The Scene – A Parrot Head's paradise, this casual, colorful Lakeview bar with floor-to-ceiling windows spills out onto the sidewalk in the warmer months. At calmer times, the buzzing of the blender plays backup to Jimmy Buffett on the stereo or the Cubs game on TV; evenings are reserved for karaoke. Patrons range from 20s to 40s, but all appreciate a good, laid-back time. – – The Draw – Tropical drinks all feature fresh-squeezed juice--the only downside being that a single bartender does all the squeezing and mixing. Top specialty choices include the "Painkiller" (two…
Best place to go before and after a Cubs game!!!!

I have been going to Todd's for about 2 years now and I love it and wish I found it sooner! The staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome, esp the Mai Tai! Head there before any Cubs game and have a drink or 2 before the game and hop on the Tiki Bus and get dropped off right outside Wrigley. Head back to Todd's after the game, show your ticket stub and you get a free serving of wings! Love it. They also have really good specials, and unlike most Wrigleyville area bars, they don't pull the not valid on game day stunt. I can't recomend this place enough, it is just far enough from the swarms of people after the game that you can sit with your friends and enjoy and beer and wings.
- Pros: staff, food, location
- Cons: hard to find parking
Avoid this place.

Crowded with a lot of strange people. KARAOKE nights....This place isnt the greatest, its actually frightening. Pizza was OK.
- Pros: I HAVE TO THINK HARD AND LONG ON THIS...
Do not go there!
by anna1984
Why would anyone vote for this place to be the best Karaokee place in Chicago area???? Parking is a problem, the dj. showed very little interest and absolutely no enthusiasm. The environment feels uncomfortable..more like a tavern than a nice place to sing. Their list of songs is quiet short. Half of the songs I wanted to sing they didn?t have????? I recommend the suburbs. Jedynka club on Wednesdays has the best Karaokee! Prizes to win, great audience, excellent system.
This place is a disappointment. Do not go. .
- Pros: none!
- Cons: no parking, smells bed,
