Best Bars With Lawn Games In Chicago

Now that warmer weather has arrived, everyone wants to be outside. And some of the most fun activities to enjoy with friends are the ones can be done outdoors. Fortunately, yard games have become quite the thing to do at some of Chicago's hottest bars. There's a reason why we loved lawn games so much when we were kids, and now anyone can delight in activities like Lawn Twister or Giant Jenga, Yard Yahtzee and many more, while having some fun in the sun with a cool drink and friends old and new. Summer in the city is now more fun than ever — check out some of the best bars with lawn games in Chicago.

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.

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.
