The main bar street of Wrigleyville runs along Clark Street north of Wrigley Field, with a concentration of sports bars, Chicago taverns, and restaurants calibrated to pre- and post-game crowds. Outside baseball season the street is quieter, though the bars remain active year-round.
The contrast between Wrigleyville's Clark Street bars and the more residential-feeling Boystown and Southport sections of Lakeview represents the breadth of the neighbourhood — it encompasses both Chicago's most famous ballpark neighbourhood and its established LGBT district within about a mile's walking distance. The stretch of Clark from Belmont to Addison has every variety of Chicago bar in concentrated form.
