Great bar to watch a game and grab dinner. Drinks are spot on! Service was outstanding.

The owner himself didn't allow us to stay because of our service animal. We clearly stated he was a service dog. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), bars and nightclubs must allow service dogs into all areas where customers are normally permitted. Service animals are not pets, and businesses cannot enforce "no pets" policies against them, charge extra fees, or segregate handlers into designated seating areas. Awful service and discrimination. read more

Horrible experience in waucanda. Rude staff. Food cold and bar was loud and seemed more important than tables with customers. Very poor ran place and mgr drinks shots while cooking food and dosen't wash hands handling food. Very uncomfortable i was in this place period. What a complete joke read more

If you really like the bottom of bar food, like the "we order it all from Sysco and deep fry it" of food, it's worth 5 stars. Otherwise, if you have even half a brain this place is terrible. Pray for Wauconda. Another trash bag food joint and bar. Puke... read more

Another good bar. Four Shadows is a neighborhood divey joint. It has better than expected quality. Beer selection is kind of limited but it has a few. The food by the looks of things would be all greasy stuff but it actually has some good stuff. Came in here to watch a game. It has a few big TVs and it feels more like a sports bar than a dive bar to be honest. They have a kind of limited amount of beer on tap. It's about $8 for a cocktail. They have the usual stuff like Jameson and all that. As for the food, it's about what you expect. There's a lot of greasy bar stuff. It does have a few other choices. There's also Chips And Salsa. It's about $7 for a small basket. This is about the healthiest thing on the food menu. Choices for vegetarians is limited. If you like chicken they have many options. There's wings and other things. read more

Rob was the best!!! Great guy, great service! Good vibes ever and made our night the best!.

Great spot to watch a game and get some bar food. The Augi spicy chicken wrap is phenomenal and the wings are fire too.

Great service. Rob the owner is very nice and takes care of everyone who comes in. The wings are extremely good. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

My friend found a hair on his burger, the bartender didn't seem shocked about it, I only took two bites of my wrap and decided not to finish it as I didn't want to risk it. They only took his burger out of the bill, I paid $25 for to bites out of the wrap. read more

Jack M that left that negative review right below needs to realize you can't show up to a national championship game and monopolize a table with 6 people and not order anything while there are people being turned away, this is a business. I come to this bar all the time and owners and bartenders are great, Jack M change your diaper and watch the game at home next time!!! read more

I came here to watch a Colts vs. Eagles game once about 3 years ago. Not every place will show a Colts game, so this bar was the place to go to. Fun atmosphere and good bar food. read more

Food was amazing. Service was even better. Rob was a great server. 10/10 experience. No complaints.

I have nothing but rave reviews for this place. My friends, Timmy and Ashley, got married in another state but did a reception back home here in Chicago for us that couldn't make it there. It so happened to be here, where they had the entire bar from 6-11. It was packed with family and friends! There were so many of us! The staff was great - they kept up with keeping the food fully stocked, making sure everyone's space was as clean as possible, keeping the tunes rolling, and the bar staff kept up with the crazy demand, all with a smile on their face. The space was perfect for us all and the decorations added for the occasion were enough to give the place a rustic, down home feel. It was a great evening and I love the staff for providing us with a great evening and venue! read more

Four Shadows - We had the place PACKED!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Full disclosure- I know the management and many of the folks that work here. This is an Iowa bar, so whenever there is a Hawkeyes game on, if you're not into crowds...not the right time to come in for a visit. Small owned business, and it's geared towards making their customers happy. The cook in the back whenever I'm visiting is Augie- and the food is always pretty amazing, and there are some items that he puts his own flair on...you should try asking for something unique vs the standard bar fare that you expect. You'll be surprised! Good service here, worth coming up from the South Side or River North because they aren't pretentious here, the drinks are affordable, and the service is top level. I implore everyone to come support the people here who have been out of the picture due to the lengthy shutdown earlier this year. Summer isn't going to last much longer, and so it's even more important for people to enjoy the coming weeks as nobody knows what will happen when fall/winter comes this year. Support local and small owned businesses. read more

Talk about a routine play. Service is all time. Sneaky food menu that will not disappoint. Guinness to lite beer you are going to get value.

