where to watch the Tour de France in Chicago

We'd love to watch the Tour de France -- does anyone know about bars / restaurants in Chicago showing daily feed or access to VERSUS cable?

Thanks!

Archies or Piece?

Or someone should set up a viewing party of at least one of the stages...

Yes, unfortunately the first two stages have been quite crash-filled.

Hopefully stage 3 will have more rubber staying on the road - or cobbles.

Small Bar Logan was happy to put it on (without sound) between World Cup matches last weekend.

The Versus iPhone app is also pretty awesome if you're without a TV nearby (no cable). I've been excited to stream it on my phone at work too. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/official-versus-tour-france/id377208...

i caught some of stage 4 earlier today at Cal's. drink at Cal's! it's at 400 S. Wells, and the bar entrance is on Van Buren. they get versus, and will likely be happy to change the channel to Le Tour (if it's not already on). the four or so bartenders who work there are all riders.

I don't think I can do tonight, but sometime next week should work. Any stage especially exciting?

Maybe July 14, for Bastille day? That could be fun.

I'm all for a viewing party to watch one of the Sunday stages, which are traditionally sufferfests with a mountaintop finish.

Also, for those wishing to view from home / work over the net:
