Located in the heart of River North, steps away from the financial district, Bull & Bear has become the destination where business professionals flock to grab a drink and unwind after a long day. Bull & Bear is fully equipped to provide its guests with an experience unlike any other. Dubbed "Chicago's newest most exclusive luxury sports bar," guests can sit back and relax in rich leather banquettes, surrounded by exposed brick, polished wood, and plenty of plasma TVs—where guests can keep a close eye on the score or the daily stock market figures from any vantage point. Bull & Bear offers indoor and outdoor patio seating in addition to an extensive wine and beer list. As the only venue in Chicago to feature The Personal Table Tap, an adult beverage dispensing solution, Bull & Bear offers guests amenities unique unto itself. And, when the sun goes down, this sports bar and grill transforms into a high-energy nightspot. Once the market closes for the day, you'll know it's time to head to Bull & Bear.
