“We stopped in since we were attending The Family Feud Night in their hall. The restaurant was packed and they found seating quickly for me and my husband. We both enjoyed the battered cod and I had breaded shrimp too. All the menu prices looked reasonably but then again we aren't alcohol drinkers at meal time so are billing is always reasonable. We live 1/2 mile away so we definitely will be back. The hostess was very accommodating and our waitress was prompt since we shared we will be attending The Family Feud event ~ in which made it a fun date night ?
Now that event area had bar services and the kaluha and creams were delicious !!! ?“

“Mugsy's is a great and lively local tavern. Chill vibes, great people, amazing bartenders and service, and a wonderful back patio. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out if your in Forest Park or nearby..

Parking: There's a small 3 or 4 car lot behind the bar, but there's also free parking on the street and it's not hard to find a spot near the bar.“

“Love this place! Classic dive bar and I mean that in the best possible way. I stop in with my friend Keith who is somewhat of a regular. Next thing you know, I'm volunteering to check IDs at the 100th Anniversary bash. They make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. A must stop for anyone who loves old school bars.“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“Really good Breakfast fresh Corned Beef hash.“

“Better than expected. I enjoyed the jalapeno cheddar brat and my daughter loved the pretzel and the cheese filled polish sausage.Beer selection, though limited and bottle only, included some European beers which went well with the food.It's more of a gambling facility than a restaurant, but it was good for what it was.Service was excellent and prices were half off when we went so it was quite inexpensive which provided great value for what we got.“

“Our first visit very delishes food reminds me of the friends who lived in the Italian neighborhood here in Chicago. Thank you all! Ed & Peg“

“Such a fun place to go to great prices and great people always a good time“

“Best bar on the south side......... owners are really nice and there awesome :)“

“The bar tender on Sunday mornings is amazing and he is very handsome and charming“

“This place isn't all that different from any other place, because it's just like a regular neighborhood bar, but every single time I've gone here I've ended up with amazing stories. So don't go here for the bar, go here for the atmosphere & the interesting people that you'll randomly meet. Also, the staff has always been an incredibly nice and friendly, so bonus!“
