I attended the opening today with a group of friends. We were greeted by former Chicago Bear, Israel Idonije, who is also one of the partners of the establishment. The food was delicious, and the wings were a hit! The service was excellent. We look forward to making this one of our spots, whether before or after a game or just for happy hour with friends. I highly recommend this place.

The last tavern left on Whiskey Row, where a dozen or more bars (all on the same block) quenched the thirst and hunger of Stockyards workers starting in 1924. Park and enter in the rear, join the locals, and experience a little bit of old Chicago!

I rated this tavern a 5 because it is awesome. Wanda was the best. A Chicago Icon. It was so terribly sad of her passing ? but we all know someone has a new guardian angel ?. I'm happy to see that Stanley's is going great with the love of the neighborhood and the family and friends of Stanley's. The food is delicious and the staff is awesome especially the one they call Darla the darling. She's as tough as nails but as sweet as she is nice. I love her dearly my very good friend of mine and my husband and we are very happy she is in our neighborhood ?. Good luck Darla?

Yes, it's a bar, but they also serve decent food (at a reasonable price), which is why I go there. The menu changes, so call ahead. Some days, they have meatloaf, breaded pork chops, turkey dinner, roast pork, burgers, steak sandwiches, etc. Basically, American Diner food in a casual relaxed atmosphere. The specials come with mashed potatoes n gravy, a vegetable, and sometimes apple sauce. I wasn't crazy about the turkey, but the meatloaf is good with a baked ketchup top, a great homemade flavor (and it's a large portion). The breaded pork chops are my favorite, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I wish they served them on more days. The steak sandwich is great on some days, but sometimes the steak is kinda chewy. But for the price it's all great! Tip your server generously. She takes care of the bar and the tables, so be patient. The bathrooms are kept very clean and this place is CASH ONLY. Lunch is the best, they open at 11 am and there is a lot around back.

Great old time Chicago corner bar. Food and bartenders are great. Wanda's relative that took over has done some great improvements to the place. Love the old time bars brings back memories.
