Cheesies Pub & Grub

FoodWrigleyville · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3472 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60657

Cheesies calls itself Chicago's first grilled cheese restaurant, and Esquire once named it the 'Most Life Changing Grilled Cheese in America and Tokyo' — this Clark Street original near Wrigley Field pairs an all-grilled-cheese menu (the Frenchie, the Tenderizer, the Mac, the Popper, the Balboa) with a full bar, arcade games and a kitchen that runs until 3am.

$$

The Wrigleyville week has a deal for most nights, all dine-in only. Monday Meltdown makes any drink $5 all day and pairs a smashed cheesie with a domestic beer for $13. Tuesday is two-for-one appetizers all day, plus $4.20 unlimited fries. Wingy Wednesday is $1 wings all day (six-wing minimum), with game night at 6:30pm.

If you're feeling ambitious, the Mega Cheesie's Challenge is a 16-inch, eight-pound, five-layer grilled cheese and a pound of fries in 30 minutes for $75; win and you get a $100 gift card and a T-shirt. Healthcare workers, first responders, military and teachers get 20% off every day. The sister location on Belmont in Lakeview runs its own weekday happy hour.
