Best Place in downtown Chicago to Watch the Bucks?

[buckeye78]

I will be in Chicago for The Game and was hoping someone could fill me in on the best buckeye bar in or near downtown to watch?

There are several Buckeye bars in Chicago.

Depending on your age--you may find some better suited for you than others.

McGee's in Lincoln Park is relatively young, filled with kids from all over Ohio that have recently graduated from college. For the Michigan game, all tables/seats will be taken/reserved by 9am.

Mickey's, also in Lincoln Park is a bit older. This is the main hangout for fraternity/sorority types after graduating college. Or at least it was about 4-5 years ago. Mickey's also has/had some of the best looking waitresses in Chicago.

Casey Moran's is located directly across the street from Wrigley. More laid back, not an official alumni bar. However this place will still get slam packed with all groups of people.

A couple other randoms--Gaslight, Vaughns and District.


All of these will be very very very busy for The Game. Expect getting to them at least 2 hours prior to kick for any hope of a seat.

We're staying near state/chestnut, so we're thinking the District is the closest. We're both around 30, so young enough to cuss out the TV, but not idiot college kids either.

Thanks for the info!
