Came here on a freezing cold December day to meet friends for lunch. Place was warm and cozy. Lunch deep is great for $13 you get a burger, fries, soda . You can get any hand held for same price. I'm usually a smash burger fan but the specialty burger was sooo good , very juicy . I are the whole thing and I never do that. Friends got chicken sandwich which they liked and it was huge . Forever delish , lots of beer options but their tap beer is mostly craft . I thought $7 for a garage beer tap was a bit high but it seemed like all taps were priced at $7 and up. Service was chill. Helpful but not in your face . Fries were great, happy to come back and try that BLT or wings read more

Nice neighborhood bar and restaurant in Logan Square area. The curried salmon was delicious and service was great.

I was really looking forward to some classic fish and chips tonight, especially since The Harding Tavern advertises using cod. Unfortunately, what I received was almost certainly not cod, but rather the much cheaper and, frankly, much less appealing swai. While the portion was generous, which is usually a plus, the texture and mild, somewhat muddy flavor were dead giveaways. Swai is a bottom-feeder, and it often has a distinct, watery mouthfeel that's just not what you expect from good fish and chips. It's truly disappointing when a place tries to pass off a lower-quality fish as something it's not. For those who don't know swai, I highly recommend doing a quick search before you encounter it disguised as something else. It's just not in the same league as cod, and if you're expecting the latter, you're going to be let down. This place really needs to be more honest about their ingredients. Two stars for the ample serving, but a significant deduction for the fish fraud. read more

Stopped in to The Harding Tavern after happy hour at the Consignment Lounge. We grabbed a booth and the server greeted us and brought us waters immediately. He was very attentive. I got the crispy bbq burger, which was absolutely delicious! The fries were crispy and fresh as well. My friend got the fish and chips and she said it was flakey and fresh as well. The ambiance around isn't much to look at, but it's a typical bar. Overall, I think worth the prices especially since the service was great. I'd go back since the menu was extensive and many choices looked great at nearby tables. read more

We came in late, kinda bar hopping in the area; we enjoyed our Martinis, the TV's were easy to watch and hear. Waitress was funny and friendly. Space was typical; nothing special, it was spacious, we sat at a high top in the corner. We only ate fries, they were hot & crispy; we enjoyed them! Update: They have warm cocktails which I love and are not as popular as I think they should be in the Windy City, (in January). Can't remember the name but it was green and delicious! Also, we had a photo shoot in the lovely oversized, jumbo mirror headed to the ladies room lol read more

Stumbled upon The Harding Tavern while discovering a new area and we are so glad we did. The Fish and Chips were truly the best so far, the batter was cooked perfectly and the fish so fresh and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka was so delicious. It had a little kick to it which made it even tastier. The service was friendly but a little slow since the restaurant was packed but we did not mind whatsoever. A very enjoyable dine for sure. read more

Realistically, this is a 4.5. Good value for the food and prices. The bacon on the BLT was a little flaky, and the viewing angles on the TVs left something to be desired on a game day. The wraps were great (my girlfriend let me have some), good vibes, quick service. read more

I'd give these guys the #1 for the best burger in the neighborhood. THT burger is phenomenal with the Brie in it. You get the cozy chill sports bar vibes along with good food and good service. Nothing else to ask for. read more

The Harding Tavern is located on Milwaukee just south of Diversey, and is just around the corner from one of the entrances to the Logan Square - CTA Blue Line station. According to its website The Harding Tavern is named after The Harding Theater, which was at this spot from 1925 to 1963 (how about that?). My love and I have been to THT a couple of times, once for happy hour beers and once for a casual dinner with peeps. The beer list is pretty good with rotating drafts, such as a Revolution Oktoberfest special. There are lots of TV's showing sports if that is your jam. The service for our weeknight party of six dinner was quite good, as we snared a table right away and our water glasses were filled nonstop. If I counted correctly, five of us had burgers with fries, and the other ordered a flatbread that was the thickest flatbread that I have ever seen. My Crispy BBQ burger featured a load of fried onions (yum) and white cheddar and bacon too, but only a squirt of BBQ sauce. Along with the side order of fries, I'd say the burger combos are pretty good if not great. read more

