As much as Chicagoans fawn over the warm weather after months of harsh winter, there’s no denying peak summer days can be a little too much. On such occasions, there’s no better place to be than up high on a breezy rooftop lounge, sipping on an ice cold drink and taking in the view. As the northside’s hub for bar crawls, game days, and all-around good fun, Wrigleyville should be at the top of your summer bucket list. There’s no shortage of amazing bars and restaurants, and today we’re taking a look at the Wrigleyville rooftops you won’t wanna miss.

There’s something for everyone at Happy Camper Pizza, and we mean everyone. Between their 18 kinds of pizza, “happytizers,” cocktails and booze-free options, it’s a safe bet everyone will leave with full bellies and a smile on their face. A stellar choice for weekend parties or drinks after work, their loft seating can accommodate parties large and small, and makes mingling easy. Hanging disco balls, neon lights, and open-air complete the vibe. Put on your favorite outfit, dig in to some pizza, and try to say you’re not feeling happy, we dare you.

Sports Corner

952 W Addison St

Sports Corner is a Wrigleyville must-see for newcomers, and a frequent haunt for locals. Since 1976, it’s been a hub for pre and post-game festivities as well as a reliable joint for American staples. Their smash burgers are everything to write home about, especially washed down with one of their signature cocktails. The main draw though? Their homey open-air patio just a stone’s throw from our Cubbies. Cheers!

Smoke Daddy BBQ

3636 N Clark St

Since ’94 Smoke Daddy has been cooking up some of the best BBQ in town, and their Wrigleyville location is the prime spot for a pitstop on the strip. The balcony loft couldn’t be closer to Wrigley Field, and offers spectacular views of the monument. Their happy hour runs Monday to Thursday 4:00-6:00 pm with half off familiar favorites like the pulled pork sandwich and wings. Be sure to come with an appetite and bask in all the glory of a backyard BBQ, right here in Wrigley.
