30 Best Pubs near Mccook

“Although the baked clams were good, it was hard to come to a decision as the menu was a bit all over. Definitely need to try the pizza. Looked yummy. The atmosphere was lively and fun. We were there on a busy Saturday- service was good, but could have used a bit more attention.“

“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.“

“This was our first time in as we just moved to the neighborhood and we loved it! We had come from dinner but decided we wanted some snacks. We had the fried pickles, pretzels, & ice cream with churros-- I was surprised but oh so happy they had some kind of dessert. The bartender was a super nice guy-- very friendly. He checked on us often and never left us waiting for anything. The interior was really cute and about what you expect for a corner/ neighborhood bar. We will for sure be back-- so glad we gave it a try!“

“True Italian cooking in a bar like setting, has a private side room away from the bar and outdoor seating weather permitting. Long time established bar that has been remodeled to make it more family friendly.Parking: Newly asphalt parking lot that can get full, but street parking is close by.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots right by entrance and no stairs inside.“

“I go here 2-3 times a week to sing, drink and mingle with every customer. Everyone talks to you and the staff is the greatest line up anywhere. They love their customers and they like to have fun, as I have seen them dance to karaoke or just being silly with each other. The front deck is amazing and I can't wait for the fun meals once the kitchen is finished. I used to make this a once a year place, but now it is a must stop everytime if out for drinks. Thank you Eileen, Theresa, Karen, Darla and Tracy for making me feel welcome.“

“This was my first time at Clancy's on 95th. It was clean and comfortable. The ladies behind the counter were delightful and easy going. A friend invited me to join her and a handful of her friends, to watch Billy Gray perform (he was fabulous with his deep voice. I listen to country music every once and awhile, but Billy had me moving my feet and tapping the table top to the music.)and we had a wonderful time. The beers were reasonably priced ($4 or $16 for a bucket of five. They give you wooden tokens to collect a cold beer when you are ready or the bucket if you prefer. My friend ordered a ham and cheese sandwich that was delicious and came with fries or in-house made potato chips. I would definitely go back.“

“Amazing little bar tucked behind Midway airport. Best Polish food around! Pierogis are to die for! Goulash soup, potato pancakes,& more! They have a Polish sampler platter that has a taste of everything you could want!! Go! Eat! Enjoy!!“

“They only serve lunch only during the weekdays (no dinner and no weekends). However it is the best lunch around! It's like your mom went in the kitchen and made it for you. Soups are made from scratch and they are delicious. The BLT on rye is outstanding. And if they have it, you have to try the potato salad. This is a bar with a Northwoods atmosphere that has affordable prices but there are some tables to sit at. They also have a Friday fish special.“

“We came for Valentines to try the food and beer. The menu is simple and to the point. We both had smash burgers. Let me tell you, the burger was delicious. I went with the double and it was huge. I'll get the single smash burger next time. The cheese curd basket with ranch was really good. The atmosphere is chill, the food is yummy and reasonably priced. Oh and the beer on tap was nice and cold. Definitely coming again to try the pizza ? ?“

“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint. Sláinte?“

“I didn't expect much when we stopped in on a Sunday right around lunchtime and no one was there other than a few in the bar. We ended-up very pleasantly surprised as the menu was quite extensive and everyone could find something to eat. We had two people get personal thin pizzas and one kid burger sliders and one adult chicken Parm sliders. Add a few cups of soup and some sodas and we were set. The chicken was very tasty and you got three good size ones with fries so I had one left to send for lunch with the kids. The waitress was lovely and understanding of kids who took forever to choose! We will definitely be back!“

“Admittedly was a skeptic of all the roaring reviews, but they are merited. Our server Alyssa was great - and convinced my wife to get the 1lb burger which she raved about, along with the warm, soft bread. I ordered the chili (temp hot and spicy hot) and the chicken piccata, and both were great. Healthy old fashions in a “your grandma’s basement” kind of vibe. Excited to go back.“

“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.“

“Stumbled on the polish food buffet today. So so good. The owner is right here and everything is home made. The beef barley soup was outrageously delicious. The potato pancake was very flavorful. The chicken breast amazing. Cabbage & Sausage delicious. Everything was great!“

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“Visiting from Virginia and was looking for that Chicago cuisine everyone raves about. Well this place exceeds expectations. The curb appeal is gorgeous. The staff are amazing. Pete makes an amazing blue cheese dirty martini. I’m very particular about my martinis and he overdelivered. So the food. They have created an environment where bar meets fine dining. The presentation, the taste…impeccable. We had the hummus and garlic parm wings…they did not disappoint. Then the presentation for the burger with their logo stamped in the bun was the finishing touch. Definitely in our top ten across the country.“

“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.“

“one of my favorite bars. The atmosphere is mixed a mini utopia of sorts. I like that they have TouchTunes (jukebox) which allows you to play your favorite song without passing a aux cord. it’s a chill vibe. I’ve never had a bad experience here. drinks and prices are decent. The service is bomb Fee always holds it down and is very attentive to customer needs. There’s pool, a patio and bar games.“

