3. Wrigley Field
9.1
1060 W Addison St (btwn Sheffield Ave & Clark St), Chicago, IL
Baseball Stadium · Wrigleyville · 563 tips and reviews
Chase Henley: A must for any baseball fan, visited from Texas and immediately fell in love with the ballpark. No glitz and glamour like modern ballparks, but a simple, incredible atmosphere.
HISTORY: Built in 1914, the "Friendly Confines" was host to Babe Ruth's alleged "called shot" during the 1932 World Series. Lights were added to the ballpark in 1988.
ESPN: Wrigley’s outfield shrubbery is a combo of Boston Ivy & Japanese Bittersweet. Reach in, and you might find a “Save Ferris” sticker, a pair of Harry Caray’s glasses & Andre Dawson’s Hawk feathers.

Carissa Felber: I don't remember most of what I do here.

Alison: Excellent sushi / sashimi combo orders. Uni sashimi in a cucumber is delicious !
Joe C.: Try the Wakamono Roll, I mean they named the restaurant after it...delicious.
Leeann: Don't try to pilfer the animal sculptures. Some drunken fool did, and the entire waitstaff exited to char after him. No service for a full 20 min.

Francois F: The music here is amazing on Saturdays if you like a mix of hip hop and dance with great djs! Hipster club kid crowd! Did I mention $12 champagne on Sunday?
Andy Meyer: This place totally violates capacity laws! Shitty dance floor and weak drinks... It's like a smaller, less classy minibar. Stay away!

Sports Bar · Lakeview · 39 tips and reviews
Emily Jurlina: The 16 inch grilled cheese is an awesome value! Small menu but it's all really good.
Matt: Ask for Smooki. This place is where Jersey Shore kids would go if they were from the Midwest. Disagree? Look around.
Thrillist: The downstairs (upstairs open later this summer) also sports chocolate leather booths, 7 high-tops each with its own 24-inch flat screen, plus 13 wall-mounted screens. Read more.
