O’Donnell’s

Fun neighborhood bar that gets the job done. Lots of tv’s and fun people. During the summer they roast a pig which is always fun. Plenty of activities going on. Well worth the trip.

Huge dive bar with little ambiance not even old time dive feel, more like place that has had some work on like the front windows and stopped there to. Mediocre beer selection. If all you want a bar stool drink big brand beer and hang with old timer locals than you at the right place

This pub is straight out the SNL «da bears» skit! Friendly folks willing to lend ya their words if your ears are open!

When I first walked in I wondered if we walked into an American Legion by accident as there were 7 middle aged + men sitting scattered around the horseshoe bar but no worries it’s just a great local bar!
The pros: the beer is cheap, the bartender is friendly and there’s a jukebox and golden tee in the corner.
The cons: it’s open air so sitting at the bar you get a little sweaty. Makes me think I’m back in Mexico but without the umbrellas in my drink.
I read a review that there were no stalls in the women’s bathroom but be reassured that there are stalls so you can now pee in privacy!

If you want to enjoy a nice neighborhood bar then I would suggest this place.
They always have great bar specials, and the customers are always so friendly.
I few if us went there on the weekend and had a blast. Had some bucket os beers, pizza and played bags in the back of the place outside.
YEA ODonnells !!!

A TRUE locals bar. There’s always a group of men here, ready to talk you in to the late night. They always know who’s new, and I’ve seen them all act a bit shady towards some new dudes. But in general, nice hardworking guys hang out here.
The bartenders are fun and very kind. The food is unremarkable bar food, but it’s cheap. The jukebox is fun, and the women’s bathroom doesn’t have a door separating the toilet from the main entrance. It’s actually hilarious when you’re drunk.
Nice patio, too.

Went there for the Super Bowl and was pretty impressed. They have a back restaurant part that looked huge in addition to their big bar area. The beer prices was reasonable and the atmosphere great for a sports event. The only problem I had was the bathroom was in disarray and pretty nasty, but considering that 98 percent of the packed bar was male that could be expected.

The absolute perfect «real Chicago» bar as my boyfriend likes to refer to it. Family owned, predominantly blue collar clientele, cheap drinks, a menu with an array of fried foods, free popcorn on a good night, and a jukebox with almost any song you can imagine makes O’Donnell’s the neighborhood bar of choice for my boyfriend and me.

O’Donnell’s is home for every man.
If you think about everything you’d like in your neighborhood bar, and you happen to find yourself in O’Donnell’s — just take a step back and realize that you’re right where you need to be.
People may ask me why I live on the northwest side and my default answer would be, «Because the food is awesome and it’s one of the most diverse spots in the entire United States. Nope, nope nope, I’ve changed my mind — the northwest side also has some of the best neighborhood gems this side or any side of the City of Chicago.
I came in here on a Tuesday night to play my weekly dart league versus the opposing team sponsored by O’Donnell’s. Great players, hell I admit it — I lost, that’s how good they were. The bar also had the sponsored softball team coming in for their obligatory post-​game chill session. This bar was chock full of people (boys and girls) on a Tuesday night drinking $ 10 buckets of beer and $ 2 drafts of Bud (ie this place is CHEAP!)
Now when you think of cheap, you might think of a dive, heck — you might even think of someplace dangerous! Not at O’Donnell’s, it is full of northwest siders loading up B96 and 90’s rock on the jukebox and the bar is just plain nice and is newly renovated.
But…let’s say you do have to take a step outside. What would you find outside? You’d find not one, not two, but three backyards with no fences because the bar owns the properties right next to it! There are two patio tables with a giant canopy tent for rain, cornhole to play, a BBQ grill, and enough space to play two full teams of volleyball. This place is massive!!!
You don’t play sports? Fine! Come on in and enjoy their flatscreen TVs all over the place. Seriously, I think I have found a new favorite bar and my head is spinning thinking about the next time I’m going to have to stop on by again. The food menu is less than some people would like but you got your staples — burger, chicken sandwich, Italian beef, beef combo and I don’t care what else they’ve got because the burger and chicken will hit the spot.
If you don’t like O’Donnell’s you probably don’t belong on the northwest side and are definitely not from these neck of the woods. And if you don’t like it I will buy you a beer, that’s how we roll.
Do yourself a favor and check it out — peace out, SON!
