Cubby Bear tickets — Chicago, IL

Discover the Beloved Cubby Bear Venue

The Cubby Bear is more than a music venue and sports bar — it's a beloved neighborhood hub that brings Chicago’s live music and game-day energy together in one iconic Wrigleyville spot. Sitting directly across from Wrigley Field on Addison Street, it’s where fans meet for unforgettable concerts, big-screen sports moments, and post-game celebrations. If you’re searching for Cubby Bear tickets, you’re in the right place for an authentic Chicago experience.

Opened in 1978, Cubby Bear has grown into a multi-level destination with professional stage lighting and sound that suits everything from indie acts to rock legends. The space blends a large dance floor and numerous bars with Chicago sports memorabilia on the walls, creating an atmosphere that’s both lively and distinctly local.

Across decades, the venue has welcomed heavy hitters like Foo Fighters, The Killers, Johnny Cash, Dave Matthews Band, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Violent Femmes, and Social Distortion. It’s a go-to for concerts, sports viewing, private events, and bar service — and a magnet for crowds after major Chicago Cubs victories, including the 2016 World Series win. Recurring live music nights and Cubs game day events keep the calendar fresh.

What sets Cubby Bear apart is its insider vantage point on Wrigleyville — some upper-level windows offer views of Wrigley Field, and the buzz from the ballpark often carries into the night. Inside, the VIP balcony and mezzanine provide great vantage points over the stage, while the main floor puts you right in the action.

Whether you’re in for a concert, a big matchup on the screens, or a private celebration, Cubby Bear delivers Chicago’s signature blend of music, sports, and community — all under one roof.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Cubby Bear offers seating for approximately 1,000 guests, with a flexible layout that shifts between general admission standing areas for concerts and tables/bar seating for sports viewing and dining. The venue features a main floor close to the stage, plus mezzanine and VIP balcony spaces that overlook the performance area.

• Main Floor (General Admission): If you want to be closest to the action, the main floor puts you right in front of the stage with room to dance. It’s ideal for high-energy shows and fans who prefer a more immersive experience.
• Mezzanine: Overlooking the stage, the mezzanine is often recommended for clear sightlines and a slightly more laid-back vantage point. It’s a smart pick if you want a balanced view without the push of the front rows.
• VIP Balcony: For some of the best perspectives in the house, the VIP balcony provides elevated views straight to the stage. It’s a favorite for fans who want great visuals and quick access to nearby bars.
• Private Party Rooms: Hosting a group or celebrating a special occasion? Private spaces offer a more controlled, social setting while keeping you close to the live music experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Cubby Bear

1059 W Addison St

Chicago, IL 60613

Located right in the heart of Wrigleyville — directly across from Wrigley Field — Cubby Bear is easy to spot and even easier to enjoy before or after a game.

• Parking: Limited street parking is available, along with several paid lots and garages nearby. On event or game days, parking can be expensive and scarce — public transit is recommended.
• Public Transit: Steps from the Addison Red Line CTA station, with several bus routes serving the neighborhood.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available on Addison St and nearby streets, especially on event days.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. On Chicago Cubs home game days and for major concerts, Wrigleyville gets crowded quickly — arriving early helps you clear lines, settle in, and explore the venue’s multiple bars before the show starts.

Cubby Bear is an indoor venue, so weather is typically not a factor once you’re inside, but it can impact traffic and transit reliability. If there’s a big Cubs game at Wrigley Field the same day, expect heavier foot traffic and street closures around Addison and Clark. Public transit is your easiest option; the Addison Red Line stop is a short walk away.

If you’re heading to the mezzanine or VIP balcony, note that access is via stairs. Allow extra time to navigate the multi-level layout and find your preferred vantage point. For drivers, compare nearby garage options in advance and consider pre-booking if available through third parties.

Venue Navigation

Cubby Bear’s layout is multi-level, anchored by a main floor with a large dance area in front of the stage, plus mezzanine and VIP balcony spaces above for elevated views. Bars are placed throughout the venue for convenient access between sets and during breaks.

You’ll find classic concessions and a full bar and grill serving burgers, wings, pizza, and more, along with local Chicago beers on tap and game day specials. Restrooms and ATMs are available on site, and merchandise — including venue and Cubs-themed items — is often sold during events. Because there are stairs to upper levels, comfortable footwear is a good idea if you plan to move between floors.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bags may be searched; large backpacks are discouraged. No official clear bag policy is listed.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food or drink, illegal substances, and large bags.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Use the CTA Red Line to avoid event-day parking challenges.
• Expect heavier crowds and street congestion during Cubs games — build in extra time to arrive at your show.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by syncing your plans with the Cubby Bear schedule. If your show lines up with a Chicago Cubs home game, arrive early to enjoy the neighborhood buzz — the atmosphere in Wrigleyville before and after games is electric, and it flows right into the venue. Some upper-level windows offer views of Wrigley Field, adding a uniquely Chicago backdrop to your pre-show hang.

Traveling with friends or coordinating a group? Set an easy-to-find meetup spot inside, like one of the main-level bars, before the lights go down. If you’re eyeing the mezzanine or VIP balcony, head up a bit early — these vantage points are popular for their clear views of the stage during high-demand Cubby Bear events.

Finally, check the Cubby Bear schedule a few days ahead. With recurring live music nights, special events, and the ebb and flow of game-day crowds, a quick look at the calendar helps you pick the perfect arrival time and plan dinner or drinks nearby.

Accessibility

Cubby Bear is ADA-accessible, with the main floor accessible and accessible seating available upon request. Nearby public lots may offer ADA parking spaces, though availability can be limited on event and game days.

Because the venue is multi-level, guests who prefer to avoid stairs may want to plan for main-floor viewing. For help selecting accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before you buy.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find a full-service bar and grill with classic American fare — think burgers, wings, pizza, and more — plus local Chicago beers on tap and game day specials. It’s easy to grab a bite before the headliner or enjoy a round with friends between sets.
