If Parlay isn't on your list of places to go to for catching a game, having brunch or just kicking it - what is your problem?! The environment is lively, the food is great, the drinks are hitting, and there are TVs literally everywhere - so if you want to watch college football on Saturday OR catch any of the NFL games on Sunday, this is your spot! The DJ they had was ON POINT too! They have a FULL BRUNCH MENU AND GAME DAY MENU all in one spot and there is so much to choose from on either one; there is literally something for everybody, no matter the type of mood you're in! What we tried: Basket of loaded fries - they were crispy and never got soggy; that's sorcery! Blackened chicken quesadilla - they seasoned that blackened chicken down! This was so good! Classic Buffalo wings - these were perfect. Fried perfect. Buffalo sauce perfect. No complaints! Double smash burger - everyone that tried this at the table was amazed how good it was.Those two double smash patties were ON POINT! Buffalo Chicken pizza - I totally understand why everyone loves this now! This pizza was so good! The crispy chicken that was on top has so much flavor which was great in addition to the buffalo ranch sauce that came with the pizza. I could eat that pizza anytime! One of the large format drinks is something that you should definitely get. They are so much fun to have at the table! I went on a Saturday during the college football games and even with it being busy, our waitress, and the manager were still very attentive! This is definitely one of my top choices as far as enjoying a place in the vibe, while enjoying yourself with friends! read more

Went for $20 wings night and it was a good deal! Wings were kinda small, but to be expected for bottomless wings. Service was amazing!! read more

Love this local spot! All the food here is great- I dream about the buffalo chicken dip daily. Their miso wings are soooo good too! Also came here for happy hour the other day! They had such good deals and was busy and fun! read more

I've had the most fun here watching games. Best TV set up, best sound, great food and staff has great attitudes. You can tell management is good to their people bc the workers all seem to like each other and smile a lot. All the waitresses have been great, but I have a soft spot for Kendall:) read more

currently my favorite place for happy hour!!! the $5 spritzes are SO good and strong enough it's totally worth it; the peach is my absolute favorite but the strawberry and cucumber are also amazing. this is definitely a fratty sports bar vibe but i've been coming on wednesday's at 5pm with a couple friends and there's literally no one around and the service is super fast/easy. everything ab the experience was ideal; fried pickles, fries & cheese curds were delicious and the drinks were too. it's literally the "this and yap" meme- come with friends ready to gossip about their week and just sit back and enjoy. read more

Last night at a ticketed event, my group experienced repeated microaggressions and unprofessional behavior from stafi. A bartender ignored us, spoke negatively about us to friends sitting at the bar, and openly said she "wasn't serving us" When my friend tried to ask when the open bar ended, the bartender yelled at her, escalating the situation. When we tried to explain what was happening, staff talked over us and dismissed our concerns. Management oftered a verbal apology but took no action. Our drinks were taken away, we were told to leave, and a stafi member attempted to physically escort my friend out. As Black and Brown guests, the pattern of behavior made it clear we were not welcome. This did not feel like a safe or inclusive space--or a place for Black or Brown people. I'm sharing this so no one else hasto experience this. read more

Been wanting to stop here the food was good and service was fast it was barely busy guess we came in on a slow day good for us lol. read more

I went to parlay on a Friday afternoon after going to the Cubs game. The happy hour deals were fantastic. My friends and I went for one dollar bottles of Bud Light. unbelievable deal. A special shout out for our server Fiona. She was always hooking us up and looking out for us. Great experience and great service read more

New addition to the neighborhood is a refresher. This place has a really nice decor for a sports bar / hangout. Lots of space, big tables and a comfortable bar makes it feel very open and welcoming. The menu isn't big and likely because it's a soft opening, they seem to be working out the kinks. There was no draft beer and bottles were non-existent but did enjoy a standard Miller Lite out of the can. The menu is simple but effective in terms of the usual sports bar foods - wings, burgers and pizza. Again, on this night (and assuming working out the kinks) there was no pizza available. We went with the wings which were tasty - 5 alarm and their Parlay rub. Service was excellent - the bartender was friendly and helpful in making recommendations (as well as being accommodating on some of the gaps they had). Do try this place out for the next game you want to watch outside your house for a fun time. read more

Parlay Lincoln Park - 5 alarm wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The ambiance is fun but if you are wanting to seriously watch a game, it can be a little distracting since there are just people dancing everywhere and a loud DJ. The service was pretty good, but for a sports bar to not have any draft beers is pretty unusual. Prices are also a bit high for what you get. The food was average. We got the tenders, wings and nachos. All tasty, but nothing special. read more

I love this place! They have such great deals and the staff are so nice! The drinks are so good and yummy!

