Fatpour Tap Works

With a long beer list, multiple spaces, and TVs in every direction, Fatpour Tap Works is a useful sports bar across from Wintrust Arena. This spot mostly attracts visitors staying at one of the many nearby hotels—including solo diners and families trying to squeeze a vacation out of someone’s work trip. But no matter your group’s size, there always seems to be a free table. Stick to drinks while you’re here. If you need to eat something, the pub food, like the burger or pretzels with beer queso, is slightly better (and cheaper) than room service.
