Our Top Pick
Output Lounge & Sports Bar - Wrigleyville
Sauce-driven wings program built for big orders and variety.
Notable Picks
A wings-first Wrigleyville sports bar where the move is ordering traditional wings in multiple sauces and treating everything else as support. The wings land best when you mix a dry rub like lemon pepper with a sticky sauce for contrast, then keep the table tight with one side and plenty of napkins.
Must-Try Dishes:
Traditional Wings (multiple sauces), Lemon Pepper Wings, Sweet & Spicy Wings
What makes it special: Sauce-driven wings program built for big orders and variety.
A big, sports-bar-style Italian spot that’s built around tavern-cut pizza with a loyal local following. The best play is to keep it simple—one classic pie plus one side—so the kitchen stays in its most repeatable lane.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tavern-style thin crust (square-cut), Buffalo wings, Sausage pizza
What makes it special: Tavern-cut pizza in a high-TV, neighborhood tavern setting.
8.3
A Southport corridor standby with jumbo wings that eat like a main, not a snack—ideal when you want real wing volume with bar energy. Order one or two flavors, add one basket side, and stop before the menu turns into a buffet.
Must-Try Dishes:
Jumbo Wings, Buffalo Wings, Garlic Parmesan Wings
What makes it special: Jumbo wings with real heft and strong sauce coverage.
8.2
A Wrigleyville BBQ room that’s best when you order for range instead of piling onto one heavy item. The move is a platter strategy—brisket plus ribs—so you get the best signal from the pit without overcommitting to sides.
Must-Try Dishes:
Taste of the Daddy, Baby Back Ribs, Mac Daddy
What makes it special: A high-traffic BBQ spot that rewards ordering a brisket-and-ribs spread.
8.0
A neighborhood public house with a surprisingly dialed wing lineup, especially if you treat sauces like the main decision. Go classic (hot or mild) or lean into Nashville/hot honey, then keep the rest of the order minimal so the wings stay the headline.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Wings (Hot Honey), Chicken Wings (Lemon Pepper), Chicken Wings (Garlic Parmesan)
What makes it special: House-made sauces with a wide wing flavor range.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A low-key Wrigleyville bar where the wings are the only reason to overthink the menu. Order wings in one flavor (or split two for a bigger group), keep expectations in the classic bar-food lane, and treat it as a pre- or post-game move.
Must-Try Dishes:
10 Wings (Hot), 20 Wings (Medium), Wings (Tang-Z-Q)
What makes it special: Straight-to-the-point wings focus in a classic bar setting.
#7
Mordecai
7.6
A New American bar and dining room that leans into polished mains and a strong burger-and-cocktails lane. It works best as a sit-down meal on quieter nights—one main plus one shareable starter—so timing and execution stay tight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mordecai Burger, Fried Half-Chicken, Eggplant Parmesan
What makes it special: A cocktail-forward New American room where the burger is the anchor.
