Wrigleyville

As the home of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs baseball team, sports fans are well-represented in this enclave at the northern tip of the Lakeview community area. Wrigleyville offers revelers plenty of options for dining, drinking and entertainment on game days or not. Many neighborhood bars and pubs are predictably sports themed, but there are also numerous establishments that cater to the LGBT community, due to Wrigleyville’s proximity to Boystown.
