Solid pub food , great beer selection including often obscure breweries . Pretty low ceilings giving it a cosy feel, Green Door is one of the more historically relevant bars in Chicago .

Scott Byerly

Awesome decor and feel to this place! Checkout the crafts on tap . They rotate frequently and always house some of the best beer in Chicago and the U.S.!

Kevin M. McNally, CMP

Chicago's oldest tavern (est 1921). Fun, eclectic , lots of craft beers and good drinks, food is delicious and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Cheers!

Lucille Fisher

Head straight downstairs to the speakeasy - The Drifter to book a table. Then head back to the bar for a drink or so before you’re called to your table in the secret room .

Angela

Cozy , lovely neighborhood bar in River North. Not your typical expensive , loud bar you would normally see in this area. Really friendly bartender & they have a fireplace for those cold chilly nights.

Step back in time to this classic prohibition pub . Good food, classic beverages, fun staff and easy location. Terrific sign says it all "Hey Pal, this ain't no dress rehearsal." "Cheers!"

This combination worth my 4 hour flight from Mexico City .... Enjoy the Bootleburger with a Little Sumpin Sumpin Ale .

Drunken History

Stop in and try what is arguably the best Corned Beef Sandwich known to man. Wash it down with a Moscow Mule or our personal favorite the French 75, which was named after the 75mm howitzer!!!

Allison Kaminski

One of the oldest bars in Chicago !! Great Brussel sprouts and buffalo chicken sandwich . Speakeasy in the basement ????

Grab a beer and wonder how those leaning walls given way yet.

The Freehand

Great beer selection , a rockin' jukebox + pool table , and a newly opened speakeasy downstairs.

During prohibition , a green door signified that the joint had booze.

Jillian Burnickas

We stumbled in accidentally but it was still a good time. I would definitely go back.

Eric Munn

Fantastic beer selection and order the crispy beef sandwich . Ask for extra napkins.

Give Julius (aka juicy j) a hug when you walk in the door. He's the most lovable doorman !

Pete Marcus

Massive portions (I'm British). Try the pork chop . It's huge.

Richard Brilli

Awesome Scotch Egg !

Noah Manion

Excellent whiskey selection including pappy van winkle !

Joe

Nice little place with some great history.

David Leszcynski

The drink I had was ok, nothing spectacular, and I felt bad for the one waitress who seemed to be doing all the work. The history of the building is really cool.

L K

Calamari was good, although a bit crumbly. Good beer specials !

KIRK STRUBLE

It's like walking back in time. So amazing.

Tammy Lynn Gilmore

Good music , sweet waitress , and good chili for this out-of-town Texan. They also have a sign that points out which way to Texas, so I felt right at home! :)

Amanda Schwartz

Try the buffalo chicken salad . Not too spicy but a good kick in the sauce!

Bruce Paul

One of the few places from before the fire. A good place to run into famous Chicagoans.

I'm surprised Metromix didn't include a photo of the 'Shot Wheel '. ;=)}

This venue has been a tavern since 1927. Nationwide Prohibition was from 1920-33. Hmmm. I think the statute of limitations has expired; so it should be OK to mention.

Adam Seger

Green Door Chile with lots of hot sauce washed down with a tall hum & soda will cure the common cold.

Gene Graan

Paulie is the man. Buy him a shot of jaeger and he will love you.

Chris Phenner

I don't know first hand but I hear the urinals are extremely tall. Best used by those 5' 9" or taller.
