In our quest to discover the best sports bars in the Chicago area, my wife and I have come to realize how competitive the market is, what sports bars do to attract more sports fans by expanding their menus and TV packages and game rooms....Take Coach's Corner in Elk Grove Village, for example. Located at 152 Biesterfield Road, at Cosman Road, in Elk Grove Crossing shopping center, it is a family-friendly Chicago Blackhawks-themed bar for pizza and other casual fare plus TV sports and live music. Open from 11 to midnight Monday through Thursday, 11 to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday an 11 to 11 on Sunday, Coach's Corner offers more than enough to keep sports fans entertained. Lead off with jumbo chicken wings, Wisconsin beer battered cheese curds, chips and salsa, potato skins, French fries, Bavarian hot pretzel sticks or mozzarella cheese sticks. If you're in a mood for pizza, choose thin crust, deep dish or Sicilian. The menu also features burgers, sandwiches, salads, pastas, wraps and flatbreads. On this occasion, the five of us arrived early for a Bears exhibition game. After sampling several appetizers, we ordered a 1/2-pound cheeseburger, patty melt, bacon cheddar burger, Italian beef and char-grilled Italian sausage. But that was only the first half. In the second half, as the Bears rallied, we couldn't resist a deep dish pizza, baked mostaccioli, spaghetti, a jumbo shrimp basket and a cod platter. Obviously, nobody left hungry. Or disappointed. The Bears won.More
