As Chicago gears up for the Summer Olympics, some bars host global sports year-round

Less than a month out from the Summer Olympics' July 26 kickoff in Paris, nearly 60% of Americans say they plan to watch at least some of the Games. While there are plenty of sports bars scattered across the city for Chicagoans to tune in from, some bars cater to international sports fans year-round.

For example, AJ Hudson's Public House in Lake View and The Albion Manor in Lincoln Park - both owned by husband-wife duo Jamie Hale and Julia Shell - are home to at least seven clubs that support different international soccer teams. Shell told ChicagoGlobal she expects the Olympics to bring out even more global sports fans.
