The Cubby Bear Chicago

Nice place to have some pre game drinks and post game drinks with live music or a dj depending on the day of the week.

Whst a great experience. Staff were superb. Mary our server and Leeroy the door man were the best.

Eric is great. He is personable, authentic, and very talented behind the bar. He makes excellent drinks and takes the time to get things right. He is also great with people, making everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. Even when it is busy, he stays calm and keeps things running smoothly. Highly recommend.

Went to see the band the Dreadsmiths who did not disappoint and should be a regular main event there. The drinks are crazy overpriced and the food is mid. But the bands are great so it's a give and take. Only reason this place gets 5 stars is because of the Dreadsmiths!

Self seating bar/restaurant. Service was just okay. Waitress was no where to be found once we got our food so we couldn't get refills of our drinks. Food came out quick and pretty big portions. Garlic fries were good! My only complaint is I ordered a grey goose and water and I definitely didn't get grey goose and tasted like some cheap house vodka instead.

I really enjoyed the live music and had a great time at first. Unfortunately, the night ended on a disappointing note. A manager ( brown hair, glasses and a mustache) became unexpectedly aggressive toward one of the performers who had simply asked a question. The venue was loud, and it seemed like a genuine misunderstanding rather than any intentional rudeness. Watching a manager get in a performer’s face was uncomfortable and made the environment feel unsafe. I chose to leave immediately afterward, and I don’t plan on returning.

Where do I start!?!? Our server, Hobbs, IMMACULATE. Protect him with everything you’ve got. He’s so incredibly kind, and honestly a national gem. I hope he’s here when I come back, because I’d ask for him 10000x over — and so should you. Give that guy a raise, and raise a pint to HOBBS!

Came in after a Cubs win, atmosphere was awesome for 4:30pm! People having fun, DJ had a good approach playing songs in short form and cycling through quickly, people were partying!
