NHL Center Ice bars
Do any bars have NHL Center Ice package . Looking to watch Rangers opening night oct 7th
In Key West, options for watching NHL games via the Center Ice package are somewhat limited, as most local bars primarily focus on college football, NFL, or MLB coverage. However, a few sports bars and larger establishments may carry the NHL Center Ice package or be willing to put on a specific game if requested.
Here are some tips and possible options:
- Hog’s Breath Saloon: A popular sports bar in Key West. They have multiple TVs and may be able to show a requested NHL game if you call ahead.
- Irish Kevin’s Bar: Known for accommodating sports requests. It’s worth asking in advance if they can show the Rangers game.
- Fat Tuesday (Duval Street locations): Primarily known for cocktails, but some locations with TV screens may take requests for NHL games, especially early in the season.
Additional suggestions:
- Call ahead to any sports bar you plan to visit and ask if they can access NHL Center Ice for a specific game, as not all bars subscribe year-round.
- Consider watching at the hotel or rental property if you have access to streaming services like NHL.tv or ESPN+ in case local bars cannot guarantee the game.
- Arrive early, especially on opening night, since NHL games may draw a smaller but dedicated crowd and seats with a good view of TVs may be limited.
In summary, while there isn’t a guaranteed list of Key West bars with NHL Center Ice, contacting sports-friendly bars in advance and being flexible with streaming options will maximize your chances of catching the Rangers opening night game.
