50 Best Sports Bars near Elmwood Park

“We’ve been there before but it seemed a waste of a nice neighborhood bar. The past few times there were hardly anyone in there and I always thought it was a shame that a neighborhood bar with lots of potential was empty however, today there was a few more people than normal and the bartender Jennifer was greeting everyone and making everyone feel welcome. We stopped in for the Bears game and they had pizza for customers which was definitely a plus because we didn’t eat beforehand and it allowed us to stay and watch the game rather than going somewhere else to eat. If it keeps up, we may continue to go there to watch the games!“

“Brand new state of the art gaming with the highest payouts in the area.“

“We have an amazing time every time we go there. We enjoy taking one of our bikes, muscle cars, antique cars etc for a night out, and going for great food and entertainment. The bartender is absolutely fantastic! He remembers what we drive, hobbies etc. It’s just an all around great place to go. The burgers are just absolutely fantastic. And you can’t beat the Monday special. Try the seasoned fries!“

“Everybody knows everybody!! super fast service even when packed!“

“Came into town just to watch Euros at this bar. Brian and the crew were outstanding bartenders!“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“i’m writing this review as i’m still sitting in the booth because it was just THAT good.

i ordered the french onion burger with the regular fries on the side, and let me tell you i haven’t had a burger check every box like this one. the garlic aioli was the perfect amount of flavor to complement the caramelized onions. the bun was seemingly buttered and fluffy. and the fries!! they had a flakey salt with not one fry left unsalted. they were also thin and crispy to perfection.

the service was great and every staff member was always smiling. i never write reviews but this one felt very necessary. 5 stars from me!“

“Great food! Tacos, pizza and wings are the way to go“

“Best soccer pub in the Midwest, maybe the country. Can’t beat the world-wide coverage, the beer and drinks menu, the food quality, and the great service. No one has this combination. That’s why Hudson’s is the official home pub of the Chicago Hammers. They know and care for the game and its supporters, and not just the so-called big six.“

“We went in after a miserable day. We were weary and super hungry. The Pony was just the right medicine. Big kudos to our bartender who took great care of us. I had two Anti Heroes-there was a sheen of ice on the top of the beer which is just exactly how beer should be served. Our waffle fries nachos plate was huge. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and tater tots which was equally delicious. We went in around 5pm which is why I gave only four stars for atmosphere there weren't many people around. Thanks for supplying great service, tasty food and cold beer it really changed the day for us“

“Fun place with nice people.“

“Such a great place! Had so much fun. Highly recommend.“

“Great food, drinks and friendly bartenders!“

“Alex is a great karaoke host! Olga is the best inviting and the sweetest bartender! ? this is a great place with great atmosphere. My boyfriend recommended this place when we started dating and now we are regulars and friends with the staff. They have a little back porch area for smoking or just getting some fresh air if it's too packed inside! I love this place!“

“Amazing little spot on Clark. Beauty atmosphere, fantastic staff, feels like your classic local back home. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood and need to take a load off. Big ups to Randy, thanks for your hospitality!“

“I heard about this Soccer Themed Sports Bar in the City and I knew I had to stop by and see what all the hype is about!

The food was very affordable because they offer nice deals on food and drinks - Pizza and the wings were great!

The customer service was attentive and friendly.

Definitely worth checking out in West Town.“

“Good experience with service & food!“

“Great local spot for wings, pizza, beers, music & vibes. Staff it great. It does get pretty busy or packed some times so having patience is key if you are going in hangry. Overall a great selection if you want the neighborhood bar outing.“

“Great Food and sports ambiance. Can’t beat the owner’s vision for this place. He succeeded.“

“Great place to visit. Very comfortable surroundings. Great get away place to think during the early evenings. My favorite time to visit is around 11:00-5:00pm. I listen to great music have a beer or two and play the slot machines. At times win big!!! Victoria's has all types of music, in- expensive drinks, ales and spirits. Fabulous owners and friendly regulars. Private Parties in doors and out doors. You will be glad you stopped by.“

“The bar tender was a gem. Accidentally walked in to see what they had available and ended up spending a couple hours enjoying the bartenders conversation and got one of the best old fashioned I'd ever had. Thanks for making Chicago exploration fun. Hope to get to your brother's bar downtown.“

