We offer 3 venues all on Waveland with great views into Wrigley Field. We included all food and drinks. We offer an experience where you can get work done and have a great time.

1010 Waveland is LARGER THAN LIFE! Everything is over sized! The bleachers are huge, the food and drink service bars are huge, even the pictures on the walls are over sized! Where else can you have a private sky box big enough for 200 of your closest friends or colleagues?

1038 Waveland
A hip and modern vibe kick inside and out of 1038 West Waveland. The low club style seating, sleek shiny tall tables, and over the top artwork all immerse Cub’s fans in a club like game experience.

1048 Waveland
Nostalgia and history make 1048 Waveland. The traditional feel and historic photographs at 1048 Waveland immerse a Cub’s fan in what makes us Cubs fans different… our rich history. Speaking of rich—the club house is filled with marble, granite and wood!
