Where to Watch the Chicago Bears

And surely Chicago sports fans – and Chicago Bears fans, in particular – don’t need to be told where to go should they want to watch a football game with other fans rooting for the same team.

But what about Bears fans from out of town that want to enjoy a game with other Bears fans when they are visiting Chicago?

And what about Chicago Bears fans that are traveling – or living, even – in other parts of the country? What are they supposed to do?

The Accidental Travel Writer has put together a highly subjective list of the Top 10 Sports Bars for Chicago Bears fans in Chicago and another list of the  Sports Bars most friendly to Chicago Bears fans in other parts of the United States.

Bars sometimes close and fans sometimes migrate to other bars. Bars also sometimes choose not to show games so always call ahead to make sure the game you want to watch will be broadcast.
