This is a great little chill bar. I would recommend it to anyone! Positives: The staff is very nice, they have a great burger, great fried pickles, nice little atmosphere for such a small place. Negatives: They need more beers on tap, the draft beers are a bit expensive, the tables seem weird to me (not enough of them?), the weird older Cubs fans that yell at the TV and drink Budweiser (get some taste buds and go home and hang out with your family!) This is the place I met my girlfriend at, so I can't dog it too much. read more

I've been to Gannon's several time and have been meaning to write a review for a while. My visit last night finally inspire me to write one and I didn't even order a drink... I was caught in a rainstorm while walking home from a wedding, wearing a suit, and without an umbrella. I ducked in to Gannon's to grab a drink and to wait out the rain. Unfortunately for me they had already announced "last call". The bartender took note of my sad situation and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you. What are you having?" I didn't take him up on the offer because I didn't have cash and didn't want him to have to open up a tab. Either way, that level of customer service is greatly appreciate. Thanks! More to the point... Gannon's has good food, decent beer selection, and a nice outdoor beer garden. Nothing flashy here, just a chill place to grab a beer and a sandwich. read more

This place sucks. We came in at 9pm and asked for seats on the patio. The bartender said it was packed. The bar was empty. We had a couple drinks and waited. The hostess told us at least 3x that it was still crowded. An hour later, my wife went outside and checked the patio and there were at least 4 free tables. They were lying the whole time. Their patio is not that popular. Way too many better bars in the neighborhood. Don't need your shitty patio read more

its an OK bar the bartender NICK the younger one followed me and a friend OUT the bar just to ask why we didnt tip him not sure if he has been drinking but this gave me creep vibes! if i had it id give but even then im not obligated since we only had a few 2-3 less than 5 dollar shots keep in mind this was a few years ago read more

Love this place for Packer Games! Awesome food, cool ass bartenders and fun clientele.

i like the smile that glows behind the bar. She is an angel of beer, blonde hair and calming eyes to soothe the daily beast which grow in us all...like a dork i forgot to ask her name, but she poured a mean half acre beer. ::sigh:: the $3 burger special on tuesday is a nice local thang. in the hood, in the city, in a mood to chill and enjoy the local flavor GP is a good destination spot. internet wired jukebox to summon sonic spirits of yesteryear to your celebration, and friendly transplants from the North(it is a Spartan bar). read more

We had our third installment of the beer garden drinking series here. The beer garden is larger than you'd expect and was more than able to accommodate the initial 25 Yelpers that had planned on being there. There was only one bartender, but she did a great job of fortifying us with $3.50 special Blue Moons and the like. The food menu is also pretty big and (nice to see) pretty inexpensive. I like the low key, neighborhood vibe of the place and I think it's a great addition to my ever revolving list of good bars. read more

A very relaxed crowd, good beer selection, friendly staff, and tasty food make this a fine watering hole. The $5 entree special on Sunday evenings cannot be beat for the lemon chicken or skirt steak. The burger really isn't my style, it kinda has a meatloaf taste which I'm not a fan of, but other than that, there's really nothing to complain about. If you're looking to go to a bar and be able to sit and talk with your friends over a few (dozen) drinks, then this is your place. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Excellent burger and fries! I prefer it over B Apple burger across the street. I'm serious. We always have great service when we come here. There's a beer garden in the back that's nice and cozy. They have darts too! And the music playing is always good. read more

Yum. $3 burgers on Tuesday nights. Big juicy burgers, not skinny fake patties. Delish!

Good pint of Guinness here, and the fish and chips is pretty good on Fridays.

I went to Gannon's for a Michigan game. Great specials ($4.50 Bell's, $5 Tito's, $5 wing baskets) and plenty of TVs. Perfecto! Go Blue!