Great food, great service, and friendly atmosphere! The portions are huge. Best fish and chips I've ever had! My husband got the chicken sandwich with an amazing aioli that complimented every bite! Daughter had beautiful plate of pancakes and son had a bacon breakfast burrito! Friend ordered the THT French toast! I highly suggest! The brioche was so fresh and moist - presentation was gorgeous! Come over and have a great time! read more

I went to the Harding Tavern for the first time last week for a margarita Monday event, and fell in love with the place. The service was fast and super friendly. The bar itself is cozy and inviting. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the delicious garlic-y burger or Asian salad ever since. Will definitely be back and also plan on ordering pick-up or delivery in the future. read more

This is my absolute favorite neighborhood bar. Yea it's small but I love the service I get every time. Also the fish tacos are a perfect snack! But since I came at lunch time- for 12$ I got this huge chicken sandwich. Love this place read more

God, I love me some dive bars, more so when they're located in centralized locations i.e. on a major street, sandwiched between two train stops. The Harding Tavern is so much more than your average dive bar, though. With dine-in seating, you have premium beer/cocktail options on top of meals fit for any type of day. Their tap options are stacked, in my opinion. They have a rotating 'pint of the month' that highlights an alluring $5 price tag. Special mention, these guys have Goose Island Bourbon County stout on tap, which, to me, is incredible. I'm never in the market to buy a full bottle of one of these drinks, so a 10 oz pour is just right. The tavern itself is pretty compact, with the bar area located in the middle of everything, so it's pretty easy to get a tender's attention. Service is always prompt no matter the time of day. Brunch deals are available with their complimentary mimosas with a brunch entree purchased and a $38 package deal that includes a bottle of bubbly + OJ. I think the THT is a solid option to grab a drink in Logan Square. Great to bring some friends, to bring a first date, or to just grab a drink and watch a sports ball game alone. No judgment! Its accessibility alone to the NW side of the city is reason enough to check this bar out. read more

Great food and service! The vibe is also pretty good Lot of bad bunny tho, got me wondering who on the auxiliary cord services read more

The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. They charge you for any substitution. Example, my entree had honey mustard and I cannot eat that so I asked for the herb aioli instead and got charged a buck. Not that a buck is expensive but I think it's a bit silly. The service on the other hand was not the greatest. We had empty glasses of coke and it took them essentially until we were done with our meals to recognize and to offer us a refill. The bartender was the one to realize, not the two servers who walked by our tables many times. Mind you, it wasn't even busy at 8pm on a Monday. read more

I had walked by The Harding Tavern a number of times and had always wanted to stop by. Situated just next to a CTA -Blue Line stop, it is very convenient for those visiting via train. From the outside you can see an extensive bar set up, adding to the appeal. I ended up coming to The Harding Tavern on a Sunday afternoon for Brunch with a group of friends. As this place does not take reservations, we expected to have to wait, but were pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away. The space itself is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, with (4 person) booth seating throughout. I believe they had a few larger tables for a bigger group, but not too many. When we were there, it appeared to be only the one waitress working. With that said she did a great job managing all of the tables, and being attentive enough. Being as though we went for brunch, we could not turn down the chance of a mimosa ($9), which was good and the perfect proportion of juice/alcohol. Food was also good, nothing too special, but good. Portion was quite large and filling. Lots of variety on the menu, which was nice. Overall, good experience here and I look forward to coming back for dinner and drinks, as those fries looked delicious! read more

The Harding Tavern is in the heart of Logan Square. I came here with my fellow staff members for a few reasons: it opened early, was in the neighborhood, and had a happy hour! It's a nice place with great natural light. The music was light, and I loved how it looked clean and open. The bartender was very attentive and very kind consistently bringing drinks and asking if we needed anything. The food we all ordered was delicious and the happy hour special was a good deal! I had the fish and chips and it was exceptional because it was a good quality fish, freshly fried with a crunchy batter and served with well-seasoned crispy thinly-cut french fries. read more

The wings are , Mac and cheese was so light and sauce was white not too creamy but so tasty. The fries , let me just say we finished them all! The flatbread was good too. Everything was fresh and hot , service was great. Will be in my rotation. read more

