Mcgaffer's Saloon - Forest Park

Great experience! I visited this place after a White Sox game and caught the USA soccer match while I was there. The drinks were excellent, and the bartender was really friendly. Highly recommend!

Excellent selection of foods and drinks, including an old-school bar with a contemporary lime twist and no additional additives. Also, you can socialize with your neighbors while watching sports.

For those not up on their Chicago bar slang, a Big McGaffer is the guy (sorry ladies) who knows a guy, the boss you go to for clout, favors, jobs, etc. But when your run-of-the-mill public servant comments, Oh yeah, he 's a Big McGaffer? they ain 't paying no one no compliment. But not to worry, this McGaffer 's is a friendly establishment that offers a much needed oasis amid the surrounding box stores and shopping plazas along the car-choked Roosevelt Road.

Every time we go in there the staff is amazing! Nice beer garden.

I really enjoy this pub! I've visited several times, and I've always had a great experience. The service is friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious. They also offer a solid selection of beers. The restrooms are consistently clean, which is a plus. There are a few TVs that show whatever game is on, making it a fun spot for sports enthusiasts. The outdoor area is fantastic, and they even put up a heated tent in the winter. If you're looking for a nice place to unwind with a drink, this is definitely the spot for you.