Reliable, friendly and a nice neighborhood atmosphere. Nothing fancy. Good bar food. Local softball and football teams come into drink. I doubt anyone lives further than a couple of blocks away. Great place to sit down and watch a Bears/Sox/Cubs/Bulls game. read more

Guessing this place is better in friendlier weather, and I'm going to keep coming back. Mainly because the Monday night trivia is so solid. You can hear the announcer and people aren't a-holes about cheating or being noisy. It also doesn't take all night like some unfortunate trivia situations, nor does the announcer feel the need to try out his stand-up comedy material. Where it could sorely use improvement: 1) the food. My goodness...we've all had pub fare, but does it have to be lousy pub fare? The nachos are aiight, but the veggie burger was a struggle. Soft pretzels are good. That basically sums up the vegetarian options. and B) the service. when the tables are full, the server/bartender needs to visit more often, or perhaps they need an additional server. friendly but just too infrequent service. read more

I did not mean to go to Gannon's.I attempted to visit a "cool" brewery across the street. Before I made it to the hostess, at 2pm on a Saturday mind you, she screams in my face "were at capacity!" And I am completely overwhelmed by the screaming yuppy douchebagery. I sprint across the street and find myself in Gannon's. Good affordable beer. Good food. Amazing fries coated in sea salt and 10 wings for $5! Keep your $8 half pints and screaming hostess, I'm going to Gannon's. read more

It was a dark,cold and rainy October night and my co-workers and I wanted some after work drinks. Our regular hang out was already closed so we needed an open bar and we needed it fast. We cruised east down Cullom Avenue looking for something that was open and to our surprise Gannon's Pub was. The bar was empty except for one patron and the bartender. We didn't care so all six of us bellied up to the bar and ordered drinks. We ordered Stella's, Bloody's and Amaretto Sours. The beer was cold, the Bloody spicy and the Sours were...well sour. The barkeep was welcoming and warm and he even dealt with our very eclectic mix of music we put on the old jukebox. Gannon's is an overall good neighborhood bar and it is even open late. Whenever your local hang out is closed and you need a quick fix I'd suggest you head over to Gannon's, they'll be open. read more

Incredibly rude service. On more than one occasion we were asked to move and were told that they were no longer serving beer outside. Without warning we were told we needed to get inside with our drinks. Forced us to give a credit card after multiple pitchers and food were ordered. Had to go to the bar several times to get any drinks refilled. Not my first time here but probably my last. read more

I went here last night with my boys Kevin and Charlie to watch the Cubs game........As were watching the Cubs getting dismantled by Howard and the Philies i enjoyed pitcher after pitcher of some beer i never heard of (it was the daily special) but was fire! The atmosphere was good and the music playing was also good as people were playing good rock music off the juke box like Led Zeppelin and Metallica.....But as we were getting straight waisted we had to change up the mood a bit as Kevin and I started playing classics by 2Pac..Ghostface..Chicago's Common and i was shocked that they had Chicago native Lupe Fiasco! The bartenders were quick and friendly....And there wings are amazing! Maybe it was the beer but what dosen't taste good when your sippin...? Had to give em 5 stars...Till next time Gannons! read more

Great bartenders. They are quick to refill the drinks. But if this place experiences a crowd, don't order food. They had 1 cook on staff and said it would be at least 45 minutes for our food because a baseball team walked in ahead of us. Food is okay...fried pickles were marginal but the pulled pork nachos had a weird chemical taste to the BBQ sauce. A good neighborhood joint to grab a drink but skip the food. read more

First time visit on New Year's Day. Staff (who happened to also be the owners) were very nice and low key. It's a small place, but the bar menu was inexpensive and delicious. Try the fish sandwich. They also have a nice spicy bloody mary mix and just enough flat screen tv's to keep the sports fans happy. I didn't get to check out the patio, but it sounds like the owners want to expand that area soon. They have Fat Tire, Blue Moon, Smithwicks, and Guiness on tap, as well as bottled beer. read more

Nice local joint with some great food specials. Diverse, older crowd makes the environment safe and welcoming enough - unpretentious, undouchie. Cute, hidden back patio and their handcut fries are the standouts here. The nachos were the only thing I wasn't impressed with here so far. read more

This is now my favorite bar in the area. Lots of great beers on tap and the menu is wonderful for a bar. They even have a beer garden out back. I recommend the fried pickles! read more

Awesome burgers, and great drink specials! The owners: Sean & his sister, are super friendly and always offer great service. Cool neighborhood pub! read more

