Insider tips

Wrigley Field, also called “The Friendly Confines,” is famous for its ivy-covered outfield walls, manual scoreboard, and lively atmosphere. It’s also home to the Chicago Cubs, famous for their 108-year journey from lovable losers to 2016 World Series Champions.

The area around the stadium is known as Wrigleyville, and it’s bursting at the seams with sports bars, souvenir stalls, and die-hard Cubs fans. Walk up and down Clark Street to stop into the area’s many bars and restaurants usually filled with locals, even when it’s not baseball season.

For a drink before or after the game, The Cubby Bear, Murphy’s Bleachers, and HVAC Pub are all long-time classics. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, Asian dishes at Cozy Noodles & Rice, tacos at Big Star Wrigleyville, or pizza at Happy Camper are just a few of the popular spots in the area.

Right outside the stadium, you’ll find the open-air Gallagher Way. It’s a popular gathering spot for neighbors, fans, and visitors all year long. A slew of events are hosted here, including farmers’ markets, an outdoor concert series, film screenings, and a holiday winter wonderland complete with an ice skating rink.
