We recently found this neighborhood gem, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the city. The neighborhood feel is exactly what we've been looking for. Welcoming, comfortable, and the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Everything we've tried has been excellent. Our go-to order has been the wings and the chicken Caesar salad, which are both consistently delicious. But today we tried the Shia LaBuffalo Bowl, and WOW it was absolutely incredible. And honestly, the name alone deserves bonus points. So clever! We cannot wait to try the rest of their menu, EVERYTHING sounds delicious. We have to give a huge shoutout to Katie behind the bar. She makes us feel at home every single time we visit. She's warm, friendly, funny, and an exceptional bartender. I'm pretty particular about an Aperol Spritz, and Katie makes my favorite spritz in the city. She also makes an amazing mango margarita and a fantastic spicy watermelon marg. Great food, amazing drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps you coming back. We absolutely love this place and highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Quality neighborhood sports bar. Good for bears and cubs games, though depending upon the day and what is on you may not get sound on the baseball game. Which is understandable. The food is solid and made to order. Seems like they get a fair amount of take out as well. I miss the tots which seem to be off the menu. Cheese Curds are Illinois good. They pour a proper Guinness and saw a few black and tans as well. Outside of st Patrick day it is interesting to see. Good crowd, great staff. Pass on the chicken sandwich. read more

Ice cold beer, good food, friendly bar tenders, what more do you want. Our first time here and we had the cheese curds and they very good they come with ranch and there house sauce. The shrimp Po'Boy and shrimp tacos were excellent. Lot of shrimp on both. I will definitely be back read more

Recently went here for an animal fund raising event. The food and dessert prepared by the staff was second to none. Steak sliders , assorted wings and fries and great home made carrot cake. The cocktails were great and I have to tell you the prices were so reasonable. I've been here many times and the owner and staff are the best We raised a lot of money to help dogs and cats and had a great time doing it Love this place. And if you have never been here put it on your to do list Thanks guys read more

The quality in food has diminished! Me and my family are so surprised of the quality of food. We've always eating in or rest for Dunning and always amazing but just tonight it was awful no taste in the wings, the taco quality is not the same and burgers and fries had no taste. We are in shock. Did the cook change? The food was cold. Just wow! read more

One of the best smash burgers I have ever had. Crew got here on Burger Night, what a damn home run! Love this neighborhood spot, come here!

We decided to ring in the New Year visiting one of our friends' favorite "Main Street" bar(s). Located right off on Addison, it's an easy miss smack dab in the middle of a residential area. GREAT local bar! Service was great from the start. All of their food choices are great! We tried their : wings (spicy bbq), battered cod plate, cheesesteak, cheese curds & their classic chili bowl. All were great choices and relatively affordable as well! We finished off the dinner with their cookie bar dessert -very tasty! Highly recommend ! read more

This place is walking distance from my house and I always forget about how great their food is! Came in a Tuesday about 6pm and a decent crowd not too crowded but not dead. Waitress greeted us right away. We split the dinning hour burger with fries and it was perfect! We saved room as waitress told us about $3 taco night so we also had the steak which were very good (lots of steak) but the shrimp were the best! They were medium shrimps and not breaded which we loved. We of course finished it off with the carrot cake made from scratch and it did not disappoint. We only ate 1/2 it was a huge piece and took the other half home. Great local place don't forget about it for a great dinner! We will make sure to come back more often. read more

Great spot! Great food, drinks, service, atmosphere, beers on tap, and owner! Awesome local watering hole to grab a bite to eat! All the food is good! The wings, burgers, mac & cheese, pesto pasta, jambalaya chicken sandwiches, fries, tater tots, and more! All are great! Bobby the owner is great guy and keeps the good times rolling with fresh new beers, drinks, and food items! They have a lot of TVs so it is a great spot to watch a game! Highly recommend Dunning Pourhouse! read more

The bartender/server is amazing, so friendly and knew everyone who walked in the door. The food was 10/10. We had the buffalo chicken dip and the shrimp po'boy and was one of the best po'boys I've had outside of the south. If you are looking for a friendly place to hang and eat some delicious food, look no further. read more

Good neighborhood bar located of course in the neighborhood of Dunning. It's nothing really that special but sometimes you just want something that's easy and relaxing. Dunning Pour House is that kind of bar. Kind of far away from public transportation except for buses but worth it to avoid the limited parking around here. The prices are pretty cheap especially when there's a special. After making plans for an evening, we came here. It took awhile to get to by bus, but it came right in front of it. The special going on was Berry Sangrias on Wednesdays. It was only $5 each. These were full of berry flavor and not overly sweet unlike lots of these. As for the food, it's more of the basic bar kind of stuff, fried and greasy. It's about $4 for fries, and this is probably the healthiest thing on the menu. A lot of people like the burgers. There's also cheese curds. Basically it's an overall okay neighborhood bar. It won't blow anyone away, but it's good for a few cheap drinks as well as greasy food. This is a pretty affordable place as well, and you can save even more on the specials they have daily or weekly. read more

4 words - Nashville Style Hot Chicken! Wow, the crunch, flavor and spice take this sandwich to the next level. The "bar food" here hits the spot! read more

This place is amazing, great food, great atmosphere, great staff and of course great drinks. The best chicken wings in Chicago. A must stop.

