Chicago bachelor trip recs

Heading to Chicago for a bachelor trip and looking for some recs. 4 of us going.
Need a good steakhouse to go to
Best strip clubs? (Preferably fully nude)
Best deep dish?
Cubs play @ White Sox. Wish it was at wrigley. Is it worth going or should we just go watch it somewhere?
Any other cool things to do in Chicago?
Also going to the Gold cup final at soldier field. Hopefully the USMNT make it. Any think to do near the stadium?

We liked the deep dish at Lou Malnatis.
Tango Sur if you’d like an Argentine spin for your steakhouse.

Chicago Cut is my favorite steakhouse. I take clients and family. The unobstructed skyline view is UNREAL.

Hot take alert:
Comiskey (or whatever) is a great park, and a better place to watch baseball than Wrigley.
You'll probably pay a premium for tickets, but you'll have a good time.

I like maple & ash for a steakhouse bachelor party, it has the best environment.
Have done a number of different boat rentals for a bach party and all have been a good time. Either spend the day on Lake Michigan partying or rent one of those electric boats on the river.
Sydney Marovitz is a fun 9 hole course in the city if you want to play golf.
I would just order Lou Malnatis to wherever you are staying and drunk eat it late night. Pequods will also deliver depending on where you are.

The bleachers at Wrigley are practically made for a bachelor party

Untouchables Mob Tour is a good deal ~$40 per person
Pick the one that does the St. Valentine's Day Massacre &
Al Capone's headquarters, & the Biograph Theater (Dillinger)

My top three are Swift & Sons, Bavette’s and Kinzie Chophouse.
Depending on your plans, Swift & Sons might be a good choice because you can bounce around West Loop for a few beers/cocktails after.

Honestly, Chicago isn’t known for strip clubs and I can only think of two possibilities: Rick’s Cabaret and Pink Monkey.
Someone may be able to help on this more, but I haven’t thought of going to one here before.

Pequod’s, Art of Pizza and Lou Malnati’s

Guaranteed Rate is a nice stadium with plenty of good beer (i.e. Hop Butcher) throughout. Assuming you’re staying somewhere around the Loop / River North, it’s an easy ride on the Red Line.

Since you’re here for a bachelor party, I would assume you want to drink. Few neighborhood recommendations for bars would be Logan Square, Old Town, West Loop, and Wicker Park. If you’d prefer a club, River North is your spot.
Some fun/wild day drinking places: Cabana Club (Wicker), Parson’s (Lincoln Park or Logan Square), Paradise Park (Wicker), Fremont (River North), Kirkwood (Lakeview), Big Star (Wicker or Wrigley), J. Parker (Lincoln Park), Parlor (West Loop or Wicker), and Federales (West Loop),

Pequod’s,

Bavette's is one of my fav restaurants in the city. That would be a good one too if he only has 4 people.
Strip clubs here are terrible, don't waste your time.

Gibson's is where the action is. Joe's and RPM both very good also. Bring an extra wallet.

Nix this idea - Chicago strip clubs are awful.

Lou's. But get one thin crust too, I like it better and it's not "thin" the way us non-Chicagoans interpret that.

Watch in a bar in Wrigleyville or Lincoln Park.

Cool beach scene on North Ave. Architecture boat tour. Ravinia or other outdoor concert depending on who's playing. Find the 4am bars, it's only a select few open past 2am. Second City. Live music at Kingston Mines, Blues, or other club venue. Brewery tour.

If pizza is a thing, Phil's is can't-miss on the thin side. That tavern cut is majestic.

Hangge-Uppe (Gold Coast) and Burton's Place (Old Town) are popular 4:00am bars and close at 5:00am on Saturday.
Otherwise, plenty of bars (i.e. State in LP, Pour House in Old Town) stay open until 3:00am on Saturday.

I would definitely get a hotel right on the Red Line El. It will take you north-south from Wrigley to Guaranteed Rate. Also can walk to Soldier Field from there. Will save you time and money most likely. Also Uber of course.
I'd consider order deep dish late at night. It gets busy and takes an hour. Kinda a waste of time. If I stay down town, I usually order it to go and pick it up to bring it to the hotel. Or delivery.
Chicago's a great Bach party trip, you'll have a blast especially going to games.

Portillos, it's fast food but it's good and they serve booze.
Au Cheval has a good burger.
We went to Giordanos and Lou Malnati's.
We liked Lou Malnati's a lot better.

I did as well, I'm not sure if it was the best show to go to but we went to the Sunday brunch show. Pretty decent breakfast buffet and bottomless mimosas.
