“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!“
“This was the first bar I visited upon returning home to the US, and the staff were very welcoming. The small, but fairly packed, bar had a cozy atmosphere as the music playing overhead was barely audible among the chatter of regulars and incoming patrons.Large tv's were streaming sports overhead adding to the ambiance (along with Halloween decorations)--how festive! Had a few drinks and are feeling super hungry? Armand's pizza is right next door, but the two establishments are conjoined so you can walk directly into the pizzeria. My last two visits at Tiny Tap were very enjoyable and I encourage anyone to stop in for a drink.“
“We recently stopped by Tony D’s on a Saturday night because we saw they were having a band. Not much else to go on, we ventured into the wild on a path of discovery. When we arrived, there was no parking and we parked a block away. Now. I have to say that I have been to Tony D’s a couple of times before. I’ve always had a good time. That night was no different. Let’s walk through this.We arrived and all the tables were full EXCEPT ONE! Like it was meant to be. Immediately after arriving the wait staff came over to greet us. Our waitress was sweet and had a pep in her step.We soon realized that Yankee Cowboy was the band that was playing. Nice! Not the best, but they are very entertaining. So that was a plus.We ordered some wings with 2 sauces and the brisket nachos. The wings were meaty and well prepared. Their sauces spicy, but not ridiculously hot or obnoxiously gimmicky. The nachos were good, had a decent portion of brisket. I do wish they had more BBQ sauce, good for bar food, but not amazing.Anyway, the evening went well. Yankee Cowboy did their thing and the whole crowd was into it.Security kept the overzealous partiers in line and asked 2 to leave, so I felt very safe.I kinda struggled with this review because I always have a good time there. Problem is I always feel like something is missing. Anyway, I will continue to watch local bands at Tony D’s and hope that I find what I’m looking for so I can push my rating to a 5.Thank you Tony D’s for a good time!“
“Great place and a great addition to the neighborhood. I’ve been here a few times now and enjoyed everything I’ve had. Great cocktails too. The couple that opened it are wonderful people. The staff and owners are super friendly and attentive.“
“My husband and I were in Chicago for a convention a couple of weeks ago. While I was getting ready for the day he was watching the news and says to me "we need to try this place". As y'all know from my other reviews he is a pizza perfectionist :) On the morning spotlight segment was this place called Whiskey Girl Tavern and they were talking how they are known for their hot honey pepperoni pizza and chicken tenders (which sell out).We didn't get to go to it that day and the next day we kept debating between that one and Robert's pizza which had been recommended. Well he couldn't get the image of their pizza out of his mind, so we hopped in a Uber and took the 25min ride to check it out.We sat at the best seat in the house ... the corner bar where we had the pleasure of meeting and talking to the best bar manager, Phil!! I ordered the Spill That Spicy T Margarita made with their homemade pineapple, jalapeño mix. It was the perfect balance.. of heat, sweetness (I don't do sweet) perfect touch of smoke from the mezcal and finished with a tahini rim ... omg I can't stop thinking about it!!!! To start we ordered the fried pickles which were the perfect size and lightly breaded .. delicious .Now the main event .. the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza. Let's talk about the crust which in our opinion will make or break a pizza. We love thin crust with a nice char , not burnt which is a fine line. We needed to be in that small 2 person kitchen at the end of the bar to see how on God's green earth they have perfected this pizza crust!! And who doesn't love cupped pepperonis? I personally feel these should be on every pepperoni pizza instead of those big greasy ones. I just can't say enough about how delicious this was!!!While talking to Phil my husband tells him how we heard about it and that we took the drive to check them out. Phil tells us we have to meet and tell the owners. We met Heather and Christina who were beyond thrilled and sweet to have us there. It's a small world bcs while talking with them we find out that during Covid they didn't want to be locked down in the cold and bought a place 30/40 minutes from us !! They opened the tavern about 2 years ago and just recently purchased the old pool hall next door. They showed us around and it was so cool with an old school vibe with some brown leather couches, pool table and a nice size bar that had just opened that day.If have read this far , THANK YOU! And when in Chicago please go check them out you will not be disappointed I promise!!I am sooo glad and sad that we found this place and believe everything happens for a reason. Glad bcs it was (no joke) the best pizza I have had in a long time and sad bcs I can't stop thinking about it now that I am back home in Tampa!! lolUntil next time“
“Jay and his team are fantastic! This is absolutely one of the nicest bars in the neighborhood, and deserves recognition. We have had our company party here since they opened, and we have not changed venues as it is the best place to book your party!“
“I just moved to Chicago and walked to Randall’s for a Christmas night cap and the 49ers game. WOW! This place is incredible. The bar is clean, cozy, welcoming and has a nice shuffleboard table (I wish more bars had them). Juan, one of the owners, was behind the bar pouring delicious cocktails and was great conversation. I can’t wait to make this my staple watering hole!“
