The Chicago Sports Museum, located within the restaurant, features a rotating collection of priceless Chicago sports memorabilia and other unique Chicago artifacts. The Museum was recently featured in a Chicago Tribune article highlighting Chicago’s greatest sports treasures. Five of the 16 artifacts mentioned in the article are housed at the Museum—more than any other location in Chicago. They include the Bartman Ball, Sammy Sosa’s corked bat, a baseball used by Kerry Wood in his 1998 historic 20 strike-out game, Orlando Palmeiro’s bat used to make the last out in the White Sox 2005 World Series, Paul Konerko’s grand slam ball from the 2005 World Series, and Patrick Kane’s mouth guard worn during game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals. An exciting new addition to the collection is the ball that made the last out in the Cubs 1945 World Series win. In addition to these and many other key pieces of Chicago sports history, the Museum displays items from several Hollywood stars with ties to Chicago. These include Harold Ramis' Ghostbusters jumpsuit and glasses, Jeremy Piven’s Gucci suit worn in Entourage and James Denton’s t-shirt worn during an episode of Desperate Housewives.
