Absolutely great bar in Chicago! If you are looking for some of the best drink deals while also having great bar food this is the place. The place has TVs everywhere so you can see whatever game you need at all times and there is not a bad spot in the bar.
Food: They have it all and also do it all well! My personal favorite are the buffalo wings, which are both huge and great flavor. You get a deal with your food and I have had to go home with food multiple times.
Drinks: Some of the best drinks and service for drinks, while also never disappointed with the service.
Overall absolutely a favorite for any sporting event that is close to the CTA

The BEST bar in Chicago! Finley Dunne's has become my go-to Bears bar this season.
Atmosphere: They have a ton of TVs (including a massive screen behind the bar, which you rarely see at neighborhood watering holes) so there's never a bad seat, and they play the game audio over all the speakers. The vibes are very welcoming: you'll be high fiving with strangers-soon-to-be-acquaintances and singing Bear Down, Chicago Bears in no time.
Food/Drink: I'm originally from Western NY and having eaten a million Buffalo wings in my lifetime, I can say that Finley Dunne's has the best wings in Chicago (and yes, I have eaten at Bird's Nest). The hot dog is also great, I'd say it's on par with any sausages or tubular-shaped meets that one could procure at Paulina Meat Market. Dicing up the tomato instead of serving tomato wedges on top of the Chicago-style hot dog is a stroke of genius. Pitchers of PBR are very affordable and cold as Lake Michigan in the winter. They pour a great Guinness as well.
Staff: This is Finley Dunne's ace in the hole. I can't say enough great things about the staff. The bar tends to fill up early for Bears games, but when my friends and I showed up with no tables available, the general manager of the bar was so quick to bring out extra stools for us to sit on. Our server, Victoria, was outstanding too. It never felt like we were waiting for our next drink despite a packed house; she came by very frequently to make sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy the game. The owners are super friendly as well.
Bottom Line: An excellent bar to watch sports with your buddies. Come for the game, stay for the terrific food and friendly people.

Not an IU bar anymore! Great spot but wanted to spread the word. They played an Illinois basketball game with sound on instead of the Big Ten Football championship IU vs. Ohio State. The football game was on some TVs but our group left for another establishment pretty surprised an early regular season college basketball game carried more weight than 1 vs. 2 in the Big 10 championship.

I started stopping by Finley Dunne’s Tavern earlier this year, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots in Chicago! From their delicious pizza and burger to the amazing, friendly bar staff! This place has such a welcoming atmosphere that you feel at home the moment you walk in. The patrons are equally friendly, making it the perfect neighborhood hangout.
With TVs mounted on all four walls (plus the street-side patio) you can catch pretty much any game your witty heart desires while kicking back and enjoying the chill and lively vibes. Whether you’re looking for a local neighborhood staple or just a great bar to unwind at, Finley Dunne’s is the place.
And trust me on this… DON’T LEAVE WITHOUT ORDERING AN O’YEA Bomb!! You won’t regret it!

Finnley Dunne's is a good hold out of a Chicago institution. That is a neighborhood dive bar. Good vibes, food, staff and it's affordable.

Took 2 hours to get our food and nobody said anything to us. After 2 hours server comes up and says “we are out of [food I ordered]. Sunday night, 20 people in the bar. If you want to eat food- DO NOT COME HERE. Waste of time. Food mid too. Horrible horrible horrible

Love this spot! Service is always great and food is SO good! They have a plenty of TVs, darts and TouchTunes.
Their wings are my favorite and they let you mix sauces (recommend the buffalo with garlic parm) and their sweet potato fries are my favorite ever but really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
