With their eyes glued to sports, thirsty neighborhood types chill upstairs at this three-level space, where non-descript details--black and white-checked tables, oversized leather booths and a long, marble-topped bar--feel low-key. The small main level affords street-side views, while downstairs the vibe is lounge-y with low-slung benches, a mock fireplace and separate bar. Mostly, burgers and pizza populate the menu, but arugula and goat cheese salad, a filet with cabernet reduction and mac and cheese with truffle oil tempt more ambitious palates. Irish classics like fish and chips and…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
In addition to a solid selection of brews, there's a list of hot specialty cocktails like "The Gangster," a clove-infused hot toddy.
Save Money:
Nurse your hangover without going broke during weekend brunch, when $22 gets you a soup or salad, an entree like eggs Benedict with Irish bacon and unlimited mimosas and bloody marys.
Where to Sit:
The downstairs lounge has a distinctly more low-key vibe than the rest of the bar, but it's typically only open on weekends.

  1. have been taking salsa classes and this is a great place to go and test your skills.
  2. which was a complete surprise to me, because it doesn't strike you as the type of place that could sustain a good salsa following.

One of a kind!

by myfoodinchicago at Citysearch

Hi am not much of a sports fun so unwinding in a sports bar after work is not something I really thought I'd enjoy. But going to Cagney's made me think otherwise. This place is definitely awesome! The place is SOOO big, there's enough space for everyone. No crowded tables or bumping elbows here, only comfortable suede couches and inviting bar. Lots of wide tv screens too. Even if you're not an avid sports fan, you'll find yourself cheering and booing along with the crowd. The drinks are great, too! Their mixes all have twists and not something you can just find in any typical sports pub. This redefines the image of sports bar being dominated by just the male population. Women can also have a good time at this place.

  • Pros: something new, space, ambiance, drinks
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Perfect place to party!

by Jennyd at Citysearch

Went there with a bunch of friends and we had a great time. Just took the brown line and walked a couple of blocks. Tons of TVs and the drink specials were amazing. Different then any other place in the area. CHECK IT OUT!

  • Pros: Great drink specials, lots of open space
  • Cons: bathrooms are downstairs

Cagney's breaks the mold in LP

by HBoo at Citysearch

I went for salsa night last Wednesday night...which was a complete surprise to me, because it doesn't strike you as the type of place that could sustain a good salsa following...but the vibe was great, I danced all night and stayed hydrated with their $4 mojitos! Yesss....

  • Pros: Doesn't fall into the cheesy bar category of most LP bars
  • Cons: It's a destination bar, nothing like it around

Great Place to watch sports

by fuzzfuzz at Citysearch

Caught the UFC pay per view fight there on Saturday. Over 30 HD TV's made it easy to watch, beer specials were great! Didn't try the food but the menu looked good.

  • Pros: Drink specials
