A Chicago neighborhood gathering place

Each neighborhood has its own special place that brings smiles to people’s faces. A place where old friends reconnect after being away from each other for years. Where co-workers stop to have a drink and then end up laughing all night long. A place that knows what seat you want to sit in, and also welcomes new guests as if they’ve been coming here for years.

To us, that place is Higgins’ Tavern.

Higgins’ Tavern is a staple of Chicago life, which is based upon an easy-to-understand concept; creating a location where people can slow down and experience a meal, and appreciate celebrating their achievements in life while enjoying the kindness of real hospitality. As such, we’re not going to try to chase trendy ideas or pretend to be someone we are not. Instead, we proudly call ourselves a neighborhood tavern who believes that being authentic is much better than looking cool and having too many people attending.

Our Heritage

The Way To Be A Popular Local Spot

From the minute you enter our doors, you’ll notice it.

Warm light reflections off the polished wood. Familiar chatter filling the air. Cheers when the local team wins. And the amazing smell of delicious food coming out of the kitchen.

While these things might appear trivial in isolation, when combined they create something of substance – a location that people return to again and again.

We believe that hospitality is not an act at Higgins’ Tavern. Rather, it is knowing your customers' orders and saying hello to them. And ensuring that every guest leaves happy because they were treated with respect and cared for during their visit.

What We Stand For

Born & Raised In Chicago

Chicago is a city of working class people and their communities as well as many different neighborhoods. The community has a strong sense of community pride. That's what Higgins' Tavern represents.

We are a place to be able to see your neighbors when you come here. Our guests become part of our family and we celebrate all the moments, both big and small, with the people who sit at the tables we provide. Every time there is a sports fan-filled day to an empty weekday, every single minute adds to the ever-growing story of the people who have sat in our walls.

We don’t just serve this neighborhood. We belong to it.

Good Honest Eats, Served With Love

We love to promote foods that people truly desire.Big burgers that take both of your hands. A breakfast meal that is sure to set your day off right. Appetizers that get eaten up before people realize what is happening. The late night favorite now becomes a weekend tradition.

You can find excellent beer at the bar, created with quality spirits, nice wine and good tasting soda, all treated equally well. No matter how you celebrate your success, when ever you raise a glass, it will always be for a better time than your last.
