Average cocktail: $8Save the yelling with your arms over your head for the Wrigleyville sports bars; this newcomer is for the sophisticated sports fan. The stools are cushioned, the music is mixed, and the specialty drinks are potent. The sleek decor and ambience could easily make you forget that you’re in a sports lounge, if only you could turn your head without seeing at least three flat-screens.
