Owner

Perched on the cornerstone of University Village's bar scene, Morgan's is the essential location to enjoy sports-action, drinks & amazing food all under one roof. The game is clearly visible from any seat & you can feast on a menu that offers traditional bar fare with items like amazing appetizers, fresh burgers & specialty sandwiches, thin-crust pizzas, pasta, ribs & more. The interior is a vast, open space filled w/ high tables along the windows, anchored by the massive bar that circles the center of the room. Seating for big groups is a cinch.

In Short – Located at the former heart of the city's vanished Maxwell Street market, this spacious bar offers something for most, with two dozen beers on tap, including choice imports like Paulaner, Trumer and Grolsch, and an extensive food menu. UIC college students and locals mix it up at the long ranks of four top tables and standing drink rails radiating from the large 36-stool bar. Sports and top twenty music videos alternate on omnipresent tv monitors.

Awful service

by kymmgreen

The waitresses are slow and inattentive. Food is mediocre. Staff is only a reflection of management. Management is belligerent and hostile.

waitress FINALLY came to receive cash payment for services. Had to LITERALLY track her down for change. her response "Oh, you wanted that back?? Bill was 35.20 & all u gave me was 2 twenties--that's not even 15%. H ow much do you want back??"

manager defended her position--stated "she is best waitress we have??" Did not address the inappropriateness of her attitude-or FACT that she was going to keep a patrons change. Then stated that if we had a problem with his staff or "how" they operated we should take our business elsewhere. If that is type of hostility and service you desire--this is the place for you. SAD---location and neighborhood offers so many other possibilities than this appalling behavior.

  • Pros: Its in Chicago
  • Cons: staff, management, service

Great Place for Sports Fans

by luckshea

i've been going to Morgan's for years. it's been great to always know that you can drink on the cheap every night. there's always a special going on for both food and drinks. however, my main reason is for the screens. i love watching the games their because it's easy to get a table in clear view of the action. there are screens literally everywhere & the fact they run HD on their flat panels is a definite plus side. i know bars out there often don't invest on a true hd signal. During the NFL season, this was preferred destination. with the NBA season & March madness going on, you'll be sure to find me here.

  • Pros: Tons of Flat Panels, Drinks Specials
