Great Guinness and wonderful food. The session on Thursday nights is great. Always a great time

This place is such a gem and such a needed addition to the Avondale neighborhood! They just opened up in November. The quality of their food is outstanding!! They outsource their bread but aside from that everything is made in house or brought in from local farms! I called right after their kitchen closed and asked if they could make a pizza and they kept their kitchen open just to make it for me. That was super sweet and everyone there was so happy, so kind and so helpful. Their pizza is SO GOOD. Their crust is chewy and crispy and the flavor it delicious. Awesome amount of cheese and pepperoni. Not your standard boring bar pizza. I envision this space becoming a staple and being around for a long time. read more

Decent drinks, average bar food. Would recommend for neighborhood spot but wouldn't go out of your way

Our neighborhood spot. Full Irish brekkie any time? You got it. Pizza? Hell yeah. The grilled cheese? I would climb a mountain for it. Drinks? Throw away your aunts espresso martini and try the Counselor. Far superior. Bartenders are personable and the live Irish music every Tuesday night is not to be missed. read more

I took my mom here for Mother's Day high tea, and it was so lovely! The owners couldn't be nicer and the food was incredible- everything made in house! I look forward to coming back and ordering off the regular menu. Thank you for making the day so special! read more

Very funny atmosphere, great food and great service. The owner was particularly attentive. Thank you, Brendan. I brought a party of eight in on Saturday and we all had a very nice time would definitely recommend and will definitely go back read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place. My mom and I came for dinner. We are Irish and all my uncles are Chicago Fireman, so obviously we wanted to love this place. They highly recommended this place. We are all frequent advocates of Irish bars in the local neighborhood. Here's how it went down....Our server, Drew, was really nice but literally had no idea what was going on. We ordered an app-he forgot to put it in. Had to ask about it twice. We wanted a meal-he didn't come back to ask how our app was or ask what we wanted for a main course. He literally just ignored us. When he finally came back to get our order-30 minutes later we were starving. You would think it can only go up from here right? WRONG. We are literally still sitting here as I write this. After over an hour we asked where our meal was. Me and my mom are splitting a meal that would Max take 30 minutes to make. Our server comes back over we ask-get just checking when the food will be up. He goes to ask the kitchen and turns out he forgot to put it in. Then thinks everything's all good because he will comp our meal. I don't understand forgetting about a whole table enough to not put in any meal item they ordered. Isn't that your job? Wow. Honestly so disappointed. There is also a fruit fly issue. Saw the great reviews. The owner did come over apologized and (after we finally got our food) the food was decent. Because the nice owner came over-I added 2 stars. I must also mention that the music choices are beyond amazing here. Absolute banger of a playlist. read more

Best neighborhood spot. Great food and drink selection with friendly staff. The Brussel sprout leaves are a close tie with the cheese curds for apps. Can't go wrong with their pizzas either! read more

Great pints and food! Staff is very friendly and helpful finding a place to sit when busy.

Im actually sitting here right now and just finished an awesome smash burger! Fries were on point as well! It will be a regular stop for me! Staff was friendly and made sure my glass was always full! read more

The food was good, the service was not. It took 25 minutes for the bartender/waiter to take our order and then a 30 minute wait for our breakfast to arrive. Only 9 other customers in the restaurant. Either understaffed or under managed. I like to support small businesses, but I won't be back. I'm giving 4 stars because the food was good and I want to see them survive. read more

Awesome neighborhood restaurant with solid beer menu and amazing craft cocktails! Super cozy atmosphere, with a fireplace and gorgeous lighting. Friendly and helpful staff serving up delicious food and drinks - so far I've loved the pizza, smash burger, and chicken sandwich. can't wait to try more! Wolfhound is a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Wonderful food reasonable prices. In the city but found on street parking 1 block away on a Friday night. Jumping joint.

Nice addition to the Avondale bar scene. I've been here twice in the past few months: each time the staff has been great, and the food has been solid! The only knock I have so far has been wait times on the food. It's taken extremely long for certain meals (like the fish & chips on a Friday), but the waitress we had was very accommodating and gave us a round of drinks. Will definitely be back based on the service and quality of food. read more

Good food, good booze, good people. Can't get much better than that for a new local watering hole!

