Wrigley Field hasn’t been christened with a new name thanks to corporate sponsorship (yet), but the shiny new sports bar replacing the Friendly Confines Cafe has. Dubbed Captain Morgan Club and operated by the Harry Caray Restaurant Group, the bar opened Friday, April 10th, with Captain Morgan himself spreading the brand-name cheer. This open-air sports bar for up to 500 will stay open year round, putting up walls for winter. Don’t expect the same menu as Harry Caray’s Tavern, though—the brief lineup here includes five sandwiches, two salads, hot dogs and nachos. Find it at the stadium’s southeast corner, near Addison and Sheffield.
Quick hit: The bar’s few specialty drinks aren’t anything to cheer about (ready to order a $7 Captain Cubby made with the namesake rum and Pepsi?), but entrances from both the field and the street allow meet-ups between game watchers and their non-ticketholding pals.
Later this month look for a second more intimate Rockit Bar in the former Tuscany on Clark location. With a huge patio to seat 80+ guests for some great people watching and catching some rays!
