    Beer And The Hummus Dip
    Steve A.

    Came here a few times, and it seems like a basic neighborhood bar. It's convenient for those going up Western in Rogers Park. Mullen's has lots of good beer and liquor, and some okay food too. For sure service can be slow, even when it's not busy here. There's lots of TVs, making it a good place for watching games or whatever. Basically it's a neighborhood bar. It doesn't look like anything that special, just a place to hang out and watch games. The beer selection is pretty good though. It often has a draft on special for $3 or about. There's a nice choice of local craft beers too. As for the food, it's not all bad. Of course there's the typical bar stuff like greasy fries and wings. Also healthier options like the Hummus Dip. It's $11 for a big portion of hummus with pitas and vegetables. Also there's burgers. They have an Impossible Burger for plant based eating. Has room inside for big gatherings, and for a bar it's pretty clean. It has good drink specials and both greasy and healthy food. This is one of those sports bars with tons of televisions.

    Best bar around West Ridge. The menu is yummy the drinks menu is ample and staff is super nice. There's televisions wrapped around for sports a pool table and darts. Easy access via Western or Touhy buses. Parking accessible around the bar.

    Pretty average wings that can be found in any local bar. I do appreciate these weren't those unappetizing jumbo wings. These were the perfect size. There's a lot of reviews proclaiming Mullen's awesomeness. I suspect the folks running the bar are really good at making the bar a cool hangout. I'll try again to experience the vibe first-hand. For now. ..3.4 stars for the wings.

    Good neighborhood bar & grill. We were in this neighborhood looking at new places to live and decided to stop in to Mullen's..... which seems to be the best choice in this vicinity. It looks like a total dive bar, but felt very comfortable inside. It's the kind of place that seemed like everyone sort of knew each other. The menu said they have "Award Winning" wings.....unfortunately I didn't get to try them. We ordered The Irish Burger and a Reuben....both were very good. I'd like to go back again and try the wings. The food and service were both good, but I have 1 main issue which is probably the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars. I ordered my burger medium and it was really more medium well or well done. I usually let that slide because I'd rather it be overcooked than under. What bothered me was that wasn't the only issue. We ordered sweet potato tater tots and got regular instead. I mentioned it to our server and he put in the order again for the sweet potato ones. They came out when we were already finishing up, so we didn't eat them.....but we still got charged for them. My recommendation is if you mess up the order then comp it....dont bring it out last minute and still charge us for it. It wasn't crowded and it was just 2 of us ordering 2 meals....so if there's 2 mistakes I have to ask that they review their process. I'm still giving 4 stars as I thought it was a decent place.

    For a neighborhood bar, this place is great. They play UFC fights, which brings my boyfriend and I here on a monthly basis. The place is fairly large, but if there's a fight on, you'll need to get there around 9-9:30 to ensure a seat. They also have a pool table and a bunch of dart boards if that's your thing- pretty sure they have a league too. As for food and drinks, I've never had something I didn't like. The domestic drafts are $3 on Saturday nights, which is generally when we come. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a neighborhood bar.

It's spacious and a super cool venue, which was used for my daughter's high school fundraiser last weekend. I visited Double Clutch twice within one week. The first was a meeting held at the venue right before the event where everyone got to enjoy some beer (except those of us who don't love beer and opted for water) and some of the food that would be served at the event the following weekend. I munched on some turnbuckle pretzels, fried buffalo bites and cauli wings- all were pretty good! A few days later we sold out with a 300 person event, although honestly we could have fit way more in the space because there was plenty of room to move around. The band Go Ask Your Mum was playing lots of fun 80s and 90s hits, there was a buffet of the food we had tried a few days beforehand and the bar was busy. I opted for wine, which was good. The acoustics here aren't great, which i noticed during the meeting and during the event. The band was fun to listen to, but i could hardly hear anyone i was speaking to. But that's really my only complaint since it's a great space!

