8.00 mimosas...served in a pint glass. This is something I can get behind. Came on Lolla weekend, so most of the children were busy. Service was quick and polite, food was okay and drinks were fine. I know this place is popular with the LP/Armitage crowd, so I was happy to visit on a lowkey weekend. Definitely not a place i would wait in line for. read more

Came here after dinner with some friends and it was a pretty cute place. There is an upstairs where the main bar is and there is also a downstairs where there's a lot of seating and another bar. They have TVs down here so they were playing the football game. Our waitress was super cool and attentive. It's quite small and intimate, but I like that. I didn't try any of the food, but we tried the fishbowl and I got a lemon drop martini situation. I really liked both of the drinks! They played pretty decent music ,too. I would definitely come back here for a chill drink with friends. read more

Stopped by Kincade's since it was one of the first places I spotted coming off the Brown Line. Honestly... pretty average. Service was slow, the beer list promised more than they actually had, and the food was just okay. Not terrible, but not memorable either. If I'm in the area again, I would probably look around before giving this place a second chance. read more

Just walked in and wasn't even acknowledged LOL how uncomfortable they made me feel is an understatement. My friend and I were hungry and looking for a quick spot to eat after a Yelp Elite event down the street and when we walked in they didn't even bother to say hello. Sad! We walked out and took our business elsewhere after 5min. read more

It's a really cool spot. Overpriced, sure, but really cool. Dark wood basement, tiled main floor, and a small patio. Love hopping off the L and being right there. read more

DO NOT BOOK A PARTY HERE!! We had a company party booked with a SIGNED contract. They canceled on us the day before due to "football playoff games". Nothing in the contract mention anything about them being able to cancel us. All they offered was a discount if we booked a different date. Very unprofessional communication. SIGNED CONTACT & card on file and cancelled the day before. Such poor business. read more

Great beer, good people, and a great patio for the summer atmosphere. Highly recommend for a pre-Cubs hangout or late night last call. read more

This place has a dive bar feel, but we were impressed with the service and the food & beverages. We ordered a few beers. The servers were friendly and checked on us often. You can order at the bar or high top table. The wings smelled soo good that we had to order some even though we had dinner plans. The wings were very tasty! We devoured them. I would recommend grabbing a drink here with friends! read more

My queen Ava got us right with bottomless! She was so sweet and generous. Food was delicious, refills were frequent. Loved it!

Disappointed on this location's customer service. When emailing about a potential event to be hosted by Kincade's, Kelly specifically was passive aggressive and abrupt. We wanted to host about a 60 person party but were denied due to March madness, understandably so but she was not helpful or willing to suggest other options. Kincade's is a beautiful space but if you want to book make sure it's not during a major sports event especially since they don't say that on their website. read more

Server claimed he didn't hear my order so I waited and waited while all my friends ate, then he came out with a burnt pretzel for me. They charge you when you ask for a to-go box! They also automatically add a random restaurant charge, and their tip suggestions include tipping on that added charge. My drink and the ambiance were nice, but I won't be going back. read more

Came here as we were waiting for a table at Armitage Alehouse (spoiler: we didn't get a table because they lost our name off the waitlist) Anywho, we each got a drink and we eventually got the spinach and artichoke dip to share. The dip had a TON of spinach in it, most I've ever seen in that type of dip. Service was friendly. Wasn't too busy for a Tuesday evening but given the area I'm sure it gets really busy on the weekends and for sports. read more

I came here after work for a few drinks with some friends. The prices are about what you would expect for a bar in the area. They have a lot of space and you can look out and people watch on the street. It was a pretty good experience and the proximity to the Armitage station means I will probably be back in the future. read more

I went by to grab some quick bites while shopping in the area and stopped here. I was surprised at how good the pizza was! I'm not a fan of deep dish, but this was some of the best pizza I've had since being in Chicago. I didn't think it would come from a bar, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is also a Bengals bar I believe, so being from Cincinnati this was another plus! Also, my wife got the grilled chicken sandwich and enjoyed that also! We'll be back! read more

Stopped in for a quick drink while bar hopping in the area. We had a mcgreggor's mule and a dark and stormy. The drinks were pretty good, but nothing amazing. The service was pretty good, but it was also fairly empty. The women's bathroom was very clean and nice, which was a big pro! The food menu looks pretty standard, but we didn't try any food this visit. Will be back for that! The location is top notch, right next to a train station too. read more

Pretty cool place! Was able to accommodate our group quickly. Good beer selection, food was pretty good. Place overall was good. Was disappointed in our service. Had to track her down multiple times while she was just talking. Would go back tho! read more

Kincade's is a great Cincinnati Bengal's bar in Lincoln Park! I've watched a few games here in their back bar and it's always a great time! The service is good and the beer selection is always pretty large. Highly recommend for any Bengals fans in Chicago! The front main bar is also great for watching other games. read more

The food was inedible- its fine for a late night bar for drinks, wouldn't ever come for food. The server was also rude and slow.

