Editorial Review for Cubby Bear – by Citysearch Editors

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.

Insider Tips

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Cubby Bear!! I was hosting my boyfriends birthday party and I was pleasantly surprised at the Cubby Bear for numerous reasons... 1. I chose Cubby Bear for the location (across from Wrigley Field) but I got more than I expected. Becky, their Events Coordinator set us up in a great private room overlooking the marquee! 2. The food was way better than my guests were anticipating...I suggest the chicken satay and crab cakes off the party menus! 3. The private room was great, no lines at the bar, plus we were able to set up bags and have tourneys! 4. The staff was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of... Normally I would only go to CB before or after Cubs' games, but after this experience, I can't wait to throw my next party...definitely use this venue for your next event!

Pros: Great Party Menus/Rooms and staff

Cons: I can't throw enough parties!

Wow!... what can I say... what a place... I have never been so retarted after leaving a cubby game yet to roll into the Cubby Bear... must try the blue bombs... they seem innocent but they are harmful! ....not as advertised! For the Soxs fans that want to come to a REAL party strip... hop back on the Red and go to 35th and whatever... were good on minorities! Tickler strikes yet again!

Pros: Great place for a wedding reception!

Cons: No ejector seat to my apartment!
