Getting into Wrigley Field is out of the question. Watching from a rooftop? Not an option. And you’ve heard about the bars charging $100 just to get in the door. What’s a Chicago Cubs fan to do? Well, we’ve found a few Wrigleyville bars that aren’t charging a cover during the World Series.
They’re all within about a quarter mile from the stadium, so you’ll be right in (near) the center of the action. Just be sure to allow plenty of time to get there, and know that there WILL be lines. Be patient, have fun, and GO CUBS!!!
Note: I have only included bars that I could confirm are not charging a cover, by phone call, message, or listings on their website or Facebook page.
