An 84-inch HD video wall is the center of attention at Public House and the closest you’ll get to the action without being at the game. Settle into one of the table tap booths and watch the games on multiple screens while enjoying more than 100 types of beers and a menu of flatbreads, sandwiches, soups, salads and more. Or drop in before the game and try brunch offerings like chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy and doughnut fried French toast.

If you’re headed to the game, drop into Cactus Bar beforehand for free parking when you spend $25. Then hop on the free shuttle to Soldier Field that starts 90 mins before games and ends 60 mins after games, available for all guests. Of course you can also watch the games there on 10-foot projection screens and indulge in $18 Corona buckets, $5 20 oz. stadium drafts, $5 Bloody Marys and $5 burger and fries.

What could be better than craft brews and football? Grab a drink at the bar or settle in at a table and watch the Monsters of the Midway take on the competition. Try one (or several) of the ever-changing draft beers and order some non-traditional football fare such as mussels and a cheese flight. There’s also the usual array of burgers and sandwiches, pizzas and sides like sweet potato tots.

There are plenty of televisions, drink specials and bars to keep fans happy here. With three floors to watch the games on, you won’t miss a second of the action while enjoying $16 domestic buckets or $20 import buckets, and a menu comprised of smoked foods, fried foods and sandwiches.

This popular North Side spot is the go-to choice for football on the weekends. With lots of craft brews on tap as well as $15 Chicagoland draft pitchers on Sundays, you’ll find many reasons to return every week. And that’s not even taking into account the award-winning classic jumbo buffalo wings that come in several sauces including chipotle BBQ, teriyaki or chile lime.

It’s not your usual Gino’s East here as there are loads of craft brews available on tap and by the bottle, and a refined menu of Chicago favorites. Start with the artisan cheese and charcuterie board before moving onto options like the junkyard chili dog and buffalo chicken mac and cheese. Of course you can order a traditional deep dish, but there are also gourmet choices that include wild venison, spinach margherita and BBQ brisket. It’s good enough to satisfy even the Monsters of the Midway.

A spacious spot with plenty of bars, tables, flat-screens and daily specials to keep Bears fans satisfied. Sunday brunch starts at 9 a.m. during football season and features favorites such as the Egg McMorgan sandwich, steak and eggs, fiesta egg skillet and more. Sip on $5 Bloody Marys and mimosas as well as $15 Bud family buckets and you’ll be good to go by kickoff.

Fall season means plenty of football at Lion Head, where you can watch the game on multiple screens and order a table tapper to ensure the beer never stops flowing. ‘Bear Down Sundays’ feature free jersey giveaways, chances to win a $50 gift certificate by guessing the score, and drink specials that include $3 Miller Lite 22 oz. drafts and $10 Miller Lite, Coors Light and Miller 64 buckets.

The South Loop has a lot of sports fans and The Scout is probably the South Loop's busiest sports bar. Mere blocks from Soldier Field, not only did the Blackhawks bring the cup here but it's also a great place to watch football.
