Key Facts About Away Team Bars in Chicago
- What this page is. A team-by-team index of away team bars in Chicago: 66 bars, 45 fan bases and 17 neighborhoods in one list.
- Leagues covered. 21 NFL teams and 24 college football teams have at least one confirmed Chicago bar here. 10 NFL teams and 27 college teams are listed with no confirmed Chicago bar.
- What each entry shows. The bar’s name, its street address, the Chicago neighborhood it sits in, and a map link. A bar that serves more than one team appears on each of those teams’ cards, which is why the page carries 75 team-by-team entries for 66 separate bars.
- How a bar qualifies. Only bars confirmed as an official fan club or alumni game-watch bar, or reported in press coverage as that team’s Chicago bar, are listed. Bars that could not be confirmed were left off.
- Neighborhoods. Eight of the neighborhoods represented — Gold Coast/Old Town, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, River North, South Loop, Uptown/Edgewater, West Loop/Fulton Market and Wicker Park/Bucktown/Logan Square — have an apartment building archive on this site, linked below.
- How current it is. The list was last checked on September 23, 2026, and is re-checked once a year. Fan clubs and alumni chapters move between seasons, so confirm with the bar before kickoff.

How the Away Team Bars List Is Organized
The away team bars on this page are grouped by league and then by conference: the eight NFL divisions first, then the college conferences — Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Independent. Each team has its own card, headed with the team name, a disc carrying the team’s abbreviation, and the number of bars listed for it. The row of colored chips above the cards jumps straight to a team.
Three controls narrow the list: the NFL / College / Both tabs switch leagues, the search box matches a team, a bar or a neighborhood, and the neighborhood menu filters to one of the 17 neighborhoods represented. Those controls only hide and show cards that are already in the page, so every bar listed here is present in the page’s HTML whether or not JavaScript runs.
What This Away Team Bars List Does Not Cover
This is a record of where out-of-town fans watch, not a review of bars. It carries no ratings, no rankings and no recommendation of one bar over another, and it publishes no menus, prices, drink specials or game schedules. A bar appears here because a fan club, an alumni chapter or press coverage placed that team there — not because the team, the league or this site endorses it.
It is also not a census of Chicago sports bars. Only bars tied to a specific out-of-town team are listed, and only where that tie could be confirmed, which is why 10 NFL teams and 27 college teams appear with no Chicago bar. Bars in neighborhoods that have no apartment building archive on this site — Roscoe Village, North Center, Lincoln Square, West Town, Goose Island and River West — are still listed; they simply carry no directory link.
For the apartment buildings themselves, this site’s own pages are the fuller record: the A–Z building index lists every building in the directory, the Chicago apartment building data page holds the aggregate figures, and the data update log records when those records last changed.
Before you go
Fan clubs and alumni chapters sometimes switch bars between seasons or pick a different spot for a big game, so check with the bar before kickoff. This list was last checked on September 23, 2026.
