The Cubby Bear

The next time you’re taking in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field you need to step into The Cubby Bear for their daily specials and live music.  Live music emanates out of this establishment right next to the historic ballpark that’s home to the Cubs and has live music playing nearly every Friday and Saturday night.

The musical acts range from local bands playing original work to cover bands to the likes of George Clinton who just played the venue May 10^th to Ziggy Marley who will bring is act to 1059 W. Addison July 2^nd.

If live music isn’t your thing, then have no fear, because the Cubby Bear has a menu that will make everybody’s stomach growl and mouth salivate.

For starters you need to try their award winning bacon wings that you can drown in ranch or bleu cheese dressing if you can’t take the heat. The appetizers don’t stop with the wings as they offer mozzarella sticks, mac and cheese bites, nachos, and more.

The appetizers are enough to fill you up, but be sure to leave room for their variety of mouth watering burgers. I recommend the half- pound cheddar bacon burger with the Cubby Bear garlic fries. In addition to the variety of burgers, this Cubs fan hangout features, sausages, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, bbq pork, Italian beef, and the best smoked brisket you’ll find in Illinois.

Whether you’re stopping in before, after, or during the Cubs game, scheduling a private party, or just want to see some of the best live music in the city, then the Cubby Bear is the place to be. You can also check out their Lincolnshire location at 21661 N. Milwaukee for the same great food and hospitality at their Chicago location.
