Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

murphy’s bleacher, beer and food is much cheaper than inside. Itll be slammed 

Cubby bear sucks 

uncommon ground had damn good cheese curds and food 

I haven’t been up there in a couple of years or so, looks like many spots have changed / heavy corporate. Take the train if you can 

never been to gutherie’s, want to try it. 
 

find a bar, couple of drinks and ask them to suggest another bar / brewery. Did this my last trip and we had a good time

Thanks! I’ve got two days and I’m solo so I’ll try and hit as many things as possible.

Cubby Bear doesn’t suck and is where the Texas Exes watch games. You must have had too much Malort

I was meaning to ask about their pizza, so thanks for the Pequods rec. I’ll do that tomorrow. Thinking about getting a burger for lunch today. Stayed in Gold Coast last night and moving hotels later today to the one across from wrigley. Any burger recommendations on top of Billy goat tavern would be appreciated.

Postgame: Without a doubt Sluggers Piano Bar it's upstairs above the main Sluggers Bar next to the batting cages.  I have no idea if it's still $5 but that simple fee usually cuts out the douchy Cubs fan riffraff and also the caliber of the eye candy that makes their way into the bar is higher than you will find in the other Wrigleyville bars.

Some people like Pequods better than Lou Malnati I'm not one of those....   The LM butter crust puts it over the top IMHO but honestly you can't go wrong with either.

As far as burgers go my favorite is BiXiBeer but I also usually like that style of gourmet burger which some people don't like

Au Cheval is another big name/good one. Definitely a fancy burger especially compared to BGT

Best burger I've ever had, just be prepared for a long wait. Put your name on the list and go to a nearby bar and have a drink while you wait.

Just walk over to the third base dugout my guy. $1.75 mill. Exactly the kind of guy who should be on our bench. Former All Star. Career .270 hitter. But let’s let Singleton and Kessinger enjoy the buffets.
