Lemme tell you how I feel about sports bars. They SUCK.
I went for pizza- it was a last minute family reunion. It was supposed to be a family pizza place. beggars pizza in chicagoland. Every seat in the place was near an obnoxious tv set on. There was no big game on- but some game was on. We were the large party in the place- yet- when I asked if they could turn the volumn down they said they could not. This was no place to have a conversation.
Needless to say- we did not go back the next time I was in town.
