“There food was really good and a friendly atmosphere. I don’t recommend having large groups.“

“On Saturday a very busy UFC fight our server was Jay - he said everything was crazy busy but he was still personable and attentive. We waited a really really long time for our food. We ordered a some wings for a 4 person group. Finally we lost patience and I asked for the manager and met Mark. He quickly apologized and got our food order out and gave a credit on our bill which was the right thing to do. I wanted to give him credit that he made the situation right to take care of the customer.“

“$20 bottomless wings on Monday and $10 pizzas for happy hour (5-7 PM). Great deal! Amazing service! Did not get the waiter's name but we loved his positive energy!

Small caveat is that the wing sauces were sauced inconsistently. Some batches were super saucy, others a bit drier. Standout flavors were honey miso and truffle parm.“

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

“I went Saturday Jan 24 (just after the snow started) to watch the Unrivaled games. Every seat was occupied but I quickly found an empty one at the bar and it made my night! Made a friend next to me and the bartender introduced us to the game “split the B” where you take one sip of Guinness to try and get your drink to the middle of the B on their branded glass. I won! They have non-alcoholic Guinness and other beers/cocktails which is a plus for me. Very friendly staff! Will go next time I visit from Philly!“

“Very nice comfortable place“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“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 🍻“

“A legendary local bar in making.....great vibe...and has different nights that include live music..and Fyi the dj spins vinyl on certain Saturday nights ..also great place to watch your favorite Chicago sports team... definitely one of my favorite places...to go with friends....a bar you can go to alone and end making friends with other locals in the area...also they have a pool table...that is well taken care of ..so if ya like pool...this place is great to meet other players..“

“Great service good food the games were too loud we tried sitting in the corner because we went here to talk and catch up but we were told we had to sit in the crowded area so they could fit more people. would have been okay if the TV wasnt blaring right by us and the group next to us were SCREAMING for the sports.

Only went here because my pets name is Sully not a first pick unless I can try the roof top in the summer.“

“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!“

“Gracie’s is the perfect neighborhood spot to have a cold brew with your friends! Popcorn and darts just add to the lively atmosphere. However, the best part of Gracie’s is when Danny is behind the bar! He pours the perfect Guinness and is just a joy to be around, definitely stop by Gracie’s, you won’t regret it!“

“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!“

“Headquarters offers an amazing experience for a night out. The aesthetic is everything you’d expect-retro and laid back, with lots to do. Best part? Mostly free games. Their cocktail menu was top tier and staff were helpful. Can’t recommend enough! If you’re looking for something to do, pay em a visit.“

“Best place to eat in Chicago! I started going there when the owner became a client of the company I was working for in the mid-90s, setting up cash registers in the restaurant he opened for his nephew. I no longer live in Chicago, but make it a point to stop there and speak with the owner every chance I get. Always great food and exceptional service! You may have to wait in line, though. Understandably, it's a very popular place!“

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

“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“

“Edelweiss Tavern is a cozy, classic neighborhood bar with a welcoming vibe. The drinks menu has a solid selection of beers, cocktails, and spirits, and everything is served promptly by friendly, attentive staff. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, perfect for a casual night out with friends or catching up over a drink. The tavern has a charming, old-school feel that adds to its character. A great spot for anyone looking for a relaxed, no-frills neighborhood bar experience in Avondale.“

“Excellent Bar for a pre game drink & chicago dog before a Cubs game.“

“Such a cozy atmosphere! Our bartender, Austin was so attentive and kind, handling packed whole bar with ease.

The food is UNBELIEVABLE - JEM Smashburgers are absolutely the best I've had! Chef Emily & Chef Johnny are so gifted and passionate about everything they serve, and have such a unique menu along with the regular favorites :)

I usually love to include pictures with my reviews, but unfortunately our burgers and loaded fries were gone in seconds - can't recommend JEM/Trinity enough!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Always a great time at O’Donnells!!“

“I really like Four Shadows. The bar has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It is a great place to watch sports because there are many TVs and a lively crowd. The food is tasty, especially the wings, the spicy chicken wrap, and the sweet potato tots. The drinks menu is good, with a variety of beers and cocktails. The staff are very nice and attentive, making you feel at home. The bar has a strong sense of community, and you can tell the owner cares about the customers. It can get busy during game days, but that makes the experience even more exciting. Overall, Four Shadows is a fun place to relax, enjoy good food, and watch your favorite teams. I will definitely come back again.“

“I came here today on my lunch break to grab a burger. Let’s start off by saying the gentleman behind the bar was so kind as soon as walked in the door. The vibe was great! I’ll definitely be back soon when I’m not working to grab a bite and a drink inside.

So the food was great!!!!“

“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.“

“we spend alot of time at luries children's hospital with our son that is battling cancer and while out walking my husband and I came across this place. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is amazing, the drinks are great and the food is so good. I love their wings the best.“

“Nice energetic atmosphere with a good bottomless brunch. I would suggest coming with a group and enjoying some sports! Friendly staff, and very hospitable!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Wasn't even a customer and still got the best service I ever received from a restaurant. Pulled into the lot with a flat tire and everyone in the middle of winter and everyone jumped in to help without a question. Will definitely be back!“

“Great Drinks and Food is delicious!“

“Excellent Bar for a pre game drink & chicago dog before a Cubs game.“

“A really nice place to get some fun practice in. We were just walking by to see what it looked like and Devin gave us a free 30 minute voucher. We’ll be sure to stop back in the next time we’re in Chicago as while as check out your Cincinnati location!“

“You want a bar that has a live DJ, dance competitions, SHOT O’CLOCK, raffles, great vibes, and amazing customer service? Everything from the servers, especially our favorite Larissa*, all the way up to
Leadership, the best Chicago bar GM Elena — Gracie O’Malley’s is it. Come through for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Our volleyball team, Serving Realness, comes here after our volleyball games to eat good and watch DA BEARS! We will continue to come and support our local bar. We might even try to get sponsored by the bar and rep Gracie O’Malleys on our jerseys. We may serve realness, but they’ll serve you all the drinks and eats you need. Come through neeeeoooowwwwww! You won’t be disappointed.“

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

“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.“

“I stopped by The Tin Lizzie and it instantly felt like a true neighborhood bar — relaxed, unpretentious, and full of character. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with a solid mix of locals grabbing drinks and people settling in for comfort food.

I ordered a burger with fries, and it hit exactly the way you want it to: juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without trying too hard. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. It’s simple food done right.

The drink selection is strong too, especially if you’re just looking for a cold beer or an easy cocktail to wind down. Overall, The Tin Lizzie feels dependable and laid-back — the kind of place you can return to again and again when you just want good food and an easygoing atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Friendly bartender . It was so funny“
