Seven 10-foot screens and 16 satellite feeds make Mother Hubbard's the premier viewing venue for sports in downtown Chicago. Getting a table for the big games is not easy. Be prepared to come early. Mother Hubbard's motto to the guest is "Yes, you can have your game on a TV near you." No matter what the event may be.

Visiting college and NBA coaches stop by to scout their next opponents on Mother Hubbard's giant screens. Athletes and team executives frequently make reservations to chow down on Mother Hubbard's ribs while keeping up on the other games in their league.

Wi-Fi is free. It took Starbucks and McDonalds two years to catch up with Mother Hubbard's. Mother Hubbard's has had free wireless service available since January 2002. Just bring in your laptop and get the free password from the bartender and your flying!

I don't know about downtown places, but there's a great one on the far south side. It's called 115 Bourbon Street and is located on 115th street just west of Kedzie. Local TV crews sometimes set up there to see the crowd reaction. You'd have a great time there.

Mike Ditkas, They do allow smoking at the bar area, not a traditional sports bar, but a higher end of clientel. Plus you can see the game.
