I'm two blocks from wrigley and wan't to know of the best bar(s) in the area. I am checking out West Lakeview Liquors later today and probably goose island too. Thanks.
umm thats kinda it. Check out the other Pearl Jam drinking forums for ideas that are a little on the edge of wrigleyville. Northdown is probably the best that is closest.
Sweet Baby Rays is worth a shot for good BBQ and good beer. http://www.sbrbbq.com/wrigleyville/pages/menu/draft-beer.asp They occupy the old Uberstien space across from Sluggers. They have a decent beer garden in front. Added bonus, killer whiskey list.
Have yet to try this place but I've heard from friends that it's good. I will be in the area today before Phish but plan on going to Lucky's sandwiches a few doors down for my preshow meal. Maybe the smell of BBQ from down the street can change my mind.
