Voted one of the best sports bars in Illinois is Piece Brewery in Chicago. Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick is one of the owners. It's a cool place to hang out and they have plenty of TVs.

At Piece, they brew their own beer and serve New Haven-style pizza. Both are delicious and award-winning. I've experienced it myself and I approve. You never know who you might run into while you're there.
