Lakeview FAQ

How is Lakeview different from Wrigleyville?

Wrigleyville is the area immediately around Wrigley Field with sports bars and party crowds. Greater Lakeview extends beyond that with more diverse, neighborhood-focused bars and venues.

Do you do Cubs game packages?

Absolutely! We specialize in Cubs game day transportation. Pregame bar hopping, drop-off at Wrigley, and postgame celebrations. The party bus keeps the energy going all day.

What's Smart Bar like?

It's Chicago's most respected underground dance club, operating since 1982. World-class DJs, excellent sound system, and a crowd that's there for the music. Late night dancing at its finest.

Where's good for groups in Lakeview?

Guthrie's Tavern is perfect for groups with board games and craft beer. Gingerman has space and tons of beer options. Kirkwood works for smaller groups wanting cocktails.