Awesome spot for late night drinks or for an awesome Sunday brunch to watch some football! Staff is always super nice and friendly to me. You can tell They all really enjoy working there which is so nice to see. The Bloody Mary was really good. The food for Brunch is super solid too. We had some nachos, mini corn dogs, the burgers all looked awesome, But I didn't eat it personally. Overall, it was super fun plus the Bears won which is rare! Super fun time and can't wait to do it again soon. read more

Looked up mini corn dogs (FAIR STYLE CORNDOGS) and this was the first place to pop up. They have the best and Kyle and matt are the greatest. 10-10 coming back to this nice cozy local corner neighborhood bar ! read more

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for years. From the daily specials, bartenders, and great bar food, it is a great place to stop in. -The beer and cocktails here are always cold and well made. -The menu here is also above average, especially considering a lot of bars around lakeview have awful food. -The sweet potato tots are rare to find in the city, and some of the best I've ever had. -The atmosphere here is very friendly and I've never had an issue or complaint. -They have lots of games, including darts and connect four. You may even come on a night where they break out the hoola-hoops! -BOTTOMLESS BLOODYS AND MIMOSAS for $12 during I love this bar. read more

It's fine. Prices, selection, service and food all pretty standard B- average. Nothing distinctive to set it apart from the 700 other pub & grills in Chicago. Except maybe the bathrooms are nice. Wouldn't say no to anyone suggesting it, but wouldn't drive more than 10 minutes to get here. Parking sucks. read more

I went with a large group to Four Shadows and had an extremely negative experience. Signs were plastered around the bar stating a 20$ minimum for credit cards. I was with a big group of people so we put our drinks on one card. When I get the bill the owner proceeds to tell me there is a 30$ minimum PER PERSON so he charged us 126$ for a single beer and even included a monologue on on the costs of running a bar. We won't be back. read more

The absolute best sandwich I've ever had!! & the staff is the best in town - Couldn't ask for a better place in Lakeview!!! read more

Bestest bar in Chicago!! Everyone is family here!! drink prices are unmatched, and the food is amazing!! Come for a game and you'll have the best time! read more

Don't come here if you want proper customer service. Management/owner has a power trip and some weird control about chairs being at tables. Literally, no rhyme or reason to it. I asked for an extra chair for a guest. I was told there's the door if I didn't like his rules. I've been in the restaurant business a long time, and the worst customer service ever. Feels like a bar that 1 guy owns so all his friends can drink. Sad, because I'm a big Hawkeye fan. Will never come back to this bar ever again. I'll take my Iowa money to the other Iowa bars where I feel welcomed and treated like an adult. read more

I may be a bit biased on this one because I have only gone there for Iowa game watches. The atmosphere is always a blast, and the bartenders do a great job keeping up despite the large number of patrons. Looking forward to visiting again this fall. read more

Once upon a time I moved to Chicago without knowing a single soul. Four Shadows basically took me in like a lost puppy. A few rum and diets, a good game of naked photo hunt, and some loaded fries later, it felt just like home. Seriously, my favorite laid back bar in Chicago. Great place to watch the game, or even better, to people watch. The bar food is fantastic and the drinks are strong, and the bartenders are fun and attentive. Some of my best Chicago memories were made here. Thanks Matt & the crew! read more

Went there on a Saturday at 5:00PM with my 14 year old son for dinner. Was told by the bouncer my son could not enter because he was not 21. Not a family friendly establishment. read more

My favorite bar. The staff goes above and beyond and are always the nicest people. The food and drinks are amazing with a friendly all-inclusive kind of atmosphere (especially for you Iowa fans). I always see the owner there working with and for his staff, which isn't something so common in this industry any more. I manage a bar myself and I really really recommend you checking this place out. Great job you guys! read more

Been coming to this spot since I moved to the neighborhood a few years back. Anytime we don't feel like cooking, its our go to for a quick bite and a few drinks. I also enjoy watching games here as it is lively and just a good time. The folks behind the bar are professional, efficient and most importantly, fun. Its one of those, come for the food, stay for the entertainment. They are an Iowa bar, so on game day, well, lets just say you have been warned. lol (Its a good time for sure, I found myself stuck in there once or twice for a game). In the end, you can't go wrong here. Great pub food, cold drinks, and sports on the TVs. read more

