The Glunz Tavern - Chicago

Great place and lots of good Peter Glunz stories! That guy is the hilarious! I do love a good stiegl. Glad the business and family is good.

Nice place! I like their selection of liquor and they have some great appetizers. When I was here I didn't I have a drink, but I did enjoy their Italian Flatbread, my friends had the Coconut Shrimp and an appetizer with the smoked sausage. It was good!!!

The atmosphere, service, and drink list here are impeccable. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was transported to 19th century Germany. The history here is amazing. The founder's original passport is in the wall, along with the original menu showing items priced at ten cents. Also, the ceiling is as old as the building, which is over a century old. Since there wasn't a huge selection of food on the menu, I ended up ordering the chicken noodle soup (with homemade noodles). Not bad. As someone who prefers spicy food, though, I found myself dousing it in salt and pepper. The wine and beer selections, on the other hand, were extensive and could suit any palate. As far as service, it was excellent. My server, Donald, was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the history of the business. Other businesses take note!! This is how you should be serving your customers! This place gets a perfect score for fantastic service, an amazing atmosphere, and an excellent beer and wine selection. It gets a four star rating for limited food menu choices, as well as some food items coming up short on flavor. Overall, though, the feel of this place is fun with a very rich tradition, and would make for an amazingly fun place to socialize with friends.

Not great. Food is way overpriced given the portions! Would recommend eating somewhere else nearby and just having a drink here.

The beer and staff were good. Issue I had was the food portions. It felt like it was mockery. We order the 2 sausages and it came with a side of potatoes for $20 bucks. It was literally the smallest amount of side for the price. 7 very small cut uppotatoes. It was joke. We were also charged for items we didn?t order and had to get it awkwardly corrected. Honestly won?t goback but our waiter was good which is why he is the only reason I gave it a 2 star.
