Great Chicago Sports Bars to Watch the NBA Finals

Jun 19, 2012 —  Let’s take a moment to reflect on the state of Chicago sports. First, the Cubbies are in last place (again). The White Sox are barely hanging on to their division lead. The Bears…your hopes and dreams rest on the ever petulant Jay Cutler (he’s going to ‘get it’ this year!). And Derrick Rose will be out for a very, very, very long time.

But you love sports, and there’s no better event to watch than a scintillating NBA Finals series between the NBA’s top two guys (sorry, Derrick will be out for a very, very, very long time).

So we’ve rounded up a few Chicago sports bars where you can go to watch the NBA elite, ignore the Cubs, hope for a White Sox surge, and wait (im)patiently for football season to start.

    Bull & Bear

    Lounge / Restaurant / Sports Bar

    Bull & Bear - Lounge | Restaurant | Sports Bar in Chicago.
    Even on the most crowded and rowdy evenings, Bull & Bear maintains a level of decorum worlds apart from the often raucous venues that dominate Chicago’s sports bar scene. In true Wall Street style, a forty-foot-long stock market ticker above the main bar reports recent sports updates and scores, while an almost obscene number of flat-screen TVs

    WestEnd

    Restaurant / Sports Bar

    WestEnd - Restaurant | Sports Bar in Chicago.
    Classy WestEnd entices hardcore hockey and basketball fans to slide onto rich, brown leather stools and benches that line this 5,000 square-foot bar, while they gaze lovingly at thirty-three TVs tuned exclusively to sports. Framed Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bulls jerseys serve as wall art, while a prominent strobe light erupts in a seizure of

    The Lion Head Pub

    Restaurant / Sports Bar

    The Lion Head Pub - Restaurant | Sports Bar in Chicago.
    Popular watering hole The Lion Head Pub manages to draw a clientele as diverse as its Lincoln Park surroundings, from broke students and rowdy sports fans to clubbers pre-gaming before adjourning to the sister nightclub upstairs. Starving college kids and budget-conscious button-downs gather early in the evening to devour daily specials like $2
