About Us

From Cubs wins to rock concerts, The Cubby Bear has seen it all.

Located just across the street from Wrigley Field, The Cubby Bear isn't just a bar—it's a Chicago institution. What started in 1953 as a humble corner tavern has grown into one of the city's most iconic destinations for sports fans, music lovers, and party-goers alike.

Whether you're pregaming before a Cubs game, catching a live show, or planning your own private event, The Cubby Bear delivers the energy and atmosphere that defines Wrigleyville nightlife.

Over the years, our stage has hosted everyone from The Foo Fighters and Dropkick Murphys to local legends making their debut. With a reputation as one of the best live music venues in Chicago, we keep the shows coming and the crowd moving.
