My in laws will be coming in next week and we will be going to a Bulls game, this will be my first Bulls game. I was trying to find restaurants nearby that have shuttles to the United Center. When I lived in Milwaukee we would have dinner before the game at restaurants that had free shuttles over to the Bradley Center. It was great because I parked for free, could have a couple beers before the game, and didn't have to worry about traffic near the stadium. I assume there are restaurants that do this same thing here in Chicago, I just know which ones. Any recommendations?

Oh, I almost forgot, our group of 5 will range from age 60 down to age 10. A fun casual restaurant would be what i am looking for.

I believe West End on Madison has a shuttle, but its more of a bar than a restaurant, so it might not be the best candidate for your group. You'd also still have a hard time finding free parking, since this is not Milwaukee.

Maybe you could just park near Leona's, a nice family-style american italian restaurant with a few locations in Chicago, at Damen and Augusta, then take the #50 Damen bus to the United Center. It would be about a 7-10 minute bus ride from there. Of course, if you're paying bus fare for 5, you might as well just pay the 20 bucks for parking.

Default Free United Center Street Parking

There are many streets close by the United Center where you can park for free

Here's a link to a United Center Street parking map

You can park for free no matter what the United Center event is.
