Pass the Puck: Great Hockey Watching Bars

Subterranean, dark and grungy, this is a Gold Coast staple unlike any other Gold Coast staple (most of which involve $18 martinis and overpriced food - no here).

Biggest and best Bloody Mary bar in town. All-you-can-eat brunch. Karaoke on Sundays. What could get better than this?

Your feet will definitely stick to the dirty floor at Joe's, but I guess if you wanna watch a good game or hang out with under 21 year olds, this is your jam.

I dig this non-pretentious, divey-looking wine bar on a low-key corner in Lakeview. Hidden and awesome.

Bowling is not just for your grandpa or 5th grade field trip. Bowling can be super fun when there are drinks and 30-somethings up the wazoo. So go for 300.

Moe's is definitely bastardized Mexican, but man do those Corona Lights taste really good before, during or after a Cubs game.

This is Hoosier territory all the way. Outsiders be warned. But it's worth outsider-ship to sit on their droolworthy patio with a pint on a perfect Chicago day.

This is kind of that place where post-college Gold Coasters think it's still cool.

Way to class it up, Wrigleyville. Finally, a bar I can go to w my friends, my boyfriend or my parents. Wine, cocktails & major whiskey.
