Excellent sports bar! Be sure to try their Pub Pretzels and beer cheese dip which are always awesome!

Best sports bar in the area! The owner really cares about their customers and is always willing to accommodate. 10/10

Overall good experience. Thought during commercials they could play music or something instead of listening to them at full volume but overall good.

Used Open Table to find a spot to watch the Michigan Football game (Go Blue). They had an open table and told us which TVs that the game on so we were all good. Place was full and lively. No worries about getting food or drinks timely. Food came out 10 minutes after ordering. Music during commercials was a nice touch. Then game sounds when the commercials ended. I can't wait to go back!

Went to a few other spots and were met with unkind and not accommodating services. When we walked into theory they were so nice and welcoming! We are from out of town and were looking to watch a different game than the bears and they were able to turn one of the TVs to the game. Plus their food was amazing! The sweet potato tots are mouth watering and that burger was the best I’ve had in a while! Plus their drinks are well crafted and super yummy! The atmosphere of this place was so friendly compared to other sports bars in the area and it really felt like you could be friends with the people in the bar and the staff! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Theory was awesome, we were from out of town, wanted to watch a women's soccer game and they put it on for us no problem, even on college football Saturday! Highly recommend!

Number one spot for F1 in Chicago - just make sure you book or get there early for a seat at the bar as it gets busy!
Had a quick stop for a drink, ended up returning to watch world series game . Great spot for sports with large TVs

Everyone seems like good people. Great dj drops between tv commercials. Main complaint was made a reservation specifically for the first floor for the game with audio and when arrived was sent upstairs and told they would put it on up there. Going upstairs another game was starting and it was filled with that fanbase with audio. Upon going back downstair. Was told they'd change one tv to the game we just wouldn't have audio. Which sucks when everyone else would be watching a different game with audio and everyone downstairs would be watching the game we had a reservation to with audio for the full game day experience. It's a tough situation but it didn't feel like they were too concerned with remedying the misstep. Also be prepared to pay downtown prices but it is downtown so that's not really a knock.

Manager has us set up at a two top so that both of us could watch the Ohio State game Wings were delicious my steak sandwich was great and service was excellent. I'd recommend reservations on college football Saturday because it seems to be an Iowa Hawkeye watch bar but the ambience was fun everyone was going nuts on Indianas game winning drive against PSU. Don't expect a quiet atmosphere it's a sports bar.

I’m not really sure where the high ratings come from or how they came up with them. Let’s start with the fact that they charge an extra 3% to your check for “restaurant upkeep, maintenance and restaurant supplies”, instead of taking it out of the servers tips as we were told by the server. I don’t understand why a restaurant would even take those costs out of the tips of the server instead of just reflecting those business costs in whatever they charge for food, beverages and alcohol. Secondly, if you don’t sign the bottom of your check the restaurant automatically steals your money by making the gratuity on your check 20%. Our service was not that great. Once our order was taken, the server only came back ONCE. She didn’t give me a refill until it was time for us to go. When asked for a refill, she said it was coming and it came when we were ready to go. Maybe she had too many tables. The fountain drink is $4.50 and it was flat. The food was good and the portions were good. There are tvs every way you turn your head so that’s a major plus because you can see many different games going on. I’m not fond of companies forcing patrons to pay for things that they should be paying for as business expenses. It’s not my responsibility to pay for restaurant expenses like cups and restaurant upkeep. I wouldn’t come back here again.

Enjoyed watching the world series here. I was Blue Jays fan and sat with Dodgers fan for one of games. Atmosphere was enjoyable and lots of screens. Even more screens upstairs if open.
