The first thing you see is the game, projected onto the wall to a scale so large it’s visible down the block. Then the hightop communal tables, the ceiling draped with an American flag. You take a seat and there’s a bartender who’s as happy to make you a cocktail (try the simple Moscow Mule) as to crack open a PBR tallboy. He serves you a Jucy Lucy, a stroke of Minnesotan genius that injects a greasy, juicy burger with Velveeta cheese. And that’s the last thing you can, and need to, remember.
The days of crappy food at sports bars are long past—these Chicago restaurants and bars deliver great bar snacks and televisions to watch the game. Whether it's Chicago pizza or even oysters you feel like noshing on while watching the Bears, these spots have you covered.
