Long time customer, come in at least once or twice a month. Experience has always been good until this evening, when we were verbally threatened by a very inebriated client. The man was visibly intoxicated when we arrived, yet was served 4+ more shots and/or beers. After he continued to threaten us, we asked to close out and sit outside. The bartender made no mention of the man, who remained inside for another half hour, before stepping out to the patio, again threatening us and another client also dining on the patio. He then returned inside to sit for a while and left with a takeout order, before stepping back out, falling to the ground spilling all his belongings. After he left, we dropped our glasses off inside and the bartender again made no mention of the incident.
I am disappointed in the reaction of the staff to this issue. No steps were take to remove the man, or to make sure we were okay. We had to walk between the man and the exit ramp to leave, and were offered no assistance getting around him, once we made it clear we wanted to get away from the man. This is a great bar, and I get that stuff happens, but there’s also a lot of good bars on the street that proactively handle situations like this.

Jasmine provided the best service we’ve had in Chicago this week.

The food and service were VERY good, however, my partner had the vegan based burger but it was served with Sriracha mayo, which is not vegan obviously.

Had the veggie pizza - the base was store bought. Taste was ok and exactly like how a store bought base would taste.

Nice atmosphere, pretty good food, and a super nice server. I recommend this spot! The string lights are fun and the vibe is just overall nice. Highly recommend the artichoke dip but the baked goat cheese was just okay. The crusty breads were the best part.

My favorite neighborhood bar. Very friendly people and the staff is the best. Reasonable prices and the food is pretty good.

The buffalo chicken wrap is one of my favorite foods in the entire city. I love the vibe of this place as well!
Great spot for a beer that isn’t overpriced. Old Town Pub isn’t trying to be one of the trendy places on Wells. It’s a classic spot to sit with friends and drink, watch sports, and hang. If you’re looking for a good gathering spot that isn’t one of those mega bars/“mini clubs” on Wells, Old Town Pub is the spot.
