Almost Home Tavern
Almost Home Tavern is a lively Lakeview stop for post-Wrigley drinks, featuring excellent pizza, hearty chili, messy fries, wedge salads, and a juicy double smash butter burger—plus fun cocktails like the Bleacher Bum frozen drink and superb Old Fashioneds. Regulars love the welcoming bartenders, Alabama memorabilia, and game-day atmosphere, though service can become flustered with long waits during busy events.

“Such a great little spot. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and amazing food. We got the double smash burger, pepperoni pizza, and the bleacher bum frozen cocktail. They were all 10/10! Can’t wait to come back next time we visit!”
“Updated 7/18** Came in before a concert and the place was packed but we were served quickly. The cheese curds were awesome, boneless wings were perfect, and we also locked the buffalo chicken roll up thingys. Everyone else had pizza which looked awesome and next time we will have to get one They had a good collection of cocktails and beers and also some NA beers which was nice. Service was quick even though the section was busy! Was excited to come here but upon our first visit not sure we will be back. We wanted to come and eat and have a few beers, but the bartender seemed like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. No Hello, no asking if we wanted a food menu, and an "ok" as I asked her how the day was going, maybe she was just having a bad day. We had two beers then left. Given that there were only six people in there on a Friday at 6p I was shocked, we may give it another shot, maybe...”
