- Solid pub food, great beer selection including often obscure breweries. Pretty low ceilings giving it a cosy feel, Green Door is one of the more historically relevant bars in Chicago.
- Scott ByerlyJuly 13, 2015Awesome decor and feel to this place! Checkout the crafts on tap. They rotate frequently and always house some of the best beer in Chicago and the U.S.!
- Kevin M. McNally, CMPDecember 30, 2018Chicago's oldest tavern (est 1921). Fun, eclectic, lots of craft beers and good drinks, food is delicious and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Cheers!
- Lucille FisherJune 3, 2019Head straight downstairs to the speakeasy - The Drifter to book a table. Then head back to the bar for a drink or so before you’re called to your table in the secret room.
- AngelaNovember 20, 2014Cozy, lovely neighborhood bar in River North. Not your typical expensive, loud bar you would normally see in this area. Really friendly bartender & they have a fireplace for those cold chilly nights.
- Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018Step back in time to this classic prohibition pub. Good food, classic beverages, fun staff and easy location. Terrific sign says it all "Hey Pal, this ain't no dress rehearsal." "Cheers!"

- Julio CaesarsSeptember 1, 2015This combination worth my 4 hour flight from Mexico City.... Enjoy the Bootleburger with a Little Sumpin Sumpin Ale.
- Drunken HistoryNovember 22, 2011Stop in and try what is arguably the best Corned Beef Sandwich known to man. Wash it down with a Moscow Mule or our personal favorite the French 75, which was named after the 75mm howitzer!!!
- Allison KaminskiJanuary 8, 2016One of the oldest bars in Chicago!! Great Brussel sprouts and buffalo chicken sandwich. Speakeasy in the basement 😉
- T CallahanNovember 20, 2014Cool piece of history with a fun atmosphere. Original doorway still standing since the great Chicago fire.
- Claire PistekMarch 28, 2015Only had drinks, but the vibe and atmosphere were great. Very old Chicago. Great casual dink place in the area.
- The FreehandMarch 4, 2015Great beer selection, a rockin' jukebox + pool table, and a newly opened speakeasy downstairs.
- Fantastic beer selection and order the crispy beef sandwich. Ask for extra napkins.
- Jillian BurnickasJune 20, 2016We stumbled in accidentally but it was still a good time. I would definitely go back.
- Give Julius (aka juicy j) a hug when you walk in the door. He's the most lovable doorman!

- BeckyJune 5, 2013Awesome avacado burger! Plus when you order a medium hamburger, you get a medium hamburger!
- Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014Slice of New York Cheesecake with a Toasted Almond to pair = excellent decision.
- This place is a great, historic bar! Ask about its history as a Speakeasy.
- David LeszcynskiAugust 23, 2016The drink I had was ok, nothing spectacular, and I felt bad for the one waitress who seemed to be doing all the work. The history of the building is really cool.
- Drunken HistoryFebruary 20, 2012Check out the Green Door Tavern's history in this short video http://www.drunkenhistory.com/green-door-tavern-chicago
- Tammy Lynn GilmoreFebruary 14, 2010Good music, sweet waitress, and good chili for this out-of-town Texan. They also have a sign that points out which way to Texas, so I felt right at home! :)
- Amanda SchwartzMay 7, 2012Try the buffalo chicken salad. Not too spicy but a good kick in the sauce!
- Bruce PaulOctober 16, 2011One of the few places from before the fire. A good place to run into famous Chicagoans.
- Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseSeptember 28, 2012I'm surprised Metromix didn't include a photo of the 'Shot Wheel'. ;=)}
- Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseJune 7, 2012This venue has been a tavern since 1927. Nationwide Prohibition was from 1920-33. Hmmm. I think the statute of limitations has expired; so it should be OK to mention.
- Adam SegerApril 15, 2011Green Door Chile with lots of hot sauce washed down with a tall hum & soda will cure the common cold.
- Paulie is the man. Buy him a shot of jaeger and he will love you.
- Tallest urinals in the city. The speakeasy room is pretty rad too.
- Love the Santa Fe burger with guacamole on it. My most frequent order.
- Bekki J. ChapmanJanuary 16, 2011I don't know first hand but I hear the urinals are extremely tall. Best used by those 5' 9" or taller.
