need a little help from the Chigago guys

[saldana]

i am going to be in chicago this weekend for a business meeting, and need to find a place to watch the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight that is going to have sound.

i am staying at the Drake Hotel on the Golden Mile, and they say they are going to have it on in the bar, but with no sound, so i was hoping someone might know of a sports bar within walking distance that is going to have it on. I won't have a car, so it has to be somewhere reasonable close to walk back from whenever the fight is over.

thanks

Could go to Ditka's.

You're about a 5 minute walk from the ESPNZone (assuming it's still there), and I'd imagine they'll have it on, with sound.

If that fails, there are a ton of bars in the area, especially on Rush Street, and someone's going to be showing it, I'd imagine. Check out a search on metromix.com for names/locations.

Or, since you're staying at the Drake, which is pretty upscale, ask the concierge when you check in. Any concierge worth his/her salt should really know.

ESPNZone was still there last time I was in town, which was last month.

no car.

It's been a few years since I've been to Chicago but I thought Ditka's was only about a 10 minute walk from the Drake...

Cab ride, but this is a pretty big sports bar that is showing the fight.

Drake is very upscale. I bet if you call them they'll find out for you quickly.
