Cork Lounge

About as convivial a neighborhood bar as they come, and in spitting distance of Wrigley, too.

In Short
Reopened following the Brown Line expansion project, this is a neighborhood bar that recognizes its vicinity to Wrigley and capitalizes on an Irish theme. Even so, it's a neighborhood bar and a friendly enough place. Some woodwork around the bar, beige paint and slate floors account for other design touches. Half a dozen flat screens aren't too overbearing, despite the fairly limited space. A decent tap pours Guinness and Stella, but also holds Matilda and Great Lakes. Locals cram in during games, but the feel is decidedly un-Wrigley.
