As this bar continues to get more and more popular, the crowd & atmosphere seem to be changing as well. Very loud music after sundown (which is fine, but bad for conversation) is giving this bar more of a club feel recently. Several times I've experienced long waits for the men's room only to see multiple guys walk out of the locked bathroom. (Whether this is cocaine, blowjobs, or just a scheduled team meeting, it's equally annoying when you're trying to use the bathroom..) read more

Such a great place just a shade off the beaten path of Wrigley. The bartenders are fast, experienced and hilarious!!! The kitchen puts a creative/delicious spin on tacos and burgers.........especially the smash burger! The waitresses went above and beyond to make my friends and I feel welcomed........including a shot!! Definitely the place to go if you want a slightly lower key version of Wrigleyville. Great music as well!!! read more

The Graystone Tavern - Smash Burger with the fried chicken taco - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great location, great food, great drinks and the owner Kyle is awesome! A friend and I went before a cubs game and had an absolute blast! Drinks are prices fairly. There was trivia night on the night that I went. Visiting for a cubs game, I'll be sure to go back. read more

The Graystone Tavern - My friend, the owner Kyle and I. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This review is somewhat incomplete because I only ordered carry out; therefore, it is based upon food only. I stopped by there last night as I was craving tacos because it was Taco Tuesday duh and their menu definitely features their tacos. I love trying new places so I figured to give this a try. I ordered the BLT, California, and Cajun Shrimp tacos with corn tortillas as I am trying to eat somewhat healthy. I thought the tacos were very small for $3.50/taco, but they're probably the size that I should be eating. In comparison, Antique Taco and Velvet Tacos are almost twice as big for about $4/taco. I'm curious when ordering a flour tortilla, if they will add more fillings since they're usually bigger. My favorite was the Cajun Shrimp taco as the shrimp had good flavor with the spices. I would probably not order the other two again as they were nothing to write home about. Others I would like to try would be the Korean, Philly, Chicago Beef, and Nacho tacos. When comparing taco places in the area, I would prefer El Burrito Mexicano and Azteca Grill, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they specialize in them. The bar was pretty crowded as there was Trivia going on at 7:30pm. Since I live in Wrigleyville, I will have to come back and try some of their other food. Their nachos look really good! They also have some great weekly food and drink specials as well! This bar definitely has potential to be one of my local watering holes as they didn't really have the Wrigleyville "Let's get blackout drunk post-grad students" vibe. read more

The Graystone Tavern - BLT, California, and Cajun Shrimp Tacos - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here one night for dinner. Heard they had great tacos. Spoke to the waitress and got her input on what she likes... tried out her recommendations and one of my own choosing, 3 tacos in total. They were somewhat tasty... but small and not very filling. Beer prices were standard... not sure I would go back alone or for a date.. maybe, for drinks though. read more

The wings here are SO good so I've been back quite a few times to make to-go orders. Everyone I've come, it's take 30-45mins for my wings. So I tried ordering ahead of time on line. I was given a 15mins pick up time. I know that's not possible for this place so I have them 25. I came to get my food and waited for 15mins, trying and failing to get an answer from the staff about my food. Turns out, it's been given away (because no one monitors the online orders) The chef remade my order...which took 25 more mins. So a few weeks later, I ordered online again and went in at the specific pick up time (20mins)...and waited against the back wall by the kitchen (since there's nowhere else to wait)...for another 15mins...once again completely ignored by staff. So my review is that if that this place is only worth it if you're willing to go through some trials and tribulations for your food. read more

God damn. This place is so ridiculously loud. They're blasting music at decibels previously only heard on the runway at O'Hare. The bar is always crowded, so you need to elbow your way past people to order drinks. I've been here twice and both times, I couldn't wait to leave. Make your friends go elsewhere, even if you have to physically drag them. I expect Jon Taffer will be arriving any minute to scream at the staff for what a disaster this place is. Note: Their website has stock photos of far more appetizing bars/restaurants. Nice bait-and-switch. read more

Chanukah pop up bar was SO cool! Never seen anything like it. Please keep doing this annually.

