I didn't have any food there, but the bartender was very nice, and she was very good. She was great for handling a crowd for about 20 or better because I didn't pay attention to how many people were in there. All I know that the service was good.

I really liked this place! Super fun on a weekend or week night. The regulars are pretty welcoming. It's the typical local dive, which it does well!

Ive been here through the years here and there, but this was the first time I went to their Monday night Bingo! Was pretty fun ?

I'd call this place an upscale dive bar. We were there on a Thursday morning had about three beers and a shot. The bar tender was wonderful

Great local pub with excellent prices. Cool place to chill, watch sports, or play bingo on Mondays. Angie and the rest of the staff are awesome. I can't wait for game days, they always treat the customers to some kind of catered food.

This is the best neighborhood bar in Chicago! They have a great outdoor space and a back room space that can be rented out for events. I had my 30th birthday in the back room and it was a blast. The owner is absolutely wonderful and so is the staff. Love this place.

Came here and enjoyed ourselves at this neighborhood bar. It's totally what one should be: cheap drinks and laid back atmosphere with intoxicated regulars. O'Donnell's isn't as crowded and one reason is because it's kind of hard to get to. For one thing, it's not real close to a train station, and it's not in that popular of an area. The drinks are real cheap mostly. Bars like this aren't as common anymore. It seems many like the fancy drinks that are expensive. They don't do that here. For those cheaping out, come here for the drinks. It's $3 for an Old Style. Certainly not the cheapest bar, but it is for around here. The cocktails aren't much more. Apparently they have food but all they had were frozen pizzas the last time here. The bar is pretty clean even though it looks grungy and nasty. Has a real chill atmosphere. It's a good place for watching games. This is on the Northwest Side in Mayfair at the corner of Elston and Keebler, with the closest public transportation being the Montrose CTA station.

Great place to watch sports, meet people, or just cool out with a cold beer and great tunes. Super accommodating bartenders! Everything you want in a neighborhood bar and MORE.

I REALLY like O'Donnel's. It's a great neighborhood bar. It's priced like a dive but it's really nice and clean. The servers are excellent. Terry, the owner, is a very nice lady. They are extremely dog friendly and keep a stack of toys in the corner for the pups. They aren't a restaurant but they will make you a frozen pizza for cheap. Also, they open early for us day drinkers. The clientele is very laid back and if you're there more than an hour you will more than likely receive at least 1 chit for a free round. This can get dangerous as I always reciprocate the favor, and sometimes I end up drinking far more than had been planned. I live in edgewater but I go out of my way to come here. You should too.