Just moved to the area and have been to this bar twice and they have been so nice/ welcoming. Really reminds me of my local bar at home but with WAY BETTER FOOD. Tried the house chicken sandwich it had onion rings and bacon. I've also tried the corn dogs and buffalo chicken wontons YUM!! Great to have this so close.. with great people working there who really take care of ya read more

Four Shadows - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had driven past this place a bunch of times and had never been in until recently to watch a Blackhawks game. The spot is way cuter than I anticipated from the outside. Also, the service is friendly (though can get very very spotty when the spot is busy) and the food was pretty good. I'm not sure why we weren't allowed to move a few more tables to make a larger area for the group we were with, but overall, the staff was accommodating. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Four Shadows has a unique burger offering with four distinct types of quality cheese on a pretzel bun. It's amazing! The tots are unusually good as well. Beyond that it's pretty much a normal Irish style bar with darts and Connect Four. The beer selection is solid but not that many taps. They have Sunday ticket to watch NFL games. Highly recommended. read more

A classic Midwest corner bar... and then some. The people make this Irish sports bar your home away from home. No matter who's working they're gonna take care of you. Don't expect fancy cocktails but I promise the game will be on. Midwest hospitality at its finest, you'll feel right at home here. read more

We were served by the owner, he was amazing! They are clearly having some staffing issues (who isn't) but are pushing out some bussin' food and service anyway. I will be back!! read more

The dude bro owner has no business owning a bar. He knows nothing about liquor, cocktails, customer service or at the very least being a good leader to his employees. Like to double prices mid visit then blame his employees right in front of their faces that it's their mess up. All while admitting he never trained them in his "correct" way. I feel bad for everyone working there. read more

This is a great neighborhood sports bar! I went there Sunday night to watch the Hawks game, and saw two football games at the same time on their nine TVs. Great beer selection and service, but outstanding bar food. read more

This is a cool bar with great bar food. They have eight televisions. Went there to watch Sunday football and Blackhawk game. Good beer selection with a enough choices on their food menu. The buffalo chicken egg rolls were an excellent appraiser. I ordered the shrimp wrap and was given the wrong wrap by mistake, and the bar tender made it right quickly and let me keep the extra food. Just a stand up gesture and classy move. I like this place a lot. Cool vibe to it . read more

Four Shadows - They have 8 tv s - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A clean and charming local bar that offers plenty of food, reasonably priced drinks and charming service. Came for taco Tuesday and was not disappointed. We ordered the chicken, steak, and pork tacos - all of which tickled our fancy. I have nothing but great things to say about the service - or should I say the server! The man behind the bar was also the bars only server while we were there.This did cause service to be a bit slow, but can you blame him? He did a wonderful job, was incredibly friendly! I probably wouldn't come back for a game day or something crazy, but the tuesday taco deal is definitely worth the visit. read more

just love love love this place. I lived a block from here for years throughout college and it quickly became my favorite spot for the food and aesthetics. They have daily specials, my friend and I would always meet on Weds for buffalo chicken wraps, sweet potato tots and blue moons -- the portions are huge we always left with boxes. Burgers, tacos, etc -- everything is just really delicious. Aesthetics: they have darts and giant jenga to play; mainly high top and bar seating; they've got large windows that look out Diversey & Ashland that they open whenever the weather is nice. The staff are young, fun and welcoming -- if you are looking for a new place to try in LP, this would be my FIRST recommendation every time. read more

Great neighborhood spot for sure! The staff is amazing and make you feel so welcome! The food is also amazing and you MUST try the Auggie special! I also love the buffalo sliders! read more

The service at four shadows was ABOVE and BEYOND what you would expect from a joint with such reasonable prices!! Our waitress, Abby, was extremely attentive and knew her way around the menu!! She provided great recommendations and made sure our drinks were always full, and was so personable as well. Someone get that girl a raise!!!!! 10/10 will be going again. read more
