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.
Phyllis' Musical Inn in Wicker Park has a large outdoor beer garden where you can catch music shows and a bounce pass:
In Logan Square you can play some hoops with Air Bud at Madison Public House, which has a full size hoop and ping pong table in the dog friendly beer garden.
The Levee in Logan Square has an indoor hoop rigged to return your ball for you.
