When I was there a few years ago (Monday night opener vs Pats - McFumbles ugh) there were two.

Delilah's Bar, and Lincoln Station. They're both off Lincoln Ave. Delilahs is supposed to be more of a dive. I went to Lincoln Station, and apart from the final score, I had a great time.

They're easy to find. Just look for Illinois on this page.

There is also a map of the "official" Bills Backers bars everywhere.

Looks like there are a couple in the city of Chicago (as was already said), but you might want to check out the ones(s) in the suburbs too...Streamwood is a suburb of Chicago.

Suburban Chicagoland Bills Backers
Fireside Ale House

Dunno about the others...

He's staying in the city for Riot Fest. Streamwood would be a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE to get to from the city, so I think he's better off staying urban :rofl:

If he wanted a nightmare, he'd go to Crystal Lake. I hear they have a nice camp out there they affectionately refer to as Camp Blood.

Who needs Riot Fest?

Actually we are staying by OHare because it's the only reasonably priced hotel we could find. I googled it and we are about the same distance from Streamwood and the city but we may try to check out a few more sites in the city before the game.

BTW, there really IS a Bills Backers bar at Crystal Lake in Illinois, so keep that in mind.

Also, Chicago traffic eats it and that's coming from someone who lived in DC for 12 years.

We ended up at Delilah's last night. Obviously no Bills game.

The bad: only a few Small TV's so it didn't seem ideal for game viewing, small overall, no in house food (but they do allow people to bring in outside food).

The good: punk rock on the juke box and a clientele singing along with Sex Pistols and Ramones songs, literally hundreds of whiskeys ranging from $3 Makers Mark to $100 a shot fancy ****, decent rum selection, Labatt and Genny.

It's a complete dive in every sense of the word. It's the kind of place that I love but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.

Best way to establish yourself and fit in at a dive is ordering a double Rock 'n Rye first.
