pingpong 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Can any geeks give some ideas on which areas of Chicago are best to stay for a group of 6 guys in town to watch the Cubs on Saturday, and the Sox on Friday night? Someone told us the River North area was good for nightlife. What are some fun bar areas to visit to tie on a load and stumble back to the hotel? TIA.

Mungwater 588 Posted July 19, 2011 There is an embassy suites on I believe Jackson street right outside the red line, I've stayed there the last couple of times I've been to Cubs games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 1,087 Posted July 19, 2011 Swissotel on Wacker is pretty good. Was there a couple of years ago. Walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and bars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 696 Posted July 19, 2011 I've heard nothing but good things about the place called Cabrini Green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 588 Posted July 19, 2011 Forgot to say, after the sox game on Friday, get the hell out of Bridgeport. I know it's only 8 miles or so from wrigley, but that is a rough area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pingpong 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Good stuff. Keep 'em coming. As long as we find a hotel near the public transportation, we should be good. No shot staying on the South Side. Is the nightlife around Wrigley comparable to the nightlife around Fenway? Is it worth it to stay near Wrigley? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted July 19, 2011 I stayed somewhat near rush st and the Navy pier as i remember... I was across from a Weber Restaurant (which was very good BBQ btw)... Forget the brand hotel i was in, but there were a few mid range chains in the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few hotels near wrigley (within a mile or so) but that'd also why I prefer the embassy. Close to thr rail, a block or so away from Michigan ave and state street. There are bars every ten feet in wrigleyville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yostevo 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Years ago we stayed at the Lenox house suites close to rush/division. It was economical and pretty decent place at the time. Especially if it's just the doods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
