10Best Says

WestEnd Bar & Grille is a decent place for pre-game partying for United Center sporting events, particularly Chicago Blackhawks hockey games. Thirty-three plasma TVs broadcast the games throughout the friendly two-level bar. The best seats for sports fans are the leather, TV-equipped booths. It gets crowded on game days, but that's because fans can count on the bar food, including tacos, burritos and burgers and something from the expansive beer menu, filled with craft and locally brewed ales. Feel free to order another if you're hopping on the bar's free and regularly-running shuttle back and forth to the United Center. Brunch is favorite here often offering bottomless Mimosas and a Bloody Mary bar.
