This is a neighborhood fave. Diverse menu with flavorful, well-executed items (ceviche is a fave), the servers are always friendly and efficient, and - most importantly - the patio is dog-friendly.
I really like this local bar & restaurant. Food,atmosphere and service are excellent. Friendly smiling and happy staff ready to serve you. Owen is the owner, works everyday. It's always better when the owner is on site. Generous pours and lots of daily drink and food specials. Check out the out door patio. I have never been disappointed. Baja Shrimp tacos are tasty!
Cheers !
Everyone loved the place. I had a burger, others had wraps. Very good food. Nice beer selection, and very friendly, efficient service. I highly recommend.
My favorite local place to hang out, watch Chicago sports teams, enjoy a meal. The staff is friendly, food is yummy, you can usually find at least one owner hanging out at the bar. What's not to love?
Great bar, great staff and best burger in town.
Can’t wait for the new fireplace �
Great neighborhood place!! Eoghan and crew are the best. Love their brunch menu.
Our first time here and have to say the food was excellent. A great beer list as well. And the service was great as well she walked us thru the menu and made some great recommendations. My only complaint is it was a little on the warm side but otherwise everything was great we will definitely be back.
One of my fave pubs in the neighborhood.
Very good fish & chips
Great service and they know how to pour a pint!
The food was excellent and the beer selection is pretty extensive. Service we good but food took a little too long. I liked it and I look forward to coming back.
Gideon Welles is an outstanding neighborhood place, in the true spirit of a Tavern. Not just a drink factory. Beautiful location facing the North side of Welles Park with outside seating and the menu is upscale pub with lots of outside the box options.
Great food, beer list, and atmosphere. My wife and I have been a couple of times and are always impressed.
Great beer and liquor selection. Service is outstanding. I would definitely recommend!
Friendly service, great food, fun and comfortable atmosphere! A neighborhood favorite!
Spicy margaritas were great! Fried goat cheese so good!! Steak was okay..Super fun atmosphere!!
Excellent chill spot with great beer selection! Server was super nice and energetic!! Food was outstanding!! Will be back soon!
Delightful modern pub with Irish tradition but a new age feel. The breading for their fried foods is exceptional. Not a lot of seating inside so tables and bar space fill up. Add a nip to your draft for $4. Good selection of tasty beers. French onion soup was good and was loaded with onion. Buffalo vegetables were also good but too much food for just two of us. The fried mushrooms were the best part. Great recommendations from the staff. Highly recommend
Nice, quaint Pub Style establishment in Old Town. Food was average.
Grilled chicken slightly overcooked.
Friend had a steak that was a little tough.
Service was excellent.
Nice friendly atmosphere.
Lots of room to move around.
Plenty of big screen TV with sporting events.
Guinness on tap.
I've been to this pub twice. I first went to this place in January, coinciding with the end of the holiday season. I returned there after work Friday afternoon as well. They also have big screen, HDTVs throughout the bar and they had baseball & The Masters when I was there. Had a delicious, mouth-watering Glastonbury Burger with bourbon BBQ sauce, an onion ring on top and fresh cut fries. It was really good...And I was hungry on top of it. They have really good food such as hand made chips & cheeseburger sliders that also hit the spot. Best of all, it's within walking distance of where my office relocated in December. I'll definitely be back again.
Been going to Gideon Welles since they opened. We go with my kids after baseball at Welles Park or go with friends to watch a game. Fun for city families while hanging out afternoons in the Square. We always have friendly staff and great regular bartenders. Usually an upbeat crowd, sometimes a bit raucous (good) and lots of neighbors pass through. Large outdoor patio too. I've had many different food items but often get the Buffalo wings... nothing fancy, classic recipe just quality and always on point.
We were going to sit inside but it was way too noisy! Entrees were delicious! Pulled pork sandwich is pictured! Service was spot on with the food runner! Met Ralph! He is an incredible professional gentleman!
Great local pub to have a beer and visit with friends. There was plenty of places to sit and the staff were very friendly. We ordered their warm goat cheese spread as well as some of their awesome spicy chicken wings. They had a huge selection of beers on tap, as well as a great menu of specialty drinks and other foods. Five stars.
We sat outdoors on a Friday evening (good choice as it was crowed inside). Food was great, and beer selections are some of the most interesting - on tap!!!
I had the fish and chips. Tasted great. I would have liked a longer fish and mushy peas as the brits do (instead of whole peas), but understand its a German style joint.
Service was good and attentive.
The atmosphere is very nice and refreshing! I loved the Baja grilled shrimp tacos!
Went for a cocktail while waiting for a reservation elsewhere. Friendly staff and good drinks. Person next to me had the wings and they looked delicious!
Great food and the patio was very nice. Dog friendly and the staff even brought out a bowl of water for our pup. They have a nice beer selection and I enjoyed their chicken sandwich. This Shepard's pie is the best looking Shepard's pie I've had in a long time. Tasted great too
Worked with GW staff to host a party. They could not have been easier to work with, or have done a better job.
Simple, straightforward.
100% would recommend, and will probably do it again next year for christmas.
Cozy neighborhood pub, has a good draft list and menu of burgers, salads, sandwiches. The prices are very reasonable you can get some of the sandwich and fries for $10-11. The Reuben I had was excellent and the Mac n cheese w short rib is outstanding as well.
Bar opens up to more seating on the other side. Touch tunes here and plenty of tvs if trying to catch a game.
Nice average neighborhood bar. Home made potato crisps with blue cheese are yum.
Average bar/restaurant.
Great local pub with large beer selection. Went on a Thursday evening and sat outdoors. I ordered the Kellers Sandwich which was great. The Jameson Black Barrel and Ginger Ale was very tasty.
Incredible comfort food. Continuity with Team Members. They offer a reduced shot with a beer. Outdoor and indoor seating. Open area in the back for families. Well done!
A great pub for any occasion. Warm welcome, great staff, great food. A Lovely outdoor space AS WELL..
One of the best steaks I've ever had, yummy salad, great atmosphere, cute neighborhood, quality service. Indoor and outdoor seating.
