Obviously the Schoolyard is the Gold (pun intended) standard. I've been there many a time and have not been disappointed. But I've noticed that in emails for recent game watching events several other bars have been mentioned by the alumni club, and most of these have Marquette flags. I've never been to any of these other bars and I'm just wondering if they are legit Marquette bars, or at least places where more than 2 or 3 other MU people will be on gameday.

I'm mostly just curious because sometimes an alternative to the Schoolyard is convenient when its super packed.

Will's Northwood Inn on Racine and Nelson is my spot. They play all of the games and its a pretty cool bar, good food and solid drink prices.

It's a BIG Badger bar too. Also the king of Packers bars in Chicago. Murphy's Bleachers often has games as it's owned by a Marquette alum.

Exactly. Any Marquette affiliation is done to pander to the entire Wisconsin segment, that bar couldn't be any more Red.

I have heard it's not a big Brewers bar though...which would be fun considering the proximity to Urinal to the north.

For those in the Western suburbs, Emmett's Ale House in Downers Grove is a good place. The owners are Marquette grads. Another alum often brings pom pons, posters, etc. We will most likely head over there to watch the Wisconsin game.

Cortland's Garage on Cortland (between Paulina & Ashland) is also ok. I prefer drinking at Bucktown Pub across the street, but the food at Cortland's is pretty good.

By sheer force of will I plan on turning Tommy Nevin's in Evanston into an MU bar on Saturday. Even if I'm the only Warrior there.

4 Shadows isn't a bad spot. While they are not solely an MU bar, they still have the audio feed from the game instead of music; and they have got FANTASTIC tater tots and burgers

Pretty much everything on the menu at 4 Shadows far surpasses what I'd consider avg. bar food. Auggie's the man.

I heard a rumor that 4 Shadows is no longer an MU bar. I checked the website and MU is not listed anywhere. Colts, Bears, UFC, & Iowa Football (I HATE YOU) are all displayed prominently. I hate sports bars, but this still disappoints me.

I'm not ready to give up on 4 Shadows quite yet. It's possible that they didn't even have the obscure channel the game was on. I would say use this Saturday as a litmus test for the remainder of the season. They are listed as being one of the "game-watching locations"...

There is an easy way to figure this out....

Who knows Taylor Schult?

Couldn't tell you. The only time I'm in that neighborhood is for MU games

No flag is flying, its all Iowa flags. I've been wondering if they were just waiting for the football season to end to hang the MU flags or what, but as of now there is no Marquette love being shown

The guys that run Shadows are clowns. A few years ago they also half assed a failed attempt as a Steelers bar. That lasted a few weeks.

4 Shadows is on the list.

I enjoyed Finley Dunne's when they were un-officially a MU bar. Still good, if there are no competing events.

Seems like we got some imposters on our hands. Boycott 4 Shadows.....you heard it here first

So strange considering I was there for the Cuse game in the tourney, and that place was fairly crowded and very much pro-MU. LAME
