Old Tinley Pub & Eatery - Pizza Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

Lived in the area for a million years and never thought much of the place as the store front doesn't stand out in the plaza... today I was looking for some good bar grub with a down to earth environment and we hit the jackpot! Amazing French onion soup, burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the wings were definitely a hit. We ate coming back and hope to get to know our bartender , Joanne, more as she was so sweet! Don't sleep on this place if you are in the area. read more

Old Tinley Pub & Eatery - French onion soup - Pizza Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

Dear Old Tinley Pub & Eatery, As a bar, your service and selection, atmosphere and pricing are excellent given the competition. I love your pool table and the outside garden. I love the bartenders. But I gotta tell ya, you just might have the best bar food in the world. I have been to bars all over the globe, but the food here puts other pub grub to shame. Hats off to your chef(s). I strongly recommend the French Onion soup, the Beef Sandwich, and the stuffed mushrooms. It seems like every dish here is a culinary masterpiece -- I'm not exaggerating. When you come here, it would be a sin not to try out their menu. They also have a very nice backyard beer garden and a wide selection of video gambling. read more

Best French onion soup and the pizzas!!! Come on! Get the pizza!!! Great beer selections fun drinks the bartender is a fun you will have a good time get here. read more

Great dive bar. Can't remember our bartender's name, but she was awesome. Drinks were awesome. But the stars of the whole affair were the French onion soup and the Italian beef sandwich, both of which were the best I've ever had. read more

$2.50 Miller Lite drafts. That's phenomenal!!! And there's a 75 cent pool table. And good food! Plus an outside patio. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would! Worse place to go to! The moment you walk in the smell should make you turn and run! The old rude lady behind the bar is by far the worst! Word of advice you should wait to trash talk your paying customers after they leave. Also maybe fix your website so that there's no misunderstanding on what time you open for business! DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! From the bad service and the cleanliness of the place, I wouldn't be surprised if you find extra stuff in your food! read more

Stopped in yesterday for the French onion soup, usually is really good. When she brought it out you could smell that it was burnt. Also tasted burnt. Ok fine . But what pissed me off is the bartender her name was Kim served me a blood Mary that was so Damm hot you could not even drink it . And every other time I came in they would add pickles or olives but she was too Damm lazy and complaining to customers next to me how the people behind us had ordered food now they are eating the free food they put out. Very rude miserable person.... read more

I'm not giving it a ONE star... but, I can't give it a 3 either. I'm going to agree with the previous reviewers... it's definitely a "Locals" pub, not that you get completely ignored or anything but, the bartenders do know the locals and they do take more time to talk to them and get their stuff. I can understand that, they're your money makers... they're here all the time. I'm patient, I'll wait a bit. I got to look around for about 5 or so minutes while waiting to be acknowledged. Like Jeannie said, it's dark. There are ceiling fans with light fixtures in them but, they're off, most of the lighting it seems comes from the fridge, video games, electronic dart board and neon signs in the bar. I'm not saying it's pitch black or anything but, a few more lumens would've been nice. When I did get seen, the bartender was cool, I asked about Craft Beers - she knew what they had, didn't even blink as she recited the list. And they DO have a good selection of Craft Beers here, maybe 8 or more from what I remember. I know the had Lakefront IPA, Fat Tire and and Zombie Dust. All three of which are pretty good beers in my opinion. I believe the craft beers were about $4 or so - not bad. Domestic Drafts are $2 during Pub Deals - good deal. I decided on an order of Chicken Tenders - $7.00 about 5 pieces - tasty, but they didn't come with anything else. No fries, no chips... nada. At least they were hot and tender when they came out which is a plus. Still... $7.00 :/ Picture this - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/old-tinley-pub-and-eatery-tinley-park?select=lFDKCv8eeQTzIsxpSG7Phw The Pub seems to have more of an older crowd too. Not that I have anything against that... just didn't seem like many 20-30 somethings would come in here. It's a relaxed blue collar place, you go in, see your neighbor or your work buddy, play pool with a bartender and carouse with other locals... Don't worry 'bout the brown guy with an empty beer at the end of the bar, he's just checkin ' it out after work. There's nothing "Wrong" with this place per se, nothing at all, IF you're a regular. If you live in the area and need a place to go - this is an option for you. If you're just passing by and want to check out a bar... there's other ones on the strip a bit more 'accommodating' to newbies. read more

Old Tinley Pub & Eatery - Frontage - Pizza Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

See all

Negative 4 stars Monday is free pizza lucky if you get it after an hour. The service sucks !! I ordered vodka n sprite , she forgot to add the vodka ‍ I asked her after spending over a hundred dollars where is the pizza ？ Reply was so many people ordered that's why it's taking so long. They only had 2 people at the bar and one table for over an hour. I will never come here again. I had to put one star to post ‍ read more

Very friendly dive bar. Cheap drinks and a decent collection of craft beers. The food is very underrated. The pizza is one of the best around. Also try the burger, stuffed mushrooms, and French onion soup! read more

This is a dive bar, emphasis on dive...which I am not opposed to. It's the kind of place, that if you are a regular, you are treated well. I love these types of bars.....if you are a regular. However, if you are not a regular, you are ignored and you can stand at the bar, waving your hands in the air, while the bartender looks right past you and turns her back...awesome!! When she finally does come over, paying $4 for a Corona light is so worth it. Came here tonight to do our FF draft - at night. There were no lights - and I mean, absolutely no lighting from the ceiling, to illuminate the area where the tables are. Trying to pick you teams, from paper, in the dark - really doesn't work. But, thankfully, they had extremely loud music pumping in, so not only could we not see, we could not hear. I would never go back here, I'd drop out of the FF league first. read more

