Best sports bar to watch the Cubs pennant chase since you can’t get tickets for wrigley
Audience Choice, Lakeview, Sports & Recreation Add commentsMurphy’s Bleachers
The famed watering hole at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland—behind Wrigley Field, essentially—is a bit clichéd and overrated, but, let’s face it, so are the Cubs. What makes Murphy’s the Cub bar is not only location, however, it’s the legend of Jim Murphy, who bought the bar in 1980 and ran it like a baseball fan, not like a businessman. Plus, you take one look outside the window, and you got a shot of Wrigley’s bleachers. For being in a tavern, you can’t beat that.