$3 Miller Lites on Tuesdays. Good wings, BBQ pork nachos are huge. Pretty decent spot. Nothing special (it's a college bar definitely).

Delicious food and drink, friendly service and plenty of TVs. Highly recommend to anybody

My Cheeseburger sliders well seasoned, the bun is crispy & buttery. Fries came out hot & lightly salted. Marg 'Fuego Puppy Jalapeño' brimmed w/ Tajin. I enjoyed the holiday decor, our server was efficient we went around 1:00p on Holiday Break! read more

food is typically but customer service is poor. always check your food to go bc no matter how many times you repeat yourself and they repeat back somehow it's still wrng. Very frustrating read more

Great place to meet for fun specialty drinks and a variety of beers on tap. We came in from by the el tracks and thought what a cute small bar. Boy, were we deceived ... the first main bar is that way but there's another whole bar attached both upstairs and downstream - what a surprise for us. We were there mid-week, so it was pretty slow but can understand how crowded this popular bar could become on a weekend. Our bartender and server for the afternoon was Mo who was friendly, outgoing, and made newcomers to the bar feel both welcomed and appreciated. I started off with a perfectly poured Guinness on tap. After that, I was in the mood to try some fruity, fun drinks and asked if they could make the drinks that are typically sold in Fishbowls for 4 people into a drink for one. Mo was extremely accommodating and made a Bitchin' Blue Lemonade, KPunch, and Peach Palmer. Each was delicious - poured with a generous amount of alcohol but not so much as to overpower the fruity flavors. Really fun drinks, prices are fair for Lincoln Park area, and service was outstanding. Recommend this bar. read more

Totally a 5/5 place. Only thing I'd like to see is a TV in the front left corner. Like come on! PS. My favorite wings ever read more

I ordered the spiders with a group of my girlfriends! And o.m.g. These are insane. Perfect moisture and toasted buns! The tots are an added bonus! The staff is cute too read more

Great atmosphere and nice employees. Usually a good bucket special. Food is underrated! Rock Chalk!

All I'm gonna say is that I paid more in fees than my actual drinks and wings. Between service fee, environmental fee, 20% tip and taxes, it definitely was excessive! Very rushed service too. Not going back. Kinda ridic. read more

visited Kincade's for their Survivor watch party (for the finale of season 45). GREAT atmosphere with the upstairs bar and tables dedicated to the watch party. Had some delicious drinks, decent pizza, and a really fun time! read more

Typical Irish bar. I wouldn't get anything on top because the cups are pretty small. This might've just been a St. Patrick's Day thing, but I did notice that. Drinks are very reasonably priced and gets a pretty solid crowd. Great to watch sports. read more

Great bar in Lincoln Park. Friendly service. Plenty of malorts. Katie the bartender was great. Highly recommend. read more

Cute neighborhood bar. The food is solid and there always seems to be a good energy in there.

Came to watch the Kansas game and NFL playoffs, Brady was very accommodating and definitely added to our overall experience. Food and drinks were good as well! read more

Kinkaids is a great sports bar. This was our hangout for all Kansas Jayhawk games and it still is a KU bar. I always get the wings which are good as are the burgers. Fun atmosphere and a solid staff. read more

I probably single handedly paid for a year of college for the owners kid. Or at least their groceries. Loved this bar when I lived in Chicago, dollar beer night on Wednesday is hard to beat if your in your 20s. Solid wings. read more

I stood outside in where cold today with my friend and his 2 young girls to watch the bengals in the payoffs. Once they started letting people in the door guy walked up to us as we were front of the line abs said no kids. He let a couple with a toddler in before us and knew we had been outside in the cold for 30 minutes and the game just started. I'm appalled by this place and will never come back...worst experience I've had in 15 years in Chicago. So disappointed when I just wanted to watch the bengals in the playoffs ...also note I called at 11 abs was told ok to bring the girls. This place is appalling and doesn't deserve one star! read more

