I live in Austin and watch games at Pluckers in Round Rock. It's almost like watching a game back home. There's also a place called Bourbon Girl downtown that caters to Bears fans. I've never been but hear good things.

Be sure to show up early (11) at Pluckers to get a seat.

Damn I only went to the Pluckers off Lamar when I lived in Austin, next time I'm in town when a Bears game is on I'll check it out.

It's run by the matriarch of the family, Mother Plucker.

Dublin Square- Fort Worth, Tx

Great place to watch the game plus great food. Everyone there is polite, except when someone walks in wearing a Packers jersey lol Lots of people from Chicago which makes it even better.

I watched the game today at Dublin Square. What an awesome group of Bear fans... I live in Chicago and have season tickets but if I'm ever in Ft. Worth again for an away game, I'll be at Dublin Square. Highly recommended...

Bumping this up. What are the best places in your city/state to watch Bears games?

I am going to put this together into 1 big post after forgetting about this post.

OverTime in Colorado Springs. Huge bear fan population. Some Steelers. I stopped going out for games years ago. I can't stand listening to other people while the game is on. I have a small group of transplants that come to my house every game. They wanted to chip in on the Sunday ticket. I said it was my treat, just keep the beer coming.

I used to drive up there when I was stationed at Fort Carson. When I would go it would be more of a Steeler bar than a Bear one and the Steeler fans were among the most obnoxious I've ever been around. The burgers there are great.

It would be awesome to get this into a spreadsheet.

Google Docs maybe?

Buffal Barbecue Wings (aka fake BDubs) Jackson, Mi

Usually they put the Bears on one of the bigger TVs in the front dining room which is partially closed off from the rest of the bar. It's not a Bears joint but really the only place to watch em here.

Out here in the suburbs it's kind of sad. Buffalo Wild Wings in Vernon Hills has a lot of screens, I won some wings ($100) last year watching games there. Some good drink and food specials, but...it's BWW. Nothing special.

Going to Smokin'-Ts tonight in Long Grove to watch the Cubs game. They have some great BBQ.

Sounds like the NW Suburbs kinda suck.

There's a few pretty good places in the Western Suburbs... I used to go to Roundheads in Lombard a lot for games. Miller's Ale House is good too..also in Lombard... Anyways in Bloomingdale/Villa Park isn't bad.

Cubby Bear North was a cool place out here in Lincolnshire before it closed down. Emil's is a good little bar with pizza and a deck, used to do my fantasy football drafts there. I'm not an expert, as I don't get out like I used to.

Chicago Bar in Tucson, AZ

About 30-50 Bears fans for every game and they show em on a 10 foot projector screen.

I must've driven by there dozens of times during my five years in Tucson. I'm clearly a fool for never going in.

Yeah, I don't remember much in the way of good sports bars in the NW suburbs during my short stint in Libertyville. I mostly hit up Mickey Finn's and The Island, although neither are sports-centric. Austin's was OK, I guess, and had some big screens if I remember correctly. That was mostly a country music bar, though, if I'm remembering right.

I wish Old Chicago here in Kansas City was Chicago-centric. Bastards.

I really don't know of any Bears-friendly bars here, which is weird for a fairly big city.

Mickey Finn's is great for beer and food, has some TVs but I wouldn't say sports are the main draw. Austin's is about the same deal, although I always see cockroaches when I'm there. LOL. That's why I hit BWW. It's atmosphere sucks, but the wings aren't bad and they have TONS of TV screens. Winning that $100 in food and beer was nice, too.

I've got nothing in Asheville, NC outside of the general population at Wild Wings, et al, which I have to suffer though.

I live in Johnson City TN, gf lives in Asheville. Smokey Bones used to be a solid Bears bar in Johnson City, TN... quit going there due to shitty food. Too many Packers, Steelers, Cowboys fans in this region.. makes no sense
