“Great quiet old world English pub“

“First time at Spiteful brewing and it was exactly what you might expect from an independent brewery. Good selection of beers, good location and it looks like they have a very nice outdoor seating area out front.

This day was not conducive to outdoor seating, but I imagine this is a great location during the summer months.“

“Finally treated ourselves - not disappointed!! Hubby got the chicken piccante & I had the chicken marsala - both were excellent! The pasta fagioli was so good we got a quart to take home. The service and atmosphere were also great - we will definitely be back!!“

“I am from Australia and visited Kasey's on my first night. Excellent Beer variety.
I have visited every day of my visits due to the above and also the excellence/kindness of Taylor the Bartender whom had a great knowledge of the Beers and spoiled ALL her customers....I will surely return on my next trip to Chicago. THANK YOU Taylor and Kasey's .“

“Good food! Great atmosphere.“

“Not one to go out on a weekend night - but the guy working the door was the best, super friendly guy without the doorman ego and went out of his way to play our requests for song. We had a large group, great drinks and bartenders - super fun vibe.“

“I can't recommend this pub enough for any locals or tourists. It has a cozy vibe with a hint of dive and a great outdoor space that compliments what makes Chicago great. Not to mention the patio is dog friendly z you are sure to have a blast and make new friends!“

“We recently attended an engagement party at Goldie’s. The party was originally scheduled as an outdoor event but was forced to go inside at the last minute. Goldie’s ownership allowed the party to use their location, opened early and provided bar service for all attendees. All with less than 24 hours notice! Claire, the bartender, came in early and was exceptional. Highly recommend for special events or to just stop in for a drink!“

“Such a cool venue for shows.“

“Awesome bar for starters. The people, the vibe, and the drinks are all top-notch. There’s a little sweetheart named Katie who works weekends—she’s incredibly down-to-earth and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. Honestly, she treats us like family.

I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a laid-back South Side pub with great energy, this is the spot.“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.“

“great time on our first trip there tonight! Special shout out to Savanah! she was our awesome waitress!“

“I’ve been to Green Door Tavern before, but never had a bartender like autumn . I was in town again on a business trip and decided to stop by — best decision I made all week. She completely changed the vibe. Fast with the pours, smooth with the banter, and just straight-up fun to be around.

She’s got that rare mix of professionalism and personality that makes you feel like a regular even if you’re just passing through. Drinks were perfect, service was sharp, and her energy pulled the whole room together.

Autumn raised the standard — hands down the best bartender I’ve had there. If she’s behind the bar, you’re in for a damn good time. 💯🔥🍸“

“Great music and awesome pint of Guinness“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“I went to hear Irish music and it was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I appreciated the hostess & manager accommodating our small group without a reservation. Our ‘hour’ began late ( into the hour already at start ) and had to end ten minutes early to allow prep time for the next customers with an appointment for the room, but the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming, and we felt safe. First visit; will return. Thanks, Greenlight!“

“Great place to grab a libation after a Wrigley Field event.“

“Best steak around by far. Nothing and nowhere near can compare in my opinion!“

“dope as food fire beer🔥🔥🔥“

“Hands down, the best bar food in the neighborhood! Pretzel-crusted walleye is ridiculous along with the olive-sized steamed mussels. But as good as the food, the bartenders crush it even more. Responsive, accommodating and authentically friendly.“

“Everyone is kind enough to leave me alone.“

“Stopped in for a cold glass of beer after a long day at work, and it totally hit the spot. Our server, Lana, was so cool and attentive that we ended up staying for some food too. The beer and food selection were both really solid, with something for everyone. The vibe was super chill, the crowd was laid-back, and the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be back! after a long day“

“Music atmosphere people and drinks!“

“Fantastic food 👍 Great service 👍 Highly recommend !!!!“

“Great playlist that kept me singing along the whole I was here. Great service and atmosphere! I’m from out of town and would highly recommend on your visit to Chicago!“

“Wow what an experience, we was visiting from the UK and had to see the famous bar, instantly we was welcome. Food was amazing, the bartenders was so lovely and even let my son go behind the bar for a photo. Really friendly ❤️ locals was really nice too x Thank you“

“such sweet owners! they helped me celebrate my 20th birthday last year with the sign and some catered food, and this year (i have covid☹️) they gave drinks on the house for my family who went to celebrate in honor of me! i can't wait to come visit once i'm out of quarantine!!“

“The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“I am a great bartender 🍺 🎧 DJ MA 🎧“

“Dogs! Whiskey! Darts! Guinness on draft!“

“Absolutely loved it!!!! First time but will definitely not be the last!!!“

“Best buffalo garlic chicken wings I’ve ever had hands down! Great atmosphere and great service!“

“Larry's is always a welcome and relaxing venue. It's a very cozy and intimate vibe.

They host a lot of fun events and activities like Wednesday night trivia and movie nights, and they always decorate for the season.

Bar staff are very friendly and welcoming and can handle a crowd.

They have a range of flavorful cocktails and beer selection and recently added some sandwich and food options from the local Uptown Deli.“

“My partner and I stayed in the neighborhood and kept coming back to Floyd’s. The drinks were great, food was yummy, and prices were fair. Reminded me of the neighborhood bars in my hometown, Baltimore. Marti, made us feel at home with great service! Def coming back again“

“This distressed traveler on a scooter, needing to pee, a beer, cigarette, and an electric outlet. Heard of, knew of Bucktown Pub 🍻 from passing by. This was my first time in. Ordered my beer. Told of my dilemma about having a nearly dead battery on a scooter And was in search of and permission for using an electrical outlet that was met by very many ears, one of them spoke up and said, there is an outlet right there. I asked if I could use it, and someone else (who I'd not met until they were on their way out) gave his permission. Immediately it felt comfortable, at home, welcomed. Later on, I was met by the tamale guy and man oh man this guy better not go anywhere! some of the greatest tamales I've ever had!!“

“Magoo's is letting the band Malinche play on August 25th knowing that a member of that band, Calvin Hobbes, is a rapist. Watch out for businesses that won't watch out for you ladies.“

“The ambiance is first class and I feel out of place to watch early morning soccer there but the staff is very friendly and the chairs are most comfortable. The on tap choices are very good and the food is delicious. Ample tv screens to accommodate your team of choice. I highly recommend this place.“

“This is an excellent place to eat. The food is outstanding and not at all what you would expect as bar food. The beer is could and there are lots of choices, even really great gluten free beer! The service could not be better. I can't wait to go back.“

“I usually stop here since it's on my mail route and I can tell you that they have great food and great drinks I had their buttermilk chicken sandwich with portage park tater tots and it was very good I highly recommend this spot espically for happy hour also the staff is amazing they always make me feel welcome“

“Amazing experience! We had the food truck at our sons birthday party! Not only are they delicious but also amazing customer service!!! They were so nice, engaged with everyone, and my son loved the men working and he’s two so he loved doing fist bumps and they even cut his chicken tenders up for me so they would cool faster. I have nothing but nice words for them! We will definitely be using them again at other parties! Thank you again so much! Also great at communicating!“

“we spend alot of time at luries children's hospital with our son that is battling cancer and while out walking my husband and I came across this place. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is amazing, the drinks are great and the food is so good. I love their wings the best.“
