Paid Street parking Nice bar area with nice patio seating. Front windows open to allow for a breeze. TVs throughout the place. Clean bathrooms Nice staff service I ordered jerk wings all flats for an upcharge. The jerk marinade/sauce was decent not spicy but flavorful. I added a dusting of ghost pepper for heat and it definitely kicked things up a notch. The chicken itself wasn't seasoned and that it what I would have done differently. It was cooked perfectly though. My friend nachos were delicious there was a light refreshing flavor with a pinch of heat because of the jalapenos. Definitely worth eating again. I like the drink options we had classic margaritas and oberon beer. The margaritas were delicious with good flavor and well balanced. The beer nice, cold, and crisp. I would return... But I hope they start seasoning those wings they have so much potential! read more

Nicely painted & redecorated outside entrance. Typical bar atmosphere inside. Great bar to watch soccer with many tvs available. I've been to the outside patio in the nice weather & it's so cute. Huge soft pretzel with cheese & mustard was very average. Nothing special but it hits the spot. We heard the French onion soup was great & it did not disappoint. This chilly November day it warmed me up. Very hot crock of flavorful soup with perfect bread chunk & cheese melt on top. The onions were a perfect ratio too. It's a seat yourself place & servers are friendly. read more

Disgraceful business! Charged 20% gratuities for 3 ppl without disclosing anywhere in the menu. Service was bad. Ordered food at the beginning of the game and didn't arrive until the game nearly finished. If you pay credit card, additional 4% for credit card charge. Basically robbery! Be careful coming here. Oh many ppl smoke drugs inside the establishment as well. You can smell it inside read more

So I wrote this email to the establishment...I really don't think they would do anything...but here I go ... To whom it might concern... I was there last night after several years of not going due to a horrible experience with one of your bartenders ...VICTOR ! So I return last night with one of my dear friends that was so excited to visit your establishment... First thing that happen and wanted to avoid was to see this particular employee of yours .,, He came and greet us ambit with a sarcastic tone of voice and the first thing that came out of his mouth was .. " I haven't seen you in a while I thought you got deported !" As you can imagine I got deeply offended by his comment and told him , " man we aren't friends and even if we were that's not something you say to someone, specially a guest ! So I am gonna ask you to please disappear from my sight !" This is unacceptable, I really hope you guys can take care of this particular issue ...I won't ever come back to your place because I wouldn't like to encounter this individual ever again ! read more

Amazing patio. Beer is expensive ($8 for what seems like a 12oz). Great bar to watch soccer or football, and there are multiple TVs on the patio. Plenty of tables. Not busy. read more

Stopped in during WestFest to escape the heat for a little bit. We got a couple mixed buckets of beer for a pretty great price! Service was great too. The chicken quesadilla was amazing. You don't often find one with meat and veggies and beans in it. I've been craving this quesadilla since I was there over the weekend. I will likely grab one to go this week. My friend got the sliders and said they were pretty good too, but nothing to write home about. We sat at the bar and the service was very prompt. I only wish it were a little cooler inside. There were fans on, but they were just moving warm air around. read more

I've been coming to Cleo's for a few years now and my most recent experience was so disappointing. I opened a tab and asked to leave it open. After finishing my beer I went up to get another and it was closed out without my knowing. I check the charge on my card and it was $15... FOR ONE HIGH LIFE?! The bartend who opened a new tab for me was also really unwelcoming and couldn't even use her words- instead just shook her head yes and no and then rolled her eyes when she couldn't find my tab. I understand that people switch shift but this feels like I can't trust them anymore. Low moral in the overall service. read more

MY FIRST TIME THERE AND I WILL BE BACK! Good food, drinks are reasonably priced and the vibes were just how I like it; grown and mature read more

Stopped into Cleo's on a Sunday night around midnight with a friend after bar hopping in West Town and wanted a couple more drinks and some late-night food to end the night. Their kitchen was still open, which is awesome, especially on a Sunday night past midnight! We ordered the West Town Child pizza to split, and it was surprisingly so good for bar food--honestly, some of the better pizza I've had in the city, period. The hot honey drizzle made it next-level delicious. The bar itself had a great vibe too; it was my first time there, and there was still a good crowd even for a late Sunday night. Can't wait to come back soon! Cleo's is definitely a new go-to for late-night food and drinks in West Town! Also love that they're open til 4am! read more

I heard about this Soccer Themed Sports Bar in the City and I knew I had to stop by and see what all the hype is about!

