Many people are not aware of this, but the fact is, Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe and Typhoon Saloon are in the same building, but are two completely different establishments. Every Sunday during football season, Fred\u2019s and Typhoon open up at 9 a.m. to kick off their pre-game festivities.\u00a0 On the Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe side of the establishment, you can have one of the famous breakfast burritos and find a spot to hunker down to view the Broncos game with frequent patron Byron Chamberlain, who not only used to work at Fred\u2019s Mexican Caf\u00e9, but was actually a player for the Broncos during the team\u2019s Super Bowl years in 1998 and 1999. For <b>San Diego Chargers fans and Broncos supporters,<\/b> you\u2019ll have an opportunity to catch all the action on multiple big screens when the two teams battle for supremacy in the AFC West in a huge showdown at Qualcomm Stadium on <b>Nov. 27 at 1:15 p.m.<\/b> On the other side of this establishment at Typhoon, you will see what is best described a sea of crimson-red jerseys displaying their love for the 49ers. Typhoon packs in as many as 500 high-energy 49ers fans at a time, rivaling the energy that any typhoon can generate. Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe and Typhoon Saloon are located at 1165 Garnet Ave.\u00a0 With nearly 50 televisions dedicated to football, along with a huge Sunday buffet and a make-your-own bloody Mary bar, this might well be the place for you.\u00a0 If you want to bring the kids, there is a Sunday kids\u2019 meal that comes with a margarita for mom or dad.\u00a0 You might even be more thankful than the pilgrims were when they discovered that turkeys were an excellent substitute for geese as the main course for their Thanksgiving feast. Research has shown that geese were the preferred foul to feast on during the era of the pilgrims.\u00a0 (A little tidbit to share during this holiday season.) &#8220;I love working here,&#8221; said manager Megan Pantell.\u00a0 &#8220;I have been here for over five years and the No. 1 reason is that it is not your average bar.\u00a0 On one side, we have some of the best Mexican food and family-friendly atmospheres at Fred\u2019s, and an upbeat, cutting-edge nightclub at Typhoon Saloon.&#8221; \u00a0 Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe is open seven days a week, while the Typhoon Salon is closed on Mondays \u2014 unless, of course, the 49ers have a Monday night game. &#8220;Every time the 49ers have a Monday night game it is a very special night here at Typhoon\u2019s,&#8221; said Pantell. Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe and the Typhoon Saloon are not only great places to watch football, they are two of the best places to be in Pacific Beach on Tuesday night.\u00a0Taco Tuesdays are a staple at Fred\u2019s for Pacific Beach locals who want to unwind and get some of the best tacos; Typhoon Saloon starts the week off right on Tuesdays with one of best club atmospheres in San Diego. Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe and Typhoon Saloon employ about 150 people \u2014 including bartenders, waitresses and talent that performs at the club \u2014 giving them the honor of being one of the largest independent employers in the Pacific Beach community. If you have the time this Sunday or any Sunday during this NFL football season, you will experience the next best thing to going to an actual game at Fred\u2019s Mexican Caf\u00e9 or Typhoon Saloon.\u00a0 <i>\u2014 Walter Ruskin is a member of the San Diego Community Newspaper Group\u2019s &#8220;Ugly News Team.&#8221; Catch his videos and interviews at www.sdnews.com.<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred\u2019s Mexican Cafe is a cornucopia of Sunday NFL football fun, especially if you\u2019re a San Francisco 49ers or\u00a0Denver Broncos fan.
