Had a wonderful time here as always, but our server Ashley is the reason to stay! She's lovely, first to be kind and make you feel welcome, and overall a great time! We will come back because of her!!!! read more

Wanted a bite to eat after a game at Wrigley! Old Crow is extremely close to the stadium and despite it being extremely busy we were seated quickly and had really great service. The huge pretzel is more than enough for 2 to 3 people, and comes with two dipping sauces. Served warm goes so good with a cold drink. The brisket sliders were phenomenal with a really rich barbecue sauce and well seasoned fries and a creamy coleslaw. Super happy we stopped here and highly recommend! read more

Came here before a cubs game, rooftop was real nice. It was packed but the bartenders were fast and on point. Got some beers and a whiskey. Fun times for sure. I didn't eat but the place smelled like BBQ and the food I seen in people's table looked fire. read more

Atmosphere was great! Extremely rude bartender completely ruined the night. The place itself is very nice though!

Great spot on Clark street for the games and fun atmosphere. It's huge but always seems to be packed. They always have good music going as well. Drinks are good and so is the grub - this time around I got the buffalo chicken salad, which was a big portion with a lot of breaded crispy buffalo chicken. The Mac and cheese and fries were also delicious and good portions to share. Everything was at a very reasonable price as well! Quick service too. read more

One of the staff members was very rude and withheld the karaoke song my little sister wanted unless we paid them $50... so weird. Predatory staff for sure. I wouldn't go here if i was a young person. My drink was fine, nothing to write home about. The room was big but it felt super empty considering how few people were there. I wouldn't go back.. also the bouncer was rude which was weird. read more

Old crow smokehouse some pretty good bbq. This is more of a fun bar establishment with lots of space and a busy crowd. I'd go here for a sports game and get food if I happened to be here. Not a place I'd come to if I just wanted a meal, although the food is decent. Their decor is what sets them apart. We came in December and the place was all decked out in lights and Christmas decor. It was quite cold inside when we came in at night, but the server was nice and let us switch tables since we were getting hit with a draft from the door. It's very on theme for Wrigleyville establishments which attracts a younger crowd. read more

it's fine... finally paid a visited after years of passing by going to cubs games. huge space. right away, the line dancing (thursday nights) caught my attention. SO FUN. i didn't join but really really want to come back. the food was nothing special. i got the brussels sprouts (it's a bbq joint, nothing much for the vegi). server was a doll. my husband and kiddo were content enough with the burnt ends and mac but we don't need to go back - they like smoke daddy much better for their bbq! read more

Old Crow Smokehouse is one of the best places for just about anything. The food is amazing, specifically their chicken sandwich, fries, and sliders! The staff from servers to bouncers are well trained and amazing at what they do. Whether you're there to eat and watch a game during the day, or kicking back some drinks at night, Old Crow is the place to be! read more

Old Crow is a staple in the Wrigleyville neighborhood in Chicago. I've been coming here for years and it's usually a pretty good time! Old Crow is always part of all the bar crawls, all the events, all the holiday fun stuff, etc. This place is BIG - it has a huge base level that's split into two with an upstairs rooftop / patio. I've seldom been here where it isn't packed - for such a big space, it gets crowded really fast especially on weekends and game days. They surprisingly have good food for a bar that isn't usually used for a dinner place necessarily. They have super yummy nachos and BBQ options. I also love their signature cocktails which are served in a mason jar. I much rather order those than a simple drink here. Sometimes the pricing is a little whack - for a simple vodka cranberry it's $11, and for a vodka Red Bull it's $15. For the same price I can get a nice signature cocktail at other bars. The upstairs is a fun space in the summer when it's nice. There's tables and lounges (I think you have to pay to reserve/sit at the lounges but I could be wrong). Old Crow always goes hard for holidays - it's completely decked out currently for the holidays and it looks awesome! I'm not a big fan of Wrigleyville in general, but Old Crow is a good bar. It brings in a young crowd, has good signature drinks, and is spacious even though it usually gets incredibly busy. I'd recommend it for a stop in your night for a drink! read more

