The Blues house is good craic. ESPN Zone if you are into American Sports for a feed and to drink beer while watching the game. Fadó is there as well if you want a bag of Tayto.

Michael Jordan has a bar there too I think.

If the Cubbies are playing at home, that;s worth a spin too.

If you are staying downtown head to Rush St or Division st.

Yes Jordan has a place but its just like any major sports bar.

Ed debevics is good. The thrive on rude staff ( its only in jest) but good if youre with someone who doesnt know. The more abuse you give them the better. Its the theme ! If memory serves me right its across from the Rock n Roll Hardrock cafe.

In regards to the baseball game IMO avoid like the  plague, its the most numbskullingly boring sport i have ever sat through.

12hrs ?   By bicycle maybe. Its about 3 -4 hrs. Around 180 miles as far as i can remember. Your lucky to get a ticket. Theres a 20 year wait ( or something similar ) on season tickets

Think bamboo bernies has closed now. ( ah the memories ! )
