TVs/View:

• Outdoor deck area - where game audio was being piped out to
• Dining room - multiple areas that are littered with smaller flat-screens (6 televisions in all)
• Bar - typical rectangular bar with views of 2 large and 4 smaller flat-screens

The optimal spot for viewing multiple games at once is on the far side of the bar near the doors to the outdoor deck. If positioned perfectly, 5 of the 6 televisions in the bar area are easily in your sightline at all times.  However if you have a group of more than 3 people, sitting at the bar can prove difficult for conversations.

Because of their necessary spacing due to the limited number of televisions out in the dining room areas, there was often duplication in what game was being shown on those TVs. If I wanted to sit at a table, I don't know if I could rely on a specific game being shown on any of the televisions. And even then, I still would only have 1 or 2 other games I could see from my vantage point.

Beer: 7

They have a relatively good selection of beer on draft that included Magic Hat and Samuel Adams' Cherry Wheat. There is also an extensive selection of domestic and import bottles available. This past Sunday, they were also running $2 pint specials on Miller Lite and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Food: 5

Dockside Willie's heavily promotes their broad array of brick oven and Chicago deep dish pizzas...however, no one in our party ordered one (for what it's worth, I've had them in the past and they're not that bad). Instead our group ordered a variety of other choices off the wide-ranging menu. We liked the calzone (although the onions were not caramelized as promised) and the chopped chicken salad. We were less than enthusiastic over the chicken Caesar wrap and boneless buffalo chicken wings (which were cold, over-cooked and very mild for supposedly being Hot on the spice level).

Other/Miscellaneous: 5

• Bartender John was very attentive and accommodating to our constant refills of adult beverages and our lunch order
• While they had WiFi, it was password protected and patrons are not allowed to access
• The bar and dining room became overrun with Steeler fans for the 4 o'clock games
• Sunday afternoons also appear to draw in the after-golf crowd of fifty to sixty-something year old men 

Overall: 21 out of 40

The lack in number and the sparseness of larger televisions throughout Dockside Willie's make it a difficult place to enjoy the full slate of NFL games. Upping the quality of the food coming out of the kitchen and allowing access to their WiFi would also increase their Sunday crowds. This past weekend they got lucky when local television did not broadcast the Steelers/Bears matchup so everyone had to migrate to the sports bars if they wanted to watch the game. I hope they are not relying on that every week to account for their business.

Thanks for coming and suckling Daddy's Sugar Ball...