I like sports bars. I like dive-y bars. This place? HORRENDOUS. Do not. I repeat DO NOT plan a private party here. Or set foot in this grease-stained hell-hole after 10 PM. Yeah the price for a party sounds ok at $20 for house well drinks and beer 9-12, but let me list why it's the worst idea you've ever had: 1.) One waitress for 75 people = nobody got their money's worth on drinks. You had to work for it to get even one drink per hour. And they tell you "oh with the wristband you can go to the bar too" but that is a blatant fallacy. I argued with the bartender on this one too.... got me nowhere. 2.) The whiskey is undrinkable even when it's more coke than whiskey (this coming from a girl who prefers bottom shelf liquors. No joke i'll take McCormick's vodka over Absolut). Ugh this whiskey tastes Canadian or something. And i mean that in the most insulting way possible. 3.) A midnight this place turns into a Celebration of White Trash America festival. a.) One of the Tvs was turned to girls gone wild. GIRLS GONE WILD?? WTF! Flashing fake tits on your screens is the FASTEST way to drive hot girls away from your bar. b.) Two chicks started making out by the bar with a group of gelled hair dbags cheering them on and crowding around with cameras. And to put this semi-tactfully (i know this is quite the bitchy comment) these are the kind of girls that need to make out with each other to attract the attention of guys... 4.) They played shitty rap at a volume incompatible with conversation all night. The kind of stuff you can't dance to and can't understand bc the artist's words are muddled gibberish bc... in a word....they suck. 5.) If you don't pay you're not allowed into the party area - no matter what the reason. a.) One girl drove four paying customers to the party. She wasn't drinking because she had a licensing exam the next day. No entry without pay - designated drivers are not encouraged here. b.) Older sister of the birthday girl had a visibly pregnant friend try to come by to say hello. Sorry Kincade's is too worried about you sneaking a drink (and risking birth defects to your unborn fetus) to let you stop in five minutes. I thought the point of the wristband is the waitress can serve only people that paid. Turns out it's a money grubbing scheme - and we had at least 75 people at this party. Kincade's was making BANK. they could've let in the two very legitimate non-drinkers without making them pay $20. I try to evaluate bars based on what you should expect given the venue and price. This place should get negative five stars. Select any other of the very similar lincoln park establishments and you will have a better night. I guarantee it. read more

Having passed this place many times walking to the "el" I decided to finally go in. The service was good and friendly, the prices were actually better than I expected and the other customers that were there all seemed really cool. Great location as well right by the brown line Armitage station. read more

We are from out of town. Simple things: Club easy to eat and didn't have the 3rd layer of bread. I'm certain many would complain about this. But we preferred it and easier to eat. Also had turkey Ruben. My local bar quit serving it so it was a nice treat. Again. Simple. Service great. But having just raw vege as side was refreshing... we were bad on the sandwich. So we felt better about eating carrots and celery instead of fries! read more

This place is called Kincade's now, perhaps it's been that for a while. I never paid attention. Three bars, impressive it seems like the place just magically unfolds the more you walk on. I went there to meet up with someone and when I went to both bars I found out that there was yet another bar in the back. That's a plus because the front bars were pretty full with a bunch of guys who were confused as to why I was 6 feet in their personal area. The place was busy because it was $1 Miller light, I don't like cheap beer but I didn't pick the place so it was okay. $5 dollar cover?! no live music, no anything except $1 dollar Miller light? and the ability to rub elbows with a bunch of repugnant yuppies who thought they could karaoke to Tupac and Dr. Dre. Why bother? read more

been here about 5 times. Most recently came here for the Hawk's playoffs game and the USA v. Ghana game. BOTH times they kicked us to their downstairs area where the TVs are horrible because they claimed they were not going to put the sound on upstairs, which they lied about.. So we go to their downstairs area and it took them 15 minutes to open up that bar. In the mean time I went back to their main bar and tried to order a drink and was told that I could not be served and had to wait for the downstairs bar to be open. They always have a problem with moving around tables or chairs and putting the sound on for major games. I would never go back here if it wasn't for everyone wanting to go somewhere cheap. read more
