ABOUT THE BALLPARK PUB
The pub at 514 W. Pershing Road is a Sox fan’s dream. Even before you find the team logos inside, you’ll walk over a full-size batter’s box outside the front door.
​
The menu features an array of meats all smoked in house, like ribs, brisket sliders and jumbo chicken wings. Tapas offerings include mac and cheese, beer-battered onion rings and shrimp tacos.
​
There’s even an outdoor patio.
​
In front of every bar seat is a charging station for patrons to keep their cellphone batteries topped.
​
And behind the bar? 16 beers on tap, including brews from Guinness, Lagunitas, Revolution and SweetWater.
​
Richie Rogulich and Nicky Bertucci are the men behind the bar and grill — and they’re neighborhood boys through and through.
​
The 39-year-old lifelong pals grew up next door to each other in Armour Square, where they had a view of old Comiskey Park.
