“ Solid sports bar with an Irish twist, they've got darts, skeeball, and a few other games. Food is surprisingly good and the drink menu is solid. Layout wise it feels like they've got two bars with the center wall cut out. Makes for a lot of space and great throughput on drink service. Well worth your time if you're looking for a sports pub. ”
“ Great sports bar with tasty drinks and even better service. Really appreciate Sarah being so friendly, hospitable and prompt! ”
“ Easily my favorite sports bar in Chicago and it’s not even close. I’ve been coming here for years since moving to Bucktown, you can almost always get a spot but as it’s gotten more popular I recommend calling ahead to reserve a table if it’s a big sports day like march Madness or NFL playoffs. The staff are great and really friendly, they also pour a good Guinness. Don’t sleep on this place as a top burger spot in Chicago! I have yet to have a bad Gracie O burger when coming here, always comes out fresh and perfectly cooked. Probably in my top 10 for Chicago burgers. ”
“ We come here often & every time has been 10/10. No matter who our server is, they are always so attentive & friendly. The food is so good. We love the Gracie O Burger. They brought out water for my dog too. ”
“ We go here almost weekly. The food and service is great. The whole serving team takes care of you. In a year of going here we only had one weird serving experience. Atmosphere is good too but be aware that it can be a little loud during big sporting events, NFL DRAFT, playoffs etc. Loudness aside this place is really the perfect bar experience. ”

“ Okay Wicker Park listen up!!! Taco Tuesday at Gracie O'Malley's is unbeatable! At just 1 per taco, they are incredibly delicious and definitely worth it. It's a fantastic spot for sports fans, with multiple TVs perfect for game day. Plus, they have darts too! Highly recommend! Tasty food, great selection of drinks, friendly staff, clean establishment, and good energy! 10/10!! ”
“ Gracie's has been one of my favorite Chicago bars for years! I am obsessed with the Gracie-O Burger and their cheese curds, but everything I have tried from their menu has been fantastic!! The staff is always extremely friendly and attentive, even on their busiest days with big sporting events on. Special shoutout to their GM KJ who always comes up with super creative and fun events like Taylor Swifts Birthday, Gingerbread house contests, and Soup Competitions!! I do recommend making reservations for big games because they tend to fill up fast. ”
