Fun Dive in...Wrigleyville?
Monday, May 22, 2006
This bar is one of the coolest bars in Wrigleyville, precisely because the typical bar here is cool in a trendy/tourist/frat/sorority kind of way, and on the contrary, the Gingerman has none of the typical Wrigleyville pretension and ignorance. Drinks are more reasonably priced (though I didn't say cheap - not quite that low), the staff has a good attitude, and other patrons seem to have a good sense of humor towards each other. You can always find a spot here, but it gets most crowded as shows from the Metro next door empty out into here. The people here keep it real, and there is free pool on Sundays and Mondays. But be warned, the bar is cash only so bring some along or pay the $2.00 to use their atm in the back.