The Wolfhound is quickly becoming one of my favorite bar / restaurants in Chicago. I've gone there for brunch with the family, Happy Hour, and nights out, and it always delivers. The Full Irish breakfast is my favorite I've had in Chicago, and they pour a great pint of Guinness. Brendan (the owner) and staff are so friendly and genuinely interested in making sure you have a good experience. read more

The burger and fries were both really good! Also, enjoyed the selection of beer and cocktails. Great spot to grab a few drinks with friends! read more

See all

Very friendly staff, good selection in the bar, and great food! Will definitely be back

I got there when the restaurant was transferring to lunch, so it was closed, but luckily the person serving us was a great dude and funny!

What a great find! Super friendly from the minute we walked in. great selection of drinks and cocktails. the Brussel sprout appetizer was absolutely out of this world - lemon flavor added such a great taste. we had a salad, ai just sandwich and steak sandwich - all were delicious. Fries were crispy goodness. The young owner, Brendan, came over and chatted for a bit - very personable and committed to creating a positive experience. Will definitely be back, they do Irish music "sessions" on Tuesday night - good reason to return. read more

Newly opened bar and kitchen. Great food and even better atmosphere! Bar tender is legit!

We came into this awesome little spot for dinner and thrilled we did. The service is terrific. The guys running the place are super efficient and attentive. Inside is warm and cozy - fabulous winter restaurant. Here's the best part: Their grilled cheese is what dreams are made of. It comes with a side of tomato sauce and the sandwich is not too big and if you're a fan of melted somewhat crispy cheese that oozes out the side of a sandwich this spot is epic. read more

Second time coming and didn't have a great experience. We had a group of 4 and service was slow from the start which we understood since most places are understaffed. When we ordered our main course we got a burger, chicken sandwich, and 2 people were going to split the pizza. Again, the food took a bit to come out and when it did it was just the sandwiches. We were told the pizza would be a minute or two longer so we told the others at our table to eat so their food didn't get cold. About 10 minutes later the waitress came back to let us know they ran out of dough, again wouldn't be an issue but just letting us know ~30min after ordering while half our party is eating isn't a great experience. read more

Maybe we hit an off night for this place. Ordered take out door appetizers. The cheese curds didn't even have cheese in them and the artichoke dip was served with stale tortilla chips. Staff not friendly. After reading other reviews maybe we ordered the wrong items or again it was a "off night" for this bar. Would not go back. read more

All around wonderful experience. Everything was very tasty from the drinks to the main course. Run there don't walk there. Can't wait to go back for the Irish music. read more

Fantastic food and drinks at this neighborhood spot! Everything we had was outstanding. We started with spinach and artichoke dip and chicken tenders which were amazing. Then we shared a pizza and burger ( way too much food but worth it!). Our friends had grilled cheese and said it was the best they had ever had. Drinks are just as tasty and Drew, the bartender, is exceptional. I wish all bar food was this good!! read more

Food exceeded all of our expectations. We had the griddle burger, full Irish, and chicken sandwich and every item was absolutely fantastic. It all seemed to be fully made in house and tastes incredibly fresh. The staff was also very friendly. Would absolutely come back again. read more

Everyone here was so friendly. The Wolfhound Bar is great neighborhood place! You are going to love it!

I am and Andersonville native for some time now. I did enjoy the service, but I liked and loved the restaurant/bar that occupied that location before. I believe the building owners have changed thus pushing the previous tenants out. I'm sad to see the area GENTRIFEY or change character. The drinks are very similar to the business that occupied there prior. I support small business, but I will not be supporting an appalling oppressive landlord that copied the previous businesses ideas. All in all; beautiful place, nice service, but you'll have rowdy city workers there who disturb the ambiance. Also there are a good amount of underage drinkers because of lack of ID checks. Despite all that; AWSOME PLACE. read more
