Hands down my favorite bar in Chicago and my go to bar for date night . If your looking for a laid back bar with a great beer list and a plethora of board games check out Guthries. Read more

Cole Kennedy

Damn near perfect neighborhood bar . It's the kind of place that makes you wish you lived around the corner. Come, drink craft beer , play board games , and order mozzarella sticks .

Kevin Dockman

Friendly folks and awesome atmosphere. Try the Firestone Double Barrel Ale : It's like Fat Tire , only even better for cooling off on a muggy day.

Tana Babcock

Amazing, eclectic hole in the wall joint with a large beer selection , full bar and tons of games to play. A neighborhood gem !

Charlotte Dunne

Cosy neighbourhood tavern. Huge selection of beers . Lots of board games . Can order takeout there too. Great for getting over a Sunday hangover

Anyone that’s stopped in knows it’s the best bar in Chicago . Great beers and playing board games with friends draws you in and soon enough you’re making memories for a lifetime

Jaclyn Ortiz

I love this tavern. Great game selection and decent beer prices. It's a must for all Chicagoans.

Ricky A

The board games makes this place unique, but the beer selection was quite good. Mozzarella sticks are B+. Outside breading could be a little crispier

Chicago Bar Bracket

Good but not huge beer list and a perfectly acceptable place to lose to your friends in a game of chess .

Nick Ionita

Board games , weird baby doll heads on the ceiling, and stumbling distance from Wrigley. What's not to like?

Redeye Chicago

Behind the distinctive ivy-covered facade of this neighborhood institution, regulars can partake in board games and beers in one of Lakeview's coziest settings. Read more

They have board games here!

CJ Wright

women love the board/children's games, so there's an excellent girl:guy ratio - however, the table:people ratio isn't as good... get here early to score a table for the night :)

Jess C

Good weeknight specials, an extensive beer selection and the board games give this place a homey and inviting feel.

Zack Christ

Hot AF in here. But it's all good. Order a cold beer .

Fun for a group night out, also cheap beer

Time Out Chicago

Sit here: We know it sounds dorky, but seriously, the board games are half the reason to visit this place. Get a spot in the front room to play. Read more

David Berman

Board games and a wonderful chill vibe!

Lisa Wallis

Tampons in the ladies' room. It's like you really get us, Guthrie's, you know?

Jacob Carlson

The guy with the long hair is Mark. He is EXTREMELY knowledgable about his beer and if you are looking for good suggestions you NEED to listen to him. I have never been dissapointed.

faldy rahman

yeah, We know it sounds dorky, but seriously, the board games are half the reason to visit this place. Get a spot in the front room to play

Board games ! Yea! and it gets packed so go early to get the good ones!

They have Scruples here! I've been looking all over for it.

If you're patient, the tamale man will make an appearance. Listen for "tamales , tamales !" and have your $5 ready.
