I'm interested in hearing about the different atmospheres, turnouts and setups for game watches people attended.

The Yard in particular but also Miami Mikes, Used2Bees, Cadillac Cantina, Old Queens, and anywhere else
 
I was at Cadillac Cantina in Hoboken. Got there 30 min before kickoff and every seat and table was already taken. About 10 min after kickoff the entire bar was full with red. Game was on just about every TV with audio. Crowd got loud after anything at all positive happened (like a penalty for a first down). Unfortunately the game was not entertaining and about half the crowd left by halftime. Would've been rocking if RU made a game of it. Hopefully people come back with same energy for next away game.
 
MrScrew & I were at City a streets in East Windsor. There were probably, at peak, 25-30 Rutgers fans in attendance, some of whom found out about the place from this board & others from Facebook. As the game wore on, the numbers started dwindling until there were about 10 of us that stayed until the end. Drinks were cold food was hot. They had the game , with sound, on the 3 TVs they have with Comcast. It was all good. We will go back again for the road games we are not traveling to. Their other 8 TVs get Direct TV & they will have the sound on for the RU games.

Got to the olive branch around 11. Almost every table was filled within a half hour. The mood was good until the game actually started playing out. If you have not watched a game at the olive branch what are you waiting for? While it a little on the smaller side the place was packed and run efficently. Not sure who are server was but he worked his butt off and we were never without a drink or food. Awesome time. Will have to throw a basketball away game watch party there ( will be at all other football games this year).
 
Went to Asbury Ale House. It's a large bar and restaurant and there were tons of Rutgers fans. The signal cut out after Laviano fumbled and when it came back on Washington was up 7-0. Would have been a lot of fun had the game been better.

Miami Mikes had over 100 RU fans in a large ballroom with the game projected onto a very large movie screen. There were 2 large speakers on each side of the screen with the audio turned up way too loud for my liking. The food and drink seemed fine however service was challenging due to the large crowd. I was just happy to be able to watch the game. Although the game was live, it seemed like we were watching a taped version in SD.
 
Saw this video post of the Yard game watch - nice. Drone view- older crowd then I expected.



Added Comcast sports package 20 min before game to MIL's tv, and canceled immediately after. Thx to everyone who posted info.