I got the loaded fries with seasoned curly fries and no bacon. Thought it was weird they were served in a paper tray, but they were pretty good and definitely LOADED. read more

The Graystone Tavern - LOADED FRIES & TOTS - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Was in the mood for a burger and chicken sandwich and decided to support local during this pandemic instead of a chain like Shake Shack. Picked up carry out and it's basically inedible. Burger was charred black, buns soggy and falling apart, fries tasted like they were cooked 2 hours ago. Headed to Shake Shack now. read more

GREAT TIME HERE. So much fun and everyone is so friendly. The food here is pretty tasty.

One of the coolest places ever! Great hospitality too! Definitely check it out if you're in wrigleyville.

The Graystone Tavern has a great selection of tacos. In addition to your more standard options, they have some really interesting ones too; I really liked the spicy korean chicken taco and tempura avocado taco. They were all priced between $3 and $4 but there was a good amount of food in each one. I will definitely come back on Wednesdays when their tacos are $2 each! They also had a pretty good drink selection and beer garden with plenty of TVs. If you're not bothered by the sound of the red line passing by the beer garden every few minutes, this would be a great place to catch a game. read more

Good service, very tasty burger !! And the BEST sweet potato fries I ever tried! Thank you!!!

I had some food delivered, and it was delicious! The mac & cheese is super creamy and a huge portion. I definitely have leftovers. I will for sure stop in or order out again! read more

The Graystone Tavern - Mac & Cheese - yum! - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yaaaaassss Betch. FOOD: my goodness. The tacos on Wednesday are $2 tacos. We tried the Jerk Chicken, Korean (beef), Cajun shrimp, Baja fish, and fried chicken. Each better than the next. No, seriously, I put them in order. DRINKS: Pretty good. They take a while to set in, in terms of strength, but we worth the wait. SERVICE: Great service. the bartender was super transparent about the business model, their attempts at advertising, and their specials. Loved it. read more

Found a new family here to watch Chelsea F.C. Such a great atmosphere to watch the matches. Staff is top tier. Definitely consider this place home. And the food is amazing! read more

Wandered into this place after getting caught in a snowstorm, and glad I did! The bar definitely has a dive bar feel with lots of charm, and the food was awesome. I had the loaded fries and my friend ordered the tacos, which were amazing. For being a Friday night around 9/10 pm, this place wasn't very crowded, but we had a great time just hanging out with friends. The service was great too, and the bar also had some random games to entertain people (again, gives it a fun dive bar vibe). Would definitely come back! read more

We were in the area for Cubs game. We searched for 'wings' on Yelp and thanks to the helpful Yelp reviews we came across Graystone. This neighborhood bar had some really tasty and meaty wings. Try the Graystone sauce it's got a unique sweet flavor that we all enjoyed. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The place is cleaner than you expect for a neighborhood bar and not too loud. I'll be back when in the area and you should take the extra time to find this place and grab some wings. read more

Came here on a random Wednesday night and we're pleasantly surprised by a few $4 beer selections and, even better, $2 tacos!!!! They have some pretty amazing taco choices, and all the ones my wife and I got were delicious! The service was amazing, our server was super friendly and efficient, and despite the busyness and the fact we sat outside, he was extremely helpful and never annoyed with our requests. Their draft selection is pretty decent, and of course they have even more bottled stuff. We didn't get to go back to their beer garden, bit how could it be bad? We'll definitely be back - and this time ready to win their "The Office" themed trivia night! read more

Decent place, has good beer list.....they really need to play better music. Feels like a dive bar that would play cool rock music, instead we get Katy Perry. Fun time, room for improvement. read more

Amazing burger and Irish nachos. Had lunch here after the Cubs World Series Rally Great service, I will definitely come back read more

Went here after a game. Back patio was almost empty. Food and drinks came quickly. There are a couple games out back like Jenga and a couple others. Great place to stop after a game to grab some food and recoup. read more

I had to call the chef and let him know his wings are so delicious! My review is strictly based on my delivery order, can't vouch for the customer service or the establishment. But damn! Those wings are so amazing! I had the Graystone sauce and Korean BBQ. Both had a great flavor, were cooked perfectly, and were so juicy. Good heat and flavor. The wings were plump, not anemic like you get at most places. Hands down the best wings I've had in the city. My search for truly awesome wings has ended, customer for life! read more

This is the place to be for Vikings games. The energy is electric and the service is impressive. If I can't be at US Bank stadium, this is definitely the next best thing. The food is also a pleasant surprise. Bar food but elevated. read more