Gannon's is basically where the good part of JT Collins went when it closed down a couple of years back. The owners are really, really nice (and generous!) and the bar regulars and staff are down to earth and friendly. This place isn't all that close to my house, but I visit regularly. The food is quite decent as well. Another good part about Gannon's is the "I just turned 21 look at me drinking!" crowd always seems to prefer wild goose across the street and so Gannon's is mercifully spared from their shenanigans. Yes, I just used the word "shenanigans" so I guess that makes me officially "old". read more

Went there last last night with the softball crew-about 12 people in total. Like every pub in this area, it was busy on a Thursday night in the summer, but our server took good care of us with friendly and fast service. I was on a liquid diet, so I didn't sample any of the food, but everything looked delicious. The great(but kind of small) beer garden in the back is a perfect place to relax and throw back a few drinks. Seems to be a popular place for Welles Park softball teams to congregate after games. I'm sure our team will be back. read more

This place is a nice little bar surrounded by bigger bars. They have free trivia on Monday's which we always play, and have food and drink specials everyday. The food is excellent, and the staff is friendly and great. They have darts which are your average plastic board and darts, computerized. Lots of fun and easy to keep score haha. They also have two unisex bathrooms which is awesome. They also have the jukebox set up, and TVs for whatever sporting event is on. Great place!! read more

Fun sports bar! Sheila and Sean are awesome! So are the quesadillas and the Gold wings. Trivia on Mondays is also a good time. Great north center pub. read more

The owners are fabulous. It's a wonderful neighborhood bar where you can relax and feel like a "local" even if you don't live in this particular hood. It's an establishment that can be your sort of "Cheers". The food is excellent and the specials are great. read more

Went here after work one day and was not impressed. I wanted to get a drink and some food and was only able to achieve one of the two. I got completely forgotten about and neglected... One beer and that's it I probably could have walked out without paying and not been noticed. I'm sure others had great experiences here but I certainly did not. read more

Part bar. Part restaurant. No pool table. One or two dart/video games. Excellent music choices on the box. Good flat screen TVs in all 4 corners. Friendly waitstaff who obviously read and have lives outside of work. read more

Absolutely delicious burgers, very nice and attentive bartender annnnddd they had the Michigan game on!! We will definitely be back :)

Fun, little local watering hole. My husband's Cheers. Love the owners and staff. Yummy burgers, fish and chips and other apps. here and there. Guinness, Bells, etc. on tap. Strong mixed drinks . Simple, cheap, good times. A+. read more

This is my regular spot so I might be a little biased...but Gannons is great! They have excellent food and the drink specials are always fair. The staff are all really friendly and give the bar a nice neighborhood feel. They also have a great patio and are a great place to watch the game or just hang out. Super casual environment, and worth checking out. Also the Chipotle Chicken sandwich is amazing! read more

Friendly staff and GREAT crowd....... A Guinness here makes the bad days go away !!!

Gannon's is a relatively small place, but I've always been able to find a table. It's a great place to grab a drink or burger with friends on a weeknight or to watch a game (I watched the Superbowl here with some friends.) They have some good food and drink specials during the week, which will keep me coming back since I live just a few blocks away. I like their food better than the Wild Goose (right across the street) and it's cheaper than the Bad Apple (also across the street) so it's kind of a happy medium. read more

Came in to watch some football and grab food after the half acre brewery tour and couldn't be more satisfied. Great drink deals and prices, and the burgers are honestly amazing (and a great deal for the price). This will definitely become a frequently visited location for me! read more

A nice quiet beer garden. The coolest waitress ever.

A good selection of beers on tap is all I can say about Gannon's. I guess that's all I need to say about Gannon's because that's just what we needed. read more

I like this bar. It is small and comfortable. They have good daily specials and usually have good fries. (I went there tonight and their fries were a bit overcooked but I won't hold that against them since I have had the quality ones before.) They have pretty good food, overall. I also did not know that they had a back beer garden! I will have to check that out this summer. read more

BURGERS, BURGERS, BURGERS. SO Good!! I have never actually stayed in the bar but have gotten a few burgers to go when I visit friends in the neighborhood. Very good and worth the price. Tons of flat screen TVs everywhere and just a quaint little pub on the corner. read more
