Harry Caray's Tavern: User Reviews

A Great Addition To Wrigleyville

I'm there at least once a week and other than some minor glitches it has been a great addition to the area. Clean, good food, drink specials when the Cubs are away. They seem to have it together. And I didn't even mention that I have seen celebrities and Cubs players there a couple of times. I can't wait for football. There more TV''s than a Best Buy.

Lunch

Walked in on a Monday afternoon looking forward to a nice lunch.
They were out of iced tea (what???). There was plenty of Budweiser, but no iced tea.
The food was bland and overcooked. Service could have been a bit more professional.
Plenty of better places in the neighborhood, will not go back.

Great addition to the neighborhood!

I loved this place! By far the nicest bar in Wrigleyville. My girlfriends and I had such a blast when we went here on a Friday night. We came here to eat because I wanted to try their food, I love the downtown location, and it was so good. You don't find quality food like that in this area and our server was awesome and really friendly. We ended up staying because the deejay was really good and the crowd was cool so we danced all night! Will be back!

Thanks Harry Caray!

Thank you Harry Caray's for bringing a top restaurant to the neighborhood. The food is great quality, it's the best burger in Wrigleyville. I look forward to many more pre game meals here.

Late night fun!

I havent been here during a game yet, but I did check it out this Saturday night and had a blast! It's not just another bar to stumble into before or after a game, there's a large dance floor in the back that is great for late night, not like most of the places around here. The dance floor was packed and so fun, the non-stop music was perfect. My friends tell me it is alot of fun during the Cubs games, so I cant wait to come back then, it seems like the place to be...Not to mention the bartenders were easy on the eyes!

Great time even on non-game day!

This place is awesome! This totally redone place is incredible from top to bottom - totally high class!

I've been there four times alrrady and attest to the staff being georgeous, as well as very helpful and friendly. The TVs, including the 10+ ft big screen downstairs, are never-ending for watching sports and music videos. This is a great place to go to watch games with friends and out-of-town guests. The food is excellent - some similar to the HC Rest on Kinzie! And the place really hops after hours when the tables are cleared and the music is cranked up! Can't wait to go back!

Great New Addition!

A great, refreshing addition to some of the over-crowded and tacky places around wrigley. Great music and excellent array of flat screens for game watching!

Cold Food, Long Wait
By Princess1725 from Edgewater/Rogers Park, April 10, 2008

First, they really need to find a better seating system. It's very frustrating to be waiting on a table and have people jump ahead of you because of the "seat yourself" philosophy. When we finally got a table because they opened the upstairs there was only one waitress for the floor and service was sooooo slow. She concentrated on tables full of guys and ignored us, it took at least 20 minutes for us to get a drink. She kept giving me a diet coke even though I asked twice for a regular. Those at our table to had alcohol ran out 10 minutes before she even asked about refills. It took her 15 minutes to put in our order. The food was cold and I had to get up and get my own silverware. The tables were very small and the lighting was horrible. I don't think we'll go back. I really expected more from a Harry Caray's restaurant.

Loved it!!

I've been there a few times already and I absolutely love it! It's a beautiful bar and much needed in this neighborhood. I live in Wrigley and my friends and I are so excited to finally have a classy place to hang out. The crowd is great, the food is excellent, staff was very friendly and helpful, nothing like the bar food found in most of the places around here, and it is a very comfortable, fun setting. Definitely our new neighborhood hang out.