“Been going to The Globe for almost 15 years. Always a great time, but today in particular for the big Arsenal vs. Liverpool match, the staff went above and beyond with a packed house. Service was excellent and patrons both new and old to the pub were very thankful for the wonderful staff and all they do. Felt like the old days :)“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“
“We heard their fries were awesome and had to give it a try. We chose to go around 4pm on a Saturday and beat the dinner crowd, sat at the bar and had speedy service all around. They also have wood bar toppers to give you for food orders at the bar since the way the bar top is originally built isn't the best for eating. There is a decent tap list and their duck fries were as good as claimed. I can't speak for their busier times but when we went it was clean, we were greeted and our food came out quick. Overall, it's worth a try to decide for yourself.“
“I would highly recommend fourteensixteen as it is by far the best restaurant in lagrange. The staff are amazing, the vibes are on point, and the location itself presents itself well. I got the pistachio covered lamb rack when I last went, and it was phenomenal. The dish held up well, the lamb was moist, and the sauces complimented the lamb perfectly. I also had the mango cheesecake, and I can still remember how perfect the cheesecake was. It was a perfect amount of cheesecake flavor to mango flavor. I would highly highly recommend this restaurant as I have yet to see a better one in the surrounding area.“
“Paraphrasing off of a previous review because we feel like it described our experience perfectly. Welcoming owners, fantastic beer selection, dog friendly, plenty of tv’s, overall great local vibe. Definitely a local business worth supporting.“
“We found this bar a while ago and really dont want to go anywhere else now. Food is great along with the service and plenty of parking. Highly Recommend!Parking: This place has huge parking in the back and on side of the buildingKid-friendliness: Place is family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: All bathrooms and space is ADA compliant“
“The service is ALWAYS warm and welcoming! I so appreciate that. The food is always good…have yet to be disappointed! And I LOVE that you serve alcohol for days that a person just might need a drink to relax! Frida’s is a reliable spot in Evanston for excellent service and great food! Please don’t change…please keep a great staff and great food!“
“Hi guys, just wanna let you guys know the garage bar in sandwiches is a great spot to have food. The service was OK. Not the best but the food makes everything better. Unfortunately the drinks were trash. I shouldn’t say trash because that’s understatement. They are horrible they taste nothing but syrup don’t get drinks or specialty drinks here get anything on tap that was better, good luck“
“Excellent old school Ukrainian Village bar. No sign on the front which is already a good sign (no pun intended). Great drink prices and great bartender, Clayton. Had a Bell's Two-Hearted, bought a t-shirt and continued my bar crawl. Great first stop.“
“Cody's is a great time. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Although it can get very crowded on the weekends, if you can claim a spot by a dart board or the pool table, you won't want to leave. It's also worth mentioning that the back patio is a very chill vibe on summer nights. The only thing keeping me from giving Cody's 5 stars is that if you go earlier in the day, you will find adults who bring their children who will often times run around unattended. Cody's is also pet friendly which is awesome. However after having a few drinks, it becomes worrisome that you can easily step on some of the small dogs that are hard to spot. Overall, Cody's is great.“
“The Auburn sign outside caught our attention, as my favorite cousin is a fan. We decided to give it a shot for lunch, and it was quite enjoyable. We opted to eat at the bar, and the design is very neat. The bar is covered in vintage pictures taken in the area. They have a fair amount of beers to choose from. The burger I had was tasty, and the seasoned fries were awesome. I'd come back for the fries alone! They have many TV screens that were playing a wide variety of sports. This would be a great place to catch a game. The inside is quite spacious. Located right off the Brown Line, the location is great for those relying on public transportation.“
“Solid sports bar with an Irish twist, they've got darts, skeeball, and a few other games. Food is surprisingly good and the drink menu is solid.Layout wise it feels like they've got two bars with the center wall cut out. Makes for a lot of space and great throughput on drink service.Well worth your time if you're looking for a sports pub.“
“The Black Sheep Bar is an absolute hidden gem that exceeded all expectations. The 9-foot diamond pool table was a highlight of our visit, providing a unique and enjoyable gaming experience. Amy, the bartender, was not only incredibly sweet but also showcased an impressive knowledge of the extensive drink menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, making our evening all the more enjoyable. Meeting the owner, Silva, was a pleasant surprise, adding a personal touch to our experience. The Black Sheep Bar is a must-visit for those seeking a fantastic atmosphere, exceptional service, and a touch of authenticity.“
“Stella's is the perfect divey Ukrainian Village gem. Great mix of typical beers/booze plus some polish staples, yum. Stella herself is the real reason to visit, she is the absolute best. There's games, boppin touch tunes, and pups are allowed! What more could you want in a bar?“

