Wrigley Rooftops

Just want all of you to know that this is no longer a family business as of 2015 it is owned by the Rickets (The Cubs) and is part of the Wrigley Rooftops group. The 3639 of 2014 and before is no more, for those of you that got to witness it before it was taken over you are very lucky, it is now a bare bones franchise style establishment. All charm, uniqueness, customer service, and any extras have been removed.

This WAS the absolute best rooftop to go to, but since it has been purchased by the Rickett’s it has gone down hill. It has been broken down to the bare minimum compared to the prior years. The service which has continued to be excellent! was however cut down to the least amount of workers needed. The employees are NOT the problem here. They are great.
Last year you would walk into the bar area and it was like walking into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. There was all kinds of food. There was three different kinds of pizza, salads, all kinds of chips, sandwiches and that was just to start. There was grilled food and girls walking around with exceptional trays of hot beef sandwiches and popcorn. Now there is none of this extra food. They cut down the menu and it is only served on one floor not on two floors like prior years. Last year you got the grilled meats to order on the third floor now you don’t. They have changed their beef sandwich bread to brat type buns that don’t hold the beef and are an embarrassment to Chicago, the home town of hot beef sandwiches. They need to bring back the Italian style bread.
It is still all you can eat and drink but once Rickett’s own all the rooftops there will be no reason to impress people with the little extras that make a BIG difference. Maybe this is the reason manager Steve left. I’ts hard to watch the BEST rooftop be brought down to just average for not such an average price!!!

SPECTACULAR!
This is the absolute best place in the entire city to view the Cubs!
There are multiple levels to this location — with stairs & an elevator, so it is wheelchair accessible.
There is a bar on each level & a HUGE grill on the back side with wonderful chefs who will cook you anything you want — everything is easy to get to and quick service. All inclusive tickets are so worth it!
Even though you are across the street, this location truly makes you feel like you are right in the stadium — an indoor level, a level above that open to the outdoors with bleacher seats (covered for rain) & regular chair stadium style baseball seats up on the roof! There are clean mens/​womens bathrooms on all levels.
Plus the manager, Steve, is AMAZING! He goes above & beyond to help you and your guests enjoy your event and have a great experience! No joke, helps you to plan, coordinate & execute any size event. He plays host for you so you can spend time with your guests, he constantly checks on you to make sure everything is going smoothly, he even assists in hooking you up with parking down the street. He is one of the BEST people to help you handle & enjoy an event at The Wrigley Rooftop!

CALLING ALL CUBS FANS! THIS IS THE BEST ROOFTOP IN WRIGLEY! I have never been more impressed with a business than I was when I have the privilege of being part of the 3639 Wrigley Rooftop experience. I went to a different Wrigley rooftop last year, and it was nowhere near as great as 3639 Wrigley. The house itself is decorated with all of your favorite Chicago teams. There are television sets installed everywhere in the house… even the bathrooms! You won’t miss a single play! The view is absolutely gorgeous. I loved sitting in their official bleacher style seats. They serve all of your favorite drinks. I was so happy to see that they serve Angry Orchard. And the food? IT’S TO DIE FOR! They have the best burgers in town. The pulled pork sandwiches are also amazing. They have trays of snacks on every single floor, and a well-​stocked ice cream cooler. The management was so friendly, and all of the staff members had a smile on their face and were extremely courteous. I was so grateful to spend my birthday at this rooftop. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much, 3939 Wrigley, for such a fabulous experience. YOU GUYS ARE OUTSTANDING! Keep up the great work.

This was my first experience to both a Cubs game and a rooftop to boot. All I can say is that it is an excellent experience all around! There is rooftop seating, stadium style (for those who want to pick up a few rays and take in the sweeping views) and also another level just below, also stadium seating — but in the shade! Every floor has multiple bars, many rooms, plenty of seating with couches, tables & chairs etc. If you have a group you could establish yourself in various nooks. TV’s everywhere! Even in the floors! It was great, we were able to watch the World Cup series and the Cubs game simultaneously. Great menu on the back patio, freshly grilled burgers, chicken, veggie burgers etc. See photo! Steve Alexander is an incredible Director of Operations. He took great care of us! I am definitely recommending this rooftop to my friends. Excellent place to take work people for perks or a stress free place to watch the game. Oh and did I mention open bar with no waiting? 5 stars.

