Got the wings! Was happy and this is a sox bar on the northside. GO CHICAGO GO! I'll probably go back for the wings in a few weeks. I asked for extra blue cheese dressing & ya know what they listened, tada! read more

Went for Monday night Bears game. Parking good, location good and crowd supportive. We were a group of four and got there early. Things were ok for the most part in the beginning but got progressively worse. There were a total of three bartenders/servers, which should have been sufficient considering the size of the place. The first drink I ordered was ok. Ordered the same drink again and got a completely different cocktail, which tasted terrible. After about 20 minutes the waitress returned to our table and I inquired if she made both drinks. She confirmed she did and I told her the second drink tasted terrible and something had changed. Instead of offering to make another drink she just took it away, never brought back another and of course charged us for both drinks. Not good. Their onion rings were tasty and worth ordering. At half time we tried to order a pizza. We stopped the waitress twice telling her we'd like to order more food, and she said she'd be back with a note pad. Finally the security guard/waiter stopped at our table and took our pizza order, which was terrible btw. Staight up Sysco tomato sauce verging on ketchup tasting. Very bland and off putting for Chicago pizza. Overall there's so many other choices I'd surely go elsewhere. read more

Brudders Bar and Grill - Food is always amazing and the price too - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is mediocre at best and the service is terrible here. I have came to this bar several times in the past and I would normally leave a tip based on how they took care of us. The last few times I have been here I didn't leave them a single dime for a tip. The service here is AWFUL. The bartenders look like they don't like there jobs and will do the bare minimum to the point you have to get up from your table and walk up to the bar to ask for a drink. Then when your at the bar they just ignore you. This bar can get pretty ghetto and there was a shooting that took place some time ago where one of the security guards died. YIKES! We have started to skip this place because there are better and safer bars in the area. read more

Sucks! Went here to preform at their open mic. No one ever showed to set it up. Thanks for wasting our time Def won't come back here read more

Live music is back tonight! Don't listen to that other guy! Didn't eat food but several people near me are eating and it smells so good! They have $1 or $8 burger deals too. Very great price read more

Brudders Bar and Grill - Lady singing an original piece! - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

For da' locals kinda bar. No specific scene. The music is provided by touchtunes jukebox or the rare live sort. The bar has a kitchen and they serve pizzas and sandwiches. Nothing too grandiose, a bite if needed but if you have options, seek those out instead. For drinks and sports, it'll do. read more

My love and I enjoyed a late lunch at Brudder's Bar and Grill recently. Brudder's is located at the corner of Pulaski and Addison, and features some rather appealing daily specials. Have a look at the football helmets lining the walls and the stylized aerial mural of Wrigley Field while you figure out what to order. My love enjoyed her BLT which is a particularly good Saturday special (only $6.95) considering the generous piles of bacon and fries on her plate. My patty melt was also a loaded sandwich with a substantial number of tasty and crispy tater tots, and not a bad deal at under $9 considering my stomach was full for the rest of the day and I still had a few tots left to go. Our pleasant server also seemed impressed by the food items that we ordered when she brought them to our table. We each had drinks that were specials, and it seems they have at least two different drink specials for each day of the week. I cannot believe it has taken me so long to check out Brudder's. read more

Atmosphere: Weekday not too noisy. Dive Bar/Bar food Food: I ordered a Brudder Grabber which had Fried Egg, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Onion Straws (which I declined), Chipotle and Mayo. By it being Wednesday it was $6.00! It also came with Fries. Everything was good. Server/Bartender: Yahna? Drinks: I ordered a Strawberry Margarita which wasn't on the menu and Yahna made it so well! I'd return to try other specials on other days or to grab a drink. read more

4:00 PM totally dead and told us we couldn't go in because we have a baby with us who is asleep. I get after a certain hour, but it's middle of the day and is not a restaurant? I'm so confused boooooo tomato tomato read more

I love Brudders!!! I especially love going for the wings and music. The atmosphere and service is great and the rest of the menu are also a must try. I live about 40 minutes to an hour from this place so when I get a chance to go, I make sure I do. I've had and attended birthday parties here as well and celebrated St. Patty's and had an awesome time. I've Watched sports events here too. Or some regular nights, it's a spot you can always go to, where you can listen to music, drink , dance, have awesome-ass food, and great company. It's always a "Good Time" at Brudders! read more

Amazing live music venue that embodies CHICAGO at its finest. Great prices, good music, cheap bar food. Great time! read more

We walked in at 7:50 pm and had to walk out at 8:10 pm because not one person helped us. They looked our way at least 3 times. It wasn't even busy. We were excited to try this place but we will not be coming back. Disappointing. read more

