Wondering if there were any bars or restaurants where fans of the Chicago Bears happened to gather for the games? Obviously the games could be seen at places like BW3 with lots of tvs but curious if there are fans that purposely gather anywhere specifically.

Anywhere Bears' fans watch football in Cbus?

The two I've seen are King Avenue Five in Grandview (it's a Chicago sports place with an owner that is originally from Chicago) and Classics in the Brewery District (which isn't a Backers Bar, but it has the NFL package and a small contingent of Bears fans). I'm sure there's more than that. But those came readily to mind.
I'm expecting they'll do nothing but disappoint me this year. But I'll cross my fingers.

Hmmm, well Classics had some fans but Classics wasn't showing the game (they can only show 4 games at once). Gresso's had it on but very limited space. Planks actually had it on and plenty of room... just no fans. I do miss the German Village BW3. Always knew you'd get to see the game and fans of every team there.

Yeah, I got shot down at Classics today. They were far more Bears-friendly last year. I also grabbed a spot at Gressos (which is definitely a Steelers bar). The only place I know now with a Bears bias is the King Avenue 5, but that's a slight drive from the GV area. Sorry for the bad advice.

although I'm not a fan of the bar, I saw about 6 or 7 guys standing outside zenos with bears gear on.

Ok, this issue just took on substantially more importance given the victory over America's Team today. The Monsters are back! At least next week its Monday night so I can watch at home (though with fellow fans would be preferable).

I watch at the Roosters on Olentangy River Road. Wings are pretty good and they are always nice with the TV's.
Great win today against the Jets. I was ecstatic.

Yeah Bethel Road Pub. 1375 Bethel Road started a Bears Backers Bar this season.. Da Bears always on the Big screen and sound every week. Pretty cool since there is a Packers Backers Bar called On Tap right across the street. The Pub is having a big party for the game this Sunday..food/pizza. 614 459-9987. Go Bears btw!!
