Sunday\u2019s big game is like Lord Voldemort for introverts and non-sport folks alike. It\u2019s the perfect storm of sports revenge, bros, and football-obsessed fans. Avoid the Dark Lord and venture through Chicago\u2019s neighborhoods to any of these establishments for your own kind of victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopleaf Bar<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>5148 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Andersonville has a lot to offer — from exhaustive bookstores and Divas Brunch at Hamburger Mary\u2019s<\/span><\/a> to long-time establishments like Hopleaf Bar. Hopleaf brings its own game to the table: top-notch dishes and a variety of brews and cocktails (a delicious showdown!). Come to Andersonville for a book and stay for a brew at Hopleaf!<\/span><\/p>\n

Half Acre Balmoral Tap Room<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>2050 W Balmoral Ave, Chicago, IL 60625<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Venture beyond Ravenswood to the Half Acre Taproom off Balmoral. Complete with board games (Jenga, anyone?), Half Acre brews (have you tried their new Reaper Stout!?), and plenty of home-style food (BBQ!), you\u2019re sure to avoid the football-frenzy and make a few friends with fellow Half-Acre enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

DryHop Brewers<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>3155 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60657<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A microbrewery pouring their very own craft drafts, Lakeview\u2019s DryHop Brewers is an island of solace despite its close proximity to the all too familiar neighborhoods of Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park. Without a TV in sight, you\u2019re better able to discover the wide array of beers — from IPA\u2019s and lagers to hefty stouts. Be sure to come for their weekend brunch or join in afterward in the mid-afternoon for their dinner menu. You\u2019ll see a stacked fried chicken sandwich and an appetizer of curried-oysters\u2026 you won\u2019t see the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Franklin Room<\/span><\/a> |<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>675 N Franklin St, Chicago, IL 60654<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nestled beneath the L is this two-level part tavern, part speakeasy: The Franklin Room. If hops don\u2019t make you happy, venture to this River North favorite for cocktails, spirits, and sustenance. The Franklin Room showcases its cocktail prowess with an exhaustive list of whiskey, Prohibition-era inspired cocktails, and hearty portions of dreamy, bar-food meals. It\u2019s location and offerings make this a win for avoiding the big game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Skylark<\/span><\/a> |<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>2149 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60608<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This old-school hang-out in Pilsen has $5 local brews and equally diehard conversationalists. What you\u2019ll find: pinball machine, friends, beers, and delectable bar food (burgers and tots, anyone?). What you won\u2019t find: a football on the screen (primarily because there aren\u2019t any screens!). Cash-only and strict \u201canti-sleaze ball energy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fountainhead Chicago<\/span><\/a> |<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>1970 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A Ravenswood favorite, Fountainhead Chicago brings a lot of love to the table with their gastro-eats, organically grown and locally sourced. Without a TV in sight but plenty of space at the bar, you may find your special someone in time for Valentine\u2019s Day\u2026 or your new favorite dish for cold nights. Either way, you\u2019ll fall in love with Fountainhead\u2019s friendly staff and impressive menu\u2026 and forget about four quarters of ball throwing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bangers and Lace<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>1670 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60622<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bangers and Lace is not a strip club but rather a gathering space for you, friends, and strangers alike. Complete with homemade sausage, perfectly-fried cheese curds, and rotating, limited, brews from near and far, Bangers and Lace is a perfect combination of cozy cabin chic. A place for hipsters or retired hunters, Bangers and Lace effortlessly brings everyone together \u2014 without a football.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kibbitznest Books, Brews & Blarney<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>2212 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60614<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Kibbitznest Books, Brews & Blarney is a place where conversation, books, board-games, and beer are all paramount. The ultimate hideout spot: while your reading your favorite tale and sipping a brew, you\u2019re surrounded by quite murmurs of conversation. It\u2019s like a library (minus an authoritarian librarian) with a bar that has couches. Forget the WiFi password? You won\u2019t need it in this WiFi-Free-Zone. Dive into your favorite tales or play a board-games and still get your buzz on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Empty Bottle<\/span><\/a><\/span> | 1035 N Western Ave Chicago, Illinois 60622<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you hear some folk music with electric elements? Is that\u2026 Indie Music? Yes! It\u2019s coming from the live music venue in Ukrainian Village: The Empty Bottle. Consider this the \u201canti-Super Bowl\u201d party. With a local DJ behind the booth, DJ Michael Vallera, The Empty Bottle is hosting the \u201cBleak-Bowl\u201d for the \u201csporty sabbath.\u201d Complete with tunes and fellow-football-mongers, you\u2019re sure to find a brew for a reasonable price and still get your groove on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BiXi Beer<\/span><\/a> |<\/span>\u00a02515 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because it\u2019s the big game doesn\u2019t mean you have to eat classic game-day favorites. Head to Logan Square\u2019s take on a gastropub: BiXi Beer. Traditional Asian-elements meet classic American dishes for the ultimate combination of hearty meals with dynamic levels of flavor (miso and hoisin are included). BiXi Beer brings East and West together better than anyone else!<\/span><\/p>\n
