My recent visit, during the season's final Bears matchup, proved just how special this place is. Even with the restaurant packed and buzzing with excitement, the staff created an atmosphere that felt warm, welcoming, and comfortable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and friendly energy. The staff was not only attentive but also mindful of everyone's comfort and safety, watching the door so the space never became a hazard. Despite the crowds, there was no sense of chaos--just a lively, fun vibe that made us feel right at home. Service at The Wild Goose is impressively quick and thoughtful. Our food and drinks arrived promptly, and we never felt like we were waiting, even though the bar was bustling. Special thanks to Will, Liz, Eddie, and Andrew, who made sure every detail was attended to. They checked in frequently, making sure our table had everything we needed and that our experience was as enjoyable as possible. The food lived up to the game day hype. The wings were outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly sauced. Drinks were delivered quickly and kept the good times rolling. But the real highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert. It was so delicious that I even ordered a serving for the table next to mine, convinced that everyone should experience it. If sweets are your thing, this dessert comes highly recommended. What truly sets The Wild Goose apart is the personal touch that runs through every aspect of the service. Sharing a dessert, cheering with friends, and being surrounded by attentive staff made the evening unforgettable. The Wild Goose knows how to make every guest feel special, even on their busiest nights. All in all, The Wild Goose is a wonderful place, full of great people and top-notch service. Whether you're in the mood for sports or simply want a memorable night out, you'll find the perfect blend of hospitality and flavor here. Don't miss the wings, and be sure to save room for the bread pudding!

We finally ordered all at once because we were starving at that point. Our spinach/artichoke dip came out freezing cold and was clearly not cooked at all. We sent it back and did not ask for another. We also ordered margaritas that were a horrible mix that we could not even drink. I understand this is likely not their specialty, but it's listed as on their drink menu. My friend had a burger which was fine and my chicken sliders were ok but were so thick they were basically a big chunk of chicken on a bun. The TVs were also so loud for only having a weekly Cubs game on. I recall enjoying Wild Goose in the past, but it has definitely gone downhill.

TODAY... we walk into the bar, not expecting a club or anything but a simple bar, and it seemed so at first. We go up to the bar & immediately the man next to us looks at my friend's roommate and says "you're definitely going to need to show her your id(referring to the bartender)". 2nd... the bartender then reaches out and says , while looking at my friend, "have I seen y'all before?" & we say we have been here before. Then my friend starts introducing us, and gets to Megan(who is a Hispanic woman) and gets IMMEDIATELY interrupted by "I don't need to hear about your roommates", looking directly at Megan. Going back a couple weeks... we were here & the racism was so apparent we had to walk out... To think we gave this place a second chance, and FOR WHAT.... DO NOT GO HERE.

The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

This bar was awesome-- bartender was a guy called Scott who said he'd newly started but actually knew his stuff and converted my "just the one" plan into "I've got to be done at four lagers". Ask him for the Irish jokes-- he beat me at them, had me impressed-- and that's saying something, my Irish joke repertoire is, frankly, formidable. If your an Arsenal or EPL fan or not, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Ten Cat Tavern is pretty divey while being pretty nice at the same time. Kind of has a quiet coolness to it. Lots of cheap drinks and some more expensive stuff as well. As for the drinks it's mostly basic. It's about $6 for a cocktail. The cheapest ones include some pretty cheap whiskey. Also they have cheap cans of PBR. Seems like most people here are drinking beer, and these mostly are in bottles and cans like how a dive bar should. Also has a couple pool tables that somehow fit. The bar is pretty small but the coziness makes it charming though. Pretty clean. The place is dim so it's hard to know for sure. Got to mention for those who couldn't tell by the name that it's also pet friendly. It's usually dogs in here ironically. There's also a jukebox with a good collection of songs, and a few TVs for watching games or things.
