My first time in the place and the regulars are all on a first name basis. The folks here are great and fun to be around. It definitely has a family reunion atmosphere which gives it a special feel good experience.

Great thin crust sausage/pepperoni pizza! Jalapeno poppers were also tasty and piping hot! Cozy bar to watch the Northwestern football game on a chill Saturday afternoon.

I’m not going to lie I’m really bummed to have heard that Pat has forced to close down weather temporarily or whatever. I want to thank him and the family of employees as well as everyone who patronized this establishment. I met so many great people who later became friends. Thank you for the memories and giving me a “home” or an opportunity to meet new friends and experience new stadiums.

The people here are so friendly.
My friend and I visited this past Sunday and the bartender shared some Doughnuts with us. Super pleasant guy.
Drinks were tasty and food was amazing. Will definitely come back soon!

Love this pub! Have been here several times. The service is great and friendly. The food is really good. They have a decent beer selection. Bathroom is always very clean. They have a few TVs there and are always playing whatever game is on. Has a great outdoor area/patio. They even put up a tent during the winter with heat lamps. If you’re looking for a place to grab a drink and relax then this is a great place.

For those not up on their Chicago bar slang, a “Big McGaffer” is the guy (sorry ladies) who knows a guy, the “boss” you go to for clout, favors, jobs, etc. But when your run-of-the-mill public servant comments, “Oh yeah, he’s a Big McGaffer?” they ain’t paying no one no compliment. But not to worry, this McGaffer’s is a friendly establishment that offers a much needed oasis amid the surrounding box stores and shopping plazas along the car-choked Roosevelt Road.

The outside looks unordinary but once inside youll see a quaint little pub with lots of charm. I’m always in search of the perfect Guinness and this spot almost had it. They almost poured Guinness the correct way but they tend to rush it and over filled and spilled. It was also fairly pricey for a pint of Guinness. Give it a shot if you’re in the area.

It’s like a Cheers bar. Friendly neighborhood bar . Love this place. Drinks and food are reasonable and you always feel welcome. It’s our “go to place” when we can’t decide. Isn’t often you can find a place where you feel comfortable regardless of your age. The owner Pat is a true gentleman. Sponsored my team when I was 20, treats me and my husband like family at 60+.
