Wow! A friend recommended the wings so we had to go. Worried we were bringing Tweens after 8, but Dennis reassured us on the phone. He greeted us when we got there too and handed us over to a very cool waitress. Sports trivia contests kept us busy. No wait at door and food came quickly Met some nice families... More

As two couples enjoying a weekend in the "city", we happened upon this welcoming pub on Hubbard. As we are clearly not local residents, the crowd was ideal for our mood and what we like about sports bars - good drinks and good people.

Found Mother Hubbard's while searching for a place to watch a Kentucky basketball game. Mother Hubbard's isn't much from the outside but turned out to be a great choice. Our large party was greeted by the manager and directed to a table in view of at least a dozen TVs. She was more than accommodating, finding the game on ESPN... More

well laid out sports bar that appears to be well managed. Sports programming is actually kept current as games and matches end on a screen. Menu is a fairly standard bar type, but the food is good. Not overcooked and dry like you find at many sports bars. Theory's sports bar is next door and was almost empty the night... More

Always a good time, we stop by Mother Hubbard's each time we visit Chicago. They have great drinks prices and an awesome atmosphere. On our last visit they also had trivia games to play which kept us entertained for hours. Great bar to check out in Chicago! More
