Move over, stadium cups. The United Center is at it again with beverage offerings from some of the city’s hottest bars and pop-up mixologist appearances throughout the season. Cocktails from 15 local spots — think Moneygun, Lost Lake, Longman & Eagle, The Drifter, Drumbar and The Sixth — will now be available on a rotating basis to Bulls and Blackhawks fans during the regular season. Here’s a full list of participating bars, all (so far) on the 200 level of the arena:
Bar DeVille
The Drifter

The arena began offering a more elevated selection of cocktails last year, as well as Big Star margaritas, rare brews from Goose Island and a curated beer list. The concept, called Chicago Pours, is similar to last year’s Chicago Plate endeavor, which brought in local restaurants, such as Publican Quality Meats and Lillie’s Q. Chicago Plate is also expanding this year with new concession stands in the 300 level, including Chicago’s Dish and Legacy Burger, and adds to the main concourse: Fans there can now enjoy sliders and shoestring potatoes from Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse and oven-fired hand-tossed pizzas from Woodgrain Neapolitan Pizzeria.
