    Beer And The Hummus Dip
    Steve A.

    Came here a few times, and it seems like a basic neighborhood bar. It's convenient for those going up Western in Rogers Park. Mullen's has lots of good beer and liquor, and some okay food too. For sure service can be slow, even when it's not busy here. There's lots of TVs, making it a good place for watching games or whatever. Basically it's a neighborhood bar. It doesn't look like anything that special, just a place to hang out and watch games. The beer selection is pretty good though. It often has a draft on special for $3 or about. There's a nice choice of local craft beers too. As for the food, it's not all bad. Of course there's the typical bar stuff like greasy fries and wings. Also healthier options like the Hummus Dip. It's $11 for a big portion of hummus with pitas and vegetables. Also there's burgers. They have an Impossible Burger for plant based eating. Has room inside for big gatherings, and for a bar it's pretty clean. It has good drink specials and both greasy and healthy food. This is one of those sports bars with tons of televisions.

    Best bar around West Ridge. The menu is yummy the drinks menu is ample and staff is super nice. There's televisions wrapped around for sports a pool table and darts. Easy access via Western or Touhy buses. Parking accessible around the bar.

    Pretty average wings that can be found in any local bar. I do appreciate these weren't those unappetizing jumbo wings. These were the perfect size. There's a lot of reviews proclaiming Mullen's awesomeness. I suspect the folks running the bar are really good at making the bar a cool hangout. I'll try again to experience the vibe first-hand. For now. ..3.4 stars for the wings.

    Good neighborhood bar & grill. We were in this neighborhood looking at new places to live and decided to stop in to Mullen's..... which seems to be the best choice in this vicinity. It looks like a total dive bar, but felt very comfortable inside. It's the kind of place that seemed like everyone sort of knew each other. The menu said they have "Award Winning" wings.....unfortunately I didn't get to try them. We ordered The Irish Burger and a Reuben....both were very good. I'd like to go back again and try the wings. The food and service were both good, but I have 1 main issue which is probably the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars. I ordered my burger medium and it was really more medium well or well done. I usually let that slide because I'd rather it be overcooked than under. What bothered me was that wasn't the only issue. We ordered sweet potato tater tots and got regular instead. I mentioned it to our server and he put in the order again for the sweet potato ones. They came out when we were already finishing up, so we didn't eat them.....but we still got charged for them. My recommendation is if you mess up the order then comp it....dont bring it out last minute and still charge us for it. It wasn't crowded and it was just 2 of us ordering 2 meals....so if there's 2 mistakes I have to ask that they review their process. I'm still giving 4 stars as I thought it was a decent place.

    For a neighborhood bar, this place is great. They play UFC fights, which brings my boyfriend and I here on a monthly basis. The place is fairly large, but if there's a fight on, you'll need to get there around 9-9:30 to ensure a seat. They also have a pool table and a bunch of dart boards if that's your thing- pretty sure they have a league too. As for food and drinks, I've never had something I didn't like. The domestic drafts are $3 on Saturday nights, which is generally when we come. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a neighborhood bar.

We stopped in today to grab a little lunch. Our server was extremely friendly! But the service was lacking. Our meal came out. We had to ask for napkins. Then we had to ask for the side of chipotle mayo that was supposed to be served with it . Then I realized we didn't have any forks or knives, but by this time I didn't want to ask anymore. So I just used the toothpick to spread the chipotle mayo. The cheesesteak sliders sounded so delicious. But there was barely any meat on them. We took off the top bun, but even then not enough meat. Listen, I am a true Evanstion and I really want them to succeed! But they're definitely going to need to up their game. On the positive side. There were many large green TVs with lots of football! It'd be a super great place to go watch some football. Definitely give it a try for Monday night Bears game.

Once was a…read morefundraiser where they served their excellent thin crust pizzas, and the next time for a repast in the private room upstairs. (It's accessible by stairs only) but a great space for a private party with its own bar and bathrooms. For that they chose a few different food items served buffet style and everything was good. I had a bad experience at one of the other restaurants their owner owns and he was kind enough to send a gift card in the mail. Tonight my daughter and used it for dinner, ordering a chicken Caesar wrap and a burger. The burger was quality beef, a huge patty on a toasted brioche bun and I got onion strings on it. Love those. They forgot the chicken in my daughter's Chicken Caesar wrap. Kind of ironic since the gift card used was to compensate for a previous mishap and then this happened. I didn't bother calling, I just know for next time to make sure. We both got fries and they were cold by the time we drove the 10 minutes home. Disappointing but we put them in the air fryer. They have pizzas, salads, a few pasta dishes, other sandwiches, etc., and now we are familiar and may come again.