I’d rather watch the Cubs on television in one of the Wrigleyville bars…
I was here for a business outing/​meeting/​get together. Whereas 3639 is nicely updated inside, they do a terrific job serving food and drinks, they provide a venue that allows it easy to socialize, it’s easy to get your food and drink, there’s clean convenient bathrooms easily accessible (especially compared to the waiting lines in Wrigley Field) however, the 3639 rooftop arguably doesn’t offer a very good view of the actual baseball game going on (the game field is pretty far away!). Isn’t that the reason for going? To watch the game?
So I’m not sure why people buy all the HYPE! The only thing good about 3639, and all the rooftops for that matter, is they get you down there «NEAR» to where all the action surrounding the ballpark. However, since you’re only «near» the game, and you can’t «really» watch the game live except on their TV monitors (think about this people, the rooftop seats are across the street from the «farthest» seats in the park, you can barely see the game from the farthest seats in the park (only the backs of the outfield players when sitting in the bleachers, and additionally, there’s no chance to catch a home run ball!) let alone watching the game from across the street… So, why not just meet at a bar in the neighborhood and watch the game on their TV’s? It’ll save you some money… Or just buy a ticket for inside the ballpark and sit in the back of the bleachers, you’ll get a better view!
Moreover, as far as the controversy surrounding the rooftop owners and the owners of Wrigley Field, it’s hard to imagine a judicial system that would allow the owners of rooftops to block the progress of updating Wrigley Field with megatrons like every other MLB ballpark in the country owns… Sarcastically, I think they should tear down all the buildings between Wrigley Field and Lake Michigan (including 3639) so paid fans in the ballpark can get a better view of the lake (the view is blocked by the right field rooftop owners)…
Rooftop owners are like vultures praying off the carcass of the cubs, I’ll never intentionally come back here. Arguably, they’ve got nothing more to offer than a good Wrigelyville bar (or seats in the ballpark). Hence two stars!

This was my third time at 3639. I love it! The staff really has everything together from checking in to serving. The check in was so easy and friendly. The food was so plentiful and good. I filled up early on salad and beef sandwich… they also have fruit and full grill on the upper deck cooking up burgers, dogs, brats. and then they come through with finger deserts at the end of the night. The bathrooms are very clean and there is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. We went on a pretty chilly night and they actually have outdoor seating with heat lamps. There is not a bad seat in the hours. You won’t leave hungry or thirsty. We will definitely come here again and again.

This is truly a first class experience, and unique in the world of sport spectating. Highly recommended, the staff is very friendly, the facility is akin to a true luxury box experience, and the view of the game is very good. The cubs may stink but 3639 is worth your afternoon or evening every time.

Went yesterday with a friend and had a blast! We will be coming here often this season! The view was amazing. The space was huge. The staff were incredibly fun and friendly! There is absolutely nothing bad I could say about this place even if I tried! I’ve heard some people complain about the price, but I thought even that was reasonable. So excited to have found such a fun atmosphere to watch this games this year!

this rooftop is by far the best roof top in Wrigley! for the ticket price you get all you can drink beer and wine, and an unlimited selection of food! there’s 3 floors stocked with all your favorites. the main floor has the ice cream cooler, fyi. get it fast or the good ice cream will be gone by the 8^th inning when people realize they can’t get any more booze. servers will walk around with snacks as well so if burgers and hot dog isn’t your thing, find one of them. they will have snacks like pulled pork and salads. yum!
they have flat screens throughout so with acclimate weather you can stay indoors and still have a view of the game. although the view from their roof top bleachers is much better.
the facilities are clean, and modern. and staff is very friendly.

Came here for a work event while on a Midwest tour, and have come away completely amazed.
Wrigley has a rich history, but it is not a very comfortable place to enjoy a top-​flight baseball experience, especially if you’re in a large group. 3639 takes the best from the plans of luxury box setups and couples them with fantastic seating and a brilliant view, and wraps it in all-​inclusive customer service (including being able to handle guests’ luggage if we were so unwise to show up with it).
The food was exceptional and non-​stop, and the drinks available every time you turned around. If you’re going early in the season, you’ll appreciate the downstairs sections, but the rooftop bleachers are where you want to be.
I look forward to coming back here, and strongly suggest you give it a try too.

fun fun fun!!! great brats, love the nachos, and beer beer beer! :)
We had a great view of the field but seriously… no one watched the game. Love that they have 2 bars, although the food was only on the first floor. Can’t wait to come back here!

