Wanted a bite to eat after a game at Wrigley! Old Crow is extremely close to the stadium and despite it being extremely busy we were seated quickly and had really great service. The huge pretzel is more than enough for 2 to 3 people, and comes with two dipping sauces. Served warm goes so good with a cold drink. The brisket sliders were phenomenal with a really rich barbecue sauce and well seasoned fries and a creamy coleslaw. Super happy we stopped here and highly recommend!
Came here before a cubs game, rooftop was real nice. It was packed but the bartenders were fast and on point. Got some beers and a whiskey. Fun times for sure. I didn't eat but the place smelled like BBQ and the food I seen in people's table looked fire.
Great spot on Clark street for the games and fun atmosphere. It's huge but always seems to be packed. They always have good music going as well. Drinks are good and so is the grub - this time around I got the buffalo chicken salad, which was a big portion with a lot of breaded crispy buffalo chicken. The Mac and cheese and fries were also delicious and good portions to share. Everything was at a very reasonable price as well! Quick service too.
Old Crow Smokehouse is one of the best places for just about anything. The food is amazing, specifically their chicken sandwich, fries, and sliders! The staff from servers to bouncers are well trained and amazing at what they do. Whether you're there to eat and watch a game during the day, or kicking back some drinks at night, Old Crow is the place to be!
Old Crow is a staple in the Wrigleyville neighborhood in Chicago. I've been coming here for years and it's usually a pretty good time! Old Crow is always part of all the bar crawls, all the events, all the holiday fun stuff, etc. This place is BIG - it has a huge base level that's split into two with an upstairs rooftop / patio. I've seldom been here where it isn't packed - for such a big space, it gets crowded really fast especially on weekends and game days. They surprisingly have good food for a bar that isn't usually used for a dinner place necessarily. They have super yummy nachos and BBQ options. I also love their signature cocktails which are served in a mason jar. I much rather order those than a simple drink here. Sometimes the pricing is a little whack - for a simple vodka cranberry it's $11, and for a vodka Red Bull it's $15. For the same price I can get a nice signature cocktail at other bars. The upstairs is a fun space in the summer when it's nice. There's tables and lounges (I think you have to pay to reserve/sit at the lounges but I could be wrong). Old Crow always goes hard for holidays - it's completely decked out currently for the holidays and it looks awesome! I'm not a big fan of Wrigleyville in general, but Old Crow is a good bar. It brings in a young crowd, has good signature drinks, and is spacious even though it usually gets incredibly busy. I'd recommend it for a stop in your night for a drink!
old crow is one of the Big Spots in wrigleyville and it's definitely a good time. The strawberry hoedown drink was rlly good! i would definitely get it again. one of my friends got the drink with blackberries and that one was also good. rly refreshing. i found it unique that most of the drinks have moonshine in them. in wrigley i struggle to sometimes find drinks that aren't unbearably strong because the whole point is kinda just to bar hop around this street and get super wasted but i liked that their drinks are actually enjoyable lol. ive never eaten here and was surprised by how good the food actually was. i got the brisket sliders - the brisket was delicious but i wish there was more coleslaw in them. the fries were pretty great and they give a TON. this is a good place to come and watch a game and hang with friends! good service too. I'd definitely recommend coming here and potentially making it your first stop if you're planning on bar hopping and need to get some food in you first.
Great drinks, great fries, great vibes! Blueberry Crow was on the sweeter side, good amount of alcohol, exactly like how I like it! Fries really crispy, came with yum yum sauce.
Bbq and beers make good for a pregame slugfest at Wrigley. Lilly took excellent care of us and got us in and out so we wouldn't miss the game. She was manning twelve tables, during a crowded per game. It was maybe a lot, but she took care of us like a champ. The fries were good as a side and I was impressed with the pit sandwich. It was plenty of sandwich that paired well with that Goose Green Line. My brother thought his Nashville chicken sandwich was pretty good too. It was flavorful and not overbreaded. It would be a good place to go for a quick bite, and certainly up for consideration for a pre/post game celebrations. The environment was very busy. It was casually loud and plenty of folks were in Cubs and Sox gear for the Crosstown Series.
Don't understand the bad reviews. The atmosphere is amazing here, lots of space - plus live music. Came on Sunday afternoon for a game, and couldn't ask for more - speedy and accommodating service, large screens, enclosed patio and amazing music. Go to place from now on.
Yum!!!! Great bar snacks & really fun place as long as you beat the crowd from wrigley after a cubs game ends. Always has good music & even when there is a live band!
A casual but cute hangout place with good BBQ. It's great for a night out with awesome live music (usually country)! Honestly, I though the drinks were average, but it makes up for it with a lively ambiance. The high ceiling and extra space inside is the best part. Never too stuffy! - AT
This review reflects only the food, not the service; the service was solid. The food is simply not good. I've had my fair share of nachos and wings, and this place doesn't measure up. The concept of brisket nachos is great, but if you're just going to slap it on as a garnish, what's the point? I wouldn't mind the brisket itself, but the nachos tasted as if they were coated in sea salt. If you want to find a fairly unseasoned chip, you have to dig through refried beans (at least, I think that's what it is) and taco meat sauce. This dish had the potential to be great but fell short-- real short. Now, let's talk about the chicken wings. I'm here for smoked wings, so I asked about the sauces and chose a honey-something flavor. When I received the wings, they looked lightly fried, with a solid crisp on the skin. However, once I bit into them, I noticed the chicken was slightly undercooked, as if they were taken out of the "fryer" too early. All in all, skip it if you can. Oh, the Bud Light was great.

