    A local dive bar. They were busy, but we were able to get a small table. We stopped for a couple of drinks. Service was quick for how busy they were and the bartender was kind/friendly.

    Perfect place for game day. Ordered the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce on the side. It came with fries. Energy and service were good.

    Wings are

    I've been here multiple times but finally decided to rate it. They are consistent with the wings and that's all I get. It's a bar and the bartenders have always treated me well friendly which makes a bar. It's usually crowded but I came on Thursday pre game night and it wasn't noisy the bar was well alive but it was calm and enjoyed my wings. It's a good bar vibe. Thanks

    Perfect hole in the wall sports bar. Fun time and great spot to grab a drink and watch the game.

    Nice casual sports bar with lots of TVs and a pool table! Was able to grab a table on a Saturday night. Food and drinks were good. Service is a little slow, but very friendly when you just grab their attention. Nice little casual place to stop by with friends!

    I will preface this post by saying I was born n raised in Chicago, however, 20 years serving in the Army ultimately took me away. I now live in VA. Anytime I get home I try some place new. I've tried to get into Mother Hubbard's on 3 occasions for their wings n the place was packed. Today I finally got in! The wings were jumbo, hot, n crispy! We got the plain with buffalo sauce on the side n Cajun garlic butter. My Cesar salad was fresh. The fries were shoe string n hot! My Long Island's were strong, just how I like them. They would have gotten 5 stars, except for the fact that after we finished eating, a ROACH crawled across the table!!!!!! Yikes! So, the ambience needs a lot of work. Unfortunately, I won't be back... n it's a damn shame too cuz the wings were on point!!!

    Overall, a solid sports bar! I will say this is a great place to watch games with ample TVs. It is a nice dive sports bar with good service. I will say the food is solid thought of it like your favorite item you would get from a cafeteria. Do expect frozen tater tots and can cheese but still with some good flavor. I will say pricing wise I think it's not the greatest value but kind of par for river north.

    100/10 Must visit! Staff is very friendly, you can tell by the environment. I'm on a work trip and this has now become an EASY city staple. Honorary mentions to their management, Shane! and his extremely helpful team, Riley and Tee. Those are only three of the countless Individual that made an out of towner feel at home. 100/10 review. Thank you!

    As my best friend's favorite sports bar in River North, Mother Hubbard lived up to that during St. Paddy's. They were prepared with green beer and Jell-O shots to start off the day. The staff is super attentive and kept cleaning so that nothing accumulated and got disgusting. They even made sure that the bagpipers made their way in to perform a couple of songs... and still there were sports still on. The DJ seemed like he barely knew what he was doing but his playlist wasn't too terrible. Kinda happy we made our way in here and had a good time.

    Came in here midnight on a Sunday. Desperate for food after bar hopping all the nearby places on the street that no longer served food. It was actually a random man on the street who said go inside and get the tater tots. We were greeted instantly and order taken immediately. Food came in about 5 mins which was amazing. After that the waiter disappeared, maybe thinking the job was done? The chicken blt was really good and the tater tots were too cheesy and spicy for me but my table tore through them. The wings were also massive and we were starving. The music ranges from heavy metal to oldies from Earth Wind and Fire. The rating would've likely been 4-5 if we didn't have to go to the bar to ask for them close out the bill

    I recently visited Corcoran's Grill and Pub while in town from Florida with my family, and…read moreunfortunately our experience with the service really took away from what could have been a great visit. From the moment we sat down, our waitress--the one with curly hair and a gummy bear necklace--was noticeably rude and unwelcoming. When we were ordering drinks, we were speaking politely, but she just stood there silently, almost impatiently, waiting for us to finish. There was no friendliness or even basic customer service. When she brought out a classic margarita, she didn't make eye contact, didn't say anything, and just dropped it off and walked away. The drink itself was extremely strong to the point that it wasn't really drinkable. When we politely asked if it could be remade or if more mix could be added, she responded with, "Is this a complaint about a heavy pour?"--which came off as dismissive and sarcastic. It was disappointing because we were excited to visit Chicago and were hoping for a friendly, welcoming dining experience. On the positive side, the atmosphere was great, the outdoor seating was really nice, and the food was genuinely delicious. Overall, great vibe and food--but the service we received, especially from our waitress, made the experience far less enjoyable than it should have been.

The Scout in Old Town captures the look of the OG but in a new fresh way - perfect for present-day. We were instantly and warmly welcomed upon arrival. Lexi was our server and honestly five stars don't do her justice. She deserves 5,000 stars! The menu features some of the same menu items that were at the South Loop location along with some newbies. Lexi let us know what was what and made excellent recommendations based on our preferences. I loved my salad, and my husband loved The Wolf (said it was just like he remembered - his favorite!!!). Definitely check The Scout out - but warning, you will be spoiled by their fantastic food and service so much you will never want to go anywhere else other than there. We highly recommend!

If you've been to the old spot I'm talking about, you'll notice immediately that The Scout still has the beautiful, soaring ceilings, but they've also remodeled a chunk of the restaurant, which is great! We sat down pretty immediately at a table in the back of the restaurant - not too far from the (new) DJ booth, and our waitress was extremely kind and gave us prompt service. We were just hanging out, listening to the music, when the NFL Divisional playoff game that was on tonight came back on, and let me tell you, it was the loudest game audio I have ever heard in a bar, ever. I've been going to sports bars for most of my adult life, and I get that folks can get excited and loud and that's not what I'm talking about. The audio of just the announcers and players from the telecast were almost exceeding 100 dBA, slow, without the bar cheering. I've been an audio engineer for over 20 years, and that isn't too far off from the base level of what you'll experience at concerts at the United Center (102-110 dBA, slow). We asked twice if the zone that encompassed our area of the restaurant could be turned down - but nothing changed, so we took our food to go and left. It wasn't just "can't have a conversation" loud, it was "I can't think" loud. This place needs to do some system tuning (the example I'll give - if you go to a Yard House the environment is loud and lively but you can still hold a conversation at your table because the audio system is extremely well tuned). The food that we ate when we got home (Kids mac n cheese and buffalo wings) were exceptional, so that's why I'm not leaving a single star. I don't know if we'll be back, I was incredibly disappointed tonight.
