Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. QR code menus are at the table. Quick service - especially since I'm pretty sure he was the only one working (doing both bar and tables). Typical bar setting and food. Chicken fingers were good. Chicken quesadilla had awesome presentation but fell short in the taste department. read more

I used to live in this neighborhood 20 years ago and old town pub had some of the best pizza in the neighborhood, oh how times have changed. I was headed to the Bears game from the suburbs with four kids and a buddy. The pizza shows up to the table and I was in disbelief, a completely undercooked terrible looking pie shows up. It was completely white on top, undercooked, zero sauce, it was by far the worst pizza I've ever had in the city of Chicago.......chucky cheese had better pizza. I don't know what happened to this place. It used to be amazing. The service was terrible. The food was terrible. I don't know how they have any customers read more

Absolutely love this place! For sure many reasons I love this place. I've been coming here for over 15 years and the staff has always been so lovely. The food is consistently great. They're spicy margaritas some of my favz (who knew??). Highly recommend :-) read more

We stopped here when looking to watch a game during March Madness, everywhere else was packed. There was a table w/2 chairs available, but we needed 5. Eventually, we were able to get more chairs, with no help from the staff. We ordered drinks and guacamole & chips and, the appetizer sampler. The food was decent, nothing special. We found it odd that they wouldn't make any cocktails other than a 2 ingredient one (i.e. Jack & Coke, Gin & tonic, etc...) not sure why, too busy? Bartender that wasn't experienced? Odd for sure. Probably won't come back here in the future. read more

This is a relaxed, unpretentious space. Think of it as your local "Cheers" location. They treat regulars as friends and even know their favorite drinks! Good food selection for a dive bar. read more

Bar review only, but we had a great time! Stopped in for a couple of drinks before heading to our dinner reservation a few blocks away. Sat next to a couple of locals and four folks visiting from the east coast. Between conversations with them and the bartenders we had a great time. Good and reasonably priced drinks, lively conversation, and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely stop in again to hang out and need to try some food next time! read more

I was looking for a dive bar for a quick drink. Went in and sat down at the bar. The place was not busy at all, plenty of open seats and tables. The bartender never once greeted me or asked me what I wanted to order. She was far too busy talking to some guy at the bar. She wouldn't even look at me when I looked at her to try and order. Basic customer service is not hard to ask for. If you work in the business of serving customers, you should be greeting people. I waited 10 minutes and left without word. Ridiculous. read more

I have been to Old Town Pub a handful of times with friends. It's a great local bar with good specials and pretty good bar food. I didn't try the Buffalo chicken wrap (one of my friends had it) but the fries were top notch!! The staff can be a bit rushed, but only if it's a busy weekend night. They have plenty of TVs and have touch tunes with good music playing. read more

The food here is always always always amazing. Best Moscow mules you'll ever have! I also recommend the jalapeño burger, their seasonal chicken pot pie. They work like family here and everyone is friendly. read more

Old Town Pub - Shrimp Quesadillas - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

loved this dive bar for a chill, laid-back night of yummy pub food and beer! i liked the pizza (always a trusty option), but the NACHOS!! probably some of the best nachos i've had in a while. i think what got me was the cheese - it was rich and warm but didn't make the chips soggy (in fact, they were veeery crispy), and the toppings-to-chips ratio was perfect. what we ordered: - buffalo chicken pizza - house nachos - beer hug, stella artois read more

I came here with a friend and sat outside-then inside. While the bar area is small-it is a nice place to have a conversation. Both inside and outside. I want to come back and try the pizza. The staff was laid back, yet attentive and "down-to-earth"plus respectful and professional! read more

The Bartender with the braids was rude af! Budding in on me and my friend conversation and being hostile. She gave me water down drinks and never cared about the fact I thought they were disgusting. She even was trying to flirt with the person I was with as if we were not there together! Weird.. NO HOSPITALITY read more

KATE IS IT! Give this babe a raise!!! She was so good to us and gave us the best recommendations and entertained our crazy asses! We ended up staying for more than our expected one drink. (So what if it was 5 drinks) The regulars were easy going people with even more recs (love you Chris and Steve). read more

