If you get anything other than the fried chicken tacos to eat, you've done wrong. Graystone is one of my favorite bars in Chicago and with the addition of the fried chicken tacos to the menu, there's honestly no reason to go anywhere else.

My partner and I plus a friend came here after the 2024 Pride Fest as it was a short walk away from the event and we needed to 1) get away from all of the craziness and expensive covers at bars, and 2) we really needed to eat lunch. We came here hoping for some good food with some drinks and we really enjoyed our experience overall. The place got really packed over the course of our time here with more people who had the same idea as us. With that came slower service and our server forgot a few things and mixed up our drinks but she was really nice and it didn't affect our experience all too much. My friend ordered a burger and my partner and I split an appetizer. We got pretzel bites and 1/2 pound of jumbo fried shrimp and everything was actually so good! We were impressed. After a bunch of drinks and food, the bill was pretty up there in price as expected. My only two complaints was that the bouncer guy at the beginning was a little weird and didn't make us feel exactly welcomed when he sat us. Secondly, it took forever for us to pay to get out of the place because the bartender/servers were inundated with people. They also were vaping behind the counter and not showing enough urgency when they were so many people waiting to order drinks and also customers at tables waiting on food, service, etc. I figure coming back here on a less busy day would be the best idea. Can't imagine what it's like during Cubs games. Yikes

Staff is very friendly and food is very good. I always order a smash burger with curly fries. Don't have a pic but next time I go I will post one!!!

If you are a university of Washington fan, this is the only spot in the city to watch the games! The back half of the tavern is reserved for the watch party. Despite the large crowds, the small staff make consistent rounds and took care of everyone at the bar as well. Very impressed with the service. During the holidays, the place is decked out for Hanukkah as well, with dradles and blue/silver decor.

Solid bar. Good drinks and good food! Nice because it is couple blocks away from Wrigley Field. They have a juke box which is cool but it only plays like 1 minute of the song you choose. Normally most Juke boxes play the full song. The service was so so. I think they were understaffed. We asked our waitress for a menu and a water 3 times when ordered our beers. Never ended up getting the menu or water. They ran out of chicken wings(tried to order 12 wings). We got the last 6 wings in the restaurant.

My friend and I stopped by to watch the Chelsea v. Manchester game around 2pm on a Thursday. I thought the overall bar had a very friendly atmosphere filled with people who are passionate about football! There were plenty of open tables when we walked in and the waitstaff were quick to come around and were super friendly as well. We both ordered a diet coke and I got the honey butter chicken tenders with a side of curly fries. I thought that the chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce that came with it was super good. Probably the best part of the meal. The curly fries were good as well and cost an extra $3! The serving sizes are a bit smaller than what you'd expect, but I was definitely full by the end. I would definitely come back for the friendly service and fun atmosphere!
