“I am a great bartender 🍺 🎧 DJ MA 🎧“

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“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!!“

“Awesome bar for starters. The people, the vibe, and the drinks are all top-notch. There’s a little sweetheart named Katie who works weekends—she’s incredibly down-to-earth and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. Honestly, she treats us like family.

I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a laid-back South Side pub with great energy, this is the spot.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cork & Kerry is a Southside iconic pub. It has a great atmosphere, beer & drink selection. The service is great. It's the type of place you will run into someone you know. They don't serve food there, but they will let you bring it in. There is a great party room for any occasion. There is plenty of room for at least 75 people comfortably. You can bring in your own decorations, food, and desserts. They will let you run an open bar tab or customize the occasion to your price range. Parking can be tricky depending on what day of the week you visit. There is only free street parking. You may have to drive to a side street unless it's not busy. Overall, Cork & Kerry is a great Southside Irish bar to visit.“

“Great music and awesome pint of Guinness“

“Magoo's is letting the band Malinche play on August 25th knowing that a member of that band, Calvin Hobbes, is a rapist. Watch out for businesses that won't watch out for you ladies.“

“The young bartender guy is super nice. Wife didn’t know what to drink and he made a drink that she LOVED. I even tried it and I loved it! 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.“

“Wow what an experience, we was visiting from the UK and had to see the famous bar, instantly we was welcome. Food was amazing, the bartenders was so lovely and even let my son go behind the bar for a photo. Really friendly ❤️ locals was really nice too x Thank you“

“such sweet owners! they helped me celebrate my 20th birthday last year with the sign and some catered food, and this year (i have covid☹️) they gave drinks on the house for my family who went to celebrate in honor of me! i can't wait to come visit once i'm out of quarantine!!“

“Great food and fun times . Yevette is my favorite bartender .“

“Impressed with the food, wine list and service every time we go. Had a delicious lunch today. Steak Sandwich, Turkey Bacon Melt & Grown up Grilled Cheese with brisket & those Truffle fries were fantastic.“

“A lot of fun, great 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.“

“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.“

“By far the best bar when it comes to service, they are very attentive and always greet you with a smile! The bartenders are lovely and definitely help create a fun and positive atmosphere🩷 Highly recommend!“

“Food was great very nice inside great party room also!!!“

“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.“

“The new management is wonderful! My husband and I have been patroning McNally's since we moved to the area. We were sad when they announced they were closing at the end of 2024, but THRILLED when they reopened under new management in 2025.

Staff are very friendly, and their private event space is perfect! I recently held my baby shower there and the space had everything I could have asked for. Plenty of tables for both seating, food/deserts, and gifts. Management was very responsive to booking the space and answering questions. 10/10 would host another event there.“
