More Fan Bar in Chicago
The Barn Hockey Bar
Hockey-themed bar 2 blocks from United Center, opened 2023 in the former Ogden space. 50 TVs, hockey memorabilia, air hockey, half a Zamboni in the wall. Named for Chicago Stadium ('The Barn').
The Barrelhouse Flat
A two-story cocktail destination in Lincoln Park, The Barrelhouse Flat features a lively beer and punch bar downstairs and an intimate craft cocktail lounge upstairs. Its Victorian-era aesthetic and inventive drinks make it a top post-game spot for fans heading back from the United Center.
Cindy's Rooftop
A glass-atrium rooftop bar on the 13th floor of the Chicago Athletic Association, with sweeping views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan — patrons can even glimpse Lollapalooza from the terrace. A festivalgoer go-to.
Murphy's Bleachers Wrigleyville
Murphy's Bleachers across from Wrigley Field's bleacher entrance is the most storied sports bar in Wrigleyville, a summer institution where Cubs fans have been warming up before games and lamenting losses after for generations. The rooftop offers a partial view of the Wrigley outfield, and the massive outdoor patio is a sea of Cubbie blue on game days. Murphy's is to Cubs fans what the Shark Tank is to hockey — a place with a physical and emotional identity inseparable from the team.
