Early Doors

Saturday and Sunday mornings we open at 6:30am for the early kickoffs. The kitchen is on from the first whistle — Full English, corned beef hash and eggs, Irish coffee, and the Long Island iced coffee for anyone treating it as a long day. Breakfast runs until 1pm; the burgers take over from there.

Supporters’ groups welcome. If your club has a Chicago-area supporters’ group and you want a screen and a section for the season, get in touch — we’ll sort it out.

Groups of 10 to 150. Ask about the backyard for tournament weekends.
