around the stadium itself; probably most famous (and expensive) is the Cubby Bear, across the street.

Absolutely, yes. WGN used to have over 140 Cubs games per year back in the 1980’s. Now, they have about 70 games per year.

there is Bob Dobbs and O’Malley’s. Both bars are owned by the same brothers and one of them went to University of Illinois. They show all teams but you know it’s a Chicago bar when you walk in and they’re great places to watch the Bears too.

Future Mrs. Fuk-U-Meter’s parents have a place in St. Joes on the East coast of Lake Michigan. There is a sports bar with great burgers called “Getaway” with tons of Cubs memorabilia on the walls and even famous Cubs painted on the mens’ room walls. Only about 2 hours from Chicago.

...Years ago, many years ago, I used to watch Cubs games at Dudley’s Draw. It was right next to the Dixie Chicken. I have no idea whether they are still around. I loved the remotes for the TVs, just stand on a chair reach up and turn the channel yourself.

i’ll find a cubs bar here in vegas and report back!

They have a replica of the Wrigley Field scoreboard for the wall mounted menu and the owner makes all the staff wear Cubs paraphernalia. Plus, they have authentic Chicago style hot dogs, and from what I’ve been told, Italian beef as good as you’d get from Portillo’s.

I haven’t been to this place, but there was a story during the playoffs last year about a Cubs fan watching the game. He lives in Shanghai and runs a pizza business, I think.
