The new Ice Skating Rink at Wrigley!

I was reading about the new wrigley ice rink in redeye this morning while drinking my coffee at rockit Wrigley, looked up, and there it was 100ft away!  

 It really feels like a random dream seeing it in front of such an iconic structure like wrigleyfield.  I guess after the success of the “winter classic” blackhawks vs red wings game earlier this year on 1/1, and the time they gave the neighbors to hit the ice after, the community thought that this would be an amazing treat for all- and it is!  

 To add to the excitement, I know all the restaurants & bars in the area are excited to entertain all the ice skating enthusiasts coming for fun, making sure that families, friends, dates, parties,.. can make a whole day and/or night of it!  Rockit Wrigley for example is doing ½ off hot soup & all kid’s menu items for guests w/their ice skating ticket… along with a ton of warm winter wonderland hot drink specials… (irish coffee, the peppermint paddy, super cider,…)

 The rink opens next week on December 15th, and goes til the end of February, being open for guests every night of the week, and all day/night Saturdays and Sundays.  For more info about rink click here (and if need me to save you a table at rockit ever click tyson@rockitbarandgrill.com )  see you on the ice!! (or thawing out over a rockit burger, truffle fries and some sort of hot chocolate adult beverage!)
