Went here last night to watch a football game and had a great time. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was fun. Unfortunately, it was very cold inside, so I ended up leaving at halftime. I’ll definitely be back in the spring when the weather is warmer and I can stay longer.

Duffer’s Pub is one of those places that instantly feels like your go-to neighborhood spot. The atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and comfortable — nothing pretentious, just a solid place to unwind. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Even on busy nights, service stays quick and they never miss a beat.

The food is honestly better than you’d expect from a pub. The wings come out hot and flavorful,...

Cory and Cheyenne are amazing servers very hospitable and the environment is great. Been coming here for a while and I wouldn’t go to another bar in north Chicago. You should definitely come to duffers. The best bar in Chicago.
