Sweetwater Tavern and Grille - A Great Chicago Sports Bar!

Hello folks!  Just wanted to give a shout out for Sweetwaters Tavern and Grille on Michigan Avenue.  We popped into this place as an afterthought, but it should have been out first stop.  Great beer, reasonable prices.  Totally kickin' array of HiDef sports TV.  If you want a certain game on, I'm sure that can be arranged.  The staff was very friendly, and Kevin tending bar had two great beer suggestions - The Anti-Hero IPA (the tap had a green fist...) and Surly.

Since I didn't eat there, I can't speak for the cuisine, but what I saw looked great.

Also, I'm here in Chicago during one of those Polar Vortex occurences - which just basically means friggin' cold!  -1 F for a low and 8 for a high.  But here's the cool part - you can get to Sweetwater's by using the maze of tunnels and bridges under the Hyatt and never have to step out into inclement weather.  Just take the escalator down from the West tower.  Follow that tunnell to a T intersection.  Turn left (right takes you out to Wacker...).  Jink slightly left and go up a half flight of stairs to the ped overpass.  Then down the stairs on the other side, and follow the signs to Sweetwater.

Sweetwater offers 10% off for Hyatt guests on the entire bill, including libations.  To take advantage of this, you have to get the voucher from the Hyatt Concierge first, so prior planning will pay off.
