Come here for Head Bruises. Past regular. If you are a female and want to get assaulted by regular with bar tender support and police response being biased after assault, where larger male Shoved me and I fell on head. Definitely come here! Thank you to responsive bystanders that know owners yet left before cops belittled everything I said.. My requests for ice were denied. Bar was not closed. Surprisingly they locked the door and did not open for the real cops after I was assaulted and was given no ice for my bruise on my head. Protect the men assaulting woman! read more

Filonek's Bar And Grill - Burger - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great little neighborhood dive bar. Cash only but they do have an ATM and there is a bank across the street. Not a huge selection of craft beer. This is more of a bucket beer spot. They had Anti-Hero on tap and Son Of Juice in cans so good enough for me and my friend. Decent food. Excellent service. Both Amelia and Sinead were great servers. Amelia is fluent in Polish and has a great personality so if you speak the language, that could be a nice perk. Very affordable food and drinks. Would recommend, would return. read more

Great bar! Great service! Place was clean which I appreciate. Will definitely return with friends. read more

I been here once and enjoyed the food/drink. They've got really good prices for their burger and it came with fries. The grill is in the bar area so they prepared everything in front where you could see. It seemed like a Polish bar and there seemed to be a lot of regular patrons. There's a pool table in here too. For what it's worth, it's a nice simple place with reasonably priced food and drink. I'd stop by again for sure, what they do, they do well. read more

A great place to enjoy a few drinks with friends and they even serve food which to my surprise it was very good and affordable. The bartenders were super friendly and know to pour good drinks. read more

Filonek's Bar And Grill - Chicken sandwich and comes with fries! - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Spectacular chicken tenders and ranch! Service was wonderful! And moping the bathroom floors was a blast!

Walked into the bar and without carding my friends or asking anything the apparent owner comes over and says I'm not doing this tonight get out now. My friends and I were confused why he was saying so we asked for what reason and he said we aren't doing this. We were all 24+ and I even told him hey we can give you ID's don't worry he said no. Very rude for no reason when we weren't doing anything. Wouldn't recommend read more

When the bartender is also the cook, both the food and drinks lack attention. Not my first choice in the neighborhood.

Honestly I've been coming to this bar for 20 years and it was sold to new owners and I'm not impressed, strike 1 it's cash only and the ATM there charges you 3.50 to take cash out, strike 2 the burger and fries I ordered (10$) was basically a hockey puck and the fries were way over cooked, literally crunchy, and strike 3 the waitress never asked me once if everything was ok or if I needed anything, she didn't even greet me when I walked in. Won't be back unfortunately. read more

My new favorite neighborhood bar and grill! It's very obvious that new owner puts a lot of care into every detail. Great ambience, fantastic spirits selection (especially bourbon!), friendly bartenders and seriously delicious food. This place is a gem! read more

Great spot to come and enjoy your self. This my go to bar, but there's 4 bars by my house and I choose Filonek's. Because the girls know how to grill very well. Plus they have USB ports to charge your phones. That's a big plus who ever drains there batteries in a bar . Like me , I keep to my self, but I do like the owner she very awesome. read more

Frankie was the absolute best. She was so funny and kept the drinks coming. It is so hard to find someone so charming and caring now a days. Filoneks really hit the jackpot with her. Did not hurt she was so beautiful as well. Definitely will be back read more

Polish bar? Sports Bar? Technically it's owned by a Polish woman, and sure, there are sports on the TVs, but a "friendly, humble neighborhood bar with good food and nice company" is how I'd describe Filonek's. On any given night you'll see a few "regulars", and you'll want to go on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday when Maggie is working - the sweetest bartender you'll ever meet - but a trip to Filonek's is always met with warm atmosphere and an unpretentious crowd. Darts, pool, Golden Tee and an internet-fueled jukebox are all part of the landscape, and if you're hungry, a varied bar menu offers everything from Pierogis to delicious Allegretti's gourmet pizzas. Good drink specials too. Filonek's is also experimenting with having bands on Saturday nights, with no cover charge. Locals The Debauchers played there a few months ago and they're coming back for a 2-set show on Saturday, September 25, 9 pm. A previous review opened with "I dated a guy who practically lived here" and then went on to trash the patrons. Maybe she had a problem separating her feeling about the bar from her feelings about the guy. I've been going to Filonek's since 2007 and enjoy the genuine, friendly vibe of this no-frills Northwest Side bar. read more

