Scott…do you know if there are any “Chicago-friendly” bars or restaurants in the area where I could catch the Blackhawks and/or Bulls playoff games?
Thanks, Howard
I’d say that Dugans or Big Whiskeys might show those. They both have multiple TVs and seem to be amenable to showing games customers want to see.