Pretty solid no frills kinda bar. What you would expect from a neighborhood pub, friendly service, cold beer and good food! Pretty spacious on the inside. Good space at the bar and a good number of tables. There's a Juke box, dart board and TVs for entertainment. I enjoy the outdoor front patio. It gives a good view up and down Wells as well as the park across the street. Great for people watching or more importantly dog watching! read more

Finally dropped in after living in the neighborhood for years... beautiful holiday lighting and REAL garlands decorate this cozy bar. Good music, friendly bartender and fun chats with other patrons. But oh my, don't be fooled by the other food pics posted on Yelp... the home made chicken pot pie knocked it outta the park! read more

Amazing thin crust pizza, and hands down one Chicago's best burgers. I always recommend the Wells Street burger, Margherita Pizza and tacos. The chicken and steak tacos are always delicious! Also do not sleep on the calzones! So delicious! Always great beer on tap and love sitting on their patio! Bonus points for Touch Tunes! read more

This is a fun spot. I took a Friday off work and we were looking for a casual spot to grab lunch on Wells. Most of the usual spots were closed, so we headed in to Old Town Pub. It was empty, but more people came in by the time we left. We were looking for typical bar food, and that's what it was! I loved the tater tots and the nachos. The wings were ok--the regular sauce ended up being kind of sweet which was weird. The service was great though and it was a fun spot I'll definitely be back to for bar food or a fun night out. read more

Great place to chill and the food is a bonus! This is the only bar in Chicago that has Boulevard beer on tap and it is delicious!! We also tried the fire tots and Mac & cheese pizza. For bar food, it was really good!!! The staff is okay extremely friendly and just the vibes are amazing! read more

I always pass the sign that says this dive has the best thin crust pizza in town, so I finally went in and immediately became disappointed once the pizza came out. It's a glorified version of Digiorno. Bleh. This is a diveyest of dives when you need to come in for friendly bar service and cheap $5-6 bottles. I won't get the pizza again though. read more

The bouncer was drunk and smoking a j. We walk up and he's instantly yelling at us saying "you don't think I actually work here??" And then put his keys in the door to prove to us. Didn't let us in. The most bizarre experience I've ever been through. I can't believe an actual bar would hire this clown. We weren't even drunk and it's instantly making us feel unwelcome. It was absolutely bizarre. I can't rate a bar I can't even get into without being yelled at more than one star. Hire a new bouncer. read more

Seems like a spot for locals, but it wasn't too bad during the afternoon. A few roust customers (high noise levels) made it kind of annoying and hard to hear. With the all brick walls everything seems to carry. The beer was cheap with $5 bottles, so that's a plus. Didn't order any food. read more

My friend and I came here for the first time on April 27th and we had a lovely time. Although my order was put in wrong, Calvin made it right! He even went above and beyond and wrapped my leftovers in tinfoil, as I wouldn't have been able to take a box of food into any other bars. Thank you Calvin! We will be back!! read more

Its old and pretty bare bones. If you want a few drinks and no real distractions, Its a solid spot. Dont go here for dates. -Yale Reardon read more

I ordered the blackened chicken wrap. When ordering, I asked, "is there mayo on this?" I was told no. Great! The wrap comes out... and guess what? The sauce that is used on the chicken is MAYO-BASED. Umm, that would have been REALLY helpful to know. I was with work colleagues, and in a hurry, so I managed to eat it.. but really - if it's mayo-based, and I ask if there is mayo... please tell me! Thankfully, I really liked the tater tots, and was able to fill up on those. The Diet Coke, however, didn't taste like proper Diet Coke. Either flat or a non-branded version, not sure. What I did like is that there were ample TVs showing the World Cup matches. The service was super attentive - perhaps a little too attentive - but I'd rather have that than non-existent. I'm still annoyed about the mayo. read more

Old Town neighborhood staple, good for an after-movie, after-theater, after-Second City beer or drink. That is, if you don't mind semi-pornographic paintings, that trust me- are easily overlooked. I couldn't believe how fresh my Fat Tire and Stella were. I believe this place wins the "Cleanest Tap in the City" award! The jukebox is nothing but jazz, and I mean deep cuts folks! Somebody knows their jazz here. Once a smoke-heavy den of iniquity with characters that seemed to be held over from a meat-packing strike, this neighborhood bar is getting renewed life. read more

