(Evidently I can't read a bracket. Originally I had this set up to be Harry's vs Cityside. It should have been Roggies vs Harry's. So things have been edited to the way they ought to be. Voting will close on Tuesday.)
In our first matchup of the Final Four we have the Cinderella story Harry's Bar and Grille vs. the stalwart of Cleveland Circle, Roggies. Harry's was written off early by many, but has come on strong with their promises of Irish cleansing and BC parties. Roggies is a juggernaut, and a fan favorite. You can read more about their paths to the Final Four here and the complete bracket can be seen here.
Here are some of the things said about Cityside previously in the tournament:
Roggies is probably my favorite place to go watch a game; they have a ton of TVs on both floors, which always show BC games. There are plenty of tables, never a wait, and a lot of pretty good food. Pizza is available until 2 so even after the drunkest nights, a Big Daddy slice is always in the realm of possibility. - The BC Girls (ACal6888, yanesp, & mek2702)
Roggie's even has a downstairs in the evenings. It can get a little sketchy, but not the bad kind, more the funny college story sketchy. And let's be honest, proximity is a huge selling point for this place. You can stager home or opt for the drunken late night BC bus experience. (Joanna)
I am a huge fan of their beer selection, there is a ton of beer on tap (more than Cityside), and the beer towers are a great option for large tables. I don't know if they still have it, but I used to love going there and grabbing an answer tablet and playing video trivia. " (BCHysteria)
#12 Harry's Bar and Grille
I'm a beer drinker so I'm always trying something new from their extensive beer selection and when I'm not sure what to choose the staff there has no trouble suggesting something based on what I'm in the mood to drink- Jennycupcakes1

Harry’s is like Jesus himself, you support him, he gets you into Heaven…you support Harry’s, they take down the sign AND make you an outstanding club sandwich with an ice cold beer.- Bernard Cleaver

I think Harry’s will have a tougher time with Roggies than CitySide. CitySide had the whole “serving appletinis to a bunch of dudes from URI” demerit working against them …
Still, tear down that sign! and the new BC / BCI hangout, Harry’s Bar & Grille! All the way!

I voted for Harry's

To be honest, I love the spirit from Harry’s but is this truly going to happen, I mean Roggies is BC heaven for any class in the last decade and a half. Obviously M.A.‘s was the spot before that and still holds a place close to my heart but Roggie’s has been the center of our BC lives for many years now. I never heard of Harry’s when I graduated in 2006, that should pretty much decide this one for me.
Harry's is also the successor to a long line of BC bars
such as El Pheonix Room and its 10 cent wings and little margaritas in plastic juice glasses
Mixed feelings: clearly in support of Harry’s enthusiasm, but just can’t imagine the championship not going to MA’s or Roggies.

Not sure if this has been broached before, but Harry’s has also been cited as the line of demarcation between BC/BU hockey territory…

Would the demarcation line be an argument in support of Harry’s? Something kinda cool about being on the front lines of the Comm. Ave. rivalry, no?

In fairness ...
The bracket is a little unconventional in its format.

Change the name of the article so we can post on Facebook
When posting on facebook, it still stays Harrys vs Cityside as the article name

Next Year!
Even though we got knocked out by Roggies we are still having the BC party here at Harry’s the first ND and BC game this year. Where we will be bringing down the “champion” sign and hanging something that you pick in its stead (obviously I will have to okay it). With that and continued BC support I am confident that we can win this whole tournament next year. Thanks to everyone who supported us here at Harry’s, we made it much further in this thing than everyone was expecting….we’ll see you in November for one hell of a bash!
