Just steps from Wrigley Field, Merkles is a Chicago bar & grill providing great food, drinks and entertainment at a great price. Patrons feel like a regular in their comfortable atmosphere.

Merkles hosts some of the best buffalo wings in Chicago, a mouth watering $6 Angus burger and fries (offered before Cub games) and their famous Fish Bowl drinks (Bootie Call, Orange Whip & Screaming Viking).

Merkles is named after Fred Merkle, a NY Giant baseball player from the early 1900. Despite a stellar Hall of Fame worthy career, he?s infamous for a base running gaff that cost his team the Pennant and sent the Cubs to the 1908 World Series. The Cubs went on to win the World Series in 1908 but have never won the World Series since. Until Fred gets his due respect, the Cubs will never win again. So they opened this bar & grill to give Fred his proper respect and lift the curse forever.  View Less

Familar bar food finds a home in Wrigleyville at this tap known for its drink specials and rowdy vibe.. In Short
Located in the former site of a Billy Goat Tavern, this sports bar has been reborn with Cubs regalia that includes vintage pictures and pennants. The handful of high-defs mean revelers won't miss a play, and a menu of wings, burgers and BLT sandwiches gives patrons the wherewithal to digit-swap and down shots.
