Chicago-based Packers fans are especially vulnerable. The Chicago and Green Bay rivalry has raged for years, but fear not. There are multiple bars throughout town that you can take refuge in on game day.
If you're not looking to Bear Down on Sundays, join The Pack at these spots:
Will's Northwoods Inn via their website
Will's Northwoods Inn's Wisconsin roots most definitely run deep, even for being a Chicago based bar. Founded in 1991 by descendants of long-running Wisconsin natives you could say this place may be as cheesy as you're going to get here in the Windy City. Head there to enjoy some quality time with your Packer fan brethren and even enjoy a little Wisconsin Badger action while you're at it – they're die-hard University of Wisconsin fans too.
Head a little south to hit up Kroll's to enjoy the Packers and the bar's killer Thursday night football specials. Did someone say $5 wings?
From the outside, many wouldn't peg Matilda as a sports bar. Heck, even from the inside you may not either, but come game day Matilda's transforms into a sports viewing heaven with seven projector screens and an additional four plasma tv's, all of which have sound on so you don't miss a moment of the action.

Look no further for your best bet on Packers fun in River North. O'Leary's Public House is the perfect place to sit down, grab a bite, watch the game and root for your favorite team.
