Chicago meeting spot (Vincenzo's)

[wildcatcorner]

It worked out last time, so they're doing it again. If you need a spot to hang out before the game, check out Vincenzo's:

"Vincenzo's is welcoming KENTUCKY fans. We had a HUGE turnout when they've played here in the past and time to do it again. Bring your friends and dress in Kentucky blue. Food and drink specials. Walking distance to the United Center."

Bump. Just a little over a week away. Should be a blast.

 

[lawrencekash]

I will be there but not able to do Vincenzo's.

 

[bigbluelou]

Will be there in spirit.

I'm going to Chicago for the game and wanted to go somewhere before. Looks like Vincenzo's is the move.

The Pony Inn is a good spot for UK fans. I was there last year for the UCLA game. They had a free shuttle to the arena too.

Yeah, I hear that's a good place.

Vincenzo's has a shuttle, but worst case, they're within stagger distance of the United Center.

Sounds good. Will have to check it out!

One last bump. I'll probably get there about 2 or 3 to start pregaming.

Where should I park around there? Never been to that area before.

What kind of food there?

I wish I could tell you. Personally, I'll be looking for street parking near a friend's place and walking. I think there was street parking near the restaurant but it might be hard to come by.

Beer.

Also pizza and sandwiches (burgers, wraps). Here is their menu.

 

[ukfan041]

Yeah, hopefully they'll be some parking, because I don't wanna pay 40 at the stadium!

 

[wildcatcorner]

There's plenty of room for now. Anyone else here?

 

[WindyCityWildcat]

Tempting. I'm in the South Burbs, was planning on watching from home. Maybe the gf and I will take a drive up though. Always good to be around my BBN brothers and sisters.

Too bad the weather is absolute crap today.

 

[kmann0433]

[dckala2]

Yep - I was at both in spring of 2014 and the Pony Inn kills Vincenzo's all day and on Tuesday's as far as UK crowds go. They also have UK schwag from Kennedy bookstore, not Amazon.

Yup. Sorry, didn't check this thread. Ended up with a pretty good turnout once we got the UK flag up. Did you make it?
