I live 5 minutes away but don't know of any really close to Wrigley. I know the old Lucky Strike on Lincoln is or was Sox-friendly, but that's not exactly in the 'hood.

 

Anyone know of one? Granted, we'll all be at the surrounding bars regardless but the boss is thinking of coming into the hood to watch from a bar and I couldn't tell him which one.

this is so weird. i was thinking about posting this topic today. i am moving to wrigleyville in july and would like to know of some good places to catc a sox game.

I usually use the bar in my apartment. Not filled with Cubs fans and reasonably priced.

 

I can hear the Cubs fans hearts break every time they lose.

The last time I was at Holiday Club, a worker there told me that the whole staff is Sox fans. That said, it's not a bar especially geared for sports viewing. As a result though, it might be one of the less annoying bars around there for sox fans.

There really isnt one, but there will be plenty of Sox fans in those bars, I'll be there. Those bars arent really die-hard cubs places, they just feast on the wallets of tourists by hanging up flags.

Today's Southtown has an article about a Sox bar at Lincoln and Belden called Halligan's. It's a true Sox bar, owned by a Fireman with southside roots. The link isn't working so I can't post the article itself. The bartenders are mostly Firefighter's daughters who grew up in Beverly, Mount Greenwood, and Bridgeport and the owner bans the token Cub fan waitress from wearing any Cubs gear. So this must be the place.

 

I've emailed the Southtown to tell them the link is broken. Search under Halligan's and maybe the link will be fixed.

Here's the link to the story. It's working now.

I use to go there when I was in Law school since a few friends lived by it. I haven't been there in a year or two, but they use to have extremely hot waitresses and bartenders

Yeah, that's a great bar! And there are always attractive waitresses, bartenders, and patrons. It's right across the street from John Barleycorn's.

 

And on a beautiful day like today, I imagine they'll have the windows wide open.

 

Should be fun...

It shoudl be packed too, its right in the middle of Depaul territory.

 

If anyone is going to the west loop or loop area, I will prob be at dugans right in greektown