What a great way to start our game day in wrigleyville! Got there early for cubs 150, were able to enjoy drinks and food on the upstairs patio. Seating was plentiful and spacious, bar staff were incredibly nice and attentive. Food was delicious and at a great price. Whole experience made our gameday one to remember. We had a party of about 8. Would recommend getting there early on a Cubs game day as it got decently busy closer to first pitch! read more
I was at old Crow this past weekend as they were doing a Wrigleyville country bar crawl. The first bar open was old crow so I stopped by to get a couple drinks and listen to some live music. The music was really good, and the ambience was great, especially with the good weather. Old crow was also doing an open buffet with the bar crawl so I was able to get some of their pulled pork and short ribs that you can see in the picture. The short ribs were perfectly seasoned and super tender. They were the main star at this event, I would definitely recommend buying this whenever you are at old crow. I really like the venue and I will definitely be there again for another bar crawl or if I'm going out with friends. read more

Fun bar if you like country music. Crowd is definitely younger twenties which can be a little annoying lol depending on your age read more
Wanted to watch some World Cup soccer after visiting another shop a few doors up. Popped in here! Nice big TV, good crowd. The Bloody Marys were definitely tasty. That's where it ended. Ordered the Breakfast Burger, and it was possibly the greasiest thing I've ever eaten. Bleagh. Our server was friendly, but somewhat inattentive. Oh, Wrigleyville - you never fail to disappoint. read more

I LOVE OLD CROW. This is one of my all time favorite bars I Chicago, especially for football (go buckeyes). Anyways, they had some changes in the kitchen not too long ago (I believe a new chef) & the quality has gone down TREMENDOUSLY. I ordered the mini smash burgers and came out on these dusty, cold buns with cheese barely melted on served with fries that tasted like they've been sitting out for days. Terrible. I hate to say nothing about it was good, but I'd be lying if not. Please bring back the OG seasoning for the French fries on top of everything else. Anyways still would 10/10 recommend coming to this place but maybe just for the vibes not the food read more
I loved my first visit to Old Crow! It's a classic outdoor Wrigleyville bar with fun Nashville-esque vibes. I loved their giant screen to watch the Cubs game on! It was a busy game day, but we were still able to scout out a table to sit at & it was relatively easy to get ahold of the bartender. Food and drinks were out quick! I got a Topo Chico Hard Seltzer and I loved that they had them in glass bottles. My friends from the area swore by them having great chicken tenders - and I was definitely skeptical, but I was proven wrong. They were amazing - and not like any other bar chicken tender! They had a corn-flake like breading and nice pieces of chicken. Definitely enough to share with another person (the picture attached is part-way through chowing down on them!). The fries had a sweet bbq rub that I didn't mind, and the meal also came with a side of ranch. Overall, I'll definitely be back next time in town - and want to try some more of their food! read more

Went here before a concert for drinks and food! Loved the rooftop and quick service, as well as the many food options. Was filling to share with 2 other friends. This is a good stop if you're looking for a country themed bar with great barbecue. read more

The crowd this bar attracts is terrifying. It's all young adults that probably went to a state school in the Midwest and moved to chicago to work in insurance or something. Not a fun place to be under the influence. Also, we got there when there were still servers taking orders, and no one came up to us to take our order. We ended up leaving because the vibes were bad. Three stars because the last time I went to Old Crow, they made me a crazy strong Long Island and there was live music. Fun place to stop by at like midnight after getting drunk somewhere else. Not a fun place to hang out. read more

Update. The GM contacted us regarding the situation. He was understanding and ended up comping our meal. Sidenote...before any of this happened, we had the wings. They were REALLY GOOD. read more

What a fun place to pregame before the Cubs game. We were among the first to arrive before a Friday afternoon game. Nice selection of bar food along with numerous beers. We shared a huge pretzel, chicken quesadilla, chicken strips and fries and some jerk chicken. You can definitely tell the chicken is smoked, very flavorful. Our server was very attentive and checked on us regularly. Hanging out on the rooftop with fans blowing was the best read more

I wasn't expecting to enjoy my food here as much as I did!! The chicken tenders were crispy, and delicious. I've been here a few times for drinks but never food and I was pleasantly surprised! VIBE: Very busy during the day on the weekends, especially when there is a cubs game. Expect to wait in line to get in. They have an indoor section as well as a rooftop which is great for nice days! DRINKS: Not crazy overpriced, but expect to pay around $13 for a mixed drink/cocktail. read more

Had a great time on Halloween. Found this place on Eventbrite while looking around for something spooky to do for the coolest holiday on the calendar. For $10 (early bird rate), the organizers managed to arrange a buffet and 2 complimentary drinks for such a low cost. The place was spacious the staff was awesome and the TVs screens and music really set the mood. With high top and table seating options were plentiful, the bar cocktails were nice a boozy to complement the night. Sweet place to checkout if looking to hang with friends or go on a casual date. read more
