Probably the best bar you'll find in Wrigleyville. Decent crowd (ie not douchey or fratty ), decent selection of beers on tap for a decent price and a jukebox with good alt/ indie rock tunes .

Nick Sudduth

One of my favorite bars in Chicago if not my favorite. Dope beer selection , good crowd, and they have a straight up punk juke box . Menzingers, against me!, and descendants plus more.

Fantastic spot. Drink here before the Metro.

Amy Graff

One of the only acceptable bars in Wrigleyville . Say 'hi' to Brendan on Mondays, get sloppy on whiskey . Reliable Tamale Man spotting place after Metro shows .

Tana Babcock

Neat bar amongst the sports options on Clark. Check out the shows & live music !

Kevin Farris

Sure, lots of piercings and full sleeve tats but a very solid beer list & free pool on Sun., Mon. & Tues. Shot glasses are kept in the freezer - nice touch. Bring cash - no credit cards accepted.

Juan Bermudez

There are NO pool tables anymore. Bands and comedy have replaced it. Check out the lineup, small acts and well known musicians alike.

Bobby Kennedy

Best place in wrigleyville. New owners have put in a music stage in the back room for live performances .

Michael Dorsey

Lively spot for a drink. Windows open for easy people watching on Clark. Cubs fans welcome!

Kathryn H

Say what you'd like, but it's the best bar in Wrigleyville and a good bar in general.

SecretNote -Benjamin

If your strapped for cah go with the $3 PBRs or I'd go for the Rogue draft if you have some cash to burn. Staff is amazing. Probably the best dive bar in Chicago.

My go-to place in Wrigleyville. Great service and prices, even after a game.

Dane Deasy

Funny free comedy nights on Monday. It was a blast!

Clare

great service, decent beer selection .

Jacques Troussard

Nice place to hide from the impending apocalypse up the street.

Juan Bermudez

Don't tell the bartender how to do their job. They don't come to your job and slap the dick out of your mouth.

i have found that this is the place to go before/after a show at metro. the band usually stops by too.

Martina Sykes

Free pool Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday!

Bob DeGraff

Good cider selection .

Kyle Gillespie

The first bar with Young's Chocolate Stout in Chicago I've come across

Mike H

Great place for a beer before the Cubs game.

Redeye Chicago

Refreshingly unpretentious, this beat-up bar is the perfect place to escape from—or mentally prepare for—the insanity of Wrigleyville with a game of a pool. Read more

Bryan Brown

Good spot to go before a show at the metro

Tornaparts !

This place fucking rules. They've ONLY thrown me out once...ONCE! PBR and punk rock . Toby owns this place or some shit and Teenage Bottlerocket fucking kills. Yeah, they're on Fat Wreck now..

Nikki Nefarious

Cash bar with a pinball machine . Ftw!

Joseph Gizzi

$2 PBR before Metro shows is clutch!

Brittany Nicole

Cool dive bar .

Nick M.

The female bartender with tattoos knows nothing about liquor . Tells you to fuck yourself if you ask her to do her job.

Manbque

Best bar in Wrigleyville

Don't put on Astro-Zombies by the Misfits. It's overplayed.
