Chicago Bear Fan Bars across the Country

[URRRRRRRLACHER]

Gov'ners park and Hayters in Denver. There is a Denver Chicago Bears meetup group. I think that Gov'ners filled up with fans so the overflow went to Hayters. I've heard that there is a guy who flies back to Chicago, picks up pizzas and Italian beefs, and flies em back to the bar. I have never been there when that has happened, but that's the rumor.

They are downtown and about a 25 minute drive for me. So I usually drink, and storm around my house when I watch the game. It would be nice to have some good people over sometime though. I dont have any Bears fan friends out here. Just my packer fan bro-in-law, and we know that wont work.

I used to live in downtown Denver. Back in 2005 I was always searching all the sports bars for some Bear brethren to watch games with as all my friends were Bronco fans. Fortunately I found Gov's Park. Back in 2005 it was only 5-10 of us each week & we got one TV. When I moved away in 2011 Gov's was known throughout Denver as "a Bears bar." Now all the staff wear Bears gear, they play Beardown Chicago Bears regularly and yes, on certain occassions, typically the 1st game of the year someone brings in Chicago style pizza, Italian beefs & all the goodies! Every week at minimum, half of the bar is reserved for Bear fans - not at all easy to accomplish at one of the best sports bars in all of Denver. The Bear crowd there is rowdy, vocal & very energized - on any given Sunday you can expect to do shots with strangers, see people regularly dancing on top of the pool tables and just having an all around great time!

Please note: We're of course not well recepted by some Bronco fans there. A bit butt hurt because we've overtaken one of the top spots in town to watch football amongst other things........In 2009 I witnessed a random girl in a Bronco jersey go after a buddy of mine with a ketchup bottle! She was upset because we were cheering loudly but mostly because as she exclaimed; "you stole our quarterback!" I still laugh everytime I think of it.

GO BEARS!

I've been a part of the Denver Bears fan meetup since it began. The only reason it moved to Govrnr's Park is because Wymans was packed nuts to butts every game so we had to expand.

Depending where you are I'd watch games with ya. I'd even bring some good beer too

Ah gotcha. I met one of the women who (co?)runs it (cant remember her name off hand) at the Santa Claus pub crawl last year. I could be convinced to come to more of them this year. Be more than happy to have you (and friends) over for beer (I have 4 kegs of homebrew going all the time) and bbq. I am in SE Denver near Smoky Hill and Tower.

I'm going to compile all of the information and make it a home page article. With a link on the sidebar to click on for "Chicago Bear Bars Across the Country"

Go to The Woolshed if you find yourself in Dublin Ireland during the season and be prepared to sit late if the game is late afternoon or Sunday/Monday night. They play all sorts of sports there, and when I was there in the winter for the last 2 games there were quite a few Bears Fans. It has great food too. http://www.woolshedbaa.com/dublin/

Anyone know of a good Bears bar in Omaha, NE? I've just gone to Buffalo Wild Wings around 152nd and Maple. I live in Dundee now so anywhere there about would be great to commiserate with fellow fans.

If you are in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul Minnesota we welcome you to join us in Downtown St. Paul at Alary’s Bar. Alary’s opened in the current location in 1999 by the Owner, Al Baisi Jr.

Al Jr. is the son of Al Baisi Sr. who played for the Bears wearing #26 at offensive guard and defensive tackle on the World Championship teams of 1940, 1941, and 1946. He was part of the 1940 team that beat the Redskins in the Championship game 73-0 which remains today as the most lopsided win in NFL History.

Al Sr. came to Minnesota after his football career ended and opened the first version of Alary’s in 1949. He was a fixture at the newest Alary’s until in he passed in 2005. Al Jr. kept the tradition of Alary’s going by purchasing and renovating a classic brick building that housed a paint store.

During the first season of 1999 there was a small following that averaged about 30 fans per week with only one bartender/server for the whole place. It started off with the Bears Game, and ONLY the Bears Game, on 27” TV’s round the bar, a big rear-projection for most of the tables and a puny TV in the back corner for any fan of another team that might wander in.

Now the bar has hugely expanded with 50” HiDef’s everywhere, both inside and outside. There is a staff of over a dozen bartenders and servers with over 65 Beers on tap! They have the largest beer garden in St Paul where the Alary’s Burger & Brat Tailgate Tradition is serving every game no matter the weather.

There is a heated tent erected during the winter if you wish to sit “outside” and enjoy a cigar and there is plenty of Free Parking in the huge ramp right next door. Bears memorabilia populates every wall and the games average 250 fans a week with big games packing the bar to over 400 strong! We do trivia questions at half time to test your Bears knowledge.

If you are in Minnesota and you want to have the most fun with the biggest group Bears fans make sure to stop in and join us at Alary’s Bar “Where Bears Fans Meet”!

I'll stop in when I'm in Minnesota for the Bears game.

Fatso's Sports Garden - Bandera
1704 Bandera Road
San Antonio, TX 78228-3805
(210) 432-0121

HUGE pole barn style bar that has over a dozen big screens that are labeled with which game will be on each tv when you show up Sunday morning. We went there for the first 8 games of 2011 when our house was being built. Bears fans attendance ranged from 40-100 depending on the week. FWI I met a couple who claimed to be Tillman's parents who happened to be in town one weekend.

LOL at the Cowboys fan with his head down texting.

Found lots of Bear Fans at the Luxor Sports Book, Las Vegas, but that Hotel Sucks.

Anyone know a place in Madison? I picked up the Madden Sunday Ticket promo for this year but I would still much rather watch with some fellow Bears fans

Overlook bar in NYC. I haven't gone yet (I have Sunday Ticket and prefer to watch from home), but I keep meaning to make it out there.

I'm a fan of BWW's and always see a shit load of Bears fans.

Not a lot of choices out here in Montana, but Boomers sports pub in Missoula brings in a nice group of Bears fans every Sunday!

I loved Alarys when I lived in the Twin Cities. The pandemonium for the "Mike Brown games" in '01 is one of my favorite memories. Pretty cool to hear you've expanded.

I know where not to go in St Louis. Ultimately gave up finding a Bears bar and just started getting Sunday ticket about 6-7 years ago...

I also am in St. Louis, and nobody in this town seems to realize there are sports outside of this town.

(You'd think they'd get into NFL from other cities since they have stunk in football for 45 of the 50 years they have had it)

I had a "sports bar" literally across the street from me, but when you go in on a Sunday for a three o'clock game, the TV's are on the post game of the noon games, and bartenders don't seem to notice.

Syberg's (at least the one in the Chesterfield Valley) is good for keeping an eye on when games end, moving the main games to the best TV's, having all games on, etc. But in this town, even on NFL Sundays, way too many TV's have the baseball Cardinals on them, and that is always the broadcast you hear. Yuk.

I have been unable to find anywhere that Bears fans get together.
