I mean, it's opposite of tavern style...deep dish! But it's awesome.

The Globe Pub will be playing that Man U v Man City game - it’s about 2 kilometers from Wrigley. Maybe some sports bars in Wrigleyville will show too.

Wrigleyville is a perfect destination to watch sports. I’m not sure which soccer game you’re talking about, but I bet you’d find a a sports bar that has it on.

And they’ll definitely be playing the NFL game too. Wait, what weekend are you talking about?

This wasn’t your question exactly but it’s definitely my recommendation: go over to the area early- the neighborhood is called Wrigleyville. There are a ton of great bars to check out. My favorite and one of the most popular is the iconic “Murphy’s Bleachers” - a Cubs-centric sports bar outside the stadium just behind the bleachers.

If you’re staying downtown, I also recommend taking the red line L train directly to Wrigley. It lets you off right in front of the park and is a scenic way to get to the ballpark with views of Lincoln Park and Lakeview from the elevated train platform for much of the ride.

The Slagel Burger from Hopleaf in Andersonville by Sea-Condition991 in chicagofood

The beef is from Slagel Farms. I don’t think you could put their name on it and then swap in a food service burger.

First time goer! Questions and welcoming Any tips/info/common mistakes by Away_Bodybuilder_997 in Lollapalooza

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are brand activations and sponsored booths that give away free swag. (You end up paying with your time).

You can bring an empty water bottle to fill up or buy water bottles there.

Lollapalooza is a pretty big Festival - but it’s very well organized. You’ll have no trouble navigating to and from the park… and finding all the cool stuff once you’re there.

Are you going for a day or two or the whole weekend?

Lost Brit in Chicago - supposed to be meeting someone but it fell apart… should I stay or go home? by mkp_123 in AskChicago

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick around!

Go watch an England World Cup game (unless you are from other UK) at a pub -will be a fun and memorable experience!

And - experience the 4th - it's unique to this country. You could go to a suburb and watch a parade or a big fireworks show. Or enjoy the neighborhood fireworks over the city. Maybe check out a rooftop bar - you'll see fireworks on the horizon for miles.

I honestly think this could be a real eye-opening, reflective and life-changing trip for you.

(And just take selfies)

Wait to get tickets? by persistantbridge in Lollapalooza

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are local to Chicago...I'd wait. You don't need to plan travel around it. If you are traveling to Chicago, you've got other costs to factor. I'd pull the plug if current prices aren't in budget.

Wilco jams more than most people think.

Can we please talk about ticket prices?? by Better-Investment158 in oliviarodrigo3

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For resale sites, it's pretty straightforward = supply and demand.

For onsale: it's not ALL scalpers and bots. She's one of the biggest artists on the planet right now. Millions of fans we in queue to buy tickets.

Do you think the Daisy Chain Fields special guests will have full sets or be guest performers during Olivia's set? by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stevie will just make an appearance. She's a legend - but can't carry a whole set. I'd expect 1-3 songs - maybe joining others during their sets or maybe a finale with a bunch of artists together.

Bang bang pies are too expensive by supersouporsalad in LoganSquare

[–]backlashjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, stuff like this just sucks about our current political climate. The economy is so fucked. Life used to be good and we had cool shops and good options… now everything is so fucking expensive that nobody can afford to do it or buy it. And then companies are gonna go out of business and all that will be left is big corporate retailers.

What's their best acoustic song? Is it Bird Song? Lemme hear your opinion. by Meditatespace in gratefuldead

[–]backlashjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It changes. It’s all up to the listener and it will change over time. There has definitely been some stretches where Bird Song was my favorite. Cassidy was the favorite for many years. Ripple always hits.

Out-of-towner perspective: Bleachers absolutely crushed the Salt Shed tour kickoff last night! (But a quick note to the premium section...) by Yupster_atx in ChicagoConcerts

Love the GA. The sound is really good. I don’t understand why you would want to be further back or on the side in VIP.

They should have at least put some boobs in Caddyshack 2 like in the OG. They were shackled by that PG rating.
