    Speakeasy
    Marta M.

    First time ever here and the food was great! We decided to stop here cause it was the only thing really in walking distance with the kitchen still open once we finally were able to eat. We were greeted with a warm welcome at the door and the server was very friendly and checked on us often. The interior was loud - obviously it's a bar! But that's too be expected. However, we enjoyed the atmosphere and it was clean and had lots of seating options with several TVs and good music. We tried the pretzel trio and we inhaled it so fast!! The pretzels bites were more like light bread sticks than dense pretzel dough and I really loved that. They were lightly toasted and just the right amount of salt. I loved ALL the dips. The beer cheese was tangy and the honey mustard had just the right bit of sweet and sharp and the brown mustard was perfectly chunky and funky hahaha I absolutely loved the house made chips that came with my birria grilled cheese and the consomme was so yummy I could have drank it straight. The meat was flavorful and well cooked. It paired really well with the sourdough. Would definitely come back!

    Sooo Timothy O'Toole's Pub was our final stop before heading to the airport. It's a downstairs pub with plenty of seating and that classic pub vibe. Our server was very nice and made the experience easy. I had to go for the wings, and my sis grabbed a burger, both were solid choices. Definitely a good spot for lunch or to catch a game. What we ordered: Wings = Cooked well with a good sauce Cheeseburger = Very filling

    Pretzel Trio, 10 Bone in Wings
    Christine H.

    We got the birria grilled cheese with tater tots, the pretzel trio with ground mustard, honey mustard, & beer cheese, & 10 bone in wings (half honey sriracha, half chipotle bbq). The birria grilled cheese was a huge miss. It had dry & bland meat, was soggy, had little cheese, & desperately needed salt. Tater tots were good and crispy though. The pretzel trio did not taste like pretzels. It tasted deep fried like a donut. That's not my thing but if it's yours, you'll like the pretzel. The crispy bite with the pretzel was satisfying though. The beer cheese was bad; it was grainy, bland, & separated. The best thing here is the wings. Decently sized wings that were meaty and fatty. They had an okay selection of wing flavors but nothing too remarkable. I went during March Madness. Theres a lot of TV screens with varying sizes and lots of seating. Service was very good. Our waitress was attentive. I'd come back again for fun, but I'd just stick w the wings next time.

    Standard, cookie-cutter chain restaurant. The interior is dark and dingy, but it is as expected. There is no shortage of TVs so I can see this being a place to catch the "big game" or March madness. Service was good and the food was okay. Again, this is a good option if you're in a pinch and in search of bar fare. We ordered the onion rings, fish & chips, and the impossible burger.

    10 Bone in Wings
    Kyle C.

    A lot of reviews state, dive bar or something like that, what else did you expect? Went for the reviews on the wings, and they almost lived up to it. A lot of broken bone wings so that's disappointing but the sauces were good and ordered extra crispy and they were. If you can handle spice, get Irish Ghost. Pretzels were fine, the trio dippers is needed. Fun atmosphere, great sports bar. Service was good even during a busy masters Sunday.

    Timothy O'Toole's was a solid, no-frills spot for classic bar food. Setting: Lively sports bar with an energetic atmosphere. Service: Friendly and efficient, especially during busy hours. There are some nuances if opening a tab with the servers vs the bartenders so keep an eye out for that. Food: Yes, the tenders were crispy and satisfying, the garlic Parmesan fries were indulgent, and the mule was refreshing and well made; but the ranch?! Top tier. Loved it!

    Line for St Paddy's
    Megh L.

    This is your typical "party" type place/bar to hit up particularly on St Pat's. Bar food and drinks are your typical fare. It is really spacious which is nice, particularly if you have a large group. The servers/bartenders were NOT getting along - so that was awkward and slightly concerning. Taking orders and being waited on was definitely lacking.

    The ambiance was nice, you get the feeling of entering a pub. The food was pretty standard bar food, but done well. We sat in the bar area, service was food and they had a good selection of local beers.

    Look, Timmy's is always a solid go to when you're walking around downtown. If it's after midnight and you need a solid pub food selection, O Toole's is there for you. Employees are always kind. I love Irish pub settings man, sports and tvs rolling, everyone in good spirits and the food sincerely is above average. Love this spot.

    Timothy O'Toole's Chicago is just what you'd expect in an Irish pub! Great tasting food and an extensive selection of beer add to the cozy but lively atmosphere decorated for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday. Food orders came out fast! Service was good! Grateful for the wall to wall televisions to keep up with college basketball.

    Bacon Turkey Cheddar Melt
    Ali P.

    Came here twice within a few days of each other, once late night to get food and the other time to watch the cubs game. This is definitely your everyday sports bar to come and watch a game or a place to stop in and have some drinks. Great location by hotels and a place where out of towners and locals in the area mix. The first time it took a while for us to be seated at a table later in the evening which is to be expected but the second time we came before the game it was pretty empty till game time. It can get pretty rowdy inside especially late night or during game times. This is your normal bar atmosphere. Both times our wait staff were friendly & attentive. The first time we had wings & fries, they were good! Def a good way to end the night with more drinks. The second time we had the burger, the bacon turkey cheddar melt, and the pretzel bread pudding. Now usually with bar food I don't expect too much but this food was definitely better than your average bar! It was hot and fresh, well seasoned. I absolutely recommend getting the pretzel bread pudding. I never order desserts at bars but my friend did and I helped her eat all of it. The pretzel held up well to the custard and isn't that wet soggy feeling bred pudding normally has and the top had a little crisp to it. I'd absolutely choose coming here over the other bars because the service and food was above average. I'll definitely be back in for more games and more of the delicious food!

    The little Timmy burger
    JoAnne W.

    Was going to Chicago and looked at yelp reviews and decided to try this place out, I had the turkey bacon avacado sandwich and hubs had the little Timmy burger which he liked, I didn't care for mine, it had mustard sauce I think it would be better with none or mayo, but that might just be my preference. Service started out good then shift change and not the best.

    David F.

    Great service, plenty of great food options, and enough televisions to watch all the sports games in an energetic environment. Quite possibly the best spot outside of Soldier Field to catch a Bears game.

I was slightly thrown off, as the dining tables are at the front of this space, and the bar is all the way at the back. In fact, my friend at first glance thought it was a sit-down dining establishment sans bar seating. We found our way to the bar and posted up at two seats. We were offered menus right away and found the bartender extremely knowledgeable. This was super helpful when facing down an encyclopedia of ales. He offered samples when we explained what we were looking for. That is service above and beyond, especially on a bustling Friday early evening. The brews were tasty, but I couldn't really discern what I was drinking apart to say it was a lighter Belgian Ale. Wine is more in my wheelhouse, but always good to change things up, especially when a person has the opportunity to be guided by an expert.
