Formerly a working-class neighborhood, Wrigleyville is the neighborhood directly surrounding Wrigley Field along North Clark and West Addison streets. Actual boundaries are undefined, with some sources citing Wrigleyville as spilling into adjacent enclaves such as Lakeview East and North Halsted. Wrigleyville features low-rise brick buildings and houses, some with rooftop bleachers colloquially called Wrigley Rooftops where people can purchase seats to watch baseball games without having to pay Major League Baseball ticket prices. Proprietors are able to do so under special agreements with the Chicago Cubs organization.

While the bars and restaurants in Lakeview East (especially along North Halsted Street) usually feature gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender culture, Wrigleyville bars and restaurants (particularly on North Clark Street) feature the sports culture with sports-oriented themes, and some mix the LBGT and sports themes. Sluggers, Hi-Tops (closed in 2006), Cubby Bear and Barleycorn bars host the Cubs crowds near the Wrigley Field intersection of North Clark Street and West Addison Street. Las Ma?anitas, a gay Mexican restaurant, is located on North Halsted Street just two blocks away from the stadium. This area has been a staging ground for a number of Hollywood movies. In addition, the area's Irish American roots are evident with Irish pub themes. While the specialty drink in trendy Lakeview East bars might be a custom-made cocktail, beer by the pitcher is much more heavily advertised in Wrigleyville establishments.

Condos and lofts, as well as some multi unit apartment buildings, are the standard housing fare here.
