Finley Dunne's Tavern

I've been going to Finleys for more than ten years at this point, so I guess I should finally get around to leaving a review. I feel like this is one of the only places in the neighborhood where you can go out and experience a fun atmosphere, solid food, reliable service... and not spend a small fortune. Things I really like about Finley Dunnes Tavern: 1. 2.50 PBR drafts 2. The Ryan Burger, Guinness Brat, Wings, seasoned fries, and to a slightly lesser extent the tavern style pizzas, the Chicago Dog, and the BLT 3. They play the sound for whatever the primary sporting event is that night 4. Golden tee and darts 5. Great folks behind the bar serving up food and drinks who take care of you even when the place is packed 6. Oh Yeah Bombs 7. The combination of St Patty's Day, March Madness, and their seasonal corned beef sandwiches I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but TLDR: this is my favorite spot to hang out with friends and/or watch sports in the city of Chicago. Parking: Lots of free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood

Was referred to this bar for Illini games from the board room podcast. Solid chill spot for games with a fun atmosphere and good food. Good location and not to overwhelming compared to some of the other Illini bars in town.