old crow is one of the Big Spots in wrigleyville and it's definitely a good time. The strawberry hoedown drink was rlly good! i would definitely get it again. one of my friends got the drink with blackberries and that one was also good. rly refreshing. i found it unique that most of the drinks have moonshine in them. in wrigley i struggle to sometimes find drinks that aren't unbearably strong because the whole point is kinda just to bar hop around this street and get super wasted but i liked that their drinks are actually enjoyable lol. ive never eaten here and was surprised by how good the food actually was. i got the brisket sliders - the brisket was delicious but i wish there was more coleslaw in them. the fries were pretty great and they give a TON. this is a good place to come and watch a game and hang with friends! good service too. I'd definitely recommend coming here and potentially making it your first stop if you're planning on bar hopping and need to get some food in you first. read more

The burnt ends were rather dashing. At first, I was skeptical. But wow, was I surprised. They were scrumptious.

Bbq and beers make good for a pregame slugfest at Wrigley. Lilly took excellent care of us and got us in and out so we wouldn't miss the game. She was manning twelve tables, during a crowded per game. It was maybe a lot, but she took care of us like a champ. The fries were good as a side and I was impressed with the pit sandwich. It was plenty of sandwich that paired well with that Goose Green Line. My brother thought his Nashville chicken sandwich was pretty good too. It was flavorful and not overbreaded. It would be a good place to go for a quick bite, and certainly up for consideration for a pre/post game celebrations. The environment was very busy. It was casually loud and plenty of folks were in Cubs and Sox gear for the Crosstown Series. read more

BRING EAR PLUGS! I cannot stress that enough. Was visiting my niece (college age) and while she was right that the outdoor space was nice and open with lots of TVs. However, it was PAINFULLY loud. I go to concerts regularly and love sporting events-I can handle loud, but this was obnoxious. Even the server agreed but didn't offer to do anything about it. Food was fine. But not enough to make up for the bleeding from my ears. Literally still ringing. :-( read more

Don't understand the bad reviews. The atmosphere is amazing here, lots of space - plus live music. Came on Sunday afternoon for a game, and couldn't ask for more - speedy and accommodating service, large screens, enclosed patio and amazing music. Go to place from now on. read more

This review reflects only the food, not the service; the service was solid. The food is simply not good. I've had my fair share of nachos and wings, and this place doesn't measure up. The concept of brisket nachos is great, but if you're just going to slap it on as a garnish, what's the point? I wouldn't mind the brisket itself, but the nachos tasted as if they were coated in sea salt. If you want to find a fairly unseasoned chip, you have to dig through refried beans (at least, I think that's what it is) and taco meat sauce. This dish had the potential to be great but fell short-- real short. Now, let's talk about the chicken wings. I'm here for smoked wings, so I asked about the sauces and chose a honey-something flavor. When I received the wings, they looked lightly fried, with a solid crisp on the skin. However, once I bit into them, I noticed the chicken was slightly undercooked, as if they were taken out of the "fryer" too early. All in all, skip it if you can. Oh, the Bud Light was great. read more

A casual but cute hangout place with good BBQ. It's great for a night out with awesome live music (usually country)! Honestly, I though the drinks were average, but it makes up for it with a lively ambiance. The high ceiling and extra space inside is the best part. Never too stuffy! - AT read more

We have never had a bad time here. The food is always amazing, the service is always great, the beer is always cold! What else do you need. Usually have some good live music on their stage, I'm not even the biggest country fan but they do a good job making it fun. Rooftop in the warms months and a great location down the street from Wrigley. Always recommend my out of town people to check it out! read more

I LOVE OLD CROW. This is one of my all time favorite bars I Chicago, especially for football (go buckeyes). Anyways, they had some changes in the kitchen not too long ago (I believe a new chef) & the quality has gone down TREMENDOUSLY. I ordered the mini smash burgers and came out on these dusty, cold buns with cheese barely melted on served with fries that tasted like they've been sitting out for days. Terrible. I hate to say nothing about it was good, but I'd be lying if not. Please bring back the OG seasoning for the French fries on top of everything else. Anyways still would 10/10 recommend coming to this place but maybe just for the vibes not the food read more

