Cubby Bear

My daughter attended a game day event 5/30. She had a horrible time because she was accused of having a fake ID. Her ID is quite real and she has many other forms of ID to confirm. I don't know what the staff was trying to prove, but they didn't have a clue how to handle the situation. I talked to George Loukas, owner, on the phone. He wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. He concluded with where he'd like to put his shoe into my anatomy! I have never been treated so badly when I called a business to register a complaint! Avoid the hassle! more

Wanna have a good time?? Come here for good looking people and amazing music. more

This place is a city icon haters. Its not a 3 piece suit kinda joint bring a 50 get hammered and hit the rest of the addison strip! more

I've been to a lot of bars and scenes in Chacago, but the Cubby Bear is at the top of my ""Worst of Chicago"" list. Maybe I expected too much from this venue that's located across the street from Wrigley, however, I think my opinion is fairly unbiased... Pros: close to Wrigley Stadium Cons: Poor Managment, Mediocre Music, and Disappointing Crowd more

Thanks Cubby Bear!! I was hosting my boyfriends birthday party and I was pleasantly surprised at the Cubby Bear for numerous reasons... Pros: Great Party Menus/Rooms and staff Cons: I can't throw enough parties! more

Wow!... what can I say... what a place... I have never been so retarted after leaving a cubby game yet to roll into the Cubby Bear... must try the blue bombs... they seem innocent but they are harmful! ....not as advertised! For the Soxs fans that want to come to a REAL party strip... hop back on the Red and go to 35th and whatever... were good on minorities! Tickler strikes yet again! Pros: Great place for a wedding reception! Cons: No ejector seat to my apartment! more

The Cubby Bear is a lot of fun to go to and watch sports games. The place is very large, with more than one room and countless TVs with different games on. The food is excellent and so is the service. The only complaint I have is during times a Chicago team is playing a final game. The place was way too crowded, with people who wanted to chase the TV cameras and paid no attention to the game itself. But this happened only during the finals... every other day it is one of the best places to go watch a game, meet people and have good food. Pros: Good food, Good service, General atmosphere Cons: Sports final nights more

Chicagoan know there are only two reasons why this famously dingy, underperforming, over-priced dive does any business: 1) its location across from Wrigley Field, and 2) the word ""Cubby"" in its name. Here's a typical experience: Out-of-town guests insisted on having brunch there to watch the Chicago Bears home opener, and not only couldn't these guys pick up the game, but when a group of irate Bears fans informed the staff and manager that the game wasn't coming on, they merely shrugged their shoulders and directed people to watch the ""Browns"" game instead and enjoy their breakfast, which (surprise) was horrible (dishwatery eggs was the ""hightlight""). Our group had to leave to in order to see the game. In short, this place is bad. Unfailingly bad. Kinda like a certain team that plays across the street (but at least THOSE Cubs offer a great place to watch a game). more

what are the sheep thinking? cubby bear is nothing more than an overpriced, understaffed, ""cool spot"" where the overcrowded atmosphere is only outdone by the less than adequate number of bar tenders and wait staff. if this bar was not across the street from wrigley it would die. more

I dont know know what your definition of Sports Bar is..but the only only Sports at this place is the ballyard across the street and the knucklehead patrons who do their version of a cattle car in this too big for any atmosphere ""Iconic Bar"". Pros: Location Cons: Location, Service, Crowds more

The Manager and Bouncer are very rude and cannot tell a real ID from a fake one. I was denied entrance with multiple forms of ID b/c they thought my driver's license was fake, so then I had to get a cab back home and get my passport to prove that I was 23 years old and there was no apology and I had to miss the first part of the NCAA tournament game that I was there to watch w/my alumni club. So, if you don't mind being laughed at at the door and possibly not being allowed in with real identification, I would recommend it. more

Last year I swore I would never go there again, but after the Braves game we went and it was a blast. Much improved if you haven't been there in awhile. more
