Sluggers has held 3540 N Clark Street since 1985, a long fly ball from the Wrigley Field marquee. The ground floor is a classic Chicago sports bar wall of screens, but the second floor is the reason the line forms.
Upstairs runs a full indoor sports complex, four batting cages with pitches up to 70 mph, pop a shot basketball, skee ball, air hockey and a dueling pianos room. The Infatuation files it as the Wrigleyville rite of passage it is.
No other bar in Chicago keeps batting cages, and Tripadvisor reviewers consistently call them the reason to come, priced fairly and genuinely fun three beers in. The trick is timing, on Cubs game days the wait for a cage stretches past patience.
The crowd is Cubs gear wall to wall, bachelor parties and out of towners chasing the full Wrigleyville night. Service slows when the park empties out, so order doubles before the ninth inning crowd lands.
Come on a non game weekday for cages without the wait. For the citywide picture, see our Chicago sports bars guide, the best sports bars in Chicago, and the full Chicago bar guide.
Weekday evenings without a Cubs home game give you the cages on demand and table service that keeps pace. The dueling pianos run weekend nights.
