Place for Chicagoans to go when they're homesick or want to watch a game. Â The atmosphere here is what makes it a 4 instead of just a 3. Â The Chicago sports memorabilia is EVERYWHERE! Â There is even a stuffed bear here. Â
We came here for a few Blackhawks games as well as the Stanley Cup game. Â The last time they won the cup I was on Clark St. in Chicago (ya know the street they show on the news after the win). Â So I was not expecting the celebration that erupted at this place to be on par, but it really was! Â Aside from the riots in the street it was just as exciting here at Hob Nob.
I love the TV's at the booths, the projector and the fact that the same game is on every TV. Â This is something I really have missed since moving to AZ. Â There have literally been sports bars here that have refused to change the TV from girls softball to an NBA playoff game...uhh ok? Â This place actually understands sports.
They do lose a star for their lackluster menu. Â Nothing on the menu is great. Â It is all just OK. Â The spinach dip and cheese curds are my best recommendations, but even those are pretty standard. Â I say you definitely come here when there's a game on, but skip it for your dinner date.