“The food here is amazing! You will not be disappointed. The menu is homemade from scratch and you can tell. I went with a friend and we shared the jalapeño appetizer which was super tasty and the machuquillo which I’d never had before but am now a big fan of- plantain patties with goat cheese and pork. I had the chicken kebabs which were perfectly cooked with a delicious marinade, full of flavorMy friend had the cochinita Pibil and loved it, so flavorfulWe had the pistachio tres leches cake for dessert- perfect end to the mealThe service was great and it’s got a fun atmosphereI only wish we could eat more, this place is a hidden gem!“
“The Newark Nook is one of the more famous speakeasy's on Chicago's Northwest side. While it is most famous for being Milton S. Hershey's preferred watering hole when he visited Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair, it was also the scene of several gangland shootings in the 1920's, and was built on the site of a civil war battle where famed wild Buffalo hunter, Col. Michael Gallen, was killed. Today the bar is mostly known for its extensive cocktail list and secret lounge area. The food is prepared by a former James Beard award winning chef but is a bit too fancy to my taste, but everything is very nice. The Colonel Gallen Buffalo Nachos are stellar and include a commemorative plate that can be taken home.“
“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.“
“Came here for Samantha’s birthday party November 25th and what more can I say… such a blast. Music and drinks were amazing. Cant say how much the owner Sway takes care of his clients and creates a great atmosphere. Would 100% recommend anyone to come here and have a good time!“
“I have lived by here for over 10 years and never realized this was a pizza place ? needless to say I've been missing out! I went during a super busy March Madness day and ordered to go because it was packed. The service was great I got my pizza fast. I didn't know it was thin crust but I didn't care it was so good. The side salad too was so good. I can't wait to eat here again, it was great. I took one bite and couldn't stop to take a pic, we inhaled it.Parking: You have to find street parking and read the signs, don't even think of parking at Walgreens they towKid-friendliness: Loud and definitely kid friendly sports environment“
“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“
“Personally, Im a sucker for polish food. I get very particular when is comes to my favorite dishes. When i say these dishes were spectacular, i mean it. Definitly will be back again and might bring a couple of my friends. Service and Atmosphere was wonderful. Im am so amazed by how well these entres were prepared. Im so happy that i have now found my new favorite spot.“
“I love this bar so much I started coming here with my friend Liz who works here and it's such a good vibe. No drama good music good drinks and amazing people. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAR come down to tio Juan's for a good time and events“
“The place is nice been going into the place here and there and everytime did not disappoint. The bartenders are very nice and cool, eager to play pool and vibe to make the time well spent. Supporting a female owned bar it's awesome to support.“
“After driving home from a long day, I stopped by for a beer after work. I’ve never been there before and I was just frustrated from traffic. So I stepped inside for an hour. Music was great, sports on TV, drinks were affordable. I would definitely go back!!“
“We had dinner here during our visit to Chicago. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The server made us feel right at home and was so helpful in giving recommendations. I had the steak salad and taco soup and my husband had the carnitas sandwich, all were phenomenal. We had such a good time that we decided to stay and move over to the bar after dinner. Highly recommend and we will be visiting again!“
“Lovely staff and their hyper awareness of the guests' needs make Standard a guaranteed stop for myself and my friends. The manager, Matt and owner Aaron, have dedicated countless hours and accepted customer input to make Standard the best sports bar on Milwaukee. I drink more than I eat when imbibing, but the food that I've had is very good. The staff, Megan, Jelena, Alex, and Vanessa are all exceedingly professional. Standard also has the Marquee Sports network, so I can watch my Cubs here once spring training ends, hopefully sooner then later. Cheers“
“First time hereFood was excellent ??highly recommend ?We stayed for a few drinks and played the slots.. ? ?didn't win but had funI would definitely go back for the food?I Got the Italian beef it was one of the best I ever had ?I love the fact that they pay tribute to the local high school??(I also went to that high school? )Also I'd like to point out the restrooms, when I say they were the nicest and cleanest restrooms I have EVER been in in a tavern I promise you they were!Definitely a local barHad a good timeSorry no photos the food looked so good and I was starving so we dug right in but it was great!Additional parking in back“
“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.“
“I've got a teen, so if course he loves coming here and playing the retro video arcade games for free, and I've always liked their burgers. But I recently had they're fried chicken there and BAM!, as they say. It was REALLY good! So I already had them at 5 stars, but they still went up in my book.“
