There's a bajillion awesome bars if people are willing to walk a few blocks or take 1 or 2 L stops. I'm just saying that most people find the Wrigleyville thing real old real fast. But he's visiting Wrigley...
What bar was that? I always liked going to Sheffields, but haven't been in a real long time now. Sheffield's is still open. Knowing Mojo, he's probably talking about Barleycorn
