Wrigley Field Rooftops DirectoryWelcome to TheCubdom.com's Wrigley Field Rooftop directory. (We are not an official site, nor related to any of the rooftop establishments.) There are 17 buildings with rooftop views, where proprietors sell tickets to see the game. A few years ago, these rooftops entered into a revenue sharing program with the Cubs, and are now considered 'official Cubs rooftop partners.' The information found on this page has come mainly from the Cubs Rooftop business's websites. Click on the rooftop building to go to the information, or scroll down the page and read about them all. (Please note that some of the information on this page is old. As of May 2008, I am working on updating the write-ups on all the Cubs Rooftops, but it's slow going and so you should check with the individual rooftops before relying on any of the information on this page.) If you have questions, please shoot me an email. I try to respond to them all, even if it takes a week or two: byron@thecubdom.com.

Tel: (773)

The following write-up was provided to my by the good folks at Wrigley Done Right. I've actually been up on this rooftop twice now, once when it was Tailorgators and once as a guest of the Wrigley Done Right owners. Both times were enjoyable, but I've got to say Wrigley Done Right is an improvement over the old Tailorgators.

Situated within the right field foul pole, straight out from the first base line, Wrigley Done Right provides a spectacular perspective and unobstructed view of legendary Wrigley Field. It is the closest Cubs Rooftop to home plate and even closer than the seats within many ballparks!

Whether you relax on the bleacher seats, socialize at the shaded picnic tables, or hang out along the front row railing, you will have an amazing, memorable view of your Chicago Cubs. Enjoy your favorite ballpark foods, grilled to perfection by our master cooks, and drink beer, wine or your other favorite beverages to your heart's content. It's all included! Plus, surround sound speakers encompass the rooftop, so you can stay on every play with Pat & Ron's always hilarious call of the game.
The Clubhouse:
Should you need a break from the sun or some summer showers, duck into our spacious air-conditioned clubhouse, fully-equipped with a huge bar, plasma tvs, radio broadcast, and that same incredible, double-wide view of your Cubbies. (Even the bathrooms are equipped with plasmas…so you truly will never miss a pitch!)
Corporate Outings and Group Events:
Wrigley Done Right is a perfect spot for a unique, memorable event. We understand the pressures that come with having to plan a corporate gathering…rest assured that we are here to eliminate your worry. Our general manager is a Chicago native and Chicago Cubs “lifer,” so he understands dedication to a team and as a Wrigley rooftop veteran, he knows what you're looking for from your time on the rooftop.
