nepolo7 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Unfortunately the new watch site in chicago is not that great. Food gets a B+ a lot of options and some Husker themed entrees. Atmosphere so so. I am disappointed that it is also a IU bar. One section of the bar was set up for teh Indiana game. The bartenders were trashy, and there was an annoying dj playing sh**ty music even during the game. The music did not fit at all. All us husker fans need is the tunnel music, the fight song, and occasional butrock. Hot chicks not as plentiful as previous spots. I hope this wan't influenced by me being pissed at the husker game the whole time. Quote Link to comment

I go to The Bird's Nest...it's about 1 block north of Southport and Fullerton. The waitstaff isn't terribly friendly but it seems the crowd is friendlier and the food/drink reasonably prices. No pretensions either. Btw...am I the only one that is surprised there aren't more Husker bars in Chicago? I know there are quite a few Nebraskans in the city...you would think there would be at least a few more places to go. Quote Link to comment

Does anyone know if any of these places may have the Florida International game because its not nationally televised?!?!? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
