Red Ivy restaurant/bar

Description

This bar-restaurant features a tasty pizza well known for its 40-some year history in the south suburbs, it's all about the North Side Cubbies here. From the name (a nod to the fall color change of the ivy at Wrigley Field) and Cubs scoreboard replica, to baseball game showings on nine flatscreens and several 120-inch projection screens, it's root, root, root for the home team. Seven satellites on deck make this sports fan's nirvana. Guys take note: There are even TVs in the men's room.

The massive 6,000 square-foot space boasts a separate dining room sans TVs so you can enjoy food from the family-owned Palermo's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria , including the delicious sweet sauce deep-dish pan, thin crust and stuffed pizza, plus pastas and standard pub fare. There's also a 50-foot curved mahogany bar for downing a drink or two.
