Oso planning to go pro
Bumping this ...Going to Chicago for a few days to visit the grand-twins, and visit will include Jan 1, when MU opens BE play at Creighton. If Kirkwood is open, I like the looks of it online -- good specials on their website, and their very first FB post is a bunch of folks in MU garb getting ready for NDakSt game. We used to live just a few blocks away and I did go there a couple times, but that was long ago and it wasn't for MU games.So, have those who have gone there this season been pleased with the experience? Anybody planning to be there night of Jan. 1?
I may be there that night if this whole flu/pneumonia thing clears up. I live a few blocks away so I normally go there for games
Make 82 buy a round for the group.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
But there’s also Christmas decorations in the tree out front right now, so caveat emptor.
FWIW ... just got this message back from the Kirkwood folks re 1/1/20 vs Creighton:Yes, we will be open -- and the Marquette bball game will be on our TV's with our basketball specials!
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
With sound?This place looks too posh to be a sports bar. I mean, look at the walls.
It is certainly not posh.
I am pretty sure that “posh” and “Marquette” have never been used in the same post on Scoop until now. I mean, this is a place that thinks Arby’s is fine dining.
Bump.How was this place? Did they have sound?
Commonwealth is a Chicago MU bar. On the homepage, gameday specials.https://www.commonwealthchicago.com/
At commonwealth. There's literally nobody else here. The cheese curds are legit thoughEdit: a few more people showed up but still nothing compared to the old days at the schoolyard
So what’s the best choice for the Butler game in the Chicago area? Kirkwood’s, Old Town Pub, or Commonwealth? Schoolyard used to be the choice. Need the sound on but atmosphere and food and drinks are important.
Been going to commonwealth. Solid cheese curds, stadium cup beer specials, sound on, etc. can't speak to the atmosphere, nothing will compare to the old schoolyard
