Wrigley Area Rec for Apps and cocktails for pre-Elton John concert?

I am looking for an upscale restaurant for appetizers and cocktails for a group of 12 prior to the Elton John/Billy Joel concert at Wrigley Field. Some place that has great food, and good size list of apps, with fun, lively atmosphere (possibly outdoors?)

I am unfamiliar with Wrigley, as I stay close to home in bucktown....any thougths are greatly apprecited. Short cab ride ok. Thank you!

    1. Try Twist. It's a tapas place a few blocks south of Wrigley Field. There is a large lounge sectional area by the entrance that is good for bigger groups.

      Rockit has a new location just up the block from Wrigley. I haven't been there, but am guessing it is similar as the one downtown.

      Further west, how about Coobah? Great cocktails. And any place that is Latin fusion is always fun.

      1. Uncommon Ground is a great place. Food quality and ingredient choice is very good, a very fun/casual atmosphere. they also have a patio. I really appreciate their beer selection, so if you have any beer nerds in the party of 12, they will be pleased. I don't know what their app selection is like - may want to research.
