Grab a Beer and Bear Down Chicago!
There's only one way to get through the ups and downs of a Bears season: drinking. Whether they're up by 20 or blowing it in 11 seconds you know you're going to need a drink. Not one to watch the game at home? Why not join some fans for beers and (hopefully) cheers at one of these Chicagoland bars. Bear down Chicago!
Obviously the best place for beers and cheers is at Soldier Field. The atmosphere is perfect whether it’s a warm autumn day or a chilly December evening. Da Bears fans are Chicago tough!

This video was created a few years ago when Da Bears were headed for the Super Bowl. A fan, after seeing that Where’s Matt? video on YouTube, created this gem. I can’t help but giggle when I watch it. Follow Chris on Twitter.

Bears Fun Fact #4
In 1940, the Bears defeated the Washington Redskins in the Championship game 73-0.
Where are those numbers now?!
With $12 pitchers of homemade sangria and $12 pitchers of Crew Beergaritas (a signature beer-tequila mixture) how could you go wrong?

Bears Fun Fact #1
The embarrassing Super Bowl Shuffle was filmed before the Bears had even won the Super Bowl. Lucky for them they went on to win.
Bears Fun Fact #2
Even Opera singers love the Bears. Here you can see Lyric Opera of Chicago’s Bryan Griffin sing “Bear Down, Chicago Bears.”
With three levels, five projection screens, and 10 TVs, nearly every seat at The Spot is the best in the house. So if you can’t handle the weather outside, join fans at The Spot for some great drinks and eats.

Bears Fun Fact #3
The Bears have only been called “The Bears” since 1922. Originally they were named the Decatur Staleys, then the Chicago Staleys.
Ah…remember this proud Bears moment? Think we’ll make it again this year?

The Bears moved from Wrigley Field to Soldier Field in 1971 after residents in the vicinity of Northwestern University objected to them playing there at Dyche Stadium.
WestEnd

@dshanahan: Lots of flatscreens.
@RayRay84: WestEnd is good…they have smaller flatscreens in the booths in addition to the huge ones in the bar.

This is one of my favorite Bears pictures. Urlacher will always be my favorite Bear.
Take a peak inside of Wild Goose to see how wild Bears fans get.
My first Bears jersey was #54. If you could see my face you’d see a big giddy smile spreading across it.
Bears Fun Fact #7
The original Bears logo was a bear wearing a Bears helmet.