I could have sworn I had reviewed this place. I use to come here a lot of Bayern Munich games. Finally decided to come back. The staff here has always been great. We ordered their cheese curds and some Paulaner Hefeweizen. They do unfortunately serve it it cans. While draft is always the best option, I would have preferred a bottle over a can. Still tasty though. Regardless of what team you follow, Cleos is definitely one of the best soccer bars in the city and it's definitely worth a visit for any soccer fan. Mia San Mia. read more

Great outdoor patio area for larger groups. Bocce ball courts were a fun time. Sliders and cheese curds were delicious. Server kept checking on us often and we definitely enjoyed the space, drinks and food. read more

The beer tasted great. They must maintain their lines well. I had a son of juice and two Yuenglings. Delicious and perfect temperature. Nice and cold. There's so many good options on the menu. I had trouble picking what I wanted. I ended up getting a French onion soup and Pepe's Revenge which were delicious. I was impressed that they had an old-school restaurant caliber French onion. The Pepe's revenge pizza was pretty good. The crust had a nice crispiness on outside and a soft/doey feel in the middle, which made for a good combination. I felt like the pizza sort of melted in my mouth. Great mouth-feel experience The ingredients tasted fresh. Really solid jalapeños. I love spicy, but sometimes it upsets my stomach and whatever jalapeños they used weren't over the top spicy and my gut seems to be handling it well. There was a nice portion of cheese, which may explain the mouth melting experience. Very tasty. And they killed it with the crumbled sausage. I love crumbled sausage. I ended up eating five slices there. One piece when I got off the bus. And another piece at 6 AM in the morning I gave my friend the other slice. I couldn't stop eating it I usually only come here late night, so it was nice having a chill bar food experience. The service was top-notch too. read more

Great bar! We loved the outdoor patio! Our waitress was great! We only had drinks but they were made well.

FACT; The server went up to my white friend and told him "he's worried about what he's bringing into the bar" about my Mexican friend and me as a black woman. He took our order, only put in 2/5 drinks and never put in our food. We asked for a manager and he never called one over. So we left Update ; For the owner saying it was as fiction and shame on me.,, I ASKED for a manager and a manager was not on duty according to your staff AND YOUR STAFF APOLOGIZED TO ME so don't tell me what was fiction if you were not there and don't tell me what happened if you were not there. I was SOBER and know clearly what happened. WE DONT WANT TO COME BACK and I can make this a bigger issue with the BBB if you want to take it there. Cameras will definitely back me up because no one was stumbling or drunk to the point there should've been a problem. AND NEVER HEARD OF A BAR REFUSING FOOD WHEN SOMEONE IS "DRUNK" anyway, that's the best time to serve them food. Goofy and inadequate staff ! read more

Fun bar that we stumbled into on a Saturday. It was pretty crowded but a large space to fit big groups. I got the Paloma next door cocktail which was refreshing and tasty. We also got the ceasar salad and honey habanero chicken tenders and fries. Everything was tasty! The ceasar salad was on the smaller side. read more

The service and food here is great and reasonable. The best place to watch sports on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Mary is the best...She is friendly, fast and efficient! read more

We were on the patio.... READ TO THE END Food was ok.... Typical bar burger but did have good flavor. Service was normal. Wish waitress would've come around more often. Ambiance? Well if you want to call it RAT HAVEN you're in the right place. We were sitting near the wall and a rat was literally at my husband's head, I thought it was going to jump on to his shoulder! We seen 4! YES 4 of them "fighting" near a planter and many many others in the vines on the back wall and using the roof ledge as an interstate. We told the waitress about it and she called them "City Kitties" as if they had names! Said the weird part is when they climb the vines to the apartment windows above and look in or get in! WTHECK?! One table of ladies went inside due to the pests, and 2 other tables just sat there in awe.... How can the owner/management/city allow this to happen!!!? Do they NOT do health checks??? Nothing sanitary about it. Understand they are everywhere in the city , but try to keep them out of patron areas. Eat inside, avoid the patio unless you want the occasional city kitty experience . read more

This place has horrible service. For one the server needs to stay off what ever she is medicated on. The food came out at three different times and my wife's food never came out. Waiting around for two hours for bar food. After being frustrated with the service one of the bartenders said to me the server already apologized to you and if you don't like it get the f**ck out here. I advised I will get f**ck out, signed the bill, and told the bartender to f**ck off and shove it. read more

Been coming here for almost four years. Great food and service!!! Cherry on top that they serve food super late.