Molly was wonderful to work with--organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. The second-floor party space is fantastic. It feels private and perfect for gatherings, with its own bar and restrooms, which made hosting incredibly convenient. (The only thing to note is that the space is accessible by stairs only.) We were also able to stream a slideshow at no additional cost and play our teens' Spotify playlist, which added such a fun and personal touch to the event. The food was a huge hit--guests couldn't stop talking about the Detroit-style pizza, chopped salad, and chicken wings. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. A special shoutout to Steve, our bartender, who took excellent care of us throughout the event. His attentiveness and friendly service really elevated the entire experience.

The pretzel, while huge, was literally coated in salt to the degree it was inedible. The cheese sauce that came with it was grainy, separated, and terrible.

The chicken quesadilla had completely different ingredients than the menu, and it seemed like they just threw it together. Never again. If I could give zero stars, I would.

It's located right down the street from Northwestern University's football stadium (whatever the heck they're naming it). This is a nice hidden gem in Evanston. Not located downtown, it may have a chance to stick around a while. As Jane V. noted in her review, you are greeted by a delicious smoky smell when you enter the restaurant. It was an inviting smell (at least for me), others in our group thought we were walking into a barbecue joint and were less than thrilled, but the menu put them at ease as it has a lot of options. There were five of us and one couple decided to share a couple appetizers as their entrees. They ordered the Cauliflower Buffalo Bites, and the Macho Nacho. They were huge portions easily enough for us all to share. However, my wife and I don't see eye-to-eye with our eating habits (she is mostly vegetarian and I'm a card-carrying carnivore), so she was not about to share the smoky wings and cheesy tots with me. I opted for the Chicken Vesuvio entree, and she and our other friend both ordered the Inside-Out Grilled Cheese. I would say most the sandwiches looked good (no portobello for me, thanks). I would say though, the desserts are pretty generic, so we opted out, but their is a door inside the restaurant to the donut shop next door (which was closed), but I wanted to try that place, so I'll have to make another trek out there for them and review them later. I'm amazed that the donut shop, DB3 Donuts, does not appear on their menu at all, despite having a connecting door from one establishment to the other, but alas, I've heard their apple crisp and brownie are good, but neither were too appealing that night. All meals were delicious and I definitely need to go back and try other dishes. And may DB3, if they are open. Give this place some love as it is a nice gem in Evanston.

My hubby had a Margarita that was just delightful. Our appetizers were: Angry Shrimp (really delicious) shrimp with a spicy tomato garlic sauce. Served over polenta cake. Ahi Tuna Wanton (mango jicama salsa, avocado, and teriyaki sauce) This should be their signature appetizer).The presentation is impeccable. It appealed to our eyes before the 1st bite. And,the first bite, as well as the rest, was wonderful. We would gladly return here just for this. Our entrees were: Grilled Salmon with corn risotto, grilled asparagus, smoked tomato aioli. The salmon was well cooked to medium, not too dry, and not too rare. The plate was well balanced and everything was very tasty. Smoked Sampler My favorite! Rib tips, brisket, pulled pork, Texas toast, cole slaw. For dessert: Chocolate Brownie Apple Crisp Both were so good that we did not want to share! The next time you are in the Evanston area, you really must stop in for their delicious food!

There are also two garage doors that I assume can be opened when the weather is good. For you folks with dogs, beer drinkers who drink beyond the basic beers, bubble drinkers (like me) and those that want to bring in their own food...this is your place. We went there to meet some friends and to watch some football. For such a small place, they do have plenty of TVs with multiple games going. It was great to be able to have pizza delivered, with the bartender providing paper plates, and napkins for us to use. The bartender was also very cool about bringing our drinks over or picking up empties as we were sitting a a table away from the bar. I didn't get his name, but he was cool. There is street parking but not on Peterson itself. I would say, depending on the day, it might be hard to find a spot as you have to park on Ridge or some of the side streets. There is a new Metra station down the street that is about 2 blocks from the bar. Not sure if there is public parking available, but worth checking out. I could see myself coming here just because I can bring my own food and still get bubbles. While they do not carry bubbles by the bottle, the stuff they had in the can was good. I would love to go there when the weather is nicer and they have the garage doors open. And it is a happy compromise to hanging out with friends who have dogs that they just can't live without who also like to drink. This is a place we can definitely hang out with them and have a good time.
