Hey EC Pack- try this link on JSOnline. Lists Packer bars by state across the country.
It's the least that one EC fan can do for another..

Aaron Rodgers is part owner in the Beachwood on Mission Blvd. in Pacific Beach. Every Sunday the ground floor bar "Red's Saloon" is dedicated to the Pack.
The Aussie Pub on Grand has been Packer heaven since the mid-90s

Oldgraymare: You bet! 
Thanks folks!
I remembered a couple of links but couldn't recall them.

Fluffer4Favre is a huge fan of the Aussie Pub. I think he actually got molested there. You should check it out.
Hey JJSD, you wouldn't happen to be that old drunk with the stupid "It's another Green Bay first down!" chant, who carries around that poor, scared, half-dead dog, would you?
does look like a great meating place for a packer game.
No, I don't bring my dogs there, and I always found it difficult to differentiate between the patrons during the games. You sure seem to know an awful lot about a place you hate, though.
Familiarity breeds contempt and all that.
And yeah, I've gone there a lot over the past five years or so. The crowd is pretty good, but the service is a joke and the restroom is particularly filthy, typically with a broken urinal or toilet that won't be fixed for months. And for some reason this year they took down all their Packer memorabilia, just in time for a Super Bowl run. I would never consider going there for a game that was on television locally.
If I didn't have line-of-sight issues with DirecTV I would get Sunday Ticket rather than going to the Aussie Pub, even though with the Aussie Pub I'd get all the games I need plus food for cheaper than DirecTV's price gouging. They take the Packers fans for granted though and could really do a much better job, and make more money in the process. On that level I find that place completely mind-boggling.
If someone's dead set on being in a good, loud, 99% pro-Packers crowd and doesn't care about much else, it's a good place to go. If I was going out to a bar for this game in particular, I'd go just about anywhere else, even an Applebee's. It's not like it's a normal Sunday where if you don't go specifically to a Packers place you'll be on some random TV to the side with no audio. Heck, I think a 50/50 on GB vs Pit fans might be kind of fun as well.

One thing I remember from before I moved away from PB was that they seemed to cut the staff. Many a time I was in there and there was one or at most two people trying to deal with a full bar. That sucked.
Bub's is just up the road on Garnet, and that's a Steeler bar if anyone wants to experience both extremes.
