If you have a hankering for Wisconsin bars, this is your trip through the Cheddar Looking Glass in Chicago. Beers were great, especially the WalleyePA made for them by Sketchbook Brewery. Fish Fryday was on point. Atmosphere was legit.

Absolutely packed with twenty somethings and completely unwilling to show more than one game during a Wisconsin game. “We’re a Wisconsin bar”… sure? So is Lotties and they don’t have a problem showing the rest of the sports happening during a Wisconsin game. I wanted to watch my team win, not be surrounded by people watching theirs lose.
Service was excellent, food was pretty great.

As good a fish fry as you'll find outside of Wisco. Some of the best fries in the city. Great place to grab a beer and hangout for a few hours.

With the Packers playing in Brazil and us being from Green Bay, we began a 3 day weekend in Chicago and first stop was Wills at the advice of some of the die hard fans back home.
Situated near Wrigleyville the atmosphere here is equivalent to a Lambeau gameday or over the top college gameday. Come two hours before kickoff or you will be standing the entire time.
If you are expecting to try their Fish Friday, don't expect it during a "special event". (Cubs game nearby or packer game on TV) Unlike Wisconsin, there is no perch served here on a gameday, which was the whole reason we chose this establishment to begin our vacation.
Burgers and wings tasted like county fair food. Edible but not great.
Front of house bartender was a crabby patty the entire time we were there. Couldn't make up her mind as to whether or not the kitchen was open. Was told to wait until 6 and then asked again at 6 for two fish plates, only to have a half a sheet of paper slapped down in front of me with a "gameday" menu. Not friendly by any means. Dark curly hair with glasses. Mixed our captain and cokes wrong. (Bartender in the next room corrected that error) Needs an attitude adjustment by management. All of the other staff was super friendly and helpful. Security was the friendliest of them all and very helpful as we were pretty much deer in headlights walking into this establishment on a late Friday afternoon.
Service was over all so bad we left shortly after kickoff and watched the rest of the game at our hotel.
Was kinda neat to be seated next to a table reserved for "packer alum" who did show up.

Used to be great. Not so much anymore. I’d stay away until the staff gets friendlier.
Cutest little Wisconsin pub, huge outdoor patio that has an optional covering for protection from rain or intense sunlight. We went to watch the game and when the direct tv went out from a storm, they swapped to backup cable, so 10/10 from me on that.