    This was quite possibly the most money spent on the worst meal in my history of eating. I will 100%…read morenever order from this place again. The pretzel, while huge, was literally coated in salt to the degree it was inedible. The cheese sauce that came with it was grainy, separated, and terrible. The pesto pasta was bland and hardly had any amount of sauce to be calling it a pesto pasta. The chicken quesadilla had completely different ingredients than the menu, and it seemed like they just threw it together. Never again. If I could give zero stars, I would.

It's located right down the street from Northwestern University's football stadium (whatever the heck they're naming it). This is a nice hidden gem in Evanston. Not located downtown, it may have a chance to stick around a while. As Jane V. noted in her review, you are greeted by a delicious smoky smell when you enter the restaurant. It was an inviting smell (at least for me), others in our group thought we were walking into a barbecue joint and were less than thrilled, but the menu put them at ease as it has a lot of options. There were five of us and one couple decided to share a couple appetizers as their entrees. They ordered the Cauliflower Buffalo Bites, and the Macho Nacho. They were huge portions easily enough for us all to share. However, my wife and I don't see eye-to-eye with our eating habits (she is mostly vegetarian and I'm a card-carrying carnivore), so she was not about to share the smoky wings and cheesy tots with me. I opted for the Chicken Vesuvio entree, and she and our other friend both ordered the Inside-Out Grilled Cheese. I would say most the sandwiches looked good (no portobello for me, thanks). I would say though, the desserts are pretty generic, so we opted out, but their is a door inside the restaurant to the donut shop next door (which was closed), but I wanted to try that place, so I'll have to make another trek out there for them and review them later. I'm amazed that the donut shop, DB3 Donuts, does not appear on their menu at all, despite having a connecting door from one establishment to the other, but alas, I've heard their apple crisp and brownie are good, but neither were too appealing that night. All meals were delicious and I definitely need to go back and try other dishes. And may DB3, if they are open. Give this place some love as it is a nice gem in Evanston.

So much so that I ordered the smoked Sampler plate, and was I glad I did. I started off with their Top O' The Morning special Saint Patrick's cocktail (Titos, Curacao, and orange juice shaken and poured over ice). I really loved this drink. My hubby had a Margarita that was just delightful. Our appetizers were: Angry Shrimp (really delicious) shrimp with a spicy tomato garlic sauce. Served over polenta cake. Ahi Tuna Wanton (mango jicama salsa, avocado, and teriyaki sauce) This should be their signature appetizer).The presentation is impeccable. It appealed to our eyes before the 1st bite. And,the first bite, as well as the rest, was wonderful. We would gladly return here just for this. Our entrees were: Grilled Salmon with corn risotto, grilled asparagus, smoked tomato aioli. The salmon was well cooked to medium, not too dry, and not too rare. The plate was well balanced and everything was very tasty. Smoked Sampler My favorite! Rib tips, brisket, pulled pork, Texas toast, cole slaw. For dessert: Chocolate Brownie Apple Crisp Both were so good that we did not want to share! The next time you are in the Evanston area, you really must stop in for their delicious food!

If you are like me, trying to make that light, you will never see this place, but it is there and it is super cute. There is a lot of dark wood that just gives the space a cozy feel. There are also two garage doors that I assume can be opened when the weather is good. For you folks with dogs, beer drinkers who drink beyond the basic beers, bubble drinkers (like me) and those that want to bring in their own food...this is your place. We went there to meet some friends and to watch some football. For such a small place, they do have plenty of TVs with multiple games going. It was great to be able to have pizza delivered, with the bartender providing paper plates, and napkins for us to use. The bartender was also very cool about bringing our drinks over or picking up empties as we were sitting a a table away from the bar. I didn't get his name, but he was cool. There is street parking but not on Peterson itself. I would say, depending on the day, it might be hard to find a spot as you have to park on Ridge or some of the side streets. There is a new Metra station down the street that is about 2 blocks from the bar. Not sure if there is public parking available, but worth checking out. I could see myself coming here just because I can bring my own food and still get bubbles. While they do not carry bubbles by the bottle, the stuff they had in the can was good. I would love to go there when the weather is nicer and they have the garage doors open. And it is a happy compromise to hanging out with friends who have dogs that they just can't live without who also like to drink. This is a place we can definitely hang out with them and have a good time.
