First Place Sports Bar, Hoffman Estates

Beneath the glow of 18 high-definition televisions, Chicago sports fans toast to their teams by clinking glasses and crushing burgers at 1st Place Sports Bar & Grill. Between sips of cold, craft beer and bites of handheld eats including sandwiches, nachos, and ribs, bar-goers can throw some darts at their dart boards, or play some 8-ball around the pool table. Numerous video games, such as Golden Tee Live, Silver Strike, and Big Buck Hunter, jingle in anticipation of a feeding of dollars and quarters, while a jukebox offers a custom soundtrack to sporting revelry. Players can try their hand at one of five video poker machines as well.
