The Frontier bar is what you're looking for, I've been there for several games

Frontier is good, so is Ina Mae tavern if you’re looking for Nola style/saints theme.

If you just want a sports watching experience, birds nest is great.

You can also just go into wrigleyville or River north and hop bar to bar, tons of great sports pubs.

Thanks, I'll def check these out. Any experience with Blue Bayou? Looking on Google, appears to be a Nola themed Sports Bar.

Frontier closed recently unfortunately. It was by far the best away Saints bar out there. A big loss.

We always go to the Standard for LSU and Saints games when in Chicago. Assuming it's still open

Standard is great, LSU alumni owns the spot. They used to hand out free shots for LSU touchdowns. Haven’t been back in a few years.

I always loved driving by the place, huge tiger eye plastered on the front window next to the bears C right on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker.
