The Fifty/50

Hands down this is the best neighborhood spot in Wicker! Bartenders, staff, and managers are the most friendly people. Wings, curds, and quesadillas are some of the favorites. Can’t forget the fireball too! 11 out of 10 would recommend. Wish I could give it 6 stars

I had the smoked wings which I wouldn’t recommend. And I also think the wings are slightly overpriced. I do recommend the fried Mac and cheese bites though. I may come back and try the traditional wings next and may edit my review at that point but as of now, i think there are better wing spots in Chicago. Staff was excellent and service was great!

Wings were just awful, dry, no flavor, no crisp, sauces weren’t great and way too over priced for what you’re paying for.

My husband is a transplanted Michigander! My daughter just moved to Wicker Park. We were looking for a place to stop to watch the game and we found this great place. The game was on. There was tons of Michigan fans and it was perfect. The food was great. We suggest the nachos with chicken. It was very clean lots of room three floors. We also had a bucket of beer and my daughter got to enjoy a great dessert. excellent establishment and even better Michigan clean the title!!!

Great place for watching sports

Terrible

Alright, so I'm not exactly what you'd call a sports bar aficionado, but all my buddies are crazy about The Fifty/50. One night, feeling a bit adventurous (thanks to some green inspiration), I decided to tag along. And let me tell you, it's not your typical sports bar vibe – more like a laid-back, updated neighborhood hangout. We strolled in on a quiet night, got seated right away, and then, jackpot – they were doing bottomless wings. Now, usually, the word "bottomless" raises an eyebrow, but these wings? Absolute game-changers. No kidding. And the waffle fries? I'm convinced they're sprinkled with some kind of magical seasoning and fried in oil from another dimension. Seriously, I'm not easily impressed by fries, but these were next level. But, and there's always a but, the service was on the slower side. And I mean, it wasn't busy – I'll say it again, NOT busy. Our server acted like taking our orders was the most tedious task on the planet. Chicago service, it's like playing the lottery – this time, we didn't win. Now, let's get back to the good stuff. The Fifty/50 is the kind of neighborhood bar you want in your life. The food? Explosively good. Those wings and waffle fries might just be worth dealing with a server who's moving at a glacial pace. Casual vibes all around, making it the perfect spot to kick back, enjoy some top-notch bar cuisine, and, if you're lucky, catch a game on the side. So, in a nutshell, if you're down for a chill atmosphere, stellar wings, and waffle fries that'll make your taste buds dance, The Fifty/50 is your spot. Just be prepared for the possibility of service that's a bit more tortoise than hare.
