Champps Americana, Lombard IL - April 22

Rating - 9.8

$2 pints on Thursday night - HUGE FAN. Finally, a CHICAGO SPORTS BAR - Portland you should all come and visit.....

Went over last night with 2 buddies and the Hawks, Bulls, Sox, and Cubs playing.....arrived around 7 pm and bar area was packed as usual and so were all the tables. Got seated within 20 minutes in the enclosed patio (just past the bar), biggest downside was only 2 small tvs out there. I used to work out in Oakbrook and was really surprised at all of the places to go out there....

Michelle was our server and was marginal at best, decent with service, but 0 smiles....also don't like the bathrooms all the way in the front...hard to navigate through the bar, better off going through the dinning area...

Food is mid-range bar food, sample platter was ok - chicken strips were HORRIBLE, boneless wings were best (just hot enough to make you sweat, but your tongue still works)... Great crowd watch and cheering the Hawks game...

Left around 10 pm and the place was still packed....
