"Nearly four years after a fire shuttered it, 35-year-old Irving Park bar and live music venue the Abbey Pub is finally coming back soon — but with a slightly different name and new ownership. The new spot at the same address (3420 W. Grace Street), named the Chicago Abbey, will be similar to the original but modernized, Block Club reports, and is slated to open later this year. But the news also comes amidst a lawsuit — the bar’s longtime previous owners are suing their landlord, alleging they were forced to vacate over a disagreement about funding to rebuild and reopen it." - Daniel Gerzina

Haven’t been in years, but glad to see The Abbey is back! It was always one of my favorite venues back in the day. So much nostalgia for this place. Saw lots of great local bands in both the live room and the pub. There is a good-sized stage in the live room with standing room on the floor and a balcony with seating, plus a bar at the back of the room. The separate restaurant/pub section is a nice cozy setting for acoustic shows. Good food from what I recall and strong drinks, friendly staff. Can be tough to find parking, but that’s Chicago for ya. Get there early and plan for street parking.

It's currently closed indefinitely and has been for quite a while. Not sure why Google keeps refusing to update it when I try to fix this misinformation. Remember, don't assume Google Maps is accurate, or any general map service for that matter. To whoever has been neglecting this listing: let me know when you actually open and I'll give it a shot with an updated review.

I've been to The Abbey for lots of shows back in "the day". Now I mostly go for the restaurant. The Abbey as a venue is great. I've enjoyed showed from right up in front of the stage, to in the balcony. The sound is good and I've never been disappointed. The restaurant is pretty good. It's typical pub food and depending on the day/time you go there, the service is hit or miss.

I've been coming to the Abbey Pub for 10 years, I love this place. It is a great venue to see a small band, and even better if you get a seat at a table upstairs. This past weekend I saw This Must Be The Band here and the show rocked. I've seen may bands here and always have a great time at the Abbey Pub. Plus, it's pretty easy to find street parking nearby.

I rated food Good because I didn't really ate any food there, but I saw what other people were eating and it did looked good. Easy Parking on streets. People are really friendly and it wasn't superloud that you can't hear. If you love beer, then there are good selections. I think this is a great place to get together with friends and chill.

Love seeing shows at The Abbey, they have a great spot that gets really steamy when the crowd gets going. It can be tight to navigate, only because they bring great talent and have a fun vibe. It can be hard to catch a cab home from their after shows, but still worth going - especially if This Must Be The Band is playing (Talking Heads Tribute band)!

I've given this place many a chance, wanting it to be real good. I walk away each time disappointed in something. The food has ranged from great to ok, the waitstaff has ranged from pleasant to non existent. I hear great things about the music venue and the place does feature outdoor seating. I'll likely be back, with lower expectations.

I went here for the St. Pat's festivities. It's a big Irish bar with an open space and stage in the middle for bands and performances. I don't think I'd come back for a normal day, but it was cool for the occasion - they had some Irish bands and Irish school dance teams perform. Also, the appetizers were pretty good - I tried the fries and the corned beef egg roll.
