Clint suggested a thread where we could identify sites that commonly don't have BT game(s) on a TV(s).

In Atlanta GA based on my experience I would list:

Highlands Grill East Cobb
2940 Johnson Ferry Rd.
Marietta, GA 30062
(770) 643-0138

Mellow Mushroom Atlanta
4058 Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, GA 30319
(404) 266-1661

This is not all inclusive for the metro, just in my general area.

Buffalo Wild Wings Galleria
617 Mall Ring Circle Ste 130
Henderson, NV 89014
(702) 456-1237

They claim it is corporate policy to not display BUZZTIME, however the other corporate BWWs in the area do display.

Ardie's in La Crosse, Wis. is inconsistent. Depends on whether someone has been playing.

Ardie's Flipside Pub & Grill
400 Lang Drive
La Crosse, Wis. 54603
(609)784-2242

Well, hell. That's not the only excuse the staff of that store has given. :evil:

"When we installed B-Dubs TV, we now can't show Buzztime." BULLSHIT.

"Buzztime causes burn-in on the monitors." MORE BULLSHIT.

Regardless of whether this store may be an independent franchise, IMO both Buzztime and BWW corporate need to bring the hammer down on this store's management. If it is a franchise store, I wouldn't mind seeing BWW pull the franchise from the current franchisee and give it to someone that will follow the company line instead of handing out the bullshit they have for at least a year or so. :roll:

It's official BWW policy to spend $$$$$ on buzz time but also do their best to hide the game from patrons? :lol:

And less than 2 months later, Highlands East drops BT.

Well, hell. For Clint and/or anyone else from Buzztime that may be going through this forum, any progress with respect to BWW Galleria (Mall Ring Circle, Henderson, NV)? As previously noted, their blatant lying with respect to not putting Buzztime on monitors would seem to command high level attention from both Buzztime and BWW.

I played last night at Rookie's Sports Bar in Benicia, CA... Trivia not on any TV in the place, at least not that I spotted in this unusual sprawling 3-room establishment.

Took me 15 minutes to get someone to get me a tablet from behind one of the bars.

After playing several CD games while watching Madison Bumgarner dominate, I left with the top 5 or 6 local scores for the month.

The others in the Top 10 were non-P+ default names.

I doubt this otherwise nice place will keep BT very long...

Blu 42 Sports Lounge & Grill in Walnut Creek, CA has had BT with the new tablets since early July.

I went in to check the place out tonight, not expecting to see the trivia up on TV's.

Well, of the 15 or so TV's, three of them had Texas Hold 'em on. None had trivia.

The tablet charger was accessibble, right by the bar. So, I told the bartender that nobody would ever find the trivia if it wasn't made visible on TV's.

She replied, "It's up on this TV and one up front."

I said, "No, that's the poker. Nobody will discover the trivia if they can't see it on a TV."

She looked at me quizzically, apparently having absolutely no idea there was a trivia channel. I figured it wasn't even worth trying to explain that it was
vitally important to have the trivia up on a TV, and why...

Here's the activity thus far:

A grand total of five poker plays in almost a month, and NO trivia at all, at least not until I played a few questions tonight and then left in disgust without ordering anything.

My son wanted to play SIX last night, so we tried out the place that was closest to us--Jerzee's Sports Grille. It was actually a pretty good location--clean, cozy, and apparently pretty popular. I went in and said we were there to play trivia, expecting to be seated in front of a screen displaying BT. There were more than a dozen screens around the place with different channels (or Keno) on--not one displayed trivia. They had the pads, so we could see the questions, but despite the crowd, only one other person besides my son and I was playing.

It's gotten so bad in my area, that if anybody else plays, I usually take them with me. :?

Historically Old Chicago in Louisville has always had two TV's dedicated to Buzztime. One is for poker and one for trivia. So dedicated that the image has burned in. The only exception would be NFL Sunday and UL games

Saturday I stopped by late, around 9:30pm (that's late for this ole timer). The poker TV was turned off, and the trivia TV was on tennis. I didn't say anything because I didn't have time to play trivia, but noticed that it was the first time I could recall that they didn't have it on the screen. I'll find out Thursday if this issue has been resolved