Soccer fanatic here- so when I walked past this I knew I needed to come back and scope it out. Dropped in for Saturday evening dinner and a drink and everything was fast and delicious. Food was great, place is awesome. Dying to come back and watch a premier league game here and see it in warmer weather. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Baked French onion soup was great even though it was very late night after a concert!

Adding a couple stars since my last review mainly for service. We sat at the bar and chatted briefly with a really cool bartender. Wings came out piping hot and the fries were fresh too. Standard bar food, but sometimes that's all I'm looking for. I have a man vs self conflict with my next statement. I've gone back and forth in my head on whether it's a reasonable critique. Read and let me know. So. ..I ordered an Old Fashioned. It was easily the worst I've had. I know. ..I know. ..this is a dive bar, but an Old Fashioned is literally the first cocktail you learn to make as a bartender. Maybe I'm being too hard. Either way I didn't let it impact my review. read more

Cleo's is Chicago's premier soccer bar. I came here to watch the champions league final and the atmosphere was electric. The beers are pretty reasonably priced and the food is good too. Be sure to get there early for any big games though because they do have a capacity limit. read more

I'm new to Chicago and recently learned that this is Chicago's spot for Bayern Munich supporters. This was my first time joining the crew to watch a Bayern match, and I had a great time! The Bayern supporters were grouped in the back room and most of the customers in the front of the house were watching an English Premiere League match. Two games at the same time made for a lively environment in a chill atmosphere. I ordered a hazy IPA for $7 and a massive platter of nachos with ground beef for $13. The beer was tasty and the nachos were surprisingly good. Others around me seemed to enjoy the shrimp tacos (as a bowl), and I think I might try that next time. Kevin was a very friendly server and definitely made me feel like we're all welcome. Cleo's is a great spot to watch a game and hang out with friends over some good drinks and pub grub. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

My mistake may have been coming at a non-happy hour, on a positive note is they serve food until 3am. I however went for some wings and beer at 9. It was a good experience overall, the staff were friendly and attentive. The vibes were relaxed with soccer on most of the TVs, Soap operas were on the others. My big gripe is that I paid nearly seventy dollars for twelve halfwings and three beers. I'm a simple man but damn, that's a racket. It would be below a three if the wings weren't crispy how I like them, not a lot of meat though. read more

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Today I debated going to Cleo's. A soccer bar I have frequented for years, but after a few too many bad experiences I'm never going back. Today was just what I needed to make up my mind. Once a while back the bartender never showed up for a 9am kickoff match, and I was left on the sidewalk waiting for answers and for the door unlock for a half hour. Then I was told what happened and headed home. Okay, I get it. Shit happens. A few times we've had some disrespectful staff and today I had the worst service I've had anywhere in years. Waiter was rude off the bat when I asked for pricing of items not on their QR code menu, and later put his hands on me to move me away from their service station. Mind you, they put their self serve water station RIGHT NEXT TO IT. I point at the water station and he finally apologizes. Did I mention later he accidentally poured an extra Guinness for us? Then charged us for 6 when we only ordered 3? I've been in the industry for 7 years and I have never laid my hand on a customer and attempt to move them and I have never seen blatant lack of attention to detail. Thank you for the memories, and goodbye. Best of luck read more

Only stopped in for a drink so can't speak to the food but seems like a great soccer / sports bar. Has bocce ball and seating on the back patio in nicer weather. Very lowkey inside, bartender was attentive and nice - good for a quick drink or to catch a game. read more

One of the few soccer-centric bars in the area to watch a game in the city. Sunday morning, was able to grab a table towards the back where they have four tv's playing matches from the Premiere League. Since we already had breakfast at a different establishment, was only going to have drinks. Beer list is superb as they have several local items on both draft and can. Was able to get a pour of the Half Acre Daisy Cutter ($6.50 draft) and a Three Floyds Zombie Dust ($7 can). Our waitress was efficient as she was able to handle the tables without any problem. Also, despite the rowdy soccer crowd, the bar was able to keep everyone socially distant, as they made good use of their backyard as well. Seems like this spot has some great specials as well for each day of the week, so a good spot even if there aren't any matches happening. read more
