We didn’t let the Buffalo loss spoil a good time at our first Denver Broncos Quarterback Club watch party!
Twenty Bronco QB Club members had our own section in an area at Blake Street Tavern. The rest of the restaurant knew who our crowd was rooting for!
Our group came dressed in different Bronco attire. I liked these Bronco Ten Commandments!
With large screens around us we had a good view of the game action.
What would a watch party be without good food and drink? Thanks to the Blake Street Tavern attentive staff no one went home hungry!
Blake Street Tavern was packed with not only our group, but other Bronco fans and fans from visiting teams. We avoided the Patriots room!
We had a Sunday Funday at Blake Street Tavern!
Also at halftime we gave away a pair of Oakland tickets to our group, and we had a round of “just for fun” Broncos/Bills trivia (copied below) See how you can do at the trivia (our group got all 10 correct)
Look for another “watch party” for the QB Club in the future!
