Headed to Chicago this week. Recs

If you sat in bleacher seats how early did you get there to get a good seat? Know its GA

---

Gates open two hours prior to the game. Most of the bleachers seats are fine for viewing the game. Friday and Saturday will be pretty enjoyable with the temperature, especially for April.

Also other than Wrigleyville area what are some other good bars to hit after a day game? Someone mentioned "old town"

---

If you're looking for a street that has an abundance of bars outside of Wrigleyville, I would recommend four areas:
- Bars in Old Town, many of which line Wells.
- Bars in Gold Coast that line Division (east of the interstate).
- Bars on the border of Wicker that line Division (west of the interstate).
- Bars on/around Milwaukee lining six corners down to Division.

where do you live in Chicago? I am actually moving there 5/1... just signed a lease for a house in Lincoln Park.

Currently live in Old Town, but moving over near River West on 06/01.

You're moving down at a good time. Summer in Chicago is a lot of fun. Cubs/White Sox, Lake Michigan, patio and rooftop bars, festival every weekend (or so it seems).

i gotta get back to Chicago. Wife and i spent a week there last summer and had a blast.


Unreal food and bar scene. Didnt have one bad meal or local beer the whole week. Good thing we walked 20,000 steps a day, lol.
