Very chilled little bar in a weird location on Peterson, about a block west of Clark Street…read more Barrelman is located on the short stretch of Peterson that is between Clark and Ridge. 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.

If you're searching for the perfect spot to catch a Bears game with family and friends, The Wild…read moreGoose should be at the top of your list. My recent visit, during the season's final Bears matchup, proved just how special this place is. Even with the restaurant packed and buzzing with excitement, the staff created an atmosphere that felt warm, welcoming, and comfortable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and friendly energy. The staff was not only attentive but also mindful of everyone's comfort and safety, watching the door so the space never became a hazard. Despite the crowds, there was no sense of chaos--just a lively, fun vibe that made us feel right at home. Service at The Wild Goose is impressively quick and thoughtful. Our food and drinks arrived promptly, and we never felt like we were waiting, even though the bar was bustling. Special thanks to Will, Liz, Eddie, and Andrew, who made sure every detail was attended to. They checked in frequently, making sure our table had everything we needed and that our experience was as enjoyable as possible. The food lived up to the game day hype. The wings were outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly sauced. Drinks were delivered quickly and kept the good times rolling. But the real highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert. It was so delicious that I even ordered a serving for the table next to mine, convinced that everyone should experience it. If sweets are your thing, this dessert comes highly recommended. What truly sets The Wild Goose apart is the personal touch that runs through every aspect of the service. Sharing a dessert, cheering with friends, and being surrounded by attentive staff made the evening unforgettable. The Wild Goose knows how to make every guest feel special, even on their busiest nights. All in all, The Wild Goose is a wonderful place, full of great people and top-notch service. Whether you're in the mood for sports or simply want a memorable night out, you'll find the perfect blend of hospitality and flavor here. Don't miss the wings, and be sure to save room for the bread pudding!

As I was parking diagonally opposite the bar, the car alarm of a blue jeep in front sounded. I do not know what caused it - I did not come close to the other vehicle. Perhaps it was the fact that the dog that had been abandoned inside the car (it was 32f out so perhaps it was trying to keep warm) was jumping all over the place and set it off. Just as I was about to exit my car, a woman came up shouting "What the fuck are you doing? Do not fuck up my car you fucking asshole." When I stated that I had not come within two feet the other car, the lady identified herself as the owner of Wild Goose. Putting two and two together, I would guess that she saw me parking near her car and was in the bar setting off the alarm with her keys. I told her that I had planned on stopping in with my children but that this would no longer be the case. She replied, "Just go then. It's a great place." In short, the owner is a complete jerk. My kids had to witness the whole thing and all because she wanted to have two parking spaces to herself. Top this off with the fact that she left her dog in the car in freezing cold weather, I won't be returning.

The place is very popular and it's evident by the number of people coming here for lunch and dinner. So overall, it's a 4 stars because I'm dope and I round down :) You really can't go wrong here for lunch, I've come here three times at noon and it got busy, and I do see the dinner crowd when I'm driving by and it's also pretty lively. They have a variety of burgers with assorted toppings but I will have to say that their desserts are incredible - the sticky cake and chocolate cake are both top notch. You can also swap out your fries for a wonderful salad in order to eat healthier. Do not miss the chicken breast nuggets with maple syrup - That!! Is my favorite item....I'll be back for Happy Hour and beers....

Believe it or not, my love wears a claddagh ring that I purchased for her when we enjoyed an…read moreamazing trip to Ireland earlier this year. So we knew we had to visit the Claddagh Ring Pub one of these days. This neighborhood pub on Foster Avenue received some interesting "pub" earlier this season when they promised to pay for all patrons' tabs if the Bears lost to the Broncos, and sure enough the Bears blew a big lead and Claddagh Ring Pub wound up on the news because of the promo. We finally made it here one random Sunday afternoon as we stumbled in after another Bears loss. The bar was pretty packed, but the owner was super friendly to us. He noted that there was a back room with some elbow room, along with some free tavern style pizza that was not gobbled up yet by the fans. Later when I went up to the bar to order drinks, he made sure that I had the chance to place a drink order with minimal waiting. What a swell guy! Loved my pint of Guinness! Perhaps we looked like newbies, but he really seemed to care about us with his customer service. Check out their website for sports specials and happy hour deals. After our enjoyable visit, my love and I look forward to a return visit to Claddagh Ring Pub.

Good Delivery Food, But In-Person Service Needs Major Attention…read more I chose PrimeTime Bar for a friend's birthday celebration last night, fully expecting a great experience because I've always been so impressed with their delivery. The kitchen here usually delivers, but the in-person visit was unfortunately dragged down by highly non-attentive service. The bar was pretty quiet and not many people were there at the time. There's open seating, so we quickly sat ourselves. After no initial greeting from the server, we ordered a few drinks from the bartender. We sat for a staggering 45 minutes without a server checking in, offering drinks, or even bringing basic water to the table. I eventually had to get up to request water. When we did finally order, we ordered a few burgers and wings. The burgers were good as expected. The wings had a somewhat strange, possibly pre-breaded texture and were very large, although the flavor was okay. Not to mention the wings were dropped off without plates, so our party of 4 ate on napkins. To top it all off, we had to flag down our server just to pay the bill. It was incredibly disappointing service, especially when the Smashburger is above average. I won't be recommending the in-person experience to anyone anytime soon.

There's many more in bottles and cans including of course Old Style. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. There's also of course the greatest worst liquor ever, Malort. Have some fun times here whether just chilling or watching a few games. It's located at the corner of Foster and Winchester pretty close to the Ravenswood Metra station.

I'm all for giving second chances and everyone's entitled to a bad day. Problem is, on our second visit the bartender could care less we were there. After finally getting a food order in, we watched the chef use a tasting spoon and put it right back into a prepped aioli bowl that was portioned & sent out with our fries (gross). I spoke with friends about our experience and quickly learned owner Christina has been taking advantage of and using the queer community for years. She's known for acting like she's better than everyone and that attitude was certainly reflected when we supported their business. Representation matters and this business is a colossal disappointment for our community -- there are better places to spend your money, folks!
