Gannon's Pub
8
Since the mid-2000s, Gannon’s Pub has been a North Center standby for pints, games, and plates built around hand-cut fries. Burgers and fish-and-chips automatically come with those fries, which are thick enough to stand up to vinegar or gravy but still crisp at the edges.
Must-Try Dishes:
Gannon’s Pub Burger with hand-cut fries, Fish & Chips with hand-cut fries, Cajun Blue Burger with fries
What Makes it Special: Neighborhood Irish-style pub where burgers and fish-and-chips rely on proper hand-cut fries.

A United Center-adjacent sports bar where the fries matter more than you’d expect—hand-cut and built to stand up to game-night pacing. Best used as a pre/post-event basecamp for sharable apps, loud energy, and steady baskets that stay satisfying with a beer.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hand-cut French fries, Poutine, Cheese curds
What Makes it Special: Game-night bar with legit hand-cut fries and poutine.