The Harding Tavern is located just north of the bustling Logan Square area on Milwaukee. It's a low-key local place with plenty of street parking since it's on the north side of Logan Square Park. Casual no-frills bar with great service. They have local beers on tap but the staff isn't too knowledgeable about them but a quick Google search can get you all the answers you need. I'd stay away from the cocktail menu as well since they leave a lot to be desired. Come for the beers and company. Enjoy the attentive and friendly service. read more

It took is a while to stop in here. We walk by a lot on the weekends and the patio is always full. They have some amazing smelling and looking brunches as we walk past. We came early on a weekday and got a gteat spot on the patio. Wow they have an amazing beer selection. Also they have some great ciders. Service is fantastic. The TST burger was very good. Seasoned beef good amount of garlic and just the right spice. I however was taken aback by the most amazing fish and chips. Perfect size pieces with an amazing batter and great crisp. Seriously amazing! The fries were also really good and they load you up. Only able to eat half of them! read more

As the world reopens, it's nice to be able to go out and eat again. With a few of my friends moving into Logan Square, we were looking for a place was open for business and this looked like a great spot. I ordered the Tex-Mex Burger and it was incredible. I'm a sucker for a good aioli sauce and the one they have here is incredible. Paired with bacon, roasted red peppers and onion, it create a full burger experience bursting with flavor. I paired it with a beer flight and was able to leave full and happy without spending an arm or a leg. Overall, a great option in Logan Square. read more

This place punches way above its weight from a food perspective. I got the blackened chicken sandwich special and it was terrific. $5 hazy ipa craft beer special as well which is almost unheard of anymore. Friendly service and great atmosphere make this place way better than your average bar. read more

Expensive food for what it is, it also does not help that the servers take liberty and ring in more expensive spirits when you do not call for them. Kitchen open late on weekends though, just scrutinize your receipt. Quite a few reviews about pricing discrepancies. read more

After seeing a movie at The Logan Theater (a few blocks away)-the theater staff recommended The Harding Tavern as a good place to get chicken wings and a drink. Entry and Seating- So a friend and I walked several blocks to The Harding Tavern and immediately upon entering we were greeted and told that we could choose our own seats. We sat at a table with two chairs near the window which was fun to people watch! The Order- We ordered the barbeque wings and the buffalo wings. Both orders of chicken wings were plump, tender, and well sauced! We ordered sides of ranch and blue cheese dipping sauces (as they did not come with the wings) and instead of carrots or celery sticks your only option is thinly shaved carrots. We are big fans of celery and carrot sticks so it was a bit disappointing. In addition, we found it odd having to ask for the sides of dipping sauces (ranch and blue cheese). Furthermore, the barbecue wings were not listed on the menu and were offered as an option as they did not have the Thai Chicken Wings that evening only Buffalo, BBQ and Mango Habanero were available. While the wings were delicious (and BBQ very, very sticky!), I am not sure that we would return there to have the chicken wings again-but would probably try the hamburgers as they seemed like a popular order and looked well presented and stacked. FYI-Our server was nice and while she was busy, she still made time for us in an unfrazzled and pleasant demeanor. (It was a Friday evening!) read more

The pork belly skewers are gone!!! This is literally the only reason that I came to this bar. The atmosphere is good but I have never been a huge fan of the food (the burgers have more of a sausage taste than burger taste) except for the PORK BELLY SKEWERS!!! RIP I shall miss you greatly. read more

Unassuming bar, the Christmas lights make it warmer than a typical sports bar. Big bourbon selection at good prices. Our local guy tried the pork belly skewers and he said they're good, delicious. Friendly service. Serve a fine pbr. But losing stars for the bill. Firstly for charging more for whiskies than the price on the menu. Secondly for adding 20% service to the check then leaving a "additional tip" section to lure drunkards to accidentally tip twice. read more

Wings and Burgers 5 starThe best wings in Chicago!! My favorite wings are the mango habanero. Awesome burgers too. Service is always lacking. They usually only have 1 server but the food keeps me coming back. I literally come here more than once a week. This last time we went,on a Monday, we were served by someone we haven't before and wow was she rude. We couldn't even finish ordering because she walked away quick. And the place was pretty empty. My boyfriend didn't get a chance to order his burger. I got up and went to tell another server that was close by if she could please add a burger as our server had walked away on us. One of these days the shitty service will make us never return. Tip : 1/2 off appetizers after 10pm Tip: Only nice server is Marcella read more

