PHOTOS: Inside Benchmark Sports Bar

Moshpix: There's a new game in town when it comes to catching the game and tossing back a few at the same time. Crowds have been flocking to Benchmark in Old Town over the past couple weeks, a multi-level sports bar distinguished by the fact that it contains a rooftop beer garden with a retractable roof. Benchmark is brought to you by the Four Corners Tavern Group, the same team behind popular sports bar outposts like Brownstone, Kirkwood and WestEnd, and many of the same menu items from those spots show up here as well. A large specialty cocktail list and wine and beer selection means that you'll easily find a distraction from the train wreck on the big screens that is the Cubs this season.