It's a shame to see the live music is coming to an end. Just when I started to like the place too. The only redeeming quality of this establishment was the live music. It's not like the food stood out, the service was mediocre at best. As a lifetime Chicagoan this is what the neighborhood needed. A place to come unwind and listen to some great musicians do what they do best. I truly wish I could say I would be back, but as mentioned. Nothing special about this place without the music. read more

Love going here on Wednesdays when I lived nearby. Now we're about an hour way and try to visit here there just for their great hospitality and burgers are much better each time. A Hump day special of $6 for a burger w fries/tots, plus other drink specials! You can't beat that! read more

Brudders Bar and Grill - Brudder BLT Burger - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So I've been here before for a drink or two and some grub at the bar. Decent. Tonight though I ordered a meatlovers pizza for take out, and some wings (good price on the wings considering the increase in cost lately). Wings were over done, dry and hard. Pizza had zero sauce on it. I couldn't even separate the cheese from the crust because the cheese was melted ONTO the crust, even on the middle pieces. Toppings were generous, cheese was done, crust was decent, but the utter lack of sauce made it hard to choke down. read more

Let me start by saying the waitress at Brudders (Sunday August 18, 2024) was very nice. However, I ordered pick up. They charged me. They even sent an email saying they received my order. Cut to 30 minutes later when I come in to pick up my order at scheduled time, and she says they have no record of my order. Furthermore, she wasn't equipped to offer refund. Just manager...so she said she'd have to leave a note. Unacceptable!!!! read more

Best place to check out and listen to local bands in the city! Don't miss out on this hidden gem.

Once you get past the dozen code of conduct rules on the door (no doubt they've had "problems" in the past), this is an ok neighborhood bar. No frills, just good pub food served in generous amounts for decent prices, great daily drink specials, and lots of TV monitors. I overlooked that the Naugahyde banquettes have seen better days because the chicken wrap and Sunday pizza special were great. read more

I like this place to have great time with friends at night time. Nice, respectful people

Yet another update. 5 stars because what was I thinking the first time, the food here is delicious. Love the wings, the burgers, the chipotle chicken wrap, the poppers, the tots, all of it! read more

Brudders Bar and Grill - View from the bar. - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm going to keep it 100 when it comes to Brudder's - I only recommend coming to this place on Hump day. Every Wednesday they have $5 burgers that comes with tots or fries. The burgers are bomb!! If it's your first time I would definitely get the brudder grabber. Other then that the rest of the menu is okay. The place does have a nice little scene on the wked's and in regards to wing Monday - those are NOT jumbo wings but at $5, who's complaining? I would also like to say to stay away from the pizza - It's not good, period. NOW, if you are hungover like shit, I would recommend their nachos. The nachos are a hot mess, filled with all kind of delicious ingredients (guac, sour cream, cheese, etc) and the portion can feed a family of four (I'm not joking). Overall: If your in the area on a Wednesday night, why not? Would you make a 10+ minute trip to this place - NO. ******Major key: Sit where the waitress or waiter can see you. There are only two of them (need to hire at least one more person) and this place gets bumping on Wednesday's - so be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes in between check-in's from the waiters. Brudder's as a whole 2/5. The burgers though 4/5. read more

We tried this place for the first time on Monday evening. We were impressed with the size of the restaurant and the cleanliness of the entire establishment (including the restrooms). They also have great happy hour specials every night of the week. We ordered a chicken avocado wrap with tator-tots and a burger (the one with egg) with tator-tots. Both were excellent. We were very impressed with the taste, quality, and speed. read more

This review is a bad one but we LOVE Brudders! We have been long time customers. We love Alicia & Misha as well as the younger and older gentleman that work there most of the time. We've been there in excess of 5 times this week while we've been busy and unable to cook. Misha welcomed us with open arms the first 3 times and Alicia the last two. Our 6th time coming in, this Sunday 7/9/2023 we were welcomed with an attitude and an argumentative lady (5' short black hair). My husband loves the peach whiteclaw and when asking for one she immediately was on defense saying "we do not carry that" despite him having ordered and receiving this all week. He said well I've ordered it all week and laughed in an attempt to lighten the already tense mood. She replied with a short and snarky "well we don't carry that." We have never met someone so rude at Brudders over the 10 year span we've been going. I asked for extra limes for my Modelo and it felt like she was bitter about the whiteclaw situation and gave me one measly little lime, lol. If ya hate your job then don't work it, amiright? She checked on us once while we ate, which was nice I guess. The gist of this post is to avoid going on Sundays at all costs. Spare yourself the shitty attitude and go on all the other days when this character isn't around. We unfortunately don't know the schedules of the other workers that we love but this was our first run in with the bad bartender tonight. The name of the server on the ticket was Charlie but I can't be positive if that was her name or the other gentleman she was working with. I would also love to add that aside of the FANTASTIC bartenders we love the food and drink selection are top notch! We keep it simple most of the time but there are other fun options for drinks. The food is fresh, hot, made to order and quick! Can't beat that. read more

