Duffy's Tavern

Not sure what was worse - the service or the food

by MrsC2009 at Citysearch

The worst bar/restaurant in Chicago! The service was beyond slow. Our waitress was too busy talking to her friends to take our order, bring silverware, ask if we needed any drink refills. When we did ask for refills she told us there was no free refills and did we still want a refill. We asked if there was a charge for water refills to which she had major attitude. After waiting for an hour, our food finally arrived but then we had to flag down another waitress to get silverware. Our food was horrendous! Everything was cold and tasted like it had been cooked the day before. The biscuits and gravy was like biting into rocks. Eggs were cold and rubbery. The only time I've refused to pay at a restaurant. It was the most horrible experience ever! And when we talked to the manager/owner, he seemed to care as much as the waitress. We didn't expect him to jump when we snapped but most owners/managers would be embarrassed and horrified that customers would have such a poor experience and the waitress was so unconcerned with her customers. I will NEVER go back - not even for a beer!

Homer Simpson would drink here

by CaptainPlanet at Citysearch

I like these guys a lot - they like sports and beer and that's what I like. I like pounding back a few cold ones and watching the game. These guys are always crackin jokes and stuff. Good place to get $h!T faced at.

• Pros: Its almost the same name as Duff's beer
• Cons: But it's not the same...

NOT A CUBS BAR!!! DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE A CUBS FAN

by kdkath at Citysearch

The cubs were playing out in San Francisco so the game came on at 9pm, I politely asked the bartender to put the cubs game on one of the TV's. Every other TV in the bar had the Sox game on, Tampa Bay and Cleveland. He said I had to talk to the Manager. HE was very RUDE and said he would put it on when the SOX game was over, he also said "this is a Michigan bar". I am not sure what that has to do with the SOX? Absolutley ridiculous to have a north side SPORTS bar not show the CUBS on ONE TV. I am telling everyone I know not to go there.

• Cons: NOT A CUBS BAR

Best place to watch UofM football in Chicago

by KTberg at Citysearch

They use the slogan of Chicago's bighouse and it really is crazy on game days. If you don't show up several hours early, you shouldn't plan on getting a seat. During the game itself, you have the Michigan fight song, people cheering, a wolverine mascot and lots of suck-n-blow jello shots.

The breakfast food is greasy, but delicious (I love the chorizo). There is plenty of beer, although quantity is usually more valued over quality. The people are friendly and fun.
