50 Best Pubs near Harwood Heights

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Spiteful Brewing Tap room is a relaxed, comfortable space with a wide variety of beers (to drink on premises or take away.)
I had the vienna lager and an IPA. Both were super tasty. My friends and I shared a large pretzel served piping hot with generous dollop of mustard. I am excited to go again soon.“

“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.“

“Good food! Great atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“On the National Register of Historic Architecture, Schuba's Tavern is a gem with an old school, casual ambiance. With about 14 stools at the Bar, and just a smattering of seats at tables around the perimeter, the musical entertainment performance space, the back room, is what the venue is all about. The PA system is upper class, maybe not quite top notch but we'll above average. The house has a Midas console to enable the acoustical engineering staff to manage and control the o“

“This was an amazing place. We have been to several karaoke spots in Chicago and this is by far one of the best. Took my friend here for his birthday with five other people ant the room was amazing and the service was on point. Thank you for the best birthday for my bestie.“

“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!“

“As a tourist the night shift was good. Went during the day got a huge hold in my card for 1 drink. Ordered a second, stepped outside to smoke someone picked up my drink and snaked right after I went outside and the bartender acted like this was a normal thing. Embarrassing! (Edit) The bartender did make an effort to go out of her way to make sure I felt accommodated after the incident and took what I had to say to heart. Preemptive review, exactly that. Not too shabby. Check it out.“

“Gracie O’Mallys provided the best food and drink experience I’ve had in a long time in the city. The atmosphere was fantastic, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service from our server, Tina. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was at the table every few minutes making sure we were NEVER thirsty. She had a smile on her face the entire time and was such a pleasure. I’ve never experienced better service anywhere—highly recommend this place!!!!!“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“The whole place and atmosphere from the bartendars to everyone that goes there. They don't judge you and everyone is welcomed there. You just abide by their rules. Just drink and have a great time.“

“Great atmosphere, very festive. The server was so nice and helpful with suggestions for our meal. She kept checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed.

The fried pickles with their dipping sauce were a fun surprise, really good.

Also, I enjoyed the Burrata pizza. Although it tastes great on it's own it could have used a balsamic glaze to sweeten it a bit. My friend opted for the Kimchi fries (slightly spicy) and the fruit pizza. It looked like a healthy summer salad, covered in feta and fruit, and was told it was pretty good.

Parking was a bit of a struggle. We found street parking behind the location in a residential street.

Great local spot to check out.“

“Great place to eat and drink. And have one of our meetings in the backroom.“

“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.“

Very genuine guy, doesn’t just look for the money but cares for his customers! Def coming back more often !! Deal him once and you will return just for that nice customer service.“

“The atmosphere was rocking. Great crowd , always packed for York dukes football. Unfortunately witnessed non-dukes fans being jerks to the bartenders. Bartenders handled themselves well and kept the party going. Now watch me hit this 290 yard drive.“

“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!“

“Awesome Chicago Dogs and atmosphere! Great waitress and warm, cozy and fun atmosphere!“

“What a great place. Arranged a small goodbye party this past weekend at BP. Virgil helped me to reserve tables in the back and was extremely easy to work with. The service throughout the day was quick and kind, despite a larger group than anticipated. The back patio is always a nice vibe, and prices are fair. One of my favorite spots in Chicago and definitely in Bucktown/Wicker.“

“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 the perfect neighborhood bar. Cash only! Bartenders are friendly and properly trained to make drinks. No food, but you can order door dash or whatever. Good beer list at reasonable prices. Pool Tables are free. Love that this is in walking distance from our house.“

“Tumans is a great spot, nestled in the heart of the Ukrainian Village, at all times of day. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is top notch. Personally, I do not think there is a food establishment that the servers and bartenders seem like great friends, both with each other and with patrons. The atmosphere is heartwarming!The whole crew- Joe, Sarah, Michelle , Mario, etc, never cease to really care about those they serve. Sarah is so efficient, prompt, and gets every detail down to a science. She is the epitome of a great server and her passion for making everyone feel special does not go unnoticed. Tumans is such a special place!“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“This is one of my favorite neighborhood bars. We love the atmosphere here; there’s always good music, good company, and popcorn! My husband and I love this place so much that we actually booked the bar for our wedding after party. Our guests absolutely loved the space and the service was fantastic! Special shoutout to Sean - he’s always a ray of sunshine and makes sure you’re taken care of.“

“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“

“Worth it for the Youtube Poop Pilgrimages and the DINNER
You will not want to say SQUADALA, We Are Off! after eating here
My boy, the food here is what all true warriors strive for!
10/10 would spadinner again
they should offer a bag of plums though“

“I’m really looking forward to attending again soon. The food is always exceptional, especially the ribs! I'm excited to experience the spoken word events – the storytelling has been unforgettable in the past, and I can't wait to make more unforgettable memories!“

“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.“

“Super nice peeps- dog stuff so it’s a keeper. Just go“

“Last time we had the wings they were delicious, this Thursday they were dry, like they were sitting under a heat lamp and then tossed in sauce Disappointed. Had a BLT it was good! Husband had the chicken panini. It was delicious. Yes, we highly recommend going here. I think that the wait staff needs some more training. 👍“

“Great food, great service, a different game on each television“
