Medellin Sports Bar

Hi, first post here. I'll be in Medellin over the Christmas and New Year holidays and was wondering if anybody knows of a sports bar type place to watch college football bowl games? Thanks in advance....

Spig,

I just got back from Med. Was really busy and did not have a chance to drop by. I will on my next. I ran into a gringo that was at your place. He told me you have a nice little setup.

Look forward to dropping by.

I don't care if its not beautiful spigrimace as long as you get the yankee games... especially if we get Johan Santana for next year. =)

looks like Santanas going to Boston. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AjhxaYh38Wdm2StVUc0efWYRvLYF?slu...

Aren't all the Colombianos Detroit fans now because of Edger Renteria getting traded there?

You don't know your there until your there!

I haven't eaten at Spig's place often, but the salmon is quite good.

Yea, looks like Santana will be a Boston Red Sucks!... I don't care much about Renteria, I was born in NYC and love the Yankees... also big time Knicks and Jets fan but I won't comment on them LOL.

I stopped by Spigs place just to chat, and even though I didn't get to watch any games, I have to admit, his setup there is sweet. I'm not a huge sports buff, but I love the big events (super bowl, world series, big boxings matches, UFC, final 4, etc.). Anyway, when I'm down in MDE, spig, I'll definitely be at your spot to catch the games.

They said I couldn't play football I was too small / They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall / They say I couldn't play baseball at all / And now everyday of my life I ball.

What time did you get there? I got there at 10:30 am for an 11:00 kickoff. The place doesn't open until 11:00, but Spig was there and let me in.
