Bernie’s Tavern
Picking a Cubs bar after everyone’s had nine innings of beer is either the easiest thing to do or the hardest, depending on what kind of person you are. If you’re a drunken buffoon, it’s easy, because who cares where you go, you don’t even know where you are anyway. If you dig baseball and want to have a beer afterwards to talk about the game, you need to choose the lesser of, well, several evils, and our vote’s for Bernie’s. Bernie’s has a spacious interior that doesn’t make you feel trapped in a nauseating “Old School” remake, plus the ample-sized patio helps. The price of beer, well, you’re in Wrigleyville, smart guy. Prepare to hear many orders of “Lites.”
