It might've been worse: Thanks to the time difference, some games start as early as 6 a.m. No matter what the hour, faithful punters queue up to get in, since it's one of the few bars in the city to carry satellite coverage of FA and European footie action (plus it's the only one Downtown, thus drawing a...

This may be a Red bar, but it is the best one in the city to watch EPL games on a Saturday morning.
