Notable Picks
#1
The Duck Inn
8.6
A Bridgeport neighborhood tavern with a serious duck-driven identity—rotisserie, crispy wings, and duck-fat comforts—anchored by a bar program that keeps the room lively. It reads as gastropub-first, but the cooking has real finesse when you order the signatures. Strong for date nights or small groups who want a relaxed dining room without giving up craft.
Must-Try Dishes:
Signature whole rotisserie duck, Duck Inn Dog, Duck fat fries
What makes it special: A duck-first American tavern built around a signature rotisserie duck service.
A full-service Pilsen Mexican dining room where the menu’s best moves lean regional and sauce-driven—moles, slow-cooked pork, and composed plates that reward a paced order. It’s strongest when you anchor the table with one mole-forward dish and one cochinita-style option, then keep the rest tight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Trio de Tacos con Mole, Cochinita Pibil Entree, Puerco Al Rancho (Mole Estilo Guerrero)
What makes it special: A mole-forward Pilsen staple with crowd-proof reliability and depth.
#3
Bob's Pizza
8.4
A Pilsen counter-service shop built around its signature “Pilsen-style” crust—foldable like New York, but with a puffed, bubbly edge that eats closer to a hybrid of styles. It’s strongest when you commit to one specialty pie and let the dough do the talking, especially on higher-contrast combinations that show off the bake.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pickle Pizza, Korean BBQ Chicken Pizza, Spinach Pesto & Stracciatella Pizza
What makes it special: Beer-in-the-dough “Pilsen-style” crust with a distinctive puffy edge.
8.3
A British-leaning pub where the food holds up as more than an afterthought—hand pies and fried items get most of the attention, but the Pub Burger is a legit order when you want something hearty with a pint. It works best as a relaxed, sit-down meal with dependable execution and a steady neighborhood crowd.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pub Burger, Steak and Ale Pie, Scotch Egg
What makes it special: A true pub kitchen where the Pub Burger is worth ordering, not settling for.
#5
Skylark
8.3
A Pilsen dive that over-delivers on bar food—fries come out crisp, salty, and built to ride with a burger and a cheap beer. The best experience is simple: fries plus one sandwich, then let the room do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burger, Tater tots, Bar snacks and pub plates
What makes it special: A true neighborhood dive where the bar food is actually worth ordering.
#6
Pilsen Yards
8.2
A big patio-driven hangout where fries shine most when you treat them as a shareable base for sauces and drinks. Make it a fries-plus-tacos situation, then stop—this place rewards tight ordering more than menu sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes:
Loaded fries, Fish tacos, Agave-forward margarita
What makes it special: A patio-first spot where fries work as the best shareable with drinks.
Worthy Picks
#7
Simone's Bar
7.7
A Pilsen bar that works as a hangout first and a burger stop second, but that’s exactly the appeal—order something solid, post up, and let the room do the rest. Best when you treat it like a burger-and-beer night with a little edge and late-evening energy.
Must-Try Dishes:
House Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Fries
What makes it special: A Pilsen bar where a burger order fits the night perfectly.

Must-Try Dishes:
Double Cheeseburger, Triple Cheese Burger, Chili Cheese Fries
What makes it special: A fast Pilsen counter where the cheeseburger is the sneaky best move.
