Gracie O' Malley's- Wicker Park - Chicago, Illinois

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.

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!!

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.

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.

I was at the bar when the reported incident of the reviewer “Jess P” occurred. The staff and management completely handled the situation as appropriately as they could have, I would even say it was exceptional. After the patron was punched in the face and it was reported to the staff, immediately the staff ensured the conflicting parties were separated and the woman punched received first aid. Every staff member involved at that immediate moment encouraged the victim to call 911 so that a formal report could be filed and the offender’s information could be documented. The victim declined to contact the police. At this point the offender was being escorted out and made to leave the establishment. The management requested the offenders information to obtain for the victim in case they wanted to report it later but given that the management has no legal right to demand the information as they are not the police, the offender denied providing them her information and left the establishment. The management then did everything within their abilities to make the situation better for the victim. They offered the victim drinks, shots, and gift cards to the establishment as well. The cameras where the incident occurred are currently under repair by the establishment’s security company, which is admittedly inconvenient, but a reality that can 100% be proven. I understand the frustration of the victim and how overwhelming a situation like that can be, but other than actually contacting the police at the time of the incident, what they are now criticizing as the response of the staff was the most the staff could do within their power as they are not the police. The offender did in fact get aggressive with the staff when they went out of their way to request her information on behalf of the victim, and any sensible manager will not put their employees at risk of violence. I hope the victim/patron is well, but the bad reviews and slander of this establishment and the staff is unwarranted.

Always have a great time at Gracie O’s, phenomenal place to watch a game with shockingly great food. A+ wings and burger, great TV layout for whatever you’re watching, great staff, fun atmosphere, amazing beer selection (and they know how to pour a Guinness)! Also they throw the music videos on the TV which is always a vibe. Highly recommend!

Everything is always great. The staff is super attentive and friendly, bartenders are great, and the food is consistently tasty! Highly recommend all the Gracie O'Malley's locations! If you're a sports fan, and near Wicker Park DO NOT MISS OUT on game days here!

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.
