    I only say 3 stars because of the first bartender. This one seems unhappy to be at work and only talking to the regulars. It's a roll of the dice if it's a good bar or not.

    Love this place. The owner is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Very generous. Love Sunday bartenders.

    Maggie McGuires - It may not look like too much from the outside, but there is plenty of fun that can be had inside...

    I am proud to be the first person to write a review for this place. I went here on my own little…read moreOak Lawn pub crawl over opening day of NFL football (Sun. Sep. 11) after going to TC Sports Pub and Tailgator. This place blew those two out of the water. In short, Maggie Maguires can either be called a very laid back sports bar or top-of-the-line dive bar. After driving up the alleyway that runs along the auto mechanic next door, park in the big lot behind the fenced enclosure that holds a very nice outdoor seating area. As you enter the dimly lit bar say hello to Jimmy, the bartender, and find yourself a seat at the long L-shaped bar. Enjoy a variety of drinks (including a respectable selection of beers on tap or in bottles) as you watch sports on one of the five plasma screen TVs, play $1 pool (on a well maintained pool table with decent cues), darts, or ask for the set of wooden beanbag game (bag-o, cornhole, whatever you want to call it). I had fun playing music on the computerized juke box which had a wide range of music. My choices that night included Grateful Dead & Metalica. A sign on the wall advertised a Guiness draughts special on Wednesdays. This is a major step up in class from the $1 Old Styles and Bush Light patrons at other lesser dive bars choke down. There was an assortment of patrons there that night from sports fans to much older country music fans, which I could tell based on their jukebox choices that night. A sign in the window welcomes NASCAR fans as well. I found out from Jimmy that Maggie McGuires has been around awhile and actually used to be even better then it is now, but I don't see too many ways for it to improve. A kitchen would be nice, but there is a gyro place right next door. I fully intend to come back. It is the perfect place to watch a game or just gather with friends for a drink & fun.

    This place was creeppy and in pretty bad shape. the tile on floor falling apart,bad stools, etc…read more The place does not seem very welcoming to strangers and the bartender made some snide remark when I left. Maybe he wanted a better tip. This place is definately a dive and they have nothing but cheap old beer. The place was filled with local bigots thrashing a certain racial group. One of the worse bars I have seen for a while. At least they had a large pool table and this is the only reason it gets one star aside from the fact yelp doesn't have anything lower.

    I visited the South Side with family and wanted to try out Vito and Nick's for years. I finally got…read morethe opportunity to go a few weeks ago. I absolutely love their tavern style pizza! The cracker thin crust complements the thin layer of cheese and toppings. They've been doing this for decades so they have their pizza and entrees down packed. This is definitely a neighborhood joint with an extremely popular rep with locals and tourists. I enjoyed taking in the old school vibe and looking at family photos lining the walls from decades past. One thing especially stood out regarding décor and that was the carpet lining the walls! Street parking is the only thing available. They are cash only and they have no ATM. Come prepared.

    Solid tavern style pizza with a lot of history. My friends and I ordered a large sausage &…read morepepperoni pizza and a large sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. Both crusts were crisp around the edges and softer toward the center. Cheese and toppings were good, and service was very good. I would say the pizza is "above average," so not among the best I've had, but also not bad. It has a fun, divey atmosphere, which gives the place some charm, and there is a parking lot for convenience, although there is also street parking available. If you like pizza history and tavern style crusts, you should visit. I'm glad I got to cross it off my bucket list.
