Great Restaurant Deals for the Playoffs

By Anthony Todd in Food on Jan 21, 2011 8:40PM

This morning, WBEZ introduced us to the "hot wings index," gauging the economic index of the playoff game by the number of wings restaurants in Green Bay and Chicago were stocking up. One restaurant, in Evanston, was planning to go through 6000 pounds of hot wings - that's 3000 chickens! Anyway, if you are looking for deals of your own, you have come to the right place. Bears fans (and Packers fans, and indifferent football agnostics) can enjoy some great food and drink specials this weekend, as bars and restaurants try to squeeze one more hot weekend of business out of football fever.

One of our favorite deals of the weekend is at Piece - they are offering a large cheese pizza and a growler of beer for $25. Pickup only, and we suggest placing your order early. 1927 West North Avenue.

LaSalle Power Company is offering $3 draft beer, $2 sliders and $5 Jameson Shots, if you want to stop in and watch the game. 500 North LaSalle Drive.

Old Town Social would be our game day headquarters, if we were planning on leaving the house. $5 egg and cheese biscuit, $7 buttermilk pancakes, $6 warm donughts and all of their home-made shots are half price. 455 West North Avenue.

Lincoln Hall will be playing the game on their 220" HD Projector Screen, and offering $9 Bud pitchers and $5 bloody marys. 2424 North Lincoln Avenue.

Have you heard of any other great deals?
