Master Critic Review

Gracie O’Malley’s Six Corners 7.7
Portage Park
A lively neighborhood pub at Six Corners where happy hour is more about the room’s energy than a complicated menu. Keep it simple: one round of drinks, one fried snack, and post up near the TVs.
Must-Try Dishes: Wings, Fish and chips, Loaded nachos

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking around Six Corners; spots can be tight during peak hours and game nights.
Dress code: Very casual — jerseys, hoodies, jeans, and sneakers all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud during games — conversation is fine between plays, tougher once the crowd reacts.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during major games or events; shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — a few bar-friendly options like fries or nachos without meat.
Vegan options: Very limited — best to plan on drinks only.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some grilled items may work, but cross-contact is likely.
Best For
Better for: High-energy happy hours, sports watching, and group meetups where atmosphere matters more than the menu.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet conversation, a food-driven happy hour, or strong dietary accommodations.
