I know you like everything that is new and "upscale" trendy, but when it comes to Hubbard St Sports there is only one spot that has EVERY game and good reasonably priced food. It isn't trendy or upscale but Mother Hubbards has been a pioneer on Hubbards St It has been there since I moved into River North 15 Years ago. It still has the best BBQ Ribs and Burger around. I try them all. For me Hubbard St.t is still Mother Hubbards and O'Callaghans two of the best !

w, the fact that these privileged children are opening businesses with mom & dad's money and creating jobs in their neighborhood is something to commend and not ridiculed. I bet if I hand you a check for a million dollars and give you a whole year to invest it you probably won't be able to return a modest 3% on the investment and I can get that much by just putting the money in CD. Morale of the story is: always give credit where one is due! PS- I'm not in any way affiliated with either of these businesses or their respective owners. Now back to the Super Bowl. Where's the party at?!?! Pt.

This might have been the dumbest article I've ever seen Metromix publish... Are times really that bad where this is the top story before the Super Bowl? There are tons of better sports bars out there with less attitude at the door, better food at a better value, and that don't have big PR companies paying Lisa Arnett to cover their places. Kind of a shame to read this crap.