“Kalina, Lucy, jamie, Betsy, and Marlee are the best servers. Kalina has been my waitress and bartender for years now and she always makes sure that I have the best time. Lucy has the best smile. Marlee knows how to keep the energy happy and Betsy is the absolute sweetest. I love coming here“

“This is a nice restaurant. Little out dated on the decor and the windows are very drafty during the winter time, air pours in them so you don't want to sit next to them if you want to stay warm. But they have really good soup. I had stuffed pepper soup and it was very yummy. Wish I got a whole bowl instead of a cup. The waitress was very friendly.“

“This is a nice little place with friendly staff and an engaged owner that is always working on improvements to the building and business. You can carry food in, or they have frozen pizzas from a nearby place called Waterworks. I have had Waterworks pizza and it is an excellent thin crust pizza, but never tried their take-and-bake variety.“

“Omg!! First time going there, walked in, and everyone in the bar said hello. Very friendly bar and grill. Food off the chain. Excellent!! Fish was great, burger was great. Very clean place. Friendly service. Bartender was so nice. Can't wait to go back. Im getting the fried chicken!! Highly recommend this place!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!!“

“This is a pretty good bar. Every time I've been here the staff and patrons have all been nice. The bars seems to be clean. I haven't tired the food here yet, but when I do I'll update my review. If you want a cold beer, then it's not a bad place to come to.“

“we were at a wedding that had an after party that was changed at the last minute to this bar. Our bar tender Odette, was amazing. She handeled the whole party of 50+ with such grace and ease. The service at this bar is exceptional. Thank you for making the night fantastic for our group!“

“Lots of fun and laughs , a very enjoyable and affordable club , bartenders were speedy and knowledgeable on latest drinks . Definitely a neighborhood staple . Also plenty of parking and an incredible beer garden . A must visit place on the west side of Chicago.“

“The best time in Chicago! DJ sabado was spinning & we met all our friends here, the vibe was intimate and the space was set up perfectly. The ambiance was classy, with plants and foliage and lots of wood finish everywhere. We got there around 1030 & had no issues getting tables which are first come first serve, but the music had us mostly standing and dancing anyway! It did get full though near 12.I had the Milagro (margarita) and it was incredible. 3 was all i needed for the entire night to keep the vibe going, they weren't too sweet or too strong, just right. The music kept changing and gave a little bit of everything which was exactly what the crowd wanted. Hip hop, reggaeton & Latin trap, r&b etc. & People weren't afraid to dance, strangers were hyping each other up, the whole place even danced together when well-known songs came on.The bathrooms were relatively clean (for a bar) and the lines for them never got too long. We didn't have to wait outside in the cold to get in and finding street parking wasn't mission impossible. And to top it all off, it's right next door to a Taco Bell to feed your munchies when you leave after a night of drinking Love this place, will be back 1000%We had the most amazing time“

“Cool bar. They have slot machines, bathrooms at both end of the bar, a cute little gazebo outside that's enclosed with a TV that's very nice. A lot of different drinks and just a nice little atmosphere. The only thing negative was the bartender was hard to trackdown. Either she was outside smoking or in the back talking on the phone. Waiting for her to serve us was a long time. She was nice but not very efficient. But I will say I do recommend this bar“

“I was surprised by how good the food is just because this place is definitely more of a bar than a grill. We all enjoyed our meals, and the service was excellent. The prices are fair, and it would be a great place to come check out sports or some live music. They also have some slot machines.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options besides salads, but I believe they have a few.Kid-friendliness: Kids are certainly welcome and they have a kids menu, but it is really close to an actual bar.“

“Went there for a first date last night and had an amazing time! If you're looking for a lively, fun spot, this is definitely the place to go. Make sure to see Amber behind the bar she's an absolute rockstar and helped make our night so enjoyable.“

“I nearly missed reviewing this place... back in April I had just arrived from a horribly long overseas flight. My friends were kind enough to take me to this pub for some dinner and we were pleased at our food and dining experience. When you walk in you are met with traditional Irish decor, and a lovely fireplace in the dining area. Very welcoming and clean. I liked it immediately. Heather H. waited on us and was very friendly and helpful with making some dinner suggestions. It is a very cute interior and warm environment. My friends got Guiness of course and I was pleased to see they had a surprisingly good selection of white wine, so I opted for a glass of the Joel Gott sauvignon blanc ($9.25). I was starving and got the Wild Alaskan blackened salmon ($19.95) MM MMM with a side Salad and OH YES house made blue cheese dressing to die for. Very generous portion of fish, perfectly cooked.My friends shared a basket of crinkle cut fries ($5), curry sauce ($3.50) and Irish sausage ($6), plus Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls ($7.95). The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the food is really good. The dinner menu has a very impressive selection, a little bit of everything.“
