Great atmosphere & food
by uradel at Citysearch
One of the downers of being in Minneapolis part of the time is not getting my Hackney burger fix when the mood strikes so this is my stomping ground when I get back home to Chicago. My most recent visit was last week (Lake St.) and I'm afraid I am very predictable when it comes to this place. I want my burger on rye with swiss and a full onion loaf. Period. I started calling it "Hackney burger with ratcheese" when I was a small child in the 50's. They're still serving me my ratcheese burger just the way I like. It is my ultimate creature comfort place. I don't even care what the wine menu looks like, but FYI they do have a decent selection of wine and brew. Three generations of my family have been enjoying it here. Outstanding service, rich dark woods, clubby feel, & tucked away in the woods. It's fabulous!!
- Pros: Beautiful dining rooms, atmosphere galore. Private Dublin club feeling.
- Cons: none

Hurray for Hackney's!

No better place to be on a Sunday afternoon than lost in the Hackney's labyrinth of dining rooms and lounges, soaking up the Glenview vibe (along with the delectable onion loaf grease!). Drink? Of course you'll have another! And a correction, maybe a Saturday night at the basement bar with an Irish band and a packed house of family revelers sets a better scene for you. Hackney's on Lake is all about atmosphere, tradition, fried beef and onions, plenty of whiskey, talk and laughter and families. Not a bad combination at all.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Family friendly, Drink up!
- Cons: It's not fine dining, Who cares?
