What is the best sports bar in the downtown Chicago area?

I am looking for a downtown Chicago bar/grill to watch college football during my visit, with places close to the El a plus. What sets this bar apart from others?

**Specifically looking for personal recommendations, something that cannot be found on the Internet**

I think this will really depend on what else you are looking for in a bar. Do you want the largest selection of drinks? A large option for food? Lots of TVs?

The best all around option, at least in my mind, would be ESPN Zone on East Ohio... several options can be found in the sources I have included.
