The speakeasy downstairs is awesome! Worth checking out if you're there.
Outside of that, overall Green Door is a solid spot for a date or a spot to gather with friends!
I’ve been here a few times and so has several people I know and it’s quite a few people’s regular! The food and the drinks are pretty great, the staff is really nice (mostly lol), and service is decently fast. Would highly recommend the poutine and any of the burgers, we typically get the bootlegger, but probably can’t go wrong with anything!
You can't go wrong with a place with this kind of history alone. Plenty of antiques to look at, plenty of room, and a great variety of beer. If you're still bored, you can always spin the shot wheel.
I’m going to go ahead and throw this one up there with Aberdeen Tap as a great local spot that just doesn’t miss. With its throwback nostalgia and quirky interior this bar has more of a welcome pub feel than you’ll find most anywhere in River north. But don’t let that dissuade you from ordering more than beers cause the food is delicious too. And by food, I mean ALL of it. You can’t go wrong. If I lived closer this would be in the weekly rotation. Hell I might even go there 3-4x/week and for me to say that the place has to be special. Don’t forget the nightly shows in the speakeasy either!!! 👌🏼 10/10
I come here pretty much every week with some friends after work. The atmosphere is great and it’s a nice place to have a few beers with some friends. They have a decent number of options, and they make sure you’ve always got something. I haven’t actually had any food outside of some apps yet, so maybe that’ll change in the future but for now I’ve enjoyed my time at the Green Door Tavern.
I spent an evening there and met a very nice girl. that was 4 years ago I don't know where she has done in the last 4 years. but I know the day we spent and night together was unforgettable. I don't remember her name.
She was Not living at a stable place. I was in town for work. we might have dinner and drinks. I fell in love I wish I could find her.
Had a good time here with a group of coworkers. Beer was cold, food was fine, atmosphere is exactly what you want when you go to an Irish pub. Probably won't go back because it's not really my style, but if you're into Irish pubs, give this place a try.
Brilliant time staff & locals so friendly 10/10
Vibe place. Original. Quality food. Neat amenities. Loud. 4/5
Classic bar, loaded to the gills with ambiance. Solid G&T here, many beers to choose from as well.
🎯 Get the bartender to spin the wheel behind the bar if you’re undecided on a drink? Perhaps a devilled egg?
Something unique lies behind the bookcase downstairs 🤔
Not my usual stopping grounds but my friend invited me so I came. I had a patty melt and the turtle cheesecake, both good. I would feel overdressed in anything more than a jean jacket at this place, but for a downtown bar it's decent.
Delicious drinks and sobering food. The bartender was extremely sociable and made a great morning wakeup old-fashioned!
The space is packed with a ton of interesting items along every wall and even the ceiling. Great atmosphere, awesome drinks and good Tim’s were had by all!
Finally went here and had the time of my life. What a warm ambiance at chicagos oldest tavern. So much history. All their pub fare is delicious. Fries and poutine are awesome. Great place to celebrate birthday too! They have vegan options too!!
The Green Door Tavern is a true neighborhood gem with its warm and inviting wooden interiors adorned with nostalgic memorabilia. Whether you're braving Chicago's cold winters or enjoying its hot summer nights, the down-to-earth staff and cozy ambiance ensure a delightful experience.

No matter where you're from, this pub feels like a home away from home. Cheers to great times at The Green Door Tavern!
Went here for lunch on a Friday. Interior was nice, I like the side room with the wall of windows. Got the soup of the day (tomato bisque), the buffalo chicken fingers, and a beer. Everything was great! The chicken fingers were nicely cooked and moist on the inside, just a little crispy on the outside. Bisque was tasty. I'll definitely be back.
One of the best bars in the city. Upstairs, Sam and the service team are wonderful and always create an inviting atmosphere and the food is always great (favorites are chicken tenders & Italian beef poutine). Downstairs is like a whole different world in itself and definitely worth checking out!
Great bar and friendly staff. Big mention to John for making our visit very welcoming! If you are going to Chicago for the first time make sure you stop by this place! Definitley make The Greeen Door Tavern your holiday destination. If you are feeling thirsty you are spoilt for choice and hungry... well the Putini (correct spelling?) you have to try it as the house special... Not to be missed. 10 out of 10
Excellent food! This is the best bar food and the best brussel sprouts I've ever had.
The service was good and ambience was incredible. This is my new favorite bar in Chicago!