“I love happy hour and it loves me back!!! I recently visited here to try their happy hour, which runs Monday through Friday, from 5 PM to 7 PM. It includes half off of their pizzas and $10 pitchers; there is also a beer and shot special for $8!My waitress, Sammie, was such a sweetheart and so helpful (ask for her)! She recommended that I try the Music City Melter and I LOVED IT. It had Nashville hot fried chicken, sweet and spicy pickles, white sauce, provolone, and mozzarella cheese, and buttermilk ranch drizzle. The Nashville fried chicken on top was good by itself! But coupled with the flavors of the pizza end it was definitely a winner! I totally understood why Sammie said she could eat one by herself!They have other pizza creations like The Notorious P.I.G., The De Niro, and Frito Pie and everyone knows the wings here never disappoint. AND there are now free games!!!I think you should go every day for happy hour and try a different pizza...... JUST SAYING!!!! Enjoy!“
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. The atmosphere is awesome. I love their bar! I recommend their Irish whiskey coffee cocktail. Is my to go when I arrive. Their pool tables are excellent as well. Check out Siboney restaurant on site too for delicious appetizers and Cuban sandwiches“
“This is the best sandwich shop! You can tell the bread is fresh and the deli meats are freshly sliced. We ordered online for pickup and got a bogo deal through Uber Eats so we didn't have much interaction with the service. On the inside it's a little shop with a bar and limited seating. Luckily we live a half mile away because I will definitely be craving this. Pro tip: add banana peppers to the west sider.“
“My fiancé and I recently hosted our engagement party at Grace and Leavitt and loved every bit of it! It was a perfect venue for our private event of ~50 people. We received many compliments from our guests on the space and cocktail menu. The bartender Jenna was also super helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend G&L!“
“This is my favorite bar in Berwyn. The owners are delightful, and the staff is exceptional. The drinks are reasonably priced and delicious, and their outdoor patio is perfect for all seasons with its heat lamps, games, and friendly atmosphere. Additionally, you're welcome to bring in your own food from one of the fantastic restaurants in the neighborhood.“
“Great sandwiches, beer selection, and shot special in a cozy, local neighborhood setting where, like cheers, everybody knows your name. There are 3 connected businesses here. A package goods liquor store with a great selection and reasonable prices. A sandwich bar with tasty sandwiches, beer, and limited mixed drink options. A draw for locals and visitors alike. The latest addition is a coffee shop, which is clean, white, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. There are limited coffee options in walking distance in this corner of the neighborhood. Coffee is one of the few things I make well, so I can't comment on the third establishment. If like the other 2, I'm sure it's a great early time gathering spot.“
“I used to run a trucking account for a mega carrier that delivered right down the street from here. I'm not lying when I say this is the only bar I've ever drank in. Chicago doesn't allow beer sales in convenience stores I guess. Was recommended that I buy a six pack here. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I tell stories down in Georgia about this place from time to time. It's like a legend to all my friends... None of them can get me to drink in a bar to this day. Cheers guys..“
“I've been going to Finleys for more than ten years at this point, so I guess I should finally get around to leaving a review.I feel like this is one of the only places in the neighborhood where you can go out and experience a fun atmosphere, solid food, reliable service... and not spend a small fortune.Things I really like about Finley Dunnes Tavern:1. 2.50 PBR drafts2. The Ryan Burger, Guinness Brat, Wings, seasoned fries, and to a slightly lesser extent the tavern style pizzas, the Chicago Dog, and the BLT3. They play the sound for whatever the primary sporting event is that night4. Golden tee and darts5. Great folks behind the bar serving up food and drinks who take care of you even when the place is packed6. Oh Yeah Bombs7. The combination of St Patty's Day, March Madness, and their seasonal corned beef sandwichesI'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but TLDR: this is my favorite spot to hang out with friends and/or watch sports in the city of Chicago.Parking: Lots of free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood“
“I spend a lot of time here a lot especially in the summer. I have a specific order and each and every time it's done with perfection. Any where I go to eat I ask to make my food with love and that's what I receive every time. Oh the drinks are amazing as well.“
“Great atmosphere, the staff are friendly, welcoming and engaging. I'll go back just for the customer service. I had their wings and they were very good. I'm definitely trying something different next time. Can't wait to come back.“
“We came here after a zoo day and the entire family enjoyed it. We got the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were both delicious. The fish tacos were great, but the corned beef tacos were out of this world! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon lunch or family dinner.“
“Lived in the neighborhood going on 2 years and have never gone wrong… Don’t feel like cooking ✅ Want something fast✅ Quick drinky drink to unwind ✅ Comfort food? Pizza ✅ Wings ✅ Italian beef ✅ Burgers ✅ Fries, tots, nachos ✅✅✅“
“Seriously you can't find a much better place to have not only drinks and sports events but the food is high end resturant quality ....Seriously! David is not only an entertainer but a great cook.... I would highly recommend being a regular....Oh and the have games too for the gamblers ?“
