We’re impressed when any Wrigleyville bar lasts a year. So it’s even more impressive to see Merkle‘s Bar and Grill is celebrating its five-year anniversary this month. Celebrate with them during a special customer appreciation night on Wednesday, featuring free drinks and hors d’oeuvres from 7-9 p.m., while live music plays all night.
