Arrow on Ogden

Just look for the BIG Arrow on the west side of Ogden Avenue right before you reach the united center, can't miss it.  
I am really glad this contemporary haven opened up within walking distance to the UC.  No shuttle needed, and sometimes they will even let you leave your car there with the valet.  
I really enjoy the laid back classy casual atmosphere, tons of TV's and great service. They have a great local and craft beer selection that I am a big fan of or a cool Pabst blue ribbon if that's what you prefer. I have not been dissapointed with the food,   I love the loaded fries and the burgers are delicious.  I also enjoy the wings and the turkey club are good for a table splitter or app.  
This is my go to pre and post event United center bar without a doubt.

This place has had a serious identity crisis.  First, it was The Ogden: a cool new bar with amazing beer and gourmet bar food.  Now, it is Arrow on Ogden: ok beer selection and equally ok food.  Sad that it changed... no longer a destination for two locals in the neighborhood.

This sports bar, which sports a fireplace and lounge furniture, is a kind of oasis in an area not known for it's robust bar scene. I stopped by after a weekday Bulls game and was pleasantly surprised to see Arrow busy but not swamped. The place can easily be described as cavernous, with the aforementioned lounging seats, bar stools, and assorted tables throughout. Hot tip: make this your postgame hangout spot.