I attended a wedding reception at 3639 Wrigley Rooftop as a vendor (wedding photographer) and was treated to the same genuine courtesy as every guest. I was especially impressed with Steve Alexander, the Director or Operations, and his commitment to customer satisfaction. Steve could be seen throughout the evening running up and down bleachers visiting with guests as if they were his own family and friends to ensure their happiness. The entire staff went above and beyond to create the highest level of cleanliness, customer satisfaction and class. I have captured over 450 weddings and honestly can’t remember the last time I had so much fun photographing a reception. I can’t wait to return and will continue to highly recommend 3639 to friends and family!

In my opinion, this is the best rooftop there is! The food selection is awesome, the folks there were really nice and helpful and they also have a great vegetarian selection… veggie dogs and burgers, lots of fruit, cheese and veggie, awesome desserts! But I’m not a vegetarian, so I ate a lot of meat. Burgers and hot dogs and Italian Beef and Pizza and salad and ice cream and so much stuff!
They had a great deal on Groupon that I took advantage of, but it was absolutely worth full price! The food was good, the people were unbelievable nice, the view was great, the game was fun and I encourage anyone seeking the rooftop experience to come here!

Got a sweet deal here from Groupon. We arrived around the time they open, a lot of tables and TV’s inside and a bleacher on the second to top level with a prime view of the field. The food was pretty good and the staff was great!
I definitely recommend trying the rooftops around Wrigley, the view is better and you get unlimited food and drinks, you end up paying so much when you go to wrigley for mediocre food.
Honestly, i could care less about baseball but it was a lot of fun experiencing the rooftops and i actually watched (and followed) the game!
Im a poor college student so i’d only buy a groupon for rooftops.

Love this ballpark!

This was my first rooftop game experience and will be the only rooftop I return to! The staff was the friendliest and the food was excellent. The charbroiled chicken sandwich was great. Food and snacks everywhere you turn. Not to mention an excellent drink selection. And if you eat gluten free, this is the rooftop for you because they’ve got gluten free buns and beer. Definite five stars. Oh and the view of the game was PRIME. Worth the money. Don’t choose any other rooftop!

Great Experience! So many food and drink options. I thought they would only serve cheap beer and would have finger foods, but they thought of everything. They had a grill on the top floor, snacks all around, pizza, fruit, veggie trays. It was great.
In addition to the cool the space, the customer service was out of this world. All employees had a smile, were pleasant, and really made you feel welcome. Deborah Mercadante in particular went above and beyond.
I would definitely come again.

On our annual trip to see the Cubs, we decided to change it up a bit and see the game from a rooftop. Color me impressed!
My 10-​year old son was enamored with the Pre-​game snacks which included multiple types of pizza from Bacci. They also had fresh fruit, chips, Greek salad and a variety of BBQ sandwiches.
3639 offered various beers including Bud, Miller, Shock Top, Brooklyn Ale, Fat Tire and others. They also offered various white and red wines although I’m kind of a wine snob so I didn’t try any of the wines since I didn’t see an Amarone.
Dessert consisted of many Nestlé, Skinny Cow and Haagen-​Das ice cream products. Late in the game cookies and brownies were served.
The building itself is well appointed with multiple floors of tables, couches and stadium seating.
I did my research before choosing 3639. My fellow Unilocalers steered me to 3639 and I am glad they did! The other nearby rooftops looked extremely crowded and not nearly as nice.
Go Cubs!

GREAT SEATS outside of Wrigley Field (if you actually watch the ball game). This was my second rooftop experience, the other being a sister location (3609), and it lived up to the expectations. This location seemed to just a little bit better.
Company outing was the event this time around. They accommodated roughly 100 for our group plus the public. Upon arrival they had chex mix type deal for snacks along with fruit and side salads. Pizza, chips, and a handful other munchies were everywhere. As for the entrees it was basically anything they could throw on the grill. Burgers, brats, etc. etc. Hot of the grill = can’t go wrong.
Beers were flowing the Sox’s runs (cross town classic 10 – 5, Sox victiory). Plenty of TVs throughout the building including one in the bathroom. Even if you weren’t paying attention to the game you were still watching it with a beer in hand.
Though I am not sure of the all-​inclusive price I would come to expect around a couple hundred easy. The seats have a sweet view. Going with a decent group or with a couple buddies, knowing everything is paid for (except tips), turns out to be a great time.