“One of Julia’s greatest talents, she is always caring and calmed tense situations and prevented unpleasant confrontations. Julia’s professionalism and dedication adds great attraction to Richmond’s Sports Bar!“

“Teressa is an amazing bartender/host. Lovely girl. Great service, makes the atmosphere very chill and entertaining. Always a good talk with her. Also, I feel like she's the only one who actually knows what's going on there. Helpful, able to solve every issue.“

“This past weekend we celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday at Draft bar and it was an awesome night! Service with a smile and great atmosphere made for a special night! My wife and I would encourage everyone looking for a great space to party like we just did to do it here! The shot ski is a definite plus as well as the front patio! Looking forward to many more parties here! Cheers 🍻“

“It’s a nice place to play slots. Staff is friendly.“

“Great local bar with live DJ and other acts a fair amount of the time. Come to experience friendly staff and a cozy feel. Open mics and karaoke weekly are especially fun.“

“Such an amazing spot! A great addition to the neighborhood! The service is amazing, everyone who works here is so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is great (the santi spring rolls is a hit on the salty side however). This spot is not just great as a local spot, but also worth a trip. The outdoor patio area is so nice and has music and indoors, there’s a really charming atmosphere with a fireplace. Love it!“

“Great Drinks and Food is delicious!“

“I am from out of town and I have a go to wing spot where I live. Always try wings when traveling but rarely am I impressed compared to home. Had the hot Buffalo wings at Four Shadows and was finally impressed with a wing outside of my normal go to. Wow, these were served hot (temp), fresh and the spice wasn’t crazy hot but just right for buffalo. The service was impeccable, had one of the owners Rob and Kyle behind the bar and they were so attentive and welcoming. Always checking with us to accommodate any need we may have. Highly recommend Four Shadows, great wings, great staff. I don’t want to leave this place!“

“Very friendly place I love places like this had a great time and was well takin care of love it excellent environment“

“We dined at Hillgrove Tap for a Moms day out event today. They were fantastic handling our group. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. And they were so organized. Marc was one of the people who helped make our lunch so enjoyable, thank you Marc and team! We do not live in this town but will be bringing my family back soon! Thanks for the great experience!“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“Incredible cocktailscare about cocktails“

“Stopped by for happy hour and spent about $30 on a spicy margarita and a pepperoni pizza. The margarita had a nice kick, and the pizza was solid—crispy crust, gooey cheese. The vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. They've got pool tables and TVs for sports, making it a great spot to hang out. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the wait for food was a bit longer than expected. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot.“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“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.“

“everyone was accepting and pleasant and welcoming“

“Literally just had the best experience with one of the best bartenders I’ve ever met. ❤️ Extremely helpful, cheerful, fun, kind and attentive. Thank you so much Renee! So much!“

“Nice place close to the UC but don’t be deceived by the “smash burger” on their menu. First off…nowhere near a smash burger. Party was thick and had zero sear to it. Honestly it looked unappetizing. Also the meat had zero seasoning. It tasted just like you were eating playing ground beef. Even with all the toppings on it. And before anyone asks, it was not busy yet. Started getting busy after we receive our food. 3 in our party got the same thing and they all agreed…possibly one of the worst burgers we ever ordered. Others in our party ordered other things and they said they were good. But if I was asked to smash or pass on the smash burger it’s a hard pass.“

“Great Staff and food! Tables are nice, very nice clean private bathrooms and awesome environment to hang out or just chill.“

“Hosted my party there, had a few friends come by and we had a good time. Bartender is awesome. Fast service.“

“I remember reading in the paper some time ago about a new chicken place that was opening up, but I had forgotten about it. I was looking for a new place to try in the neighborhood and blazin b's came up. Me and my girlfriend went to try the chicken sandwiches and they were phenomenal! I got the fried j*** chicken sandwich, and she got the fried blazin chicken sandwich, both served with potato wedges (pure awesomeness). Let's not forget the side of mac and cheese which was a great addition coupled with some great beers from the Trinity. I'm sad I haven't been here sooner, but all in all, I will definitely be coming back here for the food and drinks!“
