Let's see - 3 on Friday in Wrigleyville....
Goose Island and Uncommon Ground are both great. I love both spots. They'll both probably be pretty dead, though. There's also Salt & Pepper, which is a great little dive diner.
If you're looking for a good neighborhood bar, though, and not something that's "touristy", then go to Cody's Public House at Barry and Paulina (1 block west of Ashland, 1 block south of Belmont). My all time favorite bar in the entire world. I've been to wedding receptions there, barbeques (they have a beer garden in the summer), Bears games with food served by the owner's wife.... It's fairly quiet and they have lots of different things on tap. If you're headed there, let me know. I might try to sneak away.
