The street of Gale Inn gives the entire old school Chicago Vibes what makes sense, because it has been in Jefferson Park since the early 1960s! The place is def...

I have been coming to Gale Street for yearsTypically I go on Monday nights for the live music and the rib deal ($5 off a full slab).

3.5 stars reallyWhat we have here is a decent neighborhood restaurant on the far northwest side of ChicagoIt's quite an attractive place.

Gale Street Inn has a policy of not seating guests until the entire party has arrived, which can lead to waiting in a crowded reception area. However, they are accommodating to early arrivals and parties of different sizes. The food is highly praised, particularly the ribs and desserts. While the service can be slow when the restaurant gets busy, the quality of the food makes it worth the wait. The atmosphere is described as lively, not ideal for a quiet or romantic dinner. Many customers have been loyal to Gale Street Inn for years, praising the ribs as some of the best in Chicago. The restaurant has recently been renovated with live music and entertainment, adding to the overall experience. Overall, Gale Street Inn offers classic, delicious food in a lively setting, making it a favorite among patrons.

They have recently remodeled the place inside and out. Not so much a dive bar vibe but still a great place to chill after a long day at work
