Came in for Pickle fest!! I knew it would be packed but we got our drinks from the bar in the back area. It was packed but not as much. There was a live band that was playing 90s- 00s songs. The drinks were so good. We would definitely be back again.

If you have ever come to watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field, you have to at least once, come across the street to Cubby Bear right after. It's a huge bar with a pretty big dance floor. We took a co-worker here after the game. With him being from out of town, we wanted him to experience all the fun and festivities that Wrigleyville offers after a Cubs game. I had not been to Cubby Bear in a long time and I forgot just how fun it was to be here. The music is loud and the people are loud and everyone is having fun and dancing and drinking. My crew and I stood by the bar and had some shots and drinks, swayed to the music and people watched. Service at the bar was surprisingly quick despite the crowd. After a while we moved to a section that just had tables and chairs and tvs, which was in a different section away from the dance floor. Here you could order typical bar food and hear yourself talk. We opted to not order food during our visit and just got another round of drinks instead. Those tots and fries were calling my name but I was outvoted as the crew wanted to hop to another bar. Cubby Bear is a great place to people watch. Lots of tipsy baseball fans all over. You have to come experience it at least once!

An iconic Chicago Sports Bar located across from Wrigley Field . We went on a Sunday afternoon to watch our granddaughter perform with the School of Rock Glenbrook along with two other School of Rock show teams. Plenty of seating available and the sound is fantastic but it can get loud at times. Typical bar food and drink are available by scanning their QR code.Parking is a challenge in the area. Established in 1953,the Cubby Bear is a must stop when in Wrigleyville.

The world famous Cubby Bear. It's a bigger-than-it-looks bar, caddy corner from the Wrigley Field marqee, that is the perfect place for Cubs fans to gather before, after and even during a baseball game. It's also the perfect place to gather during an off day or the offseason. The staff said the bar books djs and cover bands for late night and weekend entertainment. This is a high volume place. There's a nice beer selection, which includes local options. There's also a good selection of spirits if you're wanting to ride in the fast lane. It's fun - sometimes too much fun.

It's iconic. Legendary. One of the Sports Bars. You can't visit Wrigley Field without a pregame at Cubby Bear. We stood at the bar just inside the main entrance. It was busy on a Cards Cubs game day, but plenty of space and we were able to order quickly. The beers were reasonably priced and it was a great fun vibe. Bonus points to the bathroom attendant...I've never seen one so well stocked!
