“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.“

“Fantastic experience. Food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back.“

“The sign says established in 1932, and every time I've driven by, I think I need to stop in. I finally did, and am kicking myself for wasted time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The large bar and restaurant seating is comfortable and spacious. There is a variety of beers on tap, served in well-frosted glasses. We sat at the bar and I had one of the best burgers I've ever had, served with homemade chips. It was so good that I almost returned with another companion the next day!“

“The app was having an issue so I had to call and place my order I dread calling places but Kenyea answered the phone and was so nice! She sounded happy and glad to help me. When I went in to pick up my order Nehemiah was at the register and was smiling greeted me asked if I was placing an order or if I was doing pick up. He was friendly. He seemed happy just the whole atmosphere was really good. They both gave me really good customer service and just the atmosphere alone between the employee seemed to be happy which you really don’t see much in restaurants anymore. The food was great also!“

“We have been going there for over a year on the first Friday of every month to see the free live music! It is always a great time and family friendly. The kids really get into the music. The band is excellent, providing music of all genres. If they have live music every Friday, we would be there every Friday! The staff is great and the food above average! See you the first Friday of every month!“

“Very nice comfortable place“

“The best food , the best service ,the best place to enjoy 👍👍“

“Great local restaurant with ties to the community, excellent cocktails and delicious food. The owners are invested in having a quality place and constantly seem to be improving the cocktails and food. Awesome wings too! Can't wait to come for football season!“

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“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.“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

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

“Fun place with nice people.“

“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 🍻“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Superb and sevice was wonderful“

“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!“

“Always a great time at O’Donnells!!“

“Great food, drinks and friendly bartenders!“

“A fantastic sports bar to watch Premier League football. Caught up with a friend to watch some games and each tv televised a different game, allowing you to watch multiple at once or just a safe option to watch your own team. Will definitely be back to catch more EPL!“

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

“best thin crust pizza any where.big complaint.ordered potato skins.would never do that again.very little bacon on them and no chopped green onion.if you can't do it right don't do it at all“

“Super fun old school experience“

“I really wish I could give them a better rating but they for some reason decided to give my friends and I the run around. 1st of all, they sent me an email to spend my birthday there. I could invite guests, I would get a 1 hour open bar, my friends get $1 off drinks, birthday cupcakes and a $25 gift card. Also free tickets to a show and 1 for 2 for friends. We show up, they told me they knew all about my birthday and the show. We arrived about 45 minutes before the show to enjoy the drinks. When we are sat I am given 3 tickets. I was told these are for my drinks and to give them when ordering. I ask if it's only 3 and he said it was just 3 to start with and could get more. So we are sitting, having a good time. I used all 3 drink tickets in about 40 minutes (it's my bday and an open bar! Duh!) When we get moved over to the show, our new waiter said that I only get 3. So I went to our old one and let him know what he said, he told me he would check on it. He never did, even when I went up to ask again. When I went back to the show area, I talked to someone who looked like the manager (who I now believe is the owner Brian) about needing another drink and he said, "well we give 3 tickets because that's how much people usually drink in an hour". I said "okay, I get that. But I've had 3 and the hour isn't over, I have 20 minutes." And he said he would allow me to only have 1 more.... I'm sorry, but that is not an open bar. You shouldn't advertise an open bar if you're only allowed to have 3. Fix your advertisement. When we finished up the fabulous show, we noticed 2 drinks on our bill that were not ours. We went to our waiter and told him those were not our drinks. He got snippy with us saying, "well they were on your bill, I don't know what you guys ordered up front". And we told him we weren't accusing him of anything. It's possible up front someone's drinks were accidentally added, it's fine. We just want them off our bill. And so he and the owner for some reason debated over this for 5 minutes as we waited. We went over every drink we had and none of us ordered a captain and coke. They finally, begrudgingly, took it off. We paid, and we left. It wasn't until a day or 2 later I realized we never got the cupcakes or the $25 gift card. I emailed the woman, Cheryl Snodgrass, who I was in contact with about the planning about it and she was disappointed because she said they knew about me coming in and she would check. She finally got back to me and told me that when I was there, I asked the owner to use my $25 gift card for my bill. Ummmm....what??? No, I paid full price for my extra drinks and my food. That never happened. She also commented "you may not remember, which means you were having a really good time!!!" I'm sorry, now you're accusing be of being drunk so I'm not remembering? I had 3 other people with me and all of them remember the experience and not once did I even bring up the $25 gift card! I completely forgot about it until I emailed. I replied to her email letting her know that was not true, and to please get back to me and she has now ignored 3 of my emails. I'm not sure what the problem is...maybe they didn't like that I called them out on their open bar NOT being an open bar? The fact that we didn't want to pay for 2 drinks we didn't order? I'm sorry, but this is NOT how you treat a customer for a birthday event that you would want them to tell friends and come back for. It's really a shame because the shows are great, but there's no way I'm coming back after the crap they pulled. Keep the $25 gift card. Shady management is a bad look. Brian and Cheryl get an F.“

“Great Drinks and Food is delicious!“

“The environment is very low-key, laid back and very warm! The bartenders were quick to check on us and ask if we needed anything, and LOVE the free pool table for the month of October! The food is, without question, the BEST part. We got cheese curds for the table that didn't last longer than 2 minutes (we devoured them, not a single crumb lived to tell the tale). Chef made sure the four of us all got our food at the same time (such a thoughtful perk)! The proverbial cherry on top, was the name of the game. Their BURGERS. Good God. I love a burger that leaves you abandoning the napkins-- too mouthwatering to put it down! Everything is done with love and you can *taste* it. The bourbon onions and bacon??! UGH phenomenal. I've been there a couple times already, and am counting down the days for my next visit! Thank you Trinity Pub and JEM SMASH Burgers! You have 4 new fans :,)“

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

“Good experience with service & food!“

“When our daughter chose your place for her birthday dinner we were skeptical. From the time we walked in until hours later we enjoyed every minute. The service and food were great. Thank you!“

“Fun atmosphere & bar! Great food. Lots of tv’s…“

“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!“

“Incredible cocktailscare about cocktails“

“everyone was accepting and pleasant and welcoming“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
