Derno's
4.4 / 5 (792 reviews)

Description

Derno’s in Lincoln Park is a lively sports bar famed for tavern-style pizza, crispy wings, and signature cocktails like the “Big Mike” or the Krusen (Hamm’s plus Malört). Regulars praise the energetic, team-spirited atmosphere, attentive bartenders, and plentiful vegetarian bar bites, while busy nights and firm ID checks keep things orderly. Expect indulgent, traditional bar fare, TVs for games, paid street parking (free after hours), and a scene best suited to adults and sports fans rather than families or diet-focused diners.

Trivia Tuesdays is an absolute blast! Bartender Alex is fantastic, and the food is delicious with affordable drink prices. What more could you ask for?

Google keeps bothering me to rate this place, so I'm finally giving in. I may be biased, since I always go with regulars, but here's the nitty gritty:Located in Timbuktu North Side, this is a destination location worth going to! A peaceful late night spot. Food here is bomb, if you don't mind fatty bar offerings...worth it if you're splurging on your diet. Traditional Chicago tavern-style pizza. Bartender Mike is cool. I should know the big/tall bartender's name, but I suck with names; he's cool too.Vegetarian options: Plenty of meat-free grub (i.e. mac n cheese bites, fries, pizzas/nachos/quesadillas w/o meat, ect.)Dietary restrictions: Not good for lean options. Classic bar-style food.Parking: Paid street, free after a certain time.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.

I had a wonderful experience! The DJ was fantastic, and there was a great selection of draft beers.

I didn't try the food here but I hear it's great in its own way. The service is busy depending on the night but they are relevant to keep track of what customers are looking for. The ambiance is great if your a sports fan hence it's a sports bar, enjoy yourself to a nice evening being loud and team spirited. Just don't be suspicious , security don't play !