After shopping in the neighborhood we ducked in to OTP for some lunch and brews. It was pretty dead when we got there, but people started rolling out of bed by the time we left and the bar had become a popular place. Food is standard pub fare. My wife had the veggie pizza and I passed on the tempting bbq, burger, slider options and went with the jerk chicken. They were both good. I wanted the jerk to have more heat, but it was fine. They also have some pretty decent tap selections here as well. Our beverage of choice was the Rogue Yellow Snow, which we had a few rounds of. I haven't seen this IPA since we were in Oregon. Sadly for Kris, her Irish got their butts kicked along with every other decent team this week. That was much to the liking of our Big Ten waitress. read more

Completely pleasant spot to visit on a Sunday. We took a break from an Epic Walk to have a perfectly made Bloody Mary and hang out for awhile. The bartender was very charming and friendly and let my 7star companion plug in his perpetually drained cell phone to charge. This place looks like it's been here longer than it has. Maybe I was biased by the utterly great day I had yesterday, but this place is really nice, comfortable, and I'd go back. read more

Best coleslaw I've had.. and that's coming from a true Wisconsinite. Blackened chicken wrap and chicken tenders also phenomenal

Although I love me some old town pub, it can be a hit or miss. things worth pointing out: Great cheap spot in old town. Most bars in the area are crazy busy all the time. Not that old town pub is empty or anything, but it's always a good middle spot. Most of the time there's a place to sit, drinks are cheap, and it's super convenient. They rarely have enough servers/bartenders though, so don't expect to get drinks fast. They get a tad annoyed when you come to the bar from a table, which is usually fine, but there are times where you've got to do it if you've had one drink and no one cares enough to come ask for another order. Overall though.. great dive-ish bar for a normal night out. read more

Convenient and cheaply priced pub with lots of seating. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of tables which were safely spaced. Servers and bartenders were very nice and came by often to clean up any empty drinks. read more

Food: 2 Decor: 1 Service: 1 We booked the entire place for 70-80 people for dinner. Put simply, they didn't prepare for us, and most of us spent the majority of our time waiting for pizza to arrive. I had a couple slices, and the pizza was very mediocre. read more

When you're from out of town it's hard to find a good bar. As we were walking through old town we stumbled upon this small pub. We walked in and ordered a drink at the bar. The next thing we know we're engaged in a wonderful conversation with the other bar patrons and the bartender. This bar was super welcoming, and left a great taste in my mouth for the town. read more

Old Town Pub is located right on Wells street in Old Town, convenient for me since I live down the street. I have been here a few times and its your typical no frills pub. They have great daily specials and a nice al fresco spot to have some drinks/food outside during the warmer months. I particularly like sitting inside and watching tv but both are good. The spinach artichoke dip is unreal...... literally amazing. I also tried the fire tots which were basically the smallest portion of tots topped with nacho cheese sauce and some salsa mixture. It was a pretty small portion for $6 but what can you do. We bought a restaurant.com gift cert while we were there and saved $15 off our total bill, not bad at all. I'll def be back here again. read more

After a night of holiday activities we searched everywhere for a place to grab a bite and a drink with open tables. Old town pub had a table in the back near a large tv so it worked perfectly. We ordered a pitcher of draft beer (great taste and cold) and ordered dinner. I had the stromboli. It was very cheesy and filled with great ingredients. The outside was a bit plain but tasted really good when dipped in the sauce. My boyfriend ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and said it was pretty tasty. The other couple in our group had the pizza. They said it was pretty good but not far above what you'd expect anywhere else in chicago. The place itself was very pub-like (obviously) but could have much better bathrooms. There was a wood slab missing from the bathroom door or what we called... a peephole. Not cool. Other than that it was alright, nothing too fancy by any means but a good place to pop in for a drink and food when no where else is open. read more

The woman behind the bar is very rude and disrespectful! I work in the Gold Coast so I visit and support the businesses in the surrounding areas daily this was by far the rudest encounter by far! She not only was rude and disrespectful which cause me to take my business elsewhere! She yelled and tried to fight my guest I was with in front of multiple people because she was angry we left! and a witness even recorded it and provided us the video! Was so embarrassed I brought so one there!It's so unprofessional to cause drama with your customers and attempt to provoke violence. read more
