Of course!
I was poking around on ESPN, when I discovered a "Chicago CityGuide," which gives travelers to Chicago a rundown of places to go. Naturally I looked to see if there was anything in there I knew about - well, it didn't disappoint, with the usual fare of Cubby Bear and Sluggers. But what, oh what, was the first thing on ESPN's list of restaurants to check out?
ESPN Zone 43 E. Ohio St. (River North) 312-664-3776 This place is like an amusement park. You can enter a boxing ring and trade punches with a simulated opponent. You can face off against a computerized hockey goalie. Or you can watch live sports events on one of 37 screens, some of them HD. The food and drink is better than you'll find at most sports bars. The Screening Room features a 16-foot TV surrounded by private skybox suites.
Oh ESPN. Oh oh oh. Did you really have to plug the Zone right there? I mean, it's good and all, if you like paying $10 for a hamburger. I mean, I've been to ESPN Zone once or twice, but it's not even remotely close to being the best sports bar in the city. For shame!
