Theory

Nice bar/restaurant with good drinks and really good food at a reasonable price. Went on a Thursday night and were sat immediately. Service was really good and we were checked in on multiple times during our time there.Food was also great, tried the spicy chicken burger which was full of flavor and the waffle fries were full of seasoning

Nice little place. Came in for a beverage and some small bites. Missed being able to order from the Brucnch menu but barkeep made some good suggestions. Drinks were good. Try the old fashioned.

Theory is a perfect sports bar. Definitely would recommend for a game you really want to watch! The vibe was unmatched. I went for the Timberwolves and Nuggets game 7 and it was so fun. So many screens it's great for all viewing points on a table. The salad was pretty good. And really fast service too!

Great sports bar with tvs in every wall from every angle. Servers are attentive and constantly checking on you and bring your next drink before the first one finishes. I tried the sliders and mac n cheese. Perfect sliders juicy not dry and the mac has 3 cheeses one of the best I have had. Overall great place to watch a boxing match or sports game!

Not a bad place to watch a game. While the bar probably skews to a younger demographic later at night, the location was convenient to the hotel for an afternoon stop. Great service and there are screens everywhere to satiate every sports fan. The tap lineup was impressive with fair prices considering its in River North. For food, solid menu items. My buffalo chicken wrap was tasty and like the beer, priced fairly. If you are in the area and want to watch a game/match, Theory delivers.

Nice neighborhood sports bar. We stumbled in after a night of bar hopping just craving dessert and the cookie skillet was a great fix. There was a fight playing on all of the televisions. As people who could care less about the fight, we didn't feel neglected by server nor that it was too loud. Fun time, great snacks, and good service.

First time here as my coworker suggested this bar after the Bears game to continue having a few more drinks and watch other Sunday football games. The place was packed, and we were told they were in a transition between people closing out once the Bears game was over and other people coming *from* the game. Everyone we encountered from the host and hostesses to our server were actually really friendly and took great care of us. They have a million TVs in here so you'll never an issue watching any game here. The only reason I took a star off is because our food was very meh! The chips and queso dip didn't do much for me, and the wings themselves were not that great. They weren't awful, and did the job... but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back and eat them again. Maybe other food is actually good here though! Would definitely come back to try other food while drinking here!

While in town visiting family, we wanted to find a location to watch the Sunday football game. I found Theory through a Google search and decided to visit. Just as their website states, Theory is an upscale sports bar that offers an eclectic menu in a slick, loungey space with plentiful plasma TVs. We made our reservations on OpenTable which was quick and easy. Immediately upon arrival, we were greeted by hostess and taken to our table. What I enjoyed the most is that they asked us which game we wanted to watch prior to taking us to a table. They will take you to a table that is in the section where that particular football game is/will be played. I thought this was a perfect touch to customer service, as they were ensuring customers can view the game that they came to see. There are a bunch of TVs inside, which cover every single football game that is on. Please be mindful that it is very noisy. I almost think the TVs are a tad bit too loud. However, it does remind you of being at a football game in person. We ordered a few items: the traditional chicken wings with honey bbq sauce, waffle fries, and the Herky Cheesesteak with waffle fries. Everything was delicious! For drinks we ordered a lemon drop martini and a vodka/cranberry. Please be mindful that those wings are extremely saucy. I almost wanted to wipe them down before eating them. The waffle fries were amazing! They were fried to perfection. The cheesesteak was delicious as well. Overall, an amazing experience! I will definitely visit here again.

Food was super good here . The raspberry martini was super strong I couldn't really finish it but it was still good and the vodka pasta to die for I loved how it's served with mozzarella! It was definitely the best ! Service was pretty slow because we went during football season overall I would come back again due to their rotations seasonal menu

Best sports bar in river north! Their food is some of the best bar food out there and their staff is attentive and friendly! I always enjoy watching games at Theory!
