Do tell, where are these Bengals bars?Quote:

Thanks.
I've yet to find one. OSU bars might be the best bet.
Sorry, Pedro. I moved to Chicago a couple of months back. I just haven't updated my status.Quote:

Thanks for confirming my suspicion, Rick.Quote:

Ah.... I like Claudia's, particularly those high back bark chairs, it's about a 1/2 mile from house.Quote:

FWIW, Kendall's (on Lincoln) is the best Bengals bar in Chicago. It is amazing on Sundays.
And they even serve a pretty good Cincinnati Chili during games.Quote:
