Antioch businesses are benefiting from the Giants making into the playoffs.
Caitlin Rice and Angelina Perez both 22 from Oakley, watched Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Tailgaters on Tuesday night, October 7.
As to why they decided to watch the game in Antioch, Caitlin said, “This is a newer tailgaters and we’ve never been here, before.”
Bill Lohr, manager of Tailgaters in Antioch, when asked if the playoffs were good for business he said, “Absolutely! I wish they A’s were in the playoffs, too.”
Tailgaters offers sports-related specials.
“We have a victory toast for all of our local, Bay Area professional sports teams,” Lorh said. “When they win, 10 minutes after regulation, it’s half-off prices on all drinks.”
At the improved Schooner’s, with new owner Mike LaCross, business has picked up during the playoff games, as well.
Besides their usual Happy Hour specials, Schooner’s offers a free pool during all Sunday, Monday and Thursday night football games. The winner gets a gift certificate equal to the score in dollars and cents. So if the score is 24-14, the winner gets a gift certificate for $24.14 to use any time at Schooner’s.
Enjoy the rest of the playoffs and go Giants!
