BRICKHOUSE TAV E R N Presented Exclusively by Harvest Timber Specialty Products
'It happened. It happened. Chicago, it happened,' first baseman Anthony Rizzo said a;er gloving the ball for the final out. 'We did it. We're world champions. I tell ya, we're world champions. I can't believe it.' In front of a host of celebriBes including Cubs mega-‐fans Bill Murray and actor John Cusack, the boisterous packed house at Progressive Field watched as the perennial losers turned champions. And the whole Bme, blue-‐clad fans who traveled from Wrigley Field filled nearly the enBre lower deck behind the Chicago dugout, singing 'Go, Cubs, Go!' in rain. They held up those white flags with the large blue 'W' on a night many fans who had come before them never witnessed.
The 108 year wait is over! Chicago erupts as the Cubs win the World Series by one run a;er extra innings and a rain delay in epic five-‐hour Game Seven against the Cleveland Indians Kris Bryant started to smile even before he fielded the ball. And with his throw to first for the final out, the agonizing wait 'Bl next year was over at last. No more Billy Goat, no more Bartman, no more black-‐ cat curses.For a legion of fans who waited a lifeBme, fly that W: The Chicago Cubs are World Series champions. Ending more than a century of flops, fuBlity and frustraBon, the Cubs won their first Btle since 1908, outlasBng the Cleveland Indians 8-‐7 in 10 innings of a Game 7 thriller that started on Wednesday night and ran unBl the early hours of Thursday morning.
'I think about so many millions of people giving so much love and support to this team for so many years,' owner Tom RickeYs, whose family bought the team in 2009, said.Manager Joe Maddon's team halted the longest stretch without a Btle in baseball, becoming the first club to overcome a 3-‐1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals.
Brickhouse Tavern — part of the Four Corners Tavern Group — is the latest addiBon to the Park at Wrigley, the RickeYs family's redevelopment of a triangular spot adjacent to the ballpark between Clark Street and Waveland Avenue. The 15,000-‐square-‐foot restaurant, which has four bars and two outdoor terraces, will be able to accommodate up to 900 people, according to a Four Corners Tavern Group news release. "We're excited to offer a new gathering place where fans and neighbors alike can enjoy excepBonal food and beverage opBons with an unrivaled ballpark backdrop," said Crane Kenney, president of Hickory Street Capital and president of business operaBons for the Cubs.
Located next door to historic Wrigley Field at the Park at Wrigley, the Budweiser Brickhouse Tavern offers an elevated dining experience with four expansive bars, two outdoor terraces and stunning views of historic Wrigley Field and the Chicago skyline.
Budweiser Brickhouse offers a unique Chicago experience by paying homage to legendary Chicago Cubs broadcaster Jack Brickhouse. Best known for his joyful enthusiasm for the game and his popular “Hey Hey” expression a;er an outstanding Chicago Cubs on-‐ field performance, Jack Brickhouse’s legacy will be honored with memorabilia and rich tavern features.
Budweiser Brickhouse provides a year-‐ round gathering space for neighbors, friends, families and fans with a robust menu featuring refined sports-‐bar fare and new twists on tavern-‐style dining that pair perfectly with your favorite cra; beer. Whether you’re enjoying a family meal, date-‐night out or cheering on the home team, come to the Budweiser Brickhouse for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The relaBonship between the King of Beers and the champions of baseball began in 2013 when the Cubs struck a seven-‐figure, 10-‐plus year corporate partnership deal with Anheuser Busch InBev. Part of that deal involved assets outside the park owned by Hickory Street Capital, the RickeYs family-‐owned real estate firm, according to Colin Faulkner, senior vice president of sales and markeBng for the Cubs. And affixing the Budweiser name to the Brickhouse Tavern, the 15,000-‐square-‐ foot restaurant named in honor of legendary Cubs announcer Jack Brickhouse, was part of the agreement, as reported by Greg TroYer of the Chicago Tribune.
Budweiser also put together an emo3onal commercial celebra3ng the Cubs, using iconic Chicago broadcaster Harry Caray.
The 1908 World Series was significant for being the last World Series championship the Cubs would win until the 2016 World Series, 108 years later. Before the 2016 series, the team would go on to appear in seven World Series; in 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938, and 1945, losing each time. The Cubs had been one of baseball's most dominant teams in the early 1900s. This was the year of the infamous "Merkle's Boner" play that allowed the Chicago Cubs to reach the World Series after beating the New York Giants (now the San Francisco Giants) in a one-game "playoff", actually the makeup game for the tie that the Merkle play had caused.
The Series was anti-climactic after tight pennant races in both leagues. Ty Cobb had a much better World Series than in the previous year, as did the rest of his team. The final two games, held in Detroit, were shutouts. This was also the most poorly attended World Series in history, with the final game drawing a record-low 6,210 fans. Attendance in Chicago was harmed by a ticket-scalping scheme that fans accused the club's owner of participating in, and the World Series was boycotted to some degree.
