★★★★★ 5.0 Just loving to Travel · Jan 2026

Really nice place. I got the chicken sandwich it was amazing. The service was amazing. Happy hour was great. Very nice local bar. Drop in you will be happy.

★★★★★ 5.0 Yvonne Mcmanus · Sep 2025

First visit while in Old Town. Was a delight to meet Pierre, he happily told us some interesting history of the Glunz Tavern and a mini tour ( many photos and interesting items within!) We will definitely return. Had my first Old Style beer this day 😉

★★★★★ 5.0 Josh Friedman · Mar 2025

Great cheddar dog, real Käsekrainer style, with a Stiegl lager to boot. Quick, friendly service, old-timey decor, but not precious. Good wine list, it's attached to a wine shop, and big whiskey selection too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nazgul Mokeeva · Dec 2024

Oldest pub in Old town, must visit place. The atmosphere takes you back to 1888 Chicago. Pretzels and bratwursts, beer and gluhwein, artifacts the original owner brought from Germany.

★★★★★ 5.0 Viraj Mhatre · Mar 2021

Nice and old place right on the corner of Division and Wells street where OLD TOWN starts. Good collection of beers and wines. You can also find almost all the liquors here. This is an Austrian/German place. I really liked their food menu but unfortunately we did not order anything. Outdoor patio seating available.
