Where to Watch – Alumni Club Game Watching Locations (Chicago and beyond)
Yes, once again another post on where to watch the game. The Chicago Chapter hosts several game watching events (see below). We are also trying to catch on in the suburbs. Not surprisingly, MGoBlog has been very effective in spreading the word on our game watching events.Thanks for putting up with my posts and, as always, Go Blue!!!
Michigan vs Wisconsin
When: Saturday, November 18th. Kickoff time is 11:00 am. Plan on arriving anytime after 10:45 am as the restaurant will be opening a bit early for us.
Where: Warehouse Eatery (formerly Trax), 833 Deerfield Road, Deerfield, IL; see map here https://goo.gl/maps/YwYZzXKP25y

Our Sponsor Bars make a generous donation to our Scholarship fund to help Chicagoland Wolverines attend our great university. Each time you visit these avid Michigan supporters, you are in turn supporting our local Wolverines.

I'd be there if it weren't for the fact that I'm on daddy duty this weekend since my wife is saving lives (RN).
and THANK YOU for the suburban watch location! This has been a LONG time coming.

Seems like the last few threads like this that talked about Chicago don't include Duffy's as an alum hangout. Is Duffy's no longer a Michigan bar?

That depends on your definition of "Michigan bar." The place is still decorated in Michigan regalia. But the owners don't pay the UM Club of Greater Chicago to be one of the club's "Sponsor Bars." (That being said, I think there's still a crowd. They probably don't need the advertising via UMCGC.)

Speaking of Chicago, does anyone know of a Michigan bar close to Wicker Park/Bucktown? I'm tired of making the trek to Lakeview.
