Toons Bar & Grill

"This sports bar is the from the owners of Pearl’s Southern Comfort and serves some of the best pub fare around. The chicken wings, which are also served a sibling restaurant’s Beck’s in Lincoln Park, are fantastic. Also find wraps, burgers, and ribs in a sports crazy atmosphere with a lot of Patrick Mahomes’ jerseys." - Ashok Selvam

"Classic bar stools. Faded wooden slatted floors. An old pool table and dart board, miscellaneous sports memorabilia, and a giant fish decorate the space like a frat house curated by the Craigslist “For Free” section. On the surface, Toons looks just like another dive bar. But what sets this Lakeview spot apart is its perfectly fried wings. They have a nice balance of crispy skin and tender meat, and are the ideal canvas for the different sauces. Both the garlic parm and standard Buffalo are delicious, but the garlic Buffalo is the ideal marriage of the two—zesty, tangy, and with just enough heat." - adrian kane, phaithe norman, john ringor

"When it comes to discussions about Wrigleyville sports bar Toons, its beloved chicken wings are usually the topic at hand. But if one is craving a change of pace, a basket of its hand-cut fries will do the trick, especially with an upgraded topping of chili and cheese." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"You can pop into Toon’s any day of the week. It’s a few blocks northeast away from Wrigley, so it shouldn’t get the crazy overflow. It’s ideal for hanging and a quick bite of solid bar food, especially the wings." - john ringor, adrian kane

"On the surface, Toons in Lakeview looks just like a typical dive bar. Faded wooden floors. Classic wooden stools. An old pool table and dart board, sports memorabilia, and a giant fish above the bar make it feel like a frat house decorated by the "Free and For Sale" Facebook group. But what sets this place apart is their perfectly fried wings. They're nicely balanced with crispy skin and tender meat, and are the ideal canvas for their different sauces. Both the garlic parm and standard Buffalo are great, but the garlic Buffalo is the ideal combination of the two—zesty, tangy, and just a little spicy" - John Ringor
