Title: Leavitt Street Inn & Tavern, Chicago Marquette Bar

Chicago pub, owned by a Marquette fanatic. We spent time with the owner one night (har har). They regularly have the sound on for games.

They opened the the bar during the pandemic and have, arguably, the best smash burgers in the city. The fries dips (app) is also delicious

The owner played D1 ball in HS and tried out for Dukiet teams as a walkon during the 90s. He's full of stories and he's been  hosting MU alum events on his property since he opened.

There's talk of MU alumni trips to games. Stay tuned for that.

Went there on Jakebarnes recommendation and had a blast, owner came out with skrewball shots for my friends and I. Food is great, beer and vibe is great, harkens back to the older days of the corner bar.

One minor qualm with your post, I've been there four times for games, pretty big ones to, and only once did they have the sound on inside.

Teddy is great! Love it there. They've been hit or miss about sound, but sometimes it's more of a tech issue than anything else.

Usually run into Teddy at games as he has season tix. 

As others have noted, great food and great atmosphere. Love the patio in the summer too.

Gonna have to check out this place next time I have an extended Chicago visit. I always like to support Marquette-friendly establishments, especially those with great food and atmosphere. Thanks for the recommendation!
