Wrigley Field, the place the Chicago Cubs have called home for over a century, is a special place for baseball, and the surrounding area perfectly complements it. The investment put into making Wrigleyville a year-round attraction for sports, music, and plenty more events helps make the area one of the most unique venues in entertainment. Wrigley itself is over 100 years old, but it fits right into the improvements and neighborhood feel around it.
Speaking of, it’s unique that this stadium is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Generations of people and families have lived next to the Friendly Confines since the block was converted into a baseball stadium. There are plenty of homes and places to stay and live, but the area is also flooded with bars and restaurants.
Up and down Clark Street, you will find some of the most happening bars in Chicago. Whatever type of bar you’re looking for, Wrigleyville. Looking for a club/dance vibe? Easy. Need to relive your college days with some karaoke and dancing? Done. Are you not from here and missing your fix of country music? Boot Scoot Boogie your heart out. Anything you’re looking for can be found.
The Cubs have one of the largest, most loyal fanbases in sports, and it shows on a daily basis. Even if the Cubs lose, you know there’s still a fun night to be had once you exit the stadium. But it’s also nice to have if there’s a rain delay.

On Saturday, the Cubs game was delayed and did not start until after 9 p.m. local time. A couple of important people were in the house and made the rounds around Wrigley and the neighborhood. It looks like they had themselves a time.
Cubs Host Caleb Williams In What Turned Out To Be An Epic Night
The Chicago Bears rookies were guests of the Cubs on Saturday, where Caleb Williams and Rome Oduze were expected to throw out the first pitch. Unfortunately, the rain had other plans, but Williams and the rookies were still treated to a time.
After grabbing some hot dogs from a vendor on the field, Williams got to take some cuts in the batting cages underneath the stands. Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson was down there with them, probably helping Williams make his swing look a little less golf-ie. The rain tried to damper the time, but it might have made the night more fun based on what happened next.
Williams and the boys made their way down Clark Street to Old Crow, one of the largest bars in Wrigleyville. They were in the corner next to the bar, but the place knew he was there. They began the classic chant of “Green Bay Sucks.” What was Willimas supposed to do? Of course, he was going to be into it.
I will not be taking any direct shots of our friends at the corner of 35th and Shields. They have their own vibes and things going on down there that make that experience fun and unique. All I will say is that Caleb looked like he was vibing with the North Siders, and it wasn’t his first time doing so.
