3658 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613

Wrigleyville

Aug 14, 2025 — Canvass inspection

Conditional

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Broken drink cooler left off and tagged; equipment must maintain 41°F before use resumes.

Key Findings

  • A four-door drink cooler at the bar was non-functional and turned off. It's been tagged and held—staff cannot use it until it reliably maintains 41°F or colder and passes reinspection.
  • The door fell off a middle deep fryer and was left on the floor. Inspector ordered it replaced and kept in working condition.
  • Two lights were out along the main prep line in the kitchen. Manager installed new lights by the end of the inspection.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
