Where can you catch the TDF if you do not have OLN?

Try ESPN Zone.

There was another bar closer to East Bank Club advertising that they were showing the night stages of the Tour de France. I went there, and they had the volume turned down all the way, and it was just one television. It was pathetic and weak. If you find a bar, call ahead and make sure they're going to take it seriously if they show it.

Watch the Tour de France race coverage at Brasserie Jo, 59 W. Hubbard St.,
Chicago, July 2-24, 6 p.m. Chef J. Joho has created special menu items and
drinks from each region of the race route, and patrons can compete to win
dinner for two by submitting a guess for the winner of the next day's stage.

Also I think the Handlebar has TDF viewing. It's on North Ave. just east of Western Ave. Check www.handlebarchicago.com for info. It should be there.

Handlebar does not have TVs, which is a good thing 11 months of the year!

Yeah, that was the name of that tired bar with the tired coverage: Brasserie Jo

They were the ones that had the volume turned all the way down on ONE television (other ones had regular tv shows on them), and you had to get a drink or something. It was lame.

Skip that place.
