How appropriate that this Best Local Chicago spot shares the home team’s name. Check out Bull & Bear (413 N. Wells St.) in River North for Playoff action (the Bulls mascot, Benny the Bull, and some Luvabulls dancers did recently). Yelpers love its cocktails and beers, but the Kobe sliders and truffle mac and cheese are not to be missed. Enjoy a trendy vibe without missing a beat of the game with its state-of-the-art surround sound and flat screen TVs. Just a 2-minute walk from 400 N. LaSalle in River North!

The food at Best Local Schaumburg spot Stonewood Ale House (601 Mall Drive) makes this bar a suburban stand-out. Start off with nachos, order a juicy burger and end with banana pudding. Or just kick back with a beer from its great selection and watch the Bulls face the Heat on one of Stonewood’s numerous TVs. Just a 5-minute drive from Park Meadows in Schaumburg!

There are tons of big-screens for Bulls action at Lombard Best Local restaurant Roundhead’s Pizza (275 W. Roosevelt Rd.). The pizza is a slam-dunk, and the nightly beer and cocktail specials are an added bonus. Not a pizza lover? This Best Local place has pot roast waffle fry nachos that won’t disappoint. Just a 6-minute drive from City View at the Highlands in Lombard!
