GET YOUR GAME ON CHICAGO’S SPORTS BARS FOR THE WIN! By Leentje De Leeuw Winter Olympics, Australian Open, Six Nations, the Superbowl, European soccer, March Madness, and more—February and March have a lot of exciting sports in store. Here’s a rundown of some of Chicago’s best watering holes with enough beers and screens for all!
Near United Center/Near West Side The Ogden Reopening this winter under new management, The Ogden is a true sports bar with TVs everywhere, including at your own personal booth. Located steps away from the United Center, it’s perfect before, during, or after a game. Just don’t forget to grab some of their comfort food made from scratch. Did someone order a brick oven pizza?
The Third Rail This old school Chicago tavern in the heart of the West Loop pours over 90 beers and bourbons, 61 tequilas, 36 Scotches, and plenty of other options to keep you hydrated while cheering on your favorite team.
Palace Grill ‘The Madhouse on Madison’ and its owner George are true Chicago classics, especially if you’re a Blackhawks fan. Palace Grill closes in the afternoon—except on Blackhawks home game days when they’re open until the puck drops. Go Hawks!
The CrossRoads Bar & Grill This West Loop saloon has it all: a fieldstone-lined fireplace, wood-paneled walls, and tables fashioned from whiskey barrels. Plus, lots of sports-filled screens of course. A free shuttle to United Center games is also available. 28 | CONCIERGE PREFERRED
