One of the best pizzas in the city. The wings are great too. Definitely on my top 5. Its thin/tavern style pizza is super flavorful with a beautiful crispy crust. It’s a bit expensive, so I don’t get too often, but when I do it’s always a treat. I always feel satisfied with my order.I haven’t dined in, but it is spacious: from the bar, to booths, and large high tops, it’s perfect for a date night or a group celebration. I hope Irving Park doesn’t lose this gem!Kid-friendliness: Kid menu and every time I pick up an order, there is families with children.

Horrible, almost hostile service. Too bad. I used to rave about their pizza. Wish I could say otherwise because it's close and I have been a frequent patron since they opened, but I can no longer recommend.

I went there for food and a beer. Some patrons took my menu, and when I asked for it back, they went off on me. The staff didn't care as they started calling me nigger, which is ironic considering I'm white. The bar staff did nothing to quell the situation. I feel bad because I did not tip the bartender. WTF! Never going back. Bunch of losers.

Place looks like THE sports bar to go to from the outside, and even as you step in, but the service is really holding this place back. Maybe a good spot to go solo or with a friend or two to sit at the bar but get ready for a long wait time at a table (we waited an hour before we got an order of drinks in).Food was solid enough, nothing special but everything you’d need at a sports bar.

I want to like this bar and have given it several chances over the years hoping it won't still suck, but every time it still sucks. This time around I walked in and ordered a salad to go...the super nice server who seemed to be the only capable person there did her best but 45 minutes later when it still hadn't arrived and I saw someone order food 30 minutes after me get their burger, I canceled. Like how hard can it be to make a salad??

This place used to be an incredible neighborhood bar. It is now on second owners in less than 2 years. It's done downhill. The food is terrible, they are understaffed so it's impossible to get service and no one seems to care about the neighborhood regulars that have kept it open and supported the business over all these years. Very sad.

I found out there is new ownership within the last 2 months. I found out Weds night is karaoke night. Food is top notch. The owner was on site to greet patrons.

Couldn't have asked for a better time. Our server Jasmine was extremely courteous and professional. Food tasted great too! I will definitely return.

This is one of the closest places to us, so we're here somewhat frequently. Food is great! Better than great for being a sports/neighborhood bar and very consistent. The service has been hit or miss. Sometimes it's awesome. Sometimes it's abysmal. It's hard to know what you're going to get, which is why this place gets 4 stars overall.

Went to this place on a Saturday night. Service sucks. One waitress on a Saturday night no where to be found. Would not recommend going there again.

They know how to pour a perfect Guinness. Great bar service, average food (can be on the heavier side).
