Suffused with the glow of 19 televisions and a high-definition projector, Chicago Loop Sports Bar and Grill caters to local fans with a menu of bar favorites and ample pours of brews and drinks. A heavily sauced selection of ribs, wings, burgers, and tacos satisfies game-day cravings and lubricates tongues for arguments about whether hockey is staged. Foamy beers and mixed cocktails slide down the bar to waiting hands while events such as trivia, karaoke, live bands, and standup comedy are officiated from the stage.

Cartoon flames and pitchforks adorn Dante’s vivid red awning, which crowns a cozy, white-bricked edifice. The kitchen team serves the sinfully delicious eats in checkered paper baskets, conjuring an ambiance of Americana better than Hank Aaron obliterating an apple pie with his bat. Casual fare, such as sizzling single or double burgers alongside juicy cylinders of bratwurst and polish sausage, heats up chilled craws. A chicken sandwich, meanwhile, arrives at tables sheathed in panko-encrusted armor.

At House of Tokyo, the ordering process is just as much fun as digging into hot teriyaki dishes or popping segments of maki. Within a homey, wood-floored dining room, dual delights welcome diners in the form of a floating sushi bar and tables embedded with teppanyaki grills. A riff on conveyer-belt sushi—a popular serving method in Japan where plates of sushi pass by on a moving belt—House of Tokyo instead has a small canal of water on which wooden boats float by bearing cargo of fresh salmon, tuna, and delicately composed rolls for customers to grab. Sushi chefs also take individual orders, which diners can watch come to life behind the sushi bar. For those with heartier appetites or a fear of water, tables fitted with teppanyaki grills showcase a different kitchen skill set as chefs grill sirloin, veggies, and seafood before their eyes.
