Response from the owner: Michelle you rule... but you knew that 🙂
We came here on a Wednesday afternoon for some good old fashioned day beers and Willie Lill's did not disappoint. Friendly staff, cold drinks, clean bar, cool atmosphere, great patio, fantastic music. I'd absolutely return. We did not try any of the food, so can't comment on that.My only complaint, and the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that there are no physical menus. You need to pull your phone out and scan one of I think 4 QR codes depending on what you're after (food, beer, cocktails etc.). Also, you can't just scan 1 QR code and see everything, you need to physically scan the beer code in order to see beer, scan the food code to see food.I understand that some people like this, but I dislike this practice. I get that it can save time and money for a bar or restaurant not having to print and laminate menus. I also get that it can make it easier for staff because they don't have to handle or clean menus. That being said it makes for a pretty terrible guest experience. I just want to see everything in one place and not have to read it off my phone.
Response from the owner: We recommend Day Beers, promptly followed by Night Beers... Morning Beers optional 😉 Thanks Jovahn! We're working on some physical menus and a better QR code so stop back soon to see those improvements 🙂
Willie Lill’s is a must go to spot! Food is great & the staff were even better! GM Jessica definitely made sure we had the best experience.
Response from the owner: Jess is the best! Thanks!
We have dinner last night. Jessica was very friendly and very attendants we are definitely coming back soon.
Response from the owner: Aw shucks! Thanks!
Such a cute bar and shockingly good chicken wangssssss
Had a great cocktail here. Sitting on the patio is a perfect summer evening activity. Our server was Allie, and she took great care of us!
Response from the owner: So glad you liked it, and thanks for the review!
I’m from Ohio and came across this establishment. Great food awesome atmosphere. I will come back when I come back to Chicago in 2 weeks.
Response from the owner: Steven we can't wait to see you again! Thanks
Some really amazing burgers here. We played Battleship, drank beers, watched sports on one of their million TVs, and the burgers were still the highlight.
Coolest sports bar in Lakeview...

Great food and cocktails, friendly and welcoming staff. Too many TV’s make it difficult to connect with your party.

The manager or maybe owner seems like an unhappy person and isn't the best part about this place. But literally everything else is to die for, awesome bar staff, great food and it is so cool inside!!

Great game watch location! I’ve stopped but occasionally for drinks and the service was always on point. Today I arrange to meet friends for the Iowa women’s tournament game. Not only did they have the game on most TVs but they also had on the sound! Maryssa was our server and she was top notch! Food and drinks were great! We hope to be back again soon!

Oh what fun! Christmas came early! Me and my buddies had such a BLAST here. Great service, even better company! Cold beer and smiling faces - what more can a girl ask for? A must stop! If you’re in the area do yourself a favor and stop by!

So… i showed up here having NO idea what the night had in store and boy did they not disappoint. My friends and I showed up here (one of them recently got fired) and ended up having the time of our lives. The liquor (and good times!) were flowing easily. It’s very safe to say we will be customers again soon. One of my buddies had the half sheet of Nachos but might as well have been a full sheet! The other had a smash burger and I had to clean the sauce off of his face when he was finished. It’s our favorite spot in the area, and I’m not sure if you’re all familiar with the hog up front but we will be back again riding it soon!

Awesome customer service and great food! The owner (I believe that’s who it was) had gone around multiple times throughout the night to make sure everyone was happy with their food, drinks and experience. It was a super fun atmosphere to watch college football with tons of TVs. Decorated great for the holidays and played awesome music!

Yesterday was my first time going there for a Packers game. I am hooked as it is a great environment and super friendly staff. Keep up the good work, and add that Chicken Gumbo with rice on the menu!

Nice spot for drinks and watching sportsIn the process of killing time I strolled into Willie Lill's to check them out. I couldn't resist seeing that they're fairly new to the neighborhood. I had the pleasure of working with Lexi who mixed me up a yummy Cracker Peppercorn Watermelon Martini. I don't know who's smile was brighter, her's when she greeted me or mine after I took my first sip of this amazing drink. This place feels so cozy with the woodsy bar feel. There's indoor bar, table tops and patio seating. It's well lit and certainly great for groups. Thanks for the cocktail and great service Lexi of Willie Lill's!

a very fun place with an outdoor patio and a preposterous number of TV screens. More bars need to do the live band karaoke thing! however it was extremely loud by the stage!

Went to Willie Lil's last night for their live band karaoke and it was amazing!!! They had great drinks and wonderful food and the live band karaoke was the best I've ever seen. Everybody there had a great time and we got up and sing a couple of songs ourselves. I guess they're having it every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. I'll be back next week and every week for all my friends to rock out🤘