Lets see here, I went into this place on a Saturday night with some friends and was warmly greeted by the owner, as we sat down we got that look from everyone else like who are these guys, as it would turn out most of the patrons were good people. I played it safe and stuck with bottled beer before we decided to do a round of shots. I ordered Grey Goose and was sorely disappointed when the shot I got was a very low grade vodka. It smelt like gasoline and tasted even harsher. I told the bartender and she completely blew me off and said " yea ok!". I really didn't like her demeanor off the bat as she came off as a miserable person (being ugly didn't help her cause either) so the vodka pretty much put me over the edge and my group ended up leaving after that. Besides a bartender with a bad attitude this place wasn't horrible.... Just don't order any Grey Goose. read more

Terrible just awful, don't come here. It's so bad. It's the same equivalence as dendrinos but closes earlier

My boyfriend and I walked in and sat down at a table by the window..the bartender came over and asked" what do you want"..really?..no hi..no how are you doing..no my name is..anyways..i smiled and said.."we told her we were still thinking"..she looked at me up and down and walked away. HORRIBLE FIRST IMPRESSION..NEVER COMING BACK! read more

This place is just a local bar. Mixed crowd, you definitely can pick out the regulars. But, every one there is nice and friendly. I have never seen any drama going on in this place. Just low key, relaxing, gave ur self a good time. One pool table and slots too They have different bands play all the time. Some were very different. But, the food is amazing. I still crave there hamburger. I would never spend $10 for a burger. But this takes the cake. Staff is nice. Some more than others. Just watch ur tab. Got charged for other peoples drinks. The owner is very friendly. read more

Some of the older Irish patrons became infuriated when I played Elvis Crespo's suavemente. Will never step foot in this place again, some people don't appreciate an oldie but a goodie. read more

Best dive bar on Oak Park ave. Pizza is great, takes a little while so have a drink, French Onion soup is also a favorite of mine. Great burger too, no complaints it's a dive bar, people are nice not scary, read more

Dive bars are still around and they make for interesting times. This was no exception. Friday's they offer free pizza when you purchase drinks. Why not try it. Walking in the place reeks of stale smoke. And it became obvious as to why when everyone ventured right outside the front door to smoke. The place as its regulars and a few were friendly, offering to by drinks and chatting. The tall barkeep was on top of everything, filling drinks orders and cleaning up the table. The pizza was good the drinks ok. Well drinks turn into a bad headache the next day. read more

Went there expecting to find a sports bar to watch the baseball games. What I found was a tavern. Because they have a few TV's does not make this a sports bar. I sat at the bar and while the service was good, I was never offered a menu. It is a locals only spot and they treat you that way. read more

super friendly staff - and the regulars are totally welcoming. came in and loved every single song that they'd put into the jukebox - always a good sign. PLUS the FOOD. holy crap. i think they've recently changed their menu, so i can't really comment on what the food used to be, but i had about the best goat cheese flatbread ever when we were in there the other night. YUM. read more

My wife and I tried out the pubs new menu Saturday night and it's fantastic! We had the pub sticks, crab cakes, Greek burger and royal burger. With the new menu and chef they have easily surpassed the rest of the bars in tinley with the quality of the food and have elevated the themselves to an eating destination. They've kept their best dishes from before including the beef sandwich, French onion soup and pizza. Do not. DO NOT miss out on this amazing food in our back yard. read more

I walked in and was immediately hit with an strange smell? More about that later. The place looks like an old tavern. Very worn out. The bartenders come in two flavors. Tall, happy and considerate. Or Short, crusty and more crusty! The patrons seem to be very jovial as we had one guy buying us drinks. Now to truly judge the constituents, I went into the washroom and looked at the sink. Clean as a bell and bone dry. So, either the guys were all wearing Depends. Or they were taking a piss against the building when they would go out for a smoke. Either way, they weren't washing their hands. Back to the smell. The bar emptied out every 20 minutes or so for the smoke-a-thon. That's about the time that the odor went away? it's a fun place though, if you get the right bartender. Friday night is free pizza with drinks. And the pie is very good. Thursday is karaoke night. I don't quite see that with this crowd! read more

This is a nice old dive-bar in Tinley Park. It's actually my favorite bar on Oak Park Ave. It's simple and old and doesn't tend to get crowded with college kids. It's not trendy or anything. The service is decent. And, i've never had it, but I often hear that the pizza is pretty good too. It's a nice place to go if you're just looking to relax and have a drink or two. read more

Went in to have a few drinks this weekend only to find out that the best bartender they have Ginny no longer works there, which sucks for this place because all the other bartenders were far from friendly. Guess I'll have to find were Ginny works now and go there. read more

Love love love their bartender Ginny! She is very friendly! Great neighborhood pub to hang out in.

The menu has been revamped and I believe a new cook has been hired. Whatever the case may be, the food is delicious! The crowd and decor of the bar is nothing special. I come for the food! If you are looking for a delicious Burger or Rueben with great sides check it out! read more

Staff is always very friendly. They have the greatest pizza of any neighborhood bar and grill I have ever had.