You gotta love Filoneks. From the cheap prices on the pitchers of beers to the fact that the bar tenders actually pay attention to what you order and try to make it a habit of comping you every few rounds! I have been coming to Filoneks for years and have to say I have never really been disappointed (unless my favorite waitress isn't working). It has a nice neighborhood feeling to it, but you will get people from all over the city coming in for a drink at the bar. The outdoor seating is nice for the cooler nights, and atmosphere can't be beat! read more

Having dropped in on a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of holes in the wall.... This one is a great find.. The polish is an actual Polish sausage... Beer is cheap ... And the staff want to get to know you . ** if you are a hermit hipster , you might feel uncomfortable** ... It's like drinking in your Polish grand parent basement... Drinking their booze , grandma cooks you food and you have a laugh with good people. All this with a patio too :) read more

I came here for the first time on Saturday 9/8/18 and am very disappointed. Ordered a martini and cheeseburger. I was sitting next to the jukebox. The drink and food were fine. I paid for my tab which was $14 and the barmaid gave me back $6 (a 5 dollar and 1 dollar bill). I decided to have another martini and play the jukebox so I took out another $20 from my pocket and put it on top of the $6 already on the bar, I took the $5 and played my music and went back to my seat, the $20 bill that I just put on the bar was gone, I asked to barmaid and she said she did not take it. So, i guess the other patrons have sticky fingers or the barmaid is lying. Moral of this: do not leave any money on bar if you walk away and play the jukebox. read more

This place is awful it's dirty, dark and smells. If you're not a guy the lady bartenders don't care about you.

Burger's and Fries are worth the trip, juicy and tasty burgers plus a cold bucket of beer which is a must for the price , fully stocked bar ,pool table and a video golf game and the music is loud at times, they will lower it down for Jeopardy! read more

Filonek's. They have some of the best deals in the area, provide free food during Bears games, and have great staff. The bartenders really take care of their patrons. If you want a prissy bar with "good beer" (sneer), go somewhere else. :)~ read more

A pretty decent Polish bar on Milwaukee avenue. I prefered the Irish bars on this strip, but this one gets ok review as there were go go dancers and some weird band the night I went. They have a very select food menu and from the smell of it I don't think it could be that bad. read more

This is the quinessential chicago beer and a shot bar with a polish slant. The food is great ... quality ... large portions with a low price. Always a special on some type of beer. Always a pretty girl to serve you. The pool is free... with darts , fooseball and several flat screen t.v.'s . The owners name is Wanda. She is a sweet heart who has seen it all and decorates to the holiday. If I were Polish this would be the pefect spot. And even if your not the people are welcoming. Different types for diff. days. Bear games are fun and not over-crowded . So if your not looking for a clubing type scene ... want to relax and have a beer ... you will find Filonek's to be quite inviting and stress free. read more

It's an ok bar. I give them 2 stars because it takes forever to get a beer. Helpful hint to the bartender- when you see a customer that merely wants another can of $2 PBR and is waving three bills, it takes less than 10 seconds to serve that customer. Instead, people are walking out while you take five minutes to make a mixed drink. Think about it. read more

I stumbled into this place on a lark and have been coming back ever since. Great food, the most beautiful and friendliest barmaids ever, and a diverse crowd of patrons that always make you feel at home. read more

Filonek's is a cool local neighborhood bar on Milwaukee Avenue featuring great food , sports televisions, I Tunes music, pool table and live music acts on certain Saturdays.. Wanda, the owner, is hands on, making sure her place retains that personable flavor, along with two friendly and kind bartenders, Maggie and Amelia.. Best local friendly bar around.. read more