The food is good. However, not once but twice when I ordered delivery the restaurant messed up. Both times I was told they could not make it right because the delivery drivers were not theirs. The first time, it was 3rd party.. the second time I PURPOSELY ordered from Brudder's website, just in case. Okay for one time but twice?!?!!? Within a year. It was not the driver's fault. It was the restaurant. 25 does not mean 10 and buffalo does not mean barbecue. Lost a customer and recommendations. read more

This management sucks! They have a bunch of outdated, old ass rules and lost out on a trolley of 28 people and their business. They wouldn't even let us in and came out to yell at us about all their rules of why we couldn't come inside. Our party was majority colored.. it definitely had something to do with it bc they didn't even give us a chance. Luckily, just down the street is a place called the Hangover and they were super kind and got at least two rounds of drinks from everyone. But eff this place forever. Don't give your money to them!They only care for business from people 50 yrs old or older, most preferably white. read more

The female bartender at this place tryd being slick and give me a drink with no liquor what's so ever then tryd to have me pay $5 to add a shot... Also, a guy that was in the club with a gun, left and came back inside came from outside was how he got shot. They got that all wrong. Top it off it was over a female with a jealous man. Gentleman if y'all don't like y'all ladies getting hit on please don't take them to no getto as bars\grill cause how r other ppl going to know who's taken... Bitches are bound to get hit on anywhere its life it's up to the female to go or not.. smmfh I can keep going but this is just pissing me off even more that man didn't deserve getting shot. But besides that it is a good spot to go to but not on a Saturday. P.s Fire that bartender read more

Wings are on point! Steak Sammy is ridiculous and they are pumping 90's classics like they are going out of style! I will be coming back for more wings and possibly a wrap. I looks promising and about the size of my leg! Yum! Their beer selection was kind of weak but I am a fan never the less! However, they do buckets of domestics and I am a fan of that. read more

I eat at this place all the time yet the ONE time i lost my ID, they ask as soon as we sit down?? Literally come here almost every Monday and Wednesday for their specials but f that now. I wasn't gonna even order a drink. They bogus asf for that shit honestly, just lost a regular customer now. read more

Although this is a bar, this place is pretty good if you're into hip hop, r&b, and reggaeton. There's a pool table, dance floor and kitchen. The women's bathroom is kept clean. No complaints. read more

I came because I heard they have great burgers. I have a thing for burgers, I love burgers. So when I looked it up. It look. amazing . I'm not to big on drinks so I can't rate on that. But their burgers was delicious definitely recommend them. So far I had the Brudder Grabber burger and BBQ brudder burger A.k.a. Addison and Pulaski. Combo with the tater tot is the perfect duo. I was one happy customer even if you order to go it comes out perfect not all sloppy or all over the place. read more

OK - I live within walking distance of this place and I have tried at least half of the menu. The burgers are by far the best burger you can get for $5 on Wednesdays (dine in only), or even any other day, I promise. They are very juicy and have some great condiments and those tots are almost dangerously delicious. The pizza is also very basic but great and you can get any toppings at a very reasonable price. The nachos are stupid big - do not order them unless you are ready for the largest pile of chips, chipotle nacho cheese, guac, jalapenos, meat, etc. They are great but shockingly large. Lastly the potato skins are also good - those are my favorite's at Brudder's. I never really go during the weekend because the vibe isn't my style but the week nights are solid with sports on the TV and a chill vibe. Don't judge - just go check it out. read more

I've been here 3 times! Very nice bar! The bartenders are nice! Food is great! Would recommend it! They have good music!

I'm not sure why I've never ordered from here before since it's so close. Tonight I NEEDED a burger and was not disappointed. Only giving it 4 starts because I ordered well done and it's much more pink than I prefer but..I still ate it and loved it. read more

I literally live within walking distance from the bar and while I love the food and drinks I don't like the service I receive from this one female bartender with long dark hair. It's like every time I come in there she is working and pays me no attention when I'm actually a great tipper when treated nicely. She focuses on the regulars I guess and everyone else gets little to no attention from her. Tonight I sat at my table for nearly a hour before she asked if I wanted a refill on my drink; thank god I had food because I would've been looking like an idiot. Other than her being not the best server/bartender the place is pretty decent. I just wish they would hire more friendly people read more
