Greatest World Cup Party? Chicago isn’t hosting any games, so I did some boots on the grounds journalism to see if the most popular watch party is actually worth the hype. You can either reserve a table at Recess or stand in their line for standing room. I talked to some people and the line wasn’t bad last night, but the line has been up to 2 hours long on other nights. Plan accordingly! #worldcupwatchparty #worldcup2026 #chicago #chicagobars #goteamusa
