Our Chicago Bears *might* not be having the best season, but at least the Cubs made the playoffs! No matter what your team, or sport of choice, game days are always a fun time for food with friends. Game time food can be a lucky charm that leads to a win or a perfect consolation after a tough loss. No matter what, you know it’s going to be delicious! Here are our favorite spots for game day food…
The Beer Bistro {1061 West Madison Street, Chicago; 312.433.0013}
The Beer Bistro takes its food seriously, but everything else is fun! From pizza to sliders to classics like their Brisket Tacos with cabbage, cilantro, jalapeño, shredded mozzarella, and Bistro Sriracha Sauce, every option is a tasty one here. Take advantage of patio seating while you can!
Barrio {65 West Kinzie Street, Chicago; 312.940.9900}
Just opened this summer, Barrio is the latest concept from DineAmic Group . Their tacos are legendary, of course, but don’t forget about cocktails! The Margarita is a no-brainer and the Ring Around the Rosé has Cava rosé, rioja, mango, peach, apricot, strawberry, and orange. You can also get tacos, churros, and more to go from La Bodega del Barrio and host a watch party at home!
Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap {41 East Superior Street, Chicago; 312.266.0400}
Have you ever had Titanic Truffle Tots (complete with truffle oil, garlic aïoli, and giardiniera) or Fried Oreos? If you haven’t, make your way to Jake Melnick’s. you should! All of their game day food is no joke, and the atmosphere is perfect to cheer on your favorite team!
STK Chicago {9 West Kinzie Street, Chicago; 312.340.5636}
STK is “not your daddy’s steakhouse,” and that means that your game day experience will be like no other. Treat yourself to one of their amazing steak options, but you can also go lighter with entrées like Fried Amish Chicken or even their Baby Gem Lettuce Caesar. Enjoy them at the bar while you cheer on your team!
Tuscany Taylor {1014 West Taylor Street, Chicago; 312.829.1990}
Come in and enjoy 1/2 off all apps at a Chicago classic! On NFL game days at Tuscany on Taylor, you can get 1/2 off all appetizers with any beverage purchase from 6-9pm, every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday during games.

If there’s a day game on the horizon for your team, book your brunch at Park & Field. They have a gourmet brunch buffet, limitless libations, and a full lineup of games (on TV and to play with friends), all for under $40. It’s the best deal in town!
Frontier {1072 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago; 773.772.4322}
If you want to get your feast on, there is no better spot than Frontier. Bring the whole gang to try one of their whole animals that will last the whole game long. Their BBQ Quail Breasts and Fried Chicken Sandwich are also not-to-miss. You can’t go wrong!
