11 Best Bars to Watch a Bears Game in Chicago

Chicago runs on Bears football. And when it's game day, you need the right spot — somewhere with big screens, cheap beer, and energy that matches the fourth quarter.

We dug through our database of 11,000+ venues to find the bars that combine great game day atmosphere with actual drink deals worth your money — from Lincoln Park to Oak Lawn.

What makes a great Bears bar?

Three things: screens, specials, and crowd.

A proper game day bar needs enough TVs that you're never craning your neck, drink specials that don't disappear when the game starts, and a crowd that actually cares about the outcome. Bonus points for food specials — nothing pairs with a fourth-quarter comeback like half-price wings.
