Florida State Chicago Watch Party
Hey ya'll...

Are any of you going to be watching the Florida State game this Saturday in the city? I live on the north side and don't get ESPNU at the house so I was planning on going out to a bar for the game. I know Beer on Clark is an NIU bar and another bar in the loop? is an NIU bar? any of y'all going to be watching in the city let me know! would love to watch the game with fellow diehards ..

Also- any NIU bar suggestions/feedback would be appreciated ! Thanks.

Go Huskies, beat FSU!!

Awesome. I've never been there but it looks like a solid setup and good gameday specials! I'm planning to bring my fiancé there for the game this Saturday- hope to see some fellow Huskie fans there

I'm either going to be watching it at Anyways in Bloomingdale or Bulldogs in Carol Stream. Leaning more towards Anyways because it is an actual "NIU watch" party bar but not sure yet.

Let us know how it goes. I went to Anyways for the Wyoming game and it was miserable. It was part of the watch party but they didn't have it on tv. They were playing music. I had to ask to turn it on and was the only 1 there watching. They had no idea it was a watch party site. When I came a guy with niu letters was leaving and never came back. That was a hint of things to come.

Perhaps they have it resolved now.

Yeah BEER hasn’t been an NIU bar for at least two seasons. When I was there in summer 2017, the NIU alum bartender had been fired, and no more NIU flags flying outside the bar.

Probably for the best. BEER (formerly Purple Haze) is the worst bar in Wrigleyville. Glad to see NIU has a new spot set up at Trophy Room.

RE: Florida State Chicago Watch Party
Thanks for the heads up regarding Beer. I only watched a game or two there and it was probably 5 years ago. Bar was a dump but it was fun watching with fellow Huskie fans.

Trophy room looks nice. Looking forward to checking it out soon, if not this weekend.

Beat State!!
