the Sports Bar announces the addition of WiFi Internet access

the Sports Bar today announced the addition of WiFi internet access for patrons at no charge! WiFi gives users of laptop computers the ability to utilize the Sports Bar’s high speed internet connection to surf the net, check email and work away from the office!

In David Benda’s November 13, 1999 Record Searchlight article on the then new sports bar, he reported the plan to offer computer access at the Sports Bar. The original idea was to offer internet access from pc’s stationed in the facility. As the Sports Bar’s popularity grew, it became evident that stationary pc’s were not feasible. Additionally, at the time, there was no high speed internet access available on Lake Boulevard. According to Manager, Meinert Toberer, II, offering dial up service was simply unacceptable.

Now, the Sports Bar is utilizing Charter Communications High Speed Access for Business, offering the best connection speeds available in the North State! As the popularity of wireless notebook connections spread, Mr. Toberer realized he now had the opportunity to make good on that 1999 plan to offer Internet service. The popularity of the Sports Bar’s website: www.reddingsportsbar.com, made it very clear how much of the patronage utilizes the internet. Installation of a reliable wireless system began immediately.

Asked for comment, Mr. Toberer, said, "Too many people associate a bar with simply a place to, "drink." We are so much more! Folks can come in during the day, have a soda and something to eat, check out their favorite team on one of our twenty TV’s, and now, check up on the team’s stats, check their email or whatever, using their Notebook and our wireless internet access. We searched Google and Yahoo, and the Sports Bar is the only North State sports bar offering WiFi listed! People have become accustomed to having internet access at Kinko’s, Starbucks, hotels and even at some RV campgrounds, but we are certainly leading the pack in our industry; offering access in a clean comfortable environment where you can eat, drink whatever you choose, play some pool or darts and still keep up with what is going on at the office. We believe our patrons are going to utilize this new offering quite a bit."

the Sports Bar, located at 329 Lake Boulevard, is open Monday through Saturday Noon to 2:00 AM, and on Sunday 9:30 AM to 2:00 AM.

Our wireless access is available anywhere on the Sports Bar property. Our service will appear in your Notebook as simply, "the Sports Bar."

Any questions can be directed to Manager, Meinert C. Toberer, II, at: thesportsbar@charterinternet.com, through the website at: www.reddingsportsbar.com, or by calling (530) 243-9881.
