I thought this would be a fun and useful thing to compile! I wanted to get a running list of "Illini bars" in non-Champaign cities. This can include places that advertise themselves as supportive of the Illini, places where Illini fans/clubs regularly meet or even just places that have Illini stuff on the walls. As you'll notice, this is not a highly scrutinized list (for example, Brickhouse Tavern posts stuff about being an Illini bar but also gives shout-outs to Notre Dame and Northwestern). I will start with the ones I'm aware of and edit the list with any new additions:
ILLINOIS
Chicago
Brickhouse Tavern (Wrigleyville)
Dublin's Bar & Grill (Gold Coast)
Joe's on Weed St. (Goose Island)
Mother Hubbard's (River North)
Schoolyard Tavern & Grill (Lake View)
Timothy O'Toole's (Streeterville)
Downers Grove
Orange & Brew Bottle Shop and Tap Room
That's all I am aware of, but I think it would be cool to add to this list! That way if I ever find myself traveling during an Illini game in the right city, I'll know where to head.
