Ten Cat Tavern

One of my favorite, and one of the most unique, pubs in the city. A great spot to play pool, unwind with a few beers after a long day, and to watch Premier League club Arsenal in the mornings. There's a cozy back room perfect for things like book club and other social gatherings along with a spacious beer garden. I can't recommend Ten Cat enough for anyone who wants to play pool or relax after a long day!

Ten cat is one of my favorite bars in the city for so many reasons. The atmosphere ranges from chill, community Arsenal vibes on PL mornings to a late night dive with pool, trivia and friends. Each corner is unique from the mosaic walls, eclectic sitting options, cat clocks, punching machine, dart board, outdoor patio and back room for small private events. The bartenders are kind and welcoming and Bob is fantastic, hardworking, and always shows up even for those 6am fútbol matches. You also can’t beat a $4 PBR when you’re looking for a beer on a budget. Highly recommend a visit if you’ve never been!

Great spot to catch an early Arsenal game. Awesome staff and the current red ale is amazing. Pool tables, nice patio, and big tvs to watch games. It’s possible to host events here as well if you speak to management.

The Ten Cat Tavern is one of my favorite bars in Chicago. Not only is the service great and the environment warm and welcoming, but it has become my go to spot to watch Arsenal games. Whether it is a 6 am league kick off on a Saturday or an early afternoon kick off for the Champions League, the Ten Cat Tavern has created an exciting and lively atmosphere. I can’t imagine my experience in the Windy City without the Ten Cat Tavern.

Ten Cat is a neighborhood gem — there are few spaces that bring community together, and Ten Cat is one of one. Service is excellent, owner is great, and the vibes are always immaculate. Whether you’re going to watch an Arsenal game or just hang out with pals, Ten Cat is the spot.

Hello, I was a tourist here three months ago, and I can confidently say it was the best bar in all of Chicago for me. I truly had a great time. Thank you to the management.

Had my 30th birthday party in the back room here and it was perfect! No room fee, no bar minimums, and we could bring in our own food and decorations. Also had access to the outdoor space which was awesome! Everyone in my group commented on how nice the bartenders were and drinks were pretty cheap. Would absolutely recommend!!
