50 Best Sports Bars in Chicago

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“I awoke this morning, filled with regret and resentment. I nearly stayed under my supple, cozy sheets. Yet, I prevailed. I stumbled upon this Elegant establishment. I needed something greasy and practical for a hangover. I also needed to watch the Minnesota gophers beat up Rutgers (do they even have a mascot)? I ordered the double smash burger, and went to work. The service was quick, very quick, which made me believe the burger would be subpar. My first bite awoke me. I was so back. Every following taste left me with childlike joy, much like a young Jack Slunecka frolicking through the South Dakota prairies. I can not recommend this establishment more. Thank you Parlay, not only for giving me strength. But, giving me the motivation to carry on, and make the world a better place. I Love you so so much.“

“We went in after a miserable day. We were weary and super hungry. The Pony was just the right medicine. Big kudos to our bartender who took great care of us. I had two Anti Heroes-there was a sheen of ice on the top of the beer which is just exactly how beer should be served. Our waffle fries nachos plate was huge. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and tater tots which was equally delicious. We went in around 5pm which is why I gave only four stars for atmosphere there weren't many people around. Thanks for supplying great service, tasty food and cold beer it really changed the day for us“

“I heard about this Soccer Themed Sports Bar in the City and I knew I had to stop by and see what all the hype is about!

The food was very affordable because they offer nice deals on food and drinks - Pizza and the wings were great!

The customer service was attentive and friendly.

Definitely worth checking out in West Town.“

“We live towards the Rockford, Il area but never ever miss an opportunity to visit. I get the Italian beef pizza and my friend gets the polish sausage and sour kraut pizza. TO DIE FOR!!! Love love love ❤️“

“Great Staff and food! Tables are nice, very nice clean private bathrooms and awesome environment to hang out or just chill.“

“My hangout place in Hyde Park. Tanya, my dear friend from many years ago, pours drinks and manages the Falcon with an extra helping of great personality.
Plus, you can order great food through the window that looks onto the eatery next door. Great chicken wings and Lasagna!“

“Nice bar & open late! Had a bad day with a missed connecting flight. Hotel bars charge out the wazoo so went here instead. Felt welcome and cared for by the bar tender (Emily?) great deal and good ambiance. Would return if I’m ever back!“

“i like this place extra because i am polish. bartender laughed at my excitement over my home beer being in the fridge (lone star) and said you can find it anywhere! now listen here willy i love ya but im here to tell you that just ain't true! i been to and from, across this damn nation, and outside of texas i seen it once somewhere in missouri, on the northeast coast at a single live music venue, and here at stella's tap! maybe a couple more but still this is a rare treat for a simple texan like me. thanks for the good times“

“I love this American restaurant, the food is delicious, satisfying and enjoyable. I especially love the burgers and fries, they are freshly made and very authentic. In addition, the environment here is also very comfortable and spacious, which makes people feel very relaxed and happy. The waiters are also very friendly and welcoming, they always greet guests with a smile and provide many useful tips and recommendations. All in all, this is a very good American restaurant and I will come here often to enjoy the food and time.“

“Vibes? Immaculate. Beer? Incredible. Accuracy? Only reason I give 4 stars. Asked for a dirty shirley and got a long island iced tea. Shit happens - Forest Gump. Prove me wrong next time and I correct it 😉

i stand corrected. this might be one of
the BEST chicago bars.“

“i’m writing this review as i’m still sitting in the booth because it was just THAT good.

i ordered the french onion burger with the regular fries on the side, and let me tell you i haven’t had a burger check every box like this one. the garlic aioli was the perfect amount of flavor to complement the caramelized onions. the bun was seemingly buttered and fluffy. and the fries!! they had a flakey salt with not one fry left unsalted. they were also thin and crispy to perfection.

the service was great and every staff member was always smiling. i never write reviews but this one felt very necessary. 5 stars from me!“

“Nice energetic atmosphere with a good bottomless brunch. I would suggest coming with a group and enjoying some sports! Friendly staff, and very hospitable!“

“A great oasis for NY Sports fans looking for awesome food, great drinks and a fantastic staff (and owners)! Catch your fave NY Team and root along with your fellow ex pats. A great bar and menu for non NY sports fans too!!!“

“Best soccer pub in the Midwest, maybe the country. Can’t beat the world-wide coverage, the beer and drinks menu, the food quality, and the great service. No one has this combination. That’s why Hudson’s is the official home pub of the Chicago Hammers. They know and care for the game and its supporters, and not just the so-called big six.“

“When our daughter chose your place for her birthday dinner we were skeptical. From the time we walked in until hours later we enjoyed every minute. The service and food were great. Thank you!“

“Alex is a great karaoke host! Olga is the best inviting and the sweetest bartender! ? this is a great place with great atmosphere. My boyfriend recommended this place when we started dating and now we are regulars and friends with the staff. They have a little back porch area for smoking or just getting some fresh air if it's too packed inside! I love this place!“

