Great time there last night on NYE despite the OSU loss. Wrigley (like, right by the ballpark) residents this was our first time there-we wanted an OSU bar that wasn't going to be nuts for NYE to watch the game. We sat in the beer garden- they had heaters! We got the salsa and chips- spicy but super fresh- and the potstickers to start. We then split the Kobe beef burger and the beef tenderloin sandwich for our meals. I had the Assumption (which was on special for $4!) and my BF had modelo especial. For all of that and 3 beers a piece, our total was only 63 bucks- super affordable and great quality. The fries are delicious! Waitstaff was all awesome and friendly, attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be back!

O'Donovan's Turkey burger sliders, tots, and Summer Shandy + beer garden = excellent Saturday afternoon Summer Day in Chicago. This was an excellent meal and I will be back!!! Thanks O'Donovan's for a great day!

First time there. I loved the wide variety of food items on the menu. Had the baked cheese as an appetizer and the grilled pear and Gorgonzola cheese salad. Food was excellent and service was great. Also had the red sangria which was also pretty good. Would definitely go there again to have dinner and catch a hawks game!!

Nice little sports bar. We weren't there during an event, so not sure about the crowd or noise level during busy times. It was pleasant for a lunch spot. The food was good. We had the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer. The chips were a little overdone, but the flavor of the dip made it okay. I requested my burger be medium rare, and it came out darker than medium. It tasted okay, but it might have been better if cooked as ordered.

Fun with great curb appeal, the vibe drew us in after passing a few times. Service is relaxed and efficient. Drinks were generous pours. The regular burger (+ Blue Cheese) was good, not crazy-good, but still inhaled the whole thing. Janes Grilled chicken wrap was ok, but I would love to try the crispy one. I think a crunchy texture would be really good. Their salads looked amazing. They have a grilled pear and gorgonzola salad that was beautiful as well as very tasty. The atmosphere on the patio was awesome (currently, the inside half of the restaurant is open weekends only). Two full right-angle walls sport several glass garage door openings that are irresistible on a nice day & reveal fun, eclectic decor. It was not super loud and echo-y so we could enjoy the meal, hear each others words but still pick up the laughing camaraderie buzz coming from other tables. All in all, it's a great vibe.

Great local spot to watch Bears games. Good food and beer selection. The bar side is nice old school wooden bar and the outside area is great with roll up windows to enjoy the summer. They do a great job decorating for Halloween. Prime rib Sunday special is the best.

We went there to celebrate 50th!!!! work anniversary of our coworker! Very spacious restaurant with two large dining areas and nice bar. They serve good burgers (that’s what my coworkers had and were very happy with) and I took a veg salad. On top of that root beer and celebration desert for our main guest! It was great time to be there!

My new favorite place to watch a football game! The two sides of the bar have distinct personalities (in terms of decor) but you feel like you’re visiting two different places by simply crossing over. Great patio, friendly staff, enough room to stretch out with a big party, but also intimate enough to have a conversation without having to shout.

Awesome neighborhood spot- parking lot, great enclosed patio space and more seats on the opposite side fully outside, this place is great in the summer to enjoy a drink or some very reasonable food options. The inside pub area is surprisingly spacious and the staff were very friendly. The table side magician was an unexpected but very fun surprise, and helped make our night memorable. Definitely worth checking out!

Great neighbourhood bar - the coldest draft beer around! The wings are delicious, and their Thursday night trivia is a staple. The beer garden is also spectacular, and the Christmas decorations are delightful. :)

I just had a bloody mary during my visit today. It was delicious! It's been a while since I visited. I will go back to try brunch.

The staff here are lovely. The space is clean and trendy. We were just on the brunch / lunch side but there is a whole bar area and event space. I would love to come back when the main bar is open and check it out. The Rueben bites are PHENOM you have to get them. The fries are TO DIE FOR good too
