bar in Chicago for watching USF-ku

[slaterson]

In Chicago on business Friday night.  Can anyone recommend a bar in the downtown area for watching the game?  Top priority of this trip...

the Chicago group is having a watch party at Gamekeepers in Chicago.  http://www.gamekeeperschicago.com/

ChitownBull heads it, but I don't think he will be there this Friday.  We usually have a good turn out.  If you show up, there will be other people there.  Fun time - drink specials, food specials, etc.

There are plenty of KU bars in the Chicago area  ;D

Is gamekeepers in downtown?  If so, I'll be there with a non-USF colleague.

Thanks for the ku bar tip, but I'll pass on them for this game.

[ChiTownBull]

Below is the invite that was sent out.

I will be in Tampa for the game.

So far 10 people have said they will be there. So I would expect 10-15

Lincoln Park is about 3 miles north of downtown. Your best bet is a cab ride. Or you can take the orange line in and then a bus.

link for CTA directions is below.
