Take a Shot: Chicago Bars with Basketball Hoops

Updated June 16, 2017

If you're the Chicago Bulls, you compete in the United Center. The rest of us can hoop it up in bars - Chicago has several bars with either pop-a-shot games or even full size basketball hoops. Read on about where to shoot hoops in the windy city with a drink in hand.

Full Size Hoops

Reggies rooftop in South Loop has a full size hoop and even an outdoor shower to rinse off.