Wanted to watch some World Cup soccer after visiting another shop a few doors up. Popped in here! Nice big TV, good crowd. The Bloody Marys were definitely tasty. That's where it ended. Ordered the Breakfast Burger, and it was possibly the greasiest thing I've ever eaten. Bleagh. Our server was friendly, but somewhat inattentive. Oh, Wrigleyville - you never fail to disappoint. read more

I loved my first visit to Old Crow! It's a classic outdoor Wrigleyville bar with fun Nashville-esque vibes. I loved their giant screen to watch the Cubs game on! It was a busy game day, but we were still able to scout out a table to sit at & it was relatively easy to get ahold of the bartender. Food and drinks were out quick! I got a Topo Chico Hard Seltzer and I loved that they had them in glass bottles. My friends from the area swore by them having great chicken tenders - and I was definitely skeptical, but I was proven wrong. They were amazing - and not like any other bar chicken tender! They had a corn-flake like breading and nice pieces of chicken. Definitely enough to share with another person (the picture attached is part-way through chowing down on them!). The fries had a sweet bbq rub that I didn't mind, and the meal also came with a side of ranch. Overall, I'll definitely be back next time in town - and want to try some more of their food! read more

I visited and the food is very mediocre, it's incredibly loud, overpriced, sticky floors, overall a bad experience.

Went here before a concert for drinks and food! Loved the rooftop and quick service, as well as the many food options. Was filling to share with 2 other friends. This is a good stop if you're looking for a country themed bar with great barbecue. read more

The crowd this bar attracts is terrifying. It's all young adults that probably went to a state school in the Midwest and moved to chicago to work in insurance or something. Not a fun place to be under the influence. Also, we got there when there were still servers taking orders, and no one came up to us to take our order. We ended up leaving because the vibes were bad. Three stars because the last time I went to Old Crow, they made me a crazy strong Long Island and there was live music. Fun place to stop by at like midnight after getting drunk somewhere else. Not a fun place to hang out. read more

What an absolute joke of an establishment! Arrived last night in a group all ready for a good nights fun and we were swiftly turned away at the door by a very obnoxious bouncer who barked "no Irish allowed in, Americans only tonight. It's the 4th of July!!" Oh sweet lord are you for real ??? Yes he was. We were a small group of Irish ladies. Not intoxicated. All with our passports. What a disgrace of a business. We were told by a lot of people that the US had become a very unfriendly and discriminatory place and tonight confirmed that for us. 'MERICA read more

Update. The GM contacted us regarding the situation. He was understanding and ended up comping our meal. Sidenote...before any of this happened, we had the wings. They were REALLY GOOD. read more

First time in Chicago, our coaching staff enjoyed a fantastic experience at Old Crow Smokehouse. Of the half dozen restaurants, we visited during our time in the city, this was without question our favorite. Open concept, big screens for the games, authentic BBQ, and high energy - over the top country covers come later hours. Note: The Homie only knew 60% of the words, but vibes were off the charts. Of everything though, the best part was our waitress Katrina who was absolute dynamite. Top notch in every way. Solid banter (Needed for Boston guys), remarkable service, and contagious smile. 14/10 recommend! Make sure to get the mac & cheese brisket sandwich and ask for Katrina! read more

What a fun place to pregame before the Cubs game. We were among the first to arrive before a Friday afternoon game. Nice selection of bar food along with numerous beers.

Our server was very attentive and checked on us regularly. Hanging out on the rooftop with fans blowing was the best read more

Had a great time on Halloween. Found this place on Eventbrite while looking around for something spooky to do for the coolest holiday on the calendar. For $10 (early bird rate), the organizers managed to arrange a buffet and 2 complimentary drinks for such a low cost. The place was spacious the staff was awesome and the TVs screens and music really set the mood. With high top and table seating options were plentiful, the bar cocktails were nice a boozy to complement the night. Sweet place to checkout if looking to hang with friends or go on a casual date. read more