Great steak tacos, has a little spice to them and the burgers are great too. It's a great neighborhood place.

Located in the Dunning neighborhood this local spot gives me mixed feelings. While there is nothing wrong with the drinks or service, I have found the "vibe" here to be a bit off putting. I think it has to do with the primary clientele "regulars" and general culture. To give you the vibe I will describe my average experience here: it is often blasting country music or rock from 1960-1985 (dad music) and consists of many 30-40 year old men yelling and engaging in shenanigans reflective of someone half their age. The decor of the bar consists primarily of police/fire memorabilia from 1960-1990. The men are often accompanied by their wife or gf who is either drunkenly engaging in similar silly behavior or is completely disconnected and quietly waiting to leave. It feels a bit like a local frat house for Police/Fire workers and other local blue collar men who used to roughhouse in the parking lot after their team won a football game back in high school . Again there is nothing wrong with this but it's not necessarily my preferred atmosphere, however if you think you might like that visit the pour house as you will likely enjoy it! I still come here from time to time as it has a certain small-town/high school vibe which can be nostalgic. Food is fine. Specialty Drinks are hit or miss, I've had really good one here and really bad ones. Pricing seems a bit high on the food but ‍ . Rating three stars as this bar is likely not for most Chicagoans, and the food/drink don't particularly make it worth going out of your way to visit, but also their is nothing necessarily "bad" about this bar either. Bartenders have always been above average for sure though especially given the situations I've seen them have to deal with. They are always super kind and conversational! read more

Anybody that says this place is good needs help it's the most disgusting food I've eaten for $45 I got a burnt chicken sandwich about 10 cold french fries it tasted like they were yesterday's and the macaroni and cheese tasted like dirty dish water food is disgusting that's twice I tried it and will never go back read more

I'm a UberEats driver and the guy that was on the counter was ignoring me and made me wait 20 min for my food! I walked in said hi and no reply I let him know that I was here to pick up an order and no answer, he was literally watching the tv the whole 20 mins i was waiting the food. Just to find out the food was ready! I don't think clients like cold food. read more

This is what I think about when I think "neighborhood bar." Character to spare, locals talking way too loud about nothing in particular, simple tasty food, great cocktails. The atmosphere is classic. The tin ceiling tiles and the long wooden bar are enough to warrant you dropping in. read more

The food was great! I had the wings, and they were fine perfect! Special on a Monday for $1 each, and drafts for $5. My wife had the deep fried cod with fries, very good. We also shared the pretzel sticks. Delicious with their cheese sauce and zingy mustard dip! We finished with their banana crème pie, so good, the best I've ever had. Our server was so attentive and helpful for our visit. Good service is hard to find. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, like a neighborhood bar should be. We will definitely come back! read more

Go there to drink and make merriment. Only eat with a group doing same. Do not plan to nosh here with a date or small group that's expecting to be able to communicate at normal decibels, unless you are there during 'senior hours' (before 6 during the week, 1 or 2 on the wknds). Otherwise it's just too damn loud in this mostly low-ceiling, tap-happy bar with lots of 'ESPN-TVs'! read more

Food are good with large size, we had cheese burger and fishes taco, they are strongly recommended The services are good Ambiance was ok, we sit outdoors, there was live singing indoor read more

Neighborhood vibe with extremely outstanding service! I would definitely this for anyone in the area!!

I stopped in because I read great reviews. I was by myself. I ordered a sangria and the sheet pan nachos. It was lunchtime. David was fantastic. He treated me as if I were a regular. There were other parties and people at the bar, but I was not forgotten. I had some time to kill so I had an additional drink and ordered wings to go. My nephew reports they were great! If ever in the neighborhood again, I will head right back there! read more

Originally, I wasn't the biggest fan of this place but I keep coming back for more. I've had a few desserts and I can't stop.

