“Great Wings”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2009
1
person found this review helpful

The bartender @ Smith & Wolensky recommended this place as having the best wings in the city and she was not wrong. They serve the whole wing intact and I was stuffed after 3 couldn't finish the basket of 6, crispy and spicy. A really nice draft beer selection, friendly staff and pool tables in the back. If I'm in Chicago again I will defintely go back.

“Awesome and Friendly Pub”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2008

This is a really cool little sports bar! The people there are great. What more can I say? The food is really good and the bar host, Toby is a really nice guy. Jennifer, our cocktail waitress, was a ton of fun and when they found out we were all from out of town, they gave us some Mother Hubbard bar towels as souvenirs and tips on good places to eat during the rest of our stay.

Like I said, this place was just full of really nice people and had a nice, local, friendly atmosphere.

“great for any NCAA game~”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2008

The bell man at the our hotel suggested we try Mother Hubbards to watch the ND vs MI state game last weekend. Turns out he knows what hes talking about. When we walked in the door the hostess asked us what game we would be watching and took us right to a seat where we could see the game the best! Huge flat screens all around us it was great! We only had drinks but the food looked and smelled good! Will return for some more football action!
