Theory

Save the yelling with your arms over your head for the Wrigleyville sports bars. This River North bar is for the sophisticated sports fan—and it's one of the only hubs for Formula 1 fans in Chicago. The stools are cushioned, the music is mixed, and the specialty drinks are potent. The sleek decor and ambiance could easily make you forget that you’re in a sports lounge, if only you could turn your head without seeing at least three flat-screens.
