Stopped in before heading to a noon game at soldier field.
They opened before 8 and had the international football game on all TVs. The service was friendly, the drinks were good, and the vibes here high. We will definitely go back next time we are in the city.

Visiting Chicago from Houston, TX; Great atmosphere, good drinks, awesome food!! Owner welcomed everyone in and asked if watching particular game so the TVs could be set accordingly. Great customer service! Anita our waitress was awesome!
It was a great place to watch a football game.
We were looking for Miami Dolphins game and found it on every TV and we were quite excited till we realized it was a patriots bar. However, that being said everybody was nice and courteous the snack we had was great. The beer was cold and the staff w
Theory is the definition of a sports bar -- TVs everywhere.
No matter where you sit or stand, you'll have a clear view of the game, which makes it perfect for big matches or watch parties. I came for some F1 races and it was a blast -- lively crowd, high energy, and an easy place to get caught up in the

This place is fantastic to sit down, watch a few games, have a few drinks and enjoy. They handle crowds really well. I can't emphasize that enough! We walked in this afternoon while the Chicago Bears were playing the Lions, and it was super cr

Came here around 7 o'clock on a Thursday night, for a football game, lots of TVs and they have game audio. It was very busy, they have indoor outdoor seating, we did not have a reservation, but we were seated immediately! Our service was pretty
We went to Theory for trivia night and had a great time.
The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, and the staff kept things moving smoothly even with a packed crowd. The food and drink was exactly what I needed after a long day. It's nothing special but sometimes you just need a good bur
We came to the theory bar for trivia night.
I ordered the Southwest egg rolls and the turkey wrap. Along with a Michelob ultra and a bottle of Joel Gott wine. Service was fine and relatively quick. The aviance is a typical sports bar looking type place.
I've been to a of places and I can't recommend Theory
I've been to a of places and I can't recommend Theory enough. Joel and his staff are so friendly and accommodating. You will guaranteed have the best time!
Waffle fries and waitress were great.
PLENTY of TVs, good selection of beers, and the food was solid
A little overpriced, but the food is really tremendous.
Service was a little rude, but other than that I enjoyed my time here.
food is unreal and vibes for gameday are unbeatable.
Joel and the staff treated us like family after just a few visits. Highly recommend!
great sports bar.
sat upstairs. a touch easier to talk. fun and servers are hustling. tried the chicken nachos and they were great. very organized how they were served. not a mess of nachos but rather individual mini nacho sandwiches. great experience for wat

On a recent visit to Chicago, my wife and I stopped by Theory to watch the Warriors play in the first game of the conference semi-finals. We wanted to find a Warriors fan-base away from home we could cheer with, and with just a little bit of searchin
Watch it
Great place to watch sports! We walked in the door, and the guy at the door asked what game we wanted to watch. He was all over it and kept us up to date about when the game would start. Wow! We sat at the bar! Good queso! Jason, or bartender, was gr
Sports bar with a differnt look!
Very different and "higher end" (upstairs especially) look for a place that is basically a sports bar. Menu was decent and drinks made well (and beer cold). Glad we "fell" into on our visit!
Wish for a happy ending
Me and my team were looking for a place to eat a nice burger near our hotel. We read the reviews and we saw photos of the place, we liked it, so we decided to visit. The staff was friendly so as our waitress Maria and the dishes we ordered were delic
Delicious cocktails
One of the best place to hang out with your friends in a Theory Sports Bar $ Grill. The drinks were fantastic, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was laid-back and inviting. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious c
Fun trivia night with great food and service
We stopped by on "New Girl" trivia night for drinks and food. We had the quesadilla, turkey stack, and one of the wraps with fries and tater tots. The food was so good! We loved the atmosphere and had amazing service - thank you for taking
Fantastic for sports fans
We found out Theory has a New England Patriots fan club for every game, so we went on our visit to Chicago...it was fantastic! We arrived early to view several NFL games on large screens while we ate and drank, followed by the Patriots on most screen
Connect with users posting reservations for Theory Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Theory Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Theory Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Theory Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Theory Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Theory Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
