Best bar tenders and bouncers in town. Bar tenders make great drinks, vibe is great, location is great. A girl was cut off and the bouncer handled the situation with professionalism when she was escalating. He was polite, firm, and respectful. He was professional and maintained control of the bar’s safety and kept the vibe relaxed even when the girl was filming and harassing the staff from outside the window. Next time I’m in, I’m buying that guy a shot. He earned it. You guys rock! Great for the girls, gays, and theys!

Was excited to visit Gman tavern- was let in and sat at the bar on my phone waiting for my boyfriend to return from the restroom. When he returned, we were asked to get up and told we needed to leave because they didn’t want to serve us even though we had already paid for the concert. They said they thought I was too drunk. I had 2 drinks beforehand, and hour apart and said nothing to management. I had no idea what happened because the bar staff could not tell me what I did to make them feel this way. If I was too drunk I would take responsibility but this has never happened in my life. If you are a young woman alone, please avoid this bar- a lot of unnecessary behavior and sexism.

This has been my home for 12+ years! Amazing people, atmosphere and energy. Great service. Day time afternoons are reserved for Jeopardy! And the rest, we stay for the bullshit.

I've lived in the neighborhood for five years now and Gman was immediately our corner bar. Here's why: -It's dive-y but super clean (we see the cleaning crew every AM when we walk the dogs). -We've gotten to know the bartenders, door crew, bus crew, etc, pretty well over time and we'd hang out with all of them, they're super kind. -I feel really SAFE here. I saw a brawl break out up the street once where no staff was around to break it up. I've seen people try to start things a handful of times here and they've been handled respectfully each time. -It's dog-friendly and our dogs love it here.
I also appreciate that there's a pretty great no assholes policy. I've witnessed people be drunk and loud and stuff. But staff will stand up to people who actively act like assholes, as they should. Because bar staff members are no one's servants.
Bottom line: This is the best neighborhood bar that happens to also get a lot of baseball traffic and I think it's all magical :)

For the past year I’ve enjoyed hanging out at gman on a regular basis and so has my dog! Love the people and atmosphere
Great hang out for the Cubs game! A Wrigleyvile standard, the bat used to be called the Gingerman but the new owners after purchase changed the name to Gman. They have a very cool handmade wooden bar and a relaxed smooth vibe. They also have a little venue inside the bar for live music. This very classic, cool little dive bar is worth checking out the next time you are in Wrigleyville.

I had a very unpleasant experience here. One of the employees—a guy with long hair and painted nails—was extremely disrespectful. Instead of helping, he made a rude hand gesture (middle finger) and behaved in an unprofessional and offensive manner. This is completely unacceptable in any workplace, especially when dealing with customers. I expected basic courtesy, not attitude and mockery. I won’t be coming back and strongly suggest others think twice before visiting.

A bar is supposed to be a fun place. An up tight bar tender is not where I want to spent my money.
