CHICAGO — There's nothing quite like watching a Cubs playoff game surrounded by other diehard fans. Here are some places to cheer on your team tonight with like-minded locals. 

Burke's Public House, 5401 North Broadway, Edgewater: If you're a die-hard Edgewater sports fan who's not looking to be swept away in a sea of bros and greasy food, Burke's is for you. With a classy bar-food menu, flatscreen TVs, candle-lit tables and friendly neighborhood service galore, Burke's is serving up some Cubs post-season realness this week. Check out the Joe Maddon Turkey Waldorf Salad, or this week's featured burger - the Cubbie-Bleu Burger. Feel free to pair that burger with a $4 Cubs blue vodka lemonade. It's what Schwarber would want.

Hinky Dinks Pub, 3243 W. 111th St., Mount Greenwood: While most South Side bars lean heavily to the Chicago White Sox, Hinky Dinks isn't beyond showing some playoff love to the North Siders. The neighborhood bar will offer $2 domestic bottles during the game, and the bartenders have promised to buy each person in the joint a similar brew for every Cubs home run.

You Can Have Your Wine and Cheese and Baseball Too: You don't have to watch the Cubs amidst a sea of plastic red Solo cups. Turns out the owners of Bread & Wine, Irving Park's favorite farm-to-table restaurant, are baseball fans too. They're bringing in a projection screen so diners can watch the game Tuesday and Wednesday while noshing on apps that are several notches above nachos and knocking back glasses of the house red or white. Get a glass of wine and a three-piece cheese/charcuterie plate for $15, 3732 W. Irving Park Rd.

#WeareWoof! Cheer on the Cubs with your pup at "Dog Tails and Rogue Ales," sponsored by Lakeshore Beverage. The gala includes a red carpet ceremony for dogs, free portraits and a costume contest. Reps from the beer distributor will be on hand to help dogs get inducted into the craft brewery's "Rogue Nation" club while dog owners can enjoy drink deals on Rogue Dead Guy, a Maiback Ale.  The fun starts at 7 p.m; the Cubs will be playing on the TV too, per a bartender we confirmed with on Monday. Party starts at 7 p.m., Bucktown Pub, 1658 W. Cortland St.

Cheer on the Cubs in a Movie Theater-Like Atmosphere: Given Tuesday's chilly weather, Chop Shop  will be moving the game viewing from its rooftop to indoors, to the 1st Ward Event space in the back of the restaurant.  Fans can watch the game on a 30-foot projector screen.  Food specials include $5 "Chicago Style" Vienna Hot Dogs and a $15 butcher’s burger, along with a full dinner menu. Reservations for groups larger than 4 are recommended; call 773-537-4440 to book a table. Chop Shop, 2033 W. North Ave.

Treat Yo' Self at Home: If you're watching tonight's game at home, stop by Dinkel's first and get in on the bakery's buy two cupcakes — make that Cubscakes — get two free deal. Also lots of Cubs-themed cookies for a sweet taste of victory, we hope. 3329 N. Lincoln Ave., open until 7 p.m.
