Whether you refer to it as the bean bag toss or corn hole, Baggo or bags, we've all played this fun activity at one time or another and it's awesome. One of the places to get your Baggo game face on this summer is at Wrigleyville's own Murphy's Bleachers. Located across from the world-famous Wrigley Field, Murphy's Bleachers features a huge selection of local and seasonal beers and daily food and drink specials, as well as a lively, sporty vibe — regardless of if that sport is the baseball on TV or across the street or even their own bags tournaments. So get your throwing arm warmed up and come down to one of the only places in the area that's just as fun as being at the game itself.

Located in the trendy West Town area of Chicago is Ada Street, one of the most eclectic establishments in the entire city. Open nightly for dinner and cocktails, visiting and local foodies alike must treat themselves to a meal at Ada Street to enjoy their award-winning menu options and drink selection. But stellar food aside, one of the reasons to visit Ada Street in the summer time is to take advantage of their backyard area with ping pong tables. Come by for a beer, wine or one of their handcrafted cocktails, and enjoy a game or two of table tennis in the open air with your friends.

Bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon grenades, the bacon board, beer, beer and more beer...and bocce ball. If this sounds like your version of heaven, then you need to head over to the Kaiser Tiger! Located in the West Loop, Kaiser Tiger would be a pretty awesome choice for dinner and drinks even sans the massive outdoor patio — but the fact that it exists just makes this place even better. Big on bacon, sausage and selection of beers, play bocce ball out on the patio in the summer months, and even curling in the winter! If you're tired of darts and pool and looking for a more unique social experience, look no further than the Kaiser Tiger.

Housed on the city's Near North Side and opened during the warmer months, Streeterville Social offers one of the nicest rooftop bars in the city. Participate in a game of bags, bocce ball, or giant Jenga while sampling a tasty menu and signature cocktails. With lovely views of the city to boot, Streeterville Social can easily become a favorite summer haunt for you and your friends.
