Pubs near Lyons

“I have known the owner and his entire family for over 4 and a half decades and I called to surprise him because I had just talked to him on his personal phone and so I knew he would be there. i asked to speak to him, she hung up on me. I tried calling back,only to find I could not even connect. The bartender (I use the word loosely) stated she has been working there 12 F'N Years. . The manager Dawn was kind enough to call me back. I have been to so many events that I feel insulted, embarrsed for the owner who I happen to cherrish and adore. Tom Arelene and his ENTIRE FAMILY. It's a great neighborhood place. I lived very near by and felt safe coming and going walking by myself. the food is superb! i would highly recommend!!!!!“

“Definitely forgot how chill this place is. Some days its a younger crowd, some are wiser crowds; luckily I can play tunes with both crowds and still relax.Good prices, Good service and a pool table. Slots have done me good too as long as I don't get greedy so enjoy.“

“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!“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service!“

“I’ve never been to a more welcoming bar, even the customers go out of their way to say hello, we’ll definitely be back!“

“We recently had a party at Clancy’s. Everything was excellent! The bartenders were awesome and so was the food! Huge thank you to Katie and Kevin for being so accommodating! Definitely consider Clancy’s for your next party!“

“My experience at this bar was in the late 70s and early 80s. My husband, Michael and his partner Micky owned this place when my husband was in medical school. There was one of many brawls here that were just hilarious. One in February when the entire bar cleared into the street and “dibs” chairs were thrown everywhere. The police showed up and everyone was back in the bar like nothing happened. It had a liquor rack over the square bar. There was a neighborhood Elvis impersonator dancing on the bar. All at once the liquor rack crashed onto the bar. My husband proposed to me there. Always something with a cast of characters. I’m sure it’s very different now. Great memories ??“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“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!!“

“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 ? ?“

“You can't go wrong with Tuman's. I've been coming here for over 15 years. Underrated burgers and an incredibly well curated beer selection. It's a great place. They even have outdoor seating when it's warm. You can bring your dog and enjoy an afternoon outside“

“Great neighborhood bar. Really good bar food and service. The wings are perfectly crunchy. I'm betting double fried. 14 beer taps and some TVs.Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burger and a panini, hummus, and your typical fried veggie options.“

“This is one of those really cool, hip yet chill neighborhood bars. There's very little drama and it's just very fun. Matthew, the bartender, is a big part of it being a wonderful place. He's a terrific bartender and it's evident by watching him that he just cares so much about the patrons and Goldie's doing well. Plus, he's a great mixologist, so it's a lot of fun to watch him do his thing. Overall, it's a place I am so happy that I discovered. Dog friendly, too!“

“What great food! What nice people! Can’t wait to go back.“

“The Cabin is a delightful neighborhood bar, that’s a cut above in cleanliness and decor. Staff are friendly and safety-focused, and the regulars care about the space and its patrons as though it were a second home. The Cabin has created a real sense of Community. Highly “

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

“Awesome place. Good food, good beer list and great bartenders!“

“Wow the Ribs were delicious and the pasta and the waitress was friendly and great i would recommend this place and the dessert and coffee were superb“

“Solid sports bar with an Irish twist, they've got darts, skeeball, and a few other games. Food is surprisingly good and the drink menu is solid.Layout wise it feels like they've got two bars with the center wall cut out. Makes for a lot of space and great throughput on drink service.Well worth your time if you're looking for a sports pub.“

“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.“

“Went by this place a million times. All the signage out front caught my eye. Stopped in and got a sandwich one day. It was pretty large and felt like it was a sandwich my mom would make for me. I want to go back and have a few beers and check out some hot food sometime.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My fiancé and I recently hosted our engagement party at Grace and Leavitt and loved every bit of it! It was a perfect venue for our private event of ~50 people. We received many compliments from our guests on the space and cocktail menu. The bartender Jenna was also super helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend G&L!“

“great little neighborhood bar. recommend coming in for a beer or cocktail.“

“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.“

“Food is great ( had corn beef dinner and fish and chips. Seasoned well and hearty portions. Fish fried perfectly.) atmosphere friendly welcoming and fun. My new Irish spot. Large space and great for large parties. Family friendly as well. Nice touch w/ the board games and books. Def recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was on the other side last night. Now I know why everyone loves Donna,the service was great, she made me and my family feel special. Food was great as always ❤️“

“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.“

“Great place to grab a libation after a Wrigley Field event.“

“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!“

“Their food is great and is just an awesome spot with a lot of charm and friendly faces.“

“Such a small place gets very crowded but good music.“

“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“

“Chill spot good prices great staff“

“Love the bartenders...great place to unwind...they treat the regulars and newbies just the same!!“

“We absolutely love Docs, they have amazing food, amazing drinks and THE BEST service. We’ve been there a dozen times and always had stellar service. Very recently we met their GM, Amber and it became instantly clear that the service was a direct trickle down effect from her leadership. Amber went way above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We recently got a new puppy and she made sure he had water and even chopped up some carrots for him which are his favorite. She was constantly talking to guests and moving people around the patio to ensure they had shade and were comfortable. Her dedication to guest service is truly refreshing and very rare in the post Covid restaurant industry. We will certainly be back again and again because of her.“

“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!!“

“On this night, we visited our local Iowa Hawkeye bar, Gracie O’Malley’s to enjoy some NCAA women’s basketball amazing number 22 Kaitlyn Clark.This bar is pretty big and well appointed, with lots of TVs for viewing and an outdoor seating area when the weather permits.They have grace solution of beers in full bar with some delightful proprietary cocktails.Their kitchen is banging out some amazing dishes, such as the pulled pork poutine, the grace, O’Malley‘s burger and the southwest chicken sandwich. The burger was juicy and delicious. The chicken sandwich was crispy and spicy and you came on a brioche bun. Topped with fresh tomatoes and purple onions. Very well and very tasty. I paired it with mac & cheese, which is not a traditional mac & cheese by any means. This mac & cheese was out of this world. Fantastic! The only reason why this place did not get a five star rating was because they were short a waitress on this particular Monday. However, our bartender was very social and accommodating. Will definitely be back again for final four.“

“Had to find a laundromat late on a Monday night. So went in here to have a drink while I waited for clothes to dry. The bartender Denise was working, very nice person behind the bar. You have a fine worker here at this establishment. I will remember this!“

“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.“

“Flew over from UK to celebrate my 40th in Chicago - I found this place on the off chance and absolutely loved it - so much so I visited everyday as the staff & regulars were super friendlyI highly reccomend going during the day (if you're my age) - I did pop by one night but the crowd was way too young for my likingSpecial mention to Jacqueline, Francis & Andrew who kept the beer & malort coming - Also 2 of the watresses who were lovely (forgot your names sorry)Im wearing a Lotties Hat all over UK now - I cant wait to come back in September - Thanks to allStuart aka Wingboy (The guy who ate a ton of wings)“
