"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee is back for another round, brought to you by Great Northern Distilling: grain to glass spirits, handmade in Wisconsin. The whole month of March, we're serving up intoxicatingly fun articles on bars and clubs – including guides, the latest trends, bar reviews, the results of our Best of Bars readers poll and more. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

The 64-team NCAA tournament begins on Thursday. And, while there are no Milwaukee-area teams taking part in March Madness this year, there are two representing the state: Wisconsin and Green Bay.

Any bar that has a television will have the Badgers game against Pittsburgh on Friday evening at 5:50 p.m. (TNT). Most will also try to show Green Bay vs. Texas A&M, which starts at 6:20 p.m. on Friday (TBS). And, if you ask nicely, any bar will probably put on the game you want, especially if it's one featuring a local player. 

Badgers and Phoenix fans need not worry about finding a place to watch the games with like-minded supporters. 

But as provincial as we can sometimes be in Milwaukee, there are actually graduates and fans of other schools here, too. Where are they going to cheer on their team? 

OnMilwaukee reached out to as many of the alumni associations of schools competing in the NCAA tournament as possible, especially those with local chapters, to try and find out where they will be congregating. About a dozen replied.

So if you want to experience the games with them – or avoid them all entirely (looking at you, Duke fans) – here's a guide to where some local alumni and fan groups will be watching their teams. (Note: We're leaving out Wisconsin, since almost every place in Milwaukee could be considered a Badgers bar; also, the Green Bay alumni association responded that "there’s not really a single location in Milwaukee for Phoenix fans to gather.")
