Great bands!
Nice location.
Nice location.
Went to Cubby Bear right after a day game for dinner and the place was electric. Grabbed a table upstairs, ordered the double smash burger with seasoned fries, and had a few cold Old Styles. Burger was greasy in the best way possible and hit the spot after being in the sun. Even with the massive crowd, the server was on top of things and brought our food out fast. Truly an iconic Wrigleyville experience.
Great Food and a Fun Chicago Atmosphere
The Cubby Bear Chicago is a fun place to grab some food and soak up the atmosphere. We stopped in and had the Italian beef with tater tots, and both were really good.
The Italian beef was flavorful and satisfying, while the tater tots made for a great side. The casual sports-bar atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal while taking in the energy of Chicago.

The Cubby Bear Chicago is an iconic sports bar located across from Wrigley Field, offering a nice atmosphere with live music and a good-sized stage for bands. Established in 1953, it's a must-stop spot in Wrigleyville, popular with the younger crowd and reminiscent of college hangouts. The lighting inside is dim, and the place can get very busy, with many people standing due to the limited number of tables. The staff is known to be very nice and some are super knowledgeable and attentive, helping guests pick great beers or menu selections like the Chicago dog and Cubby lager. The food has received praise, especially the Chicago dog, which many find to be perfect. The sound is fantastic, though it can get loud at times. Typical bar food and drinks are available by scanning their QR code. The Cubby Bear is a great place for pre-game energy or post-game celebration, and it gets crowded during events or ballgames, with parking remaining a challenge in the busy area. With its fast service, solid bar food, and unbeatable location, it is a must-visit on game day.
