In Short
Kitty-corner to Wrigley Field, this 30,000-square-foot space features six bars stocked with standard bottled and draft brews and more than 100 TVs broadcasting the best satellite has to offer; dart boards provide further diversion. The spot's also popular for regional pop acts--though the 800-capacity main room has also hosted biggies like Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, the Flaming Lips and Run DMC. A food menu includes appetizers, burgers and sandwiches at reasonable rates.

I've been to a lot of bars and scenes in Chacago, but the Cubby Bear is at the top of my "Worst of Chicago" list. Maybe I expected too much from this venue that's located across the street from Wrigley, however, I think my opinion is fairly unbiased... Most of the staff and management were rude, cocky and generally unhelpful (even when I tipped heavily and was extremely polite). The crowd is mostly made up of dbags and frat-tards, with hardly any distinct personalities in the bunch. Save your money. You could have a much better time just about anywhere in Chi-town.

Cubby Bear is an absolute MUST, especially before or after a Cubs game. Right across the street from Wrigley, this is a true sports bar. The memorabilia is fun to look at and who knows...you just might run into a sports figure! Definitely a great time.

The place to start and end your day in Wrigleyville! This place rocks before and after Cubs games. Live bands. Fun crowd. A must visit on your next trip to Wrigley.

Save Money:
The bar has good daily specials, like domestic drafts for under two bucks and wings for under one. But beware: All deals are off on Cubs home-game days. Call ahead for more info.
Look Good:
Three separate rooms are available for parties of 50 to 200, or the entire bar (which can accommodate 1,600) can be yours. Food options, sound systems, TVs and private entrances are just a few of the perks.
Know Before You Go:
The open room boasts an elevated stage for live music, but the view can be marred if you wind up behind one of the roof supports.