Food was decent and standard for this type of restaurant. Definitely has a party atmosphere on game nights. The main issue was getting service from the waitstaff on a game day. They definitely seem to have way too high of a workload to keep up. For large parties they also add customary gratuity which is completely understandable, but it's not very transparent on their payment systems. read more

I had the most delicious bottomless brunch at Parlay Lincoln Park this past weekend! They have an awesome brunch special going on right now where you can get 90 minutes of bottomless mimosas or domestic beer with the purchase of any entree for only $25! I looooved that the mimosas were "build your own" as the bottle of champagne and carafe of orange juice came in an ice bucket - such a cool touch! Our server was great about checking in to see if we needed any refills too. We had the breakfast burrito and the vanilla blueberry French toast - both were delicious and a great pairing for the mimosas! The seating space of Parlay LP is a really cool inside/outside area (which means TONS of great natural lighting during brunch!) I can't wait to go back and try out more of the menu! read more

Tori was a great waitress. She was very nice and quick with service. We asked for the sound on for the NFL and she was able to get it on.

Tori at parlay is an absolutely amazing, she is a great waitress. She made sure to check in often to see that we had everything we needed and was super sweet in the process. read more

..... please do not call yourself 'Parlay' and not play sound for games. Your menu is super basic and your boneless wings are super salty. Your management is super strict, you don't allow for ppl to accommodate themselves to have a good time. (No coffee, tea but can't bring it in). Your DJ repeats songs within a 2hr window. If you're looking for a place to host a non-eating gathering, sure. But this place is sadly boring. read more

This place totally completely rocks. Service was so amazing. Kendall was an amazing waitress.

Great new sports bar in Lincoln Park. The selection of signature mules is awesome and the drinks are very good. Food worth trying are the wings and pizza. Service is good. Our bartender was very nice and took her time to explain what's in some of the drinks. Follow on IG table42chicago for reel about this place read more

This is a great spot to watch sports with your friends! The drinks are great and the food was super tasty. I had the Passion Paradise mule (tequila, lime juice, ginger beer, passion liqueur and passion fruit syrup). This drink wasn't overly sweet, the ginger beer gave it a nice bite. I definitely recommend trying this cocktail! The service was great and the retractable roof is nice for patio drinking year-round! Definitely check this place out! read more

This is a very cool spot to check out with perfect Instagram worthy photo ops! There are plenty of large tables and bar top areas that are perfect for large groups. The service was quick and prompt and our server was super friendly. We all enjoyed our various mules and the bill was not bad at all! Music and the ambiance were on point and would definitely come back to visit again! read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in Chicago. After my first time there, I rarely go to brunch anywhere else. They have a great bottomless deal. The service is amazing. Specifically our typical Saturday server, Alex. Manager (blanking on name) is always amazing too making sure everyone is having a great time. It has a great vibe and we always have so much fun. I've been to a lot of brunches and this is my favorite. Also the buffalo chicken pizza is amazing! Chances are if you go to brunch I'll be there. read more

Worst experience ever. With a group of people and said hey to the waiter who didn't come back to our table for 20 minutes after she first stopped by, and she started to go offfff on us. She called everyone rude and after apologizing for using the word "hey" she proceeded to continue to ignore the table. Then as we were leaving she made comments and started to yell, tried to defend myself and she started yelling "you're a bitch" "never come back" and was out of control. I'm not sure how she's still employed because I can't imagine what she would do with an actual rude customer. Will never be returning because of her and I think her name is Emma. Short, brown hair and the worst person you'll ever meet. She needs therapy. read more

Food and service here is consistently great. Cannot wait to spend my Saturdays at Parlay Lincoln Park watching college football this fall!

food was amazing, especially the chicken sandwich. We had the pizza last week for a great price - will be back again especially during college gameday read more

Victoria, Emma, and Kendall made our night. We stopped in from out of town and felt right at home.

My servers Victoria, Emma, and Kendall were the best. Very quick with drinks and super nice. They have unreal buffalo chicken dip and great pizza. Had a great time there. read more

Best place in Lincoln park to get good bar food and watch a game! You can't find anywhere else that has that many tvs and great game sound

Great place to watch a game and enjoy some great food. Service is fantastic as well. 10/10 would recommend.

This is a newer sports bar that just opened last Fall. The good is that it has a lot of space and TVs. On a Sunday you can see almost every NFL game on at least one screen. The front patio/garden is real nice if you get to sit there. The food is all right, a few pizza options and a few sandwiches. I got the nachos once, those are real big, enough for a meal for 2 people. The boneless wings are a bit different than you usually see. Not bad, they're bigger, but they fall apart kind of easily. They specialize in moscow mules, they have a whole menu of them, if you like those you'll like this place. They also have 2 really good frozen slushies, and some other themed cocktails depending on the season. They have a few good craft beers, but strangely no drafts, which is rare for a sports bar. The music also gets a bit loud in between games. Also sometimes you have to ask to have the sound put on for a sports game, which should be a given for a sports bar, especially when a big game is on. Overall though, a good spot if you have a big group for a game. Not far from the Fullerton L stop. read more

I came here last night with some friends and was blown away! The server said they just opened and are still adjusting some Things, but the pizza was amazing. If you love tavern style pizza this is probably the best I have had in Chicago! Very cool design also. The server was awesome and gave us a little tour when she was seating us. I will definitely be back! read more

NO A/C it's so hot you wanna leave. They need A/C in here because it's crowded and gets so hot.

The bartenders/employees were rude. I did not have a good time when I went here with friends.