My family and I went there and were immediately seated and welcomed. The food was FANTASTIC! There was a fun game of electric darts for my daughter and she enjoyed it very much so. The servers were so nice and had a GREAT attitude the place just had so much great energy! Overall the food was AWESOME the energy of the restaurant was GREAT and will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

This place has some really good food. I usually have the shrimp po' boy and it's delicious! When you eat it in the restaurant the shrimp is nice and crispy, but for delivery it doesn't stay that way. Only thing is that it can run very salty and overpowering because of that. The burger was good, along with the wings. Tacos were okay; The meat was dry and it had a very heavy cumin flavor. The salad was eh, nothing to write home about. Everything was salty like I mentioned, which is why it gets a star off. I'd still recommend this place because I've gotten it multiple times and it has quality food (today was just an off day). read more

Dunning Pour House - I just picked these bad boys up, the pickled onions were recently added im assuming? DID NOT DISAPPOINT! - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Who doesn't know how amazing this place is? I live right down the street and this place is always full but never so crowded that you don't get your drink refilled or your food within a reasonable time. the wait staff is awesome, and the customers are public service workers, locals from neighborhood, and all-around good people. Never a problem here, great food, and special days for certain drink specials. read more

Very friendly environment as soon as we walked in, young and old and some families. The bar itself is gorgeous carved wood, seats at bar, high tops, and a few regular tables. Excellent menu, some different options. The BBQ chicken salad (not sure of exact name) was superb. And delicious left over too. Street parking, but we don't have any trouble the two times we went. Check it out!! read more

Hello my Foodzies, I know it's been few and far between but here we go. I want to tell you about a quaint place on Addison Ave in Chicago called Dunning Pourhouse located at 7718 w Addison Ave. anyone who knows me knows that Glenda and I like a little moonshine every now and then. One of my Officers recommended this place because it has Rootbeer moonshine. When we walked in there were a few patrons there but by the time we left it was packed. It had a Cheers atmosphere, classic rock playing numerous TVs with every sport you could think of playing. Our host was also our server; Abby. She was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We started with some moonshine, Glenda went with peach and I of course had the Rootbeer which was awesome (I bought a bottle to take home), we then switched over to Blue moon. We started with the chipotle bbq wings very tasty with the right amount of spice, I would have preferred them to be a crispier but great nonetheless. We had the Cajun jambalaya complete with andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp. Very flavorful and there again great spice level. Glenda opted for the bbq chicken salad with Chilled grilled chicken, tomato, avocado, roasted corn, black beans, cheddar, crushed tortilla chips, house BBQ, and ranch. The chicken was sparse and cut to small the bbq sauce was a sweet and smoky flavor. I really enjoyed it. I elected to get the Cajun chicken; Crispy hand-breaded chicken, house Cajun Grilled chicken breast, smoked bacon, seasoning, lettuce, tomato, onions, and lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions, and roasted pepper aioli. Fantastic, a little small but packed with flavor. That along with a large portion of tater tots was awesome. All in all I highly recommend it. I'll give it 5 stars, but don't take my word for it, try it out and let me know what you think. There you go Reece, Ciao Ciao for now. read more

We've been to Dunning Pour House a couple of times now;once for lunch and once to just grab a drink. Both times we were impressed. Its everything that you would want a neighborhood bar to be. The food is rock solid all the way around from the burgers to the steak and cheese which I really enjoyed to the apps like the cheese curds and the nachos. Exactly what you want for pub grub. The vibe is local old school like the retro bar which I personally love, but also gives that farther into the city feel with being pretentious. The bartenders and staff are friendly and on top of it,l and really make you feel welcome. Good draft beer selection as well as some tasty bourbon choices. We will continue to make regular visits because it's worth it. read more

Always a good time here! The food and staff are really friendly. Love the food, drinks and vibe here too!

Great local bar! Bobby the owner is a great guy and his staff is attentive and appreciative! Idk if I'd go as far as saying the food is great but it is above par and prepared fresh to order. Burgers, wings and cheese curds are a good start! read more

This place is the bomb.com. I find myself coming here, at least twice a week... For food and beers hands down the best local bar with food, TVs, music, you name it, even an outdoor patio. All the bartenders are fantastic! read more

So glad I found this neighborhood bar! I've been craving for some good nachos and thanks to Yelp, we landed on Dunning Pour House! The Sheet pan Nacho is exactly what I was craving for. I wanted a loaded nachos with crispy chips. Look at the topping of this nacho! The Pour House Burger was also so delicious especially with the fried egg. We cut the burger in half to share and you know.... the egg porn when you see it the yolk drizzle. This was my kind of burger with the sauce, dill pickle, and cheese. Definitely not a dry (no flavor) burger that I've gotta load up with ketchup. Service was OUTSTANDING! We were welcomed and checked on from time to time. We'll be back! read more

A group of 11 of us came for lunch on a Sunday. Very nice variety of food on the menu and reasonably priced. We ordered sheet pan nachos, hangover fries, chicken wings, cheese curds and a chicken buffalo dip for appetizers along with beers, mango margaritas and back porch tea. (Generous drink sizes) For our main meal, some ordered Mac and cheese, the Beefcake, the party fowl, shrimp po boy, DPH cheesesteak, & street tacos. Everyone enjoyed the food. We love that it's a local spot in the neighborhood with solid food. We'll definitely be back for their mid week specials and to try their homemade carrot cake and cookie bars! I've driven past this place dozens of times. Happened to just look up lunch spots on Yelp and I saw the great reviews read more
