Sports Bars in Wrigleyville, Chicago, IL

Red Ivy

20s / 30s / Button-downs / Casual / DJ

Party Earth Review On a stretch of Clark Street next to Wrigley Field where almost every business is a sports bar, Red Ivy – named for the iconic ivy on the stadium’s outfield wall – fits right in, albeit with a slightly more upscale, club-like vibe bolstered by its vaulted ceiling, sultry red lighting, and weekend DJs. Comparatively mellow ... more

Party Earth Review Just steps away from a stretch of the city’s rowdiest sports bars, Rockit Burger Bar offers hearty pub grub, live music, and a slightly more laid-back vibe in an upscale, but still sports-focused, environment.

The Dugout

20s / 30s / 80s Music / 90s Music

Party Earth Review A divey sports bar located spitting distance from Wrigley Field, The Dugout is a welcoming little haunt with enough cheap specials throughout the week to make it enticing to a wide audience of budget-minded boozers.

Houndstooth Saloon

20s / Bar Food / Baseball Caps

Party Earth Review Named in homage to legendary University of Alabama coach Bear Bryant and his signature houndstooth hat, Houndstooth Saloon may be in the heart of Cubs country, but there’s no doubt it’s a pure Alabama bar and headquarters for homesick Southern transplants. A mournful basset hound on the sign now wears the checkered cap ... more

Party Earth Review With lots of glowing flat-screens beckoning to Cubs fans, daily specials luring the budget-minded, and a big seasonal beer garden perfect for open air drinking, Vines on Clark fits right into the Wrigleyville bar scene without being (entirely) about baseball.

Sports Bars in Wrigleyville Overview

Smart Bar - Club in Wrigleyville, Chicago

The question should be, “What bars in Wrigleyville are NOT sports bars?” There are plenty, FYI, but they’re clearly the minority. Wrigleyville streets, fanning out from historic Wrigley Field, seem to carry a bar blasting sports every ten feet; this neighborhood may be the world capital of sports bars.

Clark, Addison, Sheffield, and Waveland, the four streets surrounding the baseball field, are jam-packed with popular spots. Longtime favorites like The Cubby Bear and Murphy’s Bleachers share this prime real estate with newcomers like Red Ivy. They all have Cubby blue in common, and on home game days, the streets close to accommodate the fans spilling out of the open facades onto sidewalks and the road. Even in the offseason, these bars are popular places to check out the three B’s: Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks.

Away from the beating heart of the neighborhood, other sports bars in Wrigleyville tend to have a similar feel to their epicenter brethren. Old-school taverns Sheffield’s and Johnny O’Hagan’s aren’t playing at being charming watering holes; the current clientele’s grandparents probably cheered for the Cubbies at these memorabilia-lined spots.

Wrigleyville sports bars are pretty much the model for sports bars nationwide. With their beer specials, cute servers, wall-to-wall TVs, and festival atmosphere, they charm even away-team fans (as long as they respect the Lovable Losers).
