Ive gone to this bar twice now. The first time I went here I had a blast everyone was friendly and things went smoothly. However I went yesterday with a couple of friends to catch up and things went sour very fast. Our server had a nasty attitude from the moment she walked up to us. I ordered a Jack and coke while my friends said they needed a little more time to decide what they wanted to drink and she already annoyed, she rolled her eyes and ripped up the paper she wrote down my order on and walked away. She came back about 20mins with still the same attitude and she rushed us to order our things. Like she was in a hurry to be anywhere else but at our table. Needless to say when she brought our drinks she stood right next to me and slammed the glasses on the table and walked away in a hurry. She didnt come back to check on us not even once. It wasnt even busy last night so I dont understand why she was doing this. Me and my friends will be going else where from now on.

Alright folks, heres the deal. This bar is right by my place and I go here all the time. Now, normally I wouldnt want to be hyping up a bar that I really enjoy for sake of saving it from the butthead yuppies who pick out their places of leisure through sites like this but there are some sweet shades on the line for this review. Cleos is the spot. Its like hanging out at a bar out of a sit com. You ever seen Cheers? Throw in some cheap specials and some of the nicest staff and you got Cleos. Everyday is something different and they always take care of their regulars. I go Monday for the wings. You should too. But for real, dont come to my bar if you suck.

Cleos is an old standby. If Im here, odds are its Monday and Im having wings. There are daily specials. My friends and I happen to always be down for the wings special on Monday. Like all wings specials, once upon a time they were 10 cents and there was no limit. I blame the economy and I blame myself.... nowadays wings are 35 cents and youre capped at 12. Flavors are basic: buffalo, bbq, plain. Theres your typical domestic beer and a handful of craft options. Cleos hasnt changed much in the many many years Ive been going and thats a good thing. I can count on a good time that doesnt break the bank. Chalk one up for nostalgia.

If you want to avoid the intense hipster scene in Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village, try out Cleos Bar on Chicago Ave. Its the only true sports bar within a 3 block radius. They offer all sorts of soccer matches via satellite, and still have daily drink specials that are actually special. Go during the summertime for their outdoor patio with exterior-facing HDTVs. They were featured on Chicagos Best for their pizza and drink special on Thursday nights.

Cleos has been our favorite restaurant for beer and wings in 10 years now. They also have great pizza and their staff is very friendly, but the buffalo wings are just the best wings in the world. And I have tried almost everywhere, I am a German who has lived in the US and is now living in Sweden. Their patio which they have built some years ago is great in the summer by the way!

I came here for the Pub to Pitch deal, where you can hitch a ride to the Chicago Fire game. I walk in around 4pm- (a young, single female, mind you) and didnt feel awkward at all. They have Angry Orchard cider on tap (!!) and a great little patio out back. I can definitely see myself coming back here with friends to watch a game.

3 stars because it technically not the home of international soccer as advertised. Went here hoping to watch some soccer but it was given a vibe as a blackhawks bar. If I want to watch a blackhawks game ill go to any bar but if I want to watch a soccer game it should be expected that this is the specific place to go to for that

Cleos is a great neighborhood bar with affordable drinks and plenty of specials. If you are into watching soccer, then this is one of the top places to do so. They show a wide variety of competitions across several of the European leagues. It is also a prime spot to catch the Pub To Pitch bus out to Chicago Fire matches.

Super cool staff. Really good specials. Had the 35 cent Buffalo wings, and they were great! My friend had the tacos, and they were seriously good too. Great selection of craft beers and a complete "Whiskey Wonderland." I will make the trip from La Grange Park to West Town anytime! Cleos has a great vibe, too!

Super sports bar. If youre a Blackhawks fan, especially, this is a bar to go to if you want to be yelling and cheering with your fellow fans. They usually have a nice beer selection, and you should go when their special is half off pizza. BBQ Chicken pizza is pretty dang delicious.

Fun relaxed environment with daily food and drink specials. Ive had the burger and pizza and both were great. Very nice outdoor patio w TVs. I have yet to catch a soccer match but hear this is the place to watch in the neighborhood. Service was great too!

Great beer selection, great, big patio. We had some of the chili and a blt though, and the chili clearly came out of a can and they replaced the bacon on the blt with what appeared (and tasted) to be bacon bits. Still though, great place to go drink!

I love going to this place! The food is great! I tend to be there on Saturdays so I always fill up on the $1 Mini Burgers & Pulled Pork Sliders. So Tasty! They have a nice selection of fresh beers.

They have a beer garden in the back thats great when the weather is nice. The Bloody Mary here is pretty good, especially on Sundays when its on special for $5. The nachos are excellent!

This place is awesome. Their wings are so good and beer is always fresh. Barman Steven is a cool guy, always keeps soccer schedule up to date. Great soccer bar with friendly environment

If a place markets itself as a soccer pub then they shouldnt play corny music during halftime and then have to be reminded to turn it back in the 48th minute. Otherwise a solid spot

My favorite bar in the city by far. Excellent staff, always attentive. Excellent food, always just right. ...and then there is Steven, who can forget Steven. He is the man!
