I currently live in the suburbs of Chicago and I have recently been offered a job in the Milwaukee area (very excited). I am a huge Blackhawks fan and was just wondering if Hawks games are televised at most bars and if there were any good bars to watch them (e.i. Hawks fans, big screen TV's, etc.). I am going to be living on Brady Street at Arlington and was hoping there was a place within walking distance. Also, I was wondering if Blackhawks games are on cable or if there are cable packages that show the games. I am super jacked to be living in Milwaukee and from what I hear Brady St. is the place to be for someone my age (24). I am just hoping I can make the move without missing any of my beloved Chicago Blackhawks games .

Best bet since I too am a Hawks fan is to find a bar you like and ask them to turn the game on or call them first to see if the have the nhl pass and once you become a regular at a bar they will have the game on ready for you. I can't name any bars off hand but I watch games on FirstRow Watch Live NHL Online | Online Ice Hockey Streaming (http://www.firstrowsports.tv/sport/ice-hockey.html - broken link). with firefox and I install ad block plus add on and it blocks the ads I can watch all hawks games!

I posted a thread about this in the past but didn't get any answers so let me know if you find anything. There is a bar in Glendale call Zambonies but I don't know if its a hockey bar.

Thanks, I'll have to try that trick with Firefox. I figured I would probably just figure it out as I go. I am just so unfamiliar with the area that I figured I would throw out a line and see what I can find out. Do you live in the Brady/Lower East Side area as well?

Nope, in Walker's Point just south of downtown.

It's Wayback Wednesday. Ever find a solid Hawks bar? I'm in Bayview and the bars I frequent humor me, but none have the NHL pass.

We get Minnesota games. I'd probably get Gamecenter. If you're set on a bar, I know Steny's has Center Ice but that's a few miles south of Brady St. so not really within walking distance.

Up Date McGillycuddys Bar on Water St is Milwaukee's Official Blackhawks bar, with a ton of blackhawks gear and posters inside.

I found it on Official Blackhawks Bars - Chicago Blackhawks - Fan Zone but this year it is not on there for some reason.

I have not been there during a hawks game since I decided to man up and buy NHL Gamecenter(League Pass) but when I was there at McGillycuddys it has the look of a hawks bar.

Guess I'll hafta man up too. Used to go there for quiz, found out it was a Hawks bar, went for a regular season game and had to ask them to turn it on.

Maybe it's gotten better, but not worth the trek.
