3. The Cubby Bear

The Cubby Bear

It’s not all cheap beer and baseball games. The famous Cubby Bear just across the street from Wrigley Field is usually a sports mecca, and it’s likely even to grow in popularity due to the Chicago Cubs’ recent success. But every Sunday night for just $10, they offer DJs spinning salsa music, live bands, and even lessons at 7:30 PM. Expand your horizons without ever leaving the comfort of your favorite Wrigleyville bar.
