We track tens of thousands of live Chicago deals at 312Deals. Here's where to watch.
What makes a great Bears bar
- Sound on the Bears game — non-negotiable
- Enough screens that you're not craning your neck
- Game-day specials — beer buckets, wing deals, and Bloody Mary mornings
- A crowd that cares — groaning and cheering in unison is the whole point
Where to go
Bears watch parties are spread across the city, but a few neighborhoods do it best:
- Wrigleyville & Lakeview — the densest concentration of big-screen sports bars in the city. See Lakeview deals.
- Lincoln Park — neighborhood pubs with a loyal Sunday crowd. Browse Lincoln Park happy hours.
- River North & The Loop — big rooms and bigger screens for the marquee games and prime-time slots.
The game-day move
Get there before kickoff — the good spots fill up fast for 12pm starts, and the breakfast-and-a-Bloody-Mary crowd claims the prime seats early. Pair the game with a wing deal and a beer special, and you've got Sunday sorted.