We came here after eating somewhere else. We were welcomed in and treated like family. After spending so much time in the downtown area, it was so nice to find a friendly down home place. I would recommend this place to anyone in the chicago area, to come in and enjoy the ambiance. Matty, the bartender, and Shy,a part owner, were so welcoming and made us feel completely at home! read more

Review for delivery only: I ordered the spicy garlic wings which were flabby and the sauce was nonexistent. The wings had no flavor and just an oily coating with some garlic at the bottom of the container. There is nothing worse than flabby chicken skin on what should be a crispy wing! I also ordered the southwest burger. I appreciated the brioche bun and fresh jalapeños, but the actual burger was incredibly bland. You do realize you should season a burger right? The tater tots were good... but it takes a special kind of stupid to F those up. All together I would not order again or ever go in when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Took my teen kids there before a concert at Wrigley. Great comfort/bar food in large portions so I would say it was a good value. Waiter was very attentive with drink orders and refills. Kids lived Will return. read more

Awesome taco selections and they are half off on Wednesday's! The Fried Chicken one is my favorite! I am a SUPER tough critic when it comes to Mac & Cheese but let me just say, somebody's grandma must be back there making it because it was delicious! read more

Love this place! Amazing drinks and major props for their Chanukah decor. Such a chill, fun place to drink and eat. Staff is super friendly and makes great shots. read more

The kitschen was closed when we got here, but the people in the bar was so serviceable that that didn't matter. And they ordered burgers from the neighbouring place for us, so we got to eat still. Lovely place. read more

Stopped in during tbox and loved the food and drinks here. The bartenders were on point with quick and friendly service and food was delish. Tried the fried chicken and steak taco and was so happy with my choices. Both were packed with flavor. I want to come back for their weekend brunch! They played good mix of music too read more

Way to go Gray, you always mess up my tab and give my card to the wrong person. The bartenders need to stop getting drunk and being reckless. read more

Went here for brunch because every where else was full. I should of gotten the hint when I walked in that it was empty should of been a sign!! I ordered a breakfast burrito it was disgusting it had burnt bacon beyond recognition it was frozen and re cooked ,some over fried hashbrowns which where more like sand dust. DO NOT EAT HERE YOU WILL PROBABLY GET SICK!! read more

This is the best bar I have ever been to! There isn't a place as friendly, as awesome, and as delicious as this. It's your home town bar that is heart first and bar second. Just good people with a good vibe. A special place that a tourist will remember. Kelly is awesome and her number two Kyle is pretty awesome. read more

These are the best wings in Chicago hands down. I'm from Portland and we are known as a foodie city with some great wing restaurants but we have nothing on this level. If this restaurant was in Portland it would have a line out the door 24/7. Highly underrated restaurant! read more

The tater tots are amazing! I know what you are thinking "tater-tots? Way to go preschooler!" To that I say "Nay, kind Person. Tater-tots are supreme fried potato accoutrement. And The Graystone has the best!" I always order tots if they are on the menu anywhere and so often tots can be so wrong. Either fried too much or not enough. Or fried in old oil so they taste funky. The tots here are always super crispy and appropriately salty. And you get a HUGE ORDER! Huge! Shareable (or not, I don't judge) There are also tacos that are all over the place as far as flavor profiles. Fried chicken taco has mc n cheese, putting it out there. The place tends to be quite loud between sports and the hobbit hole DJ (my description because there is always a DJ in this little nook in the corner. The servers are always super nice! But honestly...tots, kittens! Tots! read more

Excellent excellent service. We were here for the Cubs World Series game 4. Got here at 10am and got a booth for 7 of us, and our waitress was constantly checking in until we left at 10pm. And after 12 hours of drinking and eating, still ended up with a very reasonable bill. Also major props for no cover charge during the cubs playoffs! read more

I absolutely love this place. Epitome of friendly midwestern service. Amazing people, great service, life changing drinks. Love. This. Bar.

Friendly staff with great service! This place is only a couple of blocks from Wrigley Field so we came here for drinks before the game. I got a simple cocktail and a beer both of which were reasonably priced. Drinks were quiet expensive at the game so we came back here and hung out in the patio area for a couple more drinks after the Cubs win! This place also has decent bar food and is my go to spot when I am in town. read more
