Great private room for parties and a solid place to watch the game. Food is solid especially for a sports bar and the night life there is high end . Owner is a great guy.
A great place that makes you feel at home. We had a group of out of towners and the service and hospitality could not have been any better. Very refreshing, and the food was great. Highly recommended!
Was here for a charitable event . Great cause, and Theory was very charitable in their contribution to the cause. Will definitely be back for the great food, drinks and atmosphere.
DJ is always phenomenal on Saturdays, throwback and current R&B and Hip Hop . Good Pours and nice staff .
A step above your standard sports bar ! Great for extended game watching. Rent out the home theatre like private party room . Wings half off on Wednesday and great beer selection .
Great place, nice staff , good foursquare discount , plenty of screens.... But a sports bar and grill without Comcast Sportsnet, really?!?! I don't want to watch my Bulls games sans Stacey King & N.Funk
Their daily specials are super tasty and inexpensive , plus the owner of the bar comes around to thank us for our business every time we are in there (which is a lot).
Save the yelling and arm-waving for the Wrigleyville sports bars ; this newcomer is for the sophisticated sports fan . The stools are cushioned, the music is mixed, and the specialty drinks are potent. Read more
One of my favorite bars in River North . Great food & warm atmosphere.
Great bar . The drinks are a bit over-priced in my opinion but it is LGBTQ-friendly.
Locally-brewed beer and upscale pub food live at this River North fave. Rent out the private party room . Order the Parmesan gnocchi . Play Wii. Game on!
Solid beer list and great music after 9. Food is fantastic!
Small sports bar with good cocktails .
Hawkeye bar , fun to run into fellow alum to the greatest college on earth!
Great drinks and food for a night out to watch games.
A quality sports bar for grown-ups, really friendly bar manager and good food!
Rumor has it Victoria was created to be as good as any Vienna-style beer in the world. This is obviously not true. It was created to be better. Want proof? Just walk up to the bar and order one. Read more
I've never been charged cover. Which is great. Small, but I dig it
Steak nachos , friendly service good beer selection

Taco a Trois ($8) is a bargain: choice of steak , chicken or grilled veggies in 3 corn tortillas with 4 garnishes like guac and salsa verde . Read more
Hands down, my favorite sports bar in Chicago. Try the crab dip and the nacho bites to start!
The owner was incredibly accommodating & pleasant. He truly seems to believe in quality customer service.
Great place for big sports games - they have game audio and can show 16 different sporting events at the same time on there 30 TVs
Try the Cheeseburger (via @Foodspotting)