“Good experience with service & food!“

“Great local spot for wings, pizza, beers, music & vibes. Staff it great. It does get pretty busy or packed some times so having patience is key if you are going in hangry. Overall a great selection if you want the neighborhood bar outing.“

“Stopped by for happy hour and spent about $30 on a spicy margarita and a pepperoni pizza. The margarita had a nice kick, and the pizza was solid—crispy crust, gooey cheese. The vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. They've got pool tables and TVs for sports, making it a great spot to hang out. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the wait for food was a bit longer than expected. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot.“

“Totally what I expected and that was nice. Clean, easy to understand the game (golf) simulator, enjoyable. The music was very "clubby" which did not fit the clientele nor the time (6:00PM). Bartender / employee was very nice. Good time...“

“WOW! I cannot recommend this place enough! From the amazing drinks and food, to the friendly and attentive staff! Kelley is such an asset to First Draft, she recommended great food options, and remembered our drinks from the day before. She greeted us with the biggest smile, and made sure we were taken care of like family. Such an A++ employee - give her a raise!“

“Not one to go out on a weekend night - but the guy working the door was the best, super friendly guy without the doorman ego and went out of his way to play our requests for song. We had a large group, great drinks and bartenders - super fun vibe.“

“I am from Australia and visited Kasey's on my first night. Excellent Beer variety.
I have visited every day of my visits due to the above and also the excellence/kindness of Taylor the Bartender whom had a great knowledge of the Beers and spoiled ALL her customers....I will surely return on my next trip to Chicago. THANK YOU Taylor and Kasey's .“

“I walked here from the place I was staying for the weekend ! Although I didn’t order food, I did order drinks and they were so good! The bartender Andrew was very nice and pleasant! The service was good! It was a bit rowdy crowd there bc of the basketball game but overall a good time and definitely would be back! Also, order the summer smash! So so good if you like fruity drinks!“

“So much fun, love replay“

“Cool ppl good food and drinks“

“Great service and friendly people. Been on my list for ages!“

“the best place around. just saying“

“Sunday Funday watching NFL“

“We ended up here as we were referred by Shaw’s Crabhouse was closing at 10.
We sat at the bar and Clyde the bartender was fantastic. He made us the green tea shot, and it felt like home. Great prices, incredible service and Clyde is the greatest bartender in Chicago. Cheers to a great time.“

“Cocktails were good if pricey, great service, fun atmosphere“

“Unique neighborhood locale with its own distinct character. 2/5 for the price of the espresso martini — it’s a below-average serving portion and a lackluster flavor profile. Each room had its own vibe, decor, and ambiance. Attentive and great service from a gentleman bartender.“

“Total local joint. Love stopping in when I’m in town“

“We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to grab a bite. The service was fast and the server (owner?) was really nice. I got a chicken Marsala, it was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed an espresso. Hrana i usluga su odlične!“

“Love this spot. Always a great time and great staff“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“Subs are made with high quality meats and toppings and love the selection on tap.“

“Amazing time! Bartender is amazing! Would definitely come back! 2 nights straight and both night had a blast! Will definitely come back!“

“The Food, the service and the atmosphere…Friday and Saturday, this is where it’s at!!!“

“The team working was great, friendly, attentive and that alone provided a fantastic atmosphere. We arrived with a group of 14 and they made sure we (and everyone) were all taken care of throughout the evening. Good drink specials, good music all in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood sounds like a winner to me. We will be returning, and if you’re ever in the neighborhood you should stop by. Thanks Six Penny Team. Steve O Rodriguez on behalf of LBSC.“

“The right vibe for every event and eclectic crowd“

“Super fun place. Late night bar open until 4 every night with great bartenders and fun but firm security. On the weekends the manager is always at the front of the bar making sure everyone is safe and having fun. The Nintendo Switch on the big screen is an awesome addition on top of the Rock music playing whenever you come in. Highly recommend.“

“Went with a group of friends celebrating a birthday and the staff were amazing!! Paul was so nice and social with our whole group! I definitely rate this place 5/5 and plan on stopping anytime I’m in the city!! Thanks again for all of the hospitality!“

“Clean bar a couple blocks from Wrigley. They had free food on game day!“

“My 1st time having deep dish Chicago pizza and it did not disappoint! Great food, amazing service! Andrew was incredible, attentive, informative, and just great conversation. Will be back every time I visit Chicago!“

“Entertainment! They host punk rock groups, comedy shows and trivia night.“

“great specials, causal atmosphere Friendly bartenders who know their customers name😁“

“Good food. Large place so plenty of seating. 2 bars. Server claimed they were “changing” things so the Happy Hour was 3-5. All sign’s said 3-6. Ok….. he was a bit slow too but it was convenient cuz our hotel was across the street.“

“The best neighborhood bar. You don't have to live in the neighborhood to be welcomed.“
