jetstream23 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's looking like I'll be in Chicago for Week 1 of the season. Meeting some other guys who root for various teams (a few are going to the Bears game at the same time the Jets play). But several of us looking for a sports bar to see all the games. Any places more frequented by Jets fans than others? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Been to Chicago a couple of times, but not for football. Don’t know. But if you’ve never heard Bears fans sing their fight song in person… it’s pretty funny. I used to watch Jets games in a Bears’ fans bar, when I lived in Denver. Yes, that is correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been there if I weren’t flying in to Jersey for that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I used to go to Rebel Bar, but that is closed now, apparently.

Rebel fit the Jets/Namath vibe so much better than a Country bar, but it i sthe same place. @jetstream23 below is link to the Chicago Jet Fans facebook page. It is pretty quiet right now, but activity should pick up in the next few weeks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/157168174306127 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only there a few times when it was Rebel Bar, but it should be a good time. 2 hours ago, southparkcpa said: Make sure you ask for the no shooting section. Your Newsmax is showing.

Lith Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 @jetstream23 are you going to be at Country Club for the game tomorrow. I am officialy out of Covid jail today. One day too late to fly in to Jersey for the game, but would love to meet you if you will be there tomorrow. If you are there, just look for the guy in the Bulldogs cap and say hello.

Matt39 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Last time I was in Chicago for football we went to the Old Town Pour House. Solid TV set up. Also we went to a place by Wrigley- Will's Northwood Inn (awesome bar) but its a Packers spot. Im sure they'll have all the 1pm games on.

Will have the Jet game on about a dozen TVs with sound. Probably about 100 Jet fans will be packing the place for the opener. Bears game and other NFL games in the upstaris bar, but the Jets get the main bar. Cubs play a night game tomorrow, so should be plenty of on street praking and relatively easy in and out for a noon CT kickoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am one of them. Same way in Chicago. I remember going down there for the last game of the 2015 season. Win and we are in against Buffalo. The young guys were happy, confident, partying. No way we were going to lose to Rex and the Bills. Yet it played out just as all of us older guys expected. As a Georgia grad, I know things can turn around. Just hoping the Jets can do it before I am too old to enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 First time in Chicago in a decade. Went to the Cubs game versus the Giants today. At a bar on Saturday night. There is one guy in a sauce jersey. Jumped into the pool. Gets kicked out of the bar. Let’s ******* go! IMG_1623.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