I spent a good part of my evening on Friday at the Harding Tavern. New bar in Logan Square? I'm there! When we walked in, we were told it would be about a 30 minute wait for a table and we decided to stick around. If you want to get a table at The Harding Tavern, it's going to be tough. There look to be like 14 4 tops and a few 2 tops along another wall. The waiting area is...well...there is none. We had to stand in front of one of the doors. This place is so insanely cramped it was making me a bit claustrophobic while waiting. While standing by for our table, my friend and I grabbed a couple of draft beers. It took forever for my friend to get them as the bartenders seemed a bit overwhelmed. Pro-Tip: If the bar is completely busy and you want to be a nice person, just order a quick beer or glass of wine. Making cocktails is quite time consuming for our hardworking bartenders! They have a really solid beer list, both on tap and in bottle. I love trying new beers and am pretty familiar with many brands and they really did impress me with their selection. 5 Rabbit is my favorite brewery and right away I saw on their chalkboard they called them 5 Rabbits. Eek Gads! Someone hurry up & erase the "s"! After about 40 minutes, we were seated at our table. Now as time went on, The Harding Tavern grew on me. I think because once we sat down we were away from the uberly cramped bar area that had 4 huge TVs above the bar. I was happy once we had our cozy little two top off on the other side of the tavern. We finally got to sit, we didn't have the glare of the TVs, and our waitress was so incredibly awesome! Seriously she made our time there & I think made huge fans of both of us. She was really knowledgeable about beer, even telling us all about Local Option, and just had perfect timing as far as being attentive but not overbearing in her service. I ordered their mac & cheese to go and absolutely loved it. Their $7 Mac & Cheese has bleu, cheddar, cotija, bacon fresh herbs, and breadcrumbs on top. I could do without the breadcrumbs but overall a very good dish that left me wanting to try more of their items! I have to admit, I'm still not completely sold on The Harding Tavern however I wouldn't discount it AT ALL. I could totally see myself going solo for a beer because of their amazing draft list or with a date. It gets so crowded (as do most bars in Logan Square) so I'd recommend going in off hours to avoid having to wait. read more

If I could I'd give 3.5. Its right off the Logan Square blue line station. I love the seating since almost all tables are near windows, aside from the bar. Pros: We ordered the Papas Con Chorizo, which was delicious! The potatoes in it were so good and the potatoes on the side were equally delicious!! We also ordered the Thai wings which weren't as good to me. They were also super spicy for me, so if you like spicy with a kick I'd definitely get this!! Cons: During nice days out, they open the windows and keep the door open. Since they do this a lot of bugs and insects come in. I had to shoo more than a handful of flies and other bugs away. Something else I didn't really like was not having the wings coated in the sauce; the sauce came on the side, which made it hard for my entire wing to be covered in sauce. read more

I love coming to this bar for many reasons, great food, service and specials. Appetizers are half off after ten o'clock and they are open late as well. If the weather is nice they also have outdoor seating as well. I had the THT burger which happens to be one of my favorite Burgers. The meat they use is freshly house ground roasted garlic beef, brie cheese, arugula, spicy fresh herb aioli and some applewood smoked bacon also comes with fries. You also must try the pork belly skewer, made with spicy sesame glaze, roasted peanuts and napa cabbage. They also have a beer that most bars do not carry, the White Rascal and it is so good! Plenty of TVs if you want to watch some games. Look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Covid-19 Isolation Review- We ordered some burgers from THT during quarantine, and they were delicious. I would recommend the burgers if you're looking for something that is filling and reminds you of summer. While we did not dine in/ or in their patio, we'd love to check their patio out when Covid-19 is all over. We ordered- CLASSIC BURGER (house-ground beef, tomato, onion, lettuce, brioche bun, lemon aioli, house pickle, choice of cheese). I enjoyed this burger because it felt 'light' for a burger. CRISPY BBQ BURGER (house-ground beef, white cheddar, crispy onions, barbecue sauce). I don't really like BBQ sauce. I think it can overpower burgers. However, this burger had the right amount of sauce, and its sweetness went perfectly with the crispy onions. I would like to shout out the MVP of the meal, the fries. While the burgers were good, I feel like I don't ever expect fries that are anything special. But the fries that come with your burger are salted perfectly and have cilantro on top. So good! read more
