Mohawk to Show All World Cup Games
Those of you who read our twitter or know us personally know that ATH is all about soccer. We play, we watch, etc, so we’re more or less anticipating being in front of our TVs for the next month watching every World Cup match. But, we figure a lot of people are in the same boat, and maybe a few of you are looking for a place to watch the game. Lucky for you, there’s tons of non-sports places to watch, such as the Mohawk. I caught up briefly with our friend Patrick who is helping promote the WC at Mohawk, just go get a few quick questions about why a rock n’ roll bar is showing sports. These few questions will give you some insight as to why you should join us at the ‘Hawk.
ATH: What made a bar/music venue opt to show all the World Cup games? Just for your love of the game?
Patrick: If you’re like me, you don’t really feel at home at a Sports Bar. I used to live in New Orleans and everyone went to their neighborhood bar to watch the Saints games. The excitement that is produced in space like that is something that is unattainable in a big, sports bar chain. I like the idea of mixing music and sports. Mohawk wants to provide a cool space for fans of music and sports alike.
ATH: Give us a little details on what the Mohawk will offer the soccer fans. Will there be snacks, wi-fi, vuvuzelas? Will there be anything special going on? Drink specials, etc?
Patrick: Mohawk will have drinks specials that are associated with the countries playing each day. We will have food – provided by Frank, vuvuzelas, and give aways. We have two screens + a big projected screen over the inside stage area, with quality sound through our live music PA. There will also be a live, soccer podcast being recorded during each match by BroJackson & OneOfUs.net. Plus some surprises that you don’t want to miss.
ATH: A lot of bars like to pick a team to support. Aside from the USA, is there a particular country you’re hoping billow into the Mohawk?
Patrick: In keeping with our motto “All Are Welcome,” Mohawk is supporting all teams and all fans. We want to see some good ole fashion rivalry at 912 Red River.
ATH: Who do you have winning the whole Cup?
Patrick: Can I get back to you on July 14th?
