What People Are Saying About John Barleycorn Lincoln Park
Featured Review
Contributor

Everyone from DePaul students to graying grownups come for the casual brunch, lunch or dinner in two spacious dining rooms, both decorated with scores of model frigates, galleons and schooners left behind by a Belgian owner from the '60s. Entertaining family? Consider it safe to bring parents for a casual drink or meal--at least until 10pm on weekends. That's when hordes of students and young professionals line up around the block waiting to get in, banging elbows once inside and in the beer garden.
Editor's Tips
- Who's There:
- Mostly DePaul students and recent grads, especially on weekends.
- What to Wear:
- There's an overwhelming amount of J. Crew flannels here; baseball caps are not only allowed, but suggested.

Great Sports Bar
by davidjohnson at Citysearch
This is a great sports bar. Definitely an Iowa bar. My son goes to the University of Iowa so I've come to this bar a few times with him to watch the game. The food isn't bad, a little better than regular bar food and the drinks are good. This place is always a great time.
Good bar for a reunion

Back in town for a high school reunion. We got wrist bands, and open bar for three hours. It was a good atmosphere to see old pals and I had a great time. I had never been here before but I liked it. Food is suprisingly yummy. Check out the beergarden its cool.
- Pros: Good bar, good atmosphere, great beergarden
Good old fashion bar

I first started hanging out at Barleycorn in college. I usually goto the Wrigleyville location, but they are all good. Lots of fun people here, cool music and they love sports! This is a good bar.
- Pros: lots of fun people
- Cons: kinda crowded
Fun Bar

This is a fun bar to have a party. They have god drink specials for big groups of people, plus you can rent out the upstairs if you have a large enough group.
Not a fan of this bar at all
by DrinksCoffee at Citysearch
I dont like John Barleycorn at all. This bar is a good example of what happens when frat boys run wild. They are always crowded, the music is terrible, the other customers are obnoxious and the drink prices are outrageous. I dont recommend you go here.
- Pros: They distract stupid people
- Cons: They exist
