John Barleycorn - River North
About
- 4.5 ( 45 reviews)
- 10-30, $$, $$$
The original John Barleycorn, which opened nearly 50 years ago at 658 W. Belden Avenue, has become a Chicago classic. From its debut as a neighborhood haunt featuring classical music and art slides to its current format as a sports-focused neighborhood bar and restaurant, the core of the concept remains the same: quality food at reasonable prices, a full-service bar with a stellar beer list and an eclectic interior which is both welcoming and comfortable.

Archie Mack
Nice place for viewing sports events with good sight lines. Good tasting food but portion size is a little small. What was lacking however was the slow and subpar service. The wait staff was a bit overwhelmed on a crowded Sunday and often forgot or took much longer than necessary to comply with simple requests.

This place has plenty to choose from and so much seating area. The food was good, and the wait time wasn't long but we were there during the week so I'm not sure how busy they are at other times.

A great sports bar with great drinks and wonderful BBQ. A hidden jewel in the area!
