Places in Lake County to Watch the Chicago Bears
By: Jonathan Jones 09/18/2015
In my opinion, the start to the Chicago Bears season could have been worse. Holding Aaron Rodgers to only 187 yards is an understatement of playing well. However, when you’re trying to control the clock and you get down, it’s difficult to climb back into the game.
Well, Week 2 is vastly approaching and you might have been searching for the best spot around Lake County to watch the Bears. Even though they’ve changed their defense to 3-4, they’re still monsters of the midway in my book.
We’ll never forget the way they thrilled the nation, with their T formation. Let’s hope for a great Week 2, and find your bar in Lake County to watch the Chicago Bears.

The Gurnee restaurant is equipped with award-winning wings, burgers, fish and chips.
