Hey everyone,

Blackhawks fan from Toronto here who's making a trip to Chicago next weekend!

My plan for Sunday is to find the best possible bar to post-up and watch football for 8 hours straight. In terms of location, I'm staying at the Congress Hotel (FWIW).

I'm a Falcons fan so ideally the bar has a lot of TVs so that I can catch my terrible team at 1pm - but mainly, I want a bar where diehard Bears fans gather and where everyone will be fully invested in the game against the Saints.

Looking forward to hearing some recommendations!

I like Jake Melnick's. Lots of TV's for watching the games, great beer list, delicious food. It will be packed during the game which seems to be what you want.

I think your hotel is on South Michigan right? So just grab an Uber, just a straight shot to N. Michigan and it will be right there once you get to Superior.

Thanks for the recommendation! Just googled and the wings alone look like they might be worth a visit.

They have the best wings I've ever had.
You were right. Best wings I ever had!!!

Thanks for the recommendation - had a great time there. Ended up spontaneously paying a pretty penny to make a visit to Soldier Field at 3:30.

That was a mistake lol
