Cagney's Restaurant & Sports Lounge, an upscale restaurant meets lounge located in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, brings a sexy, innovative twist to the traditional sports bar. Cagney's has 6000 square feet and over 30 hi-def flatscreen televisions, and the ambiance ranges from swanky to casual. Whether you're relaxing in suede booths while watching your favorite sports team or sipping a classic martini on dark leather couches on a night out on the town, Cagney's friendly and inviting atmosphere is a great place to visit any day of the week. Cagney's versatile menu ranges from traditional bar favorites to fine-dining American Cuisine, such as the zesty shrimp appetizer, the pizza di parma, or the salmon with pesto mayo entree.

With their eyes glued to sports, thirsty neighborhood types chill upstairs at this three-level space, where non-descript details--black and white-checked tables, oversized leather booths and a long, marble-topped bar--feel low-key. The small main level affords street-side views, while downstairs the vibe is lounge-y with low-slung benches, a mock fireplace and separate bar. Mostly, burgers and pizza populate the menu, but arugula and goat cheese salad, a filet with cabernet reduction and mac and cheese with truffle oil tempt more ambitious palates. Irish classics like fish and chips and shepherd?s pie lend a touch of authenticity.Key Points
- Weekend Brunch
- $7.95 Daily Lunch Special

The Inside Scoop
- Where to Sit - The downstairs lounge has a distinctly more low-key vibe than the rest of the bar, but it's typically only open on weekends.
- Save Money - Nurse your hangover without going broke during weekend brunch, when $22 gets you a soup or salad, an entree like eggs Benedict with Irish bacon and unlimited mimosas and bloody marys.
- Know Before You Go - In addition to a solid selection of brews, there's a list of hot specialty cocktails like "The Gangster," a clove-infused hot toddy.

I have been taking salsa classes and this is a great place to go and test your skills. Even if you don't know how to dance you can enjoy the atmosphere and sit on their nice leather couches.

Perfect place to party!
by Jennyd
Went there with a bunch of friends and we had a great time. Just took the brown line and walked a couple of blocks. Tons of TVs and the drink specials were amazing. Different then any other place in the area. CHECK IT OUT!
Pros: Great drink specials, lots of open space
Cons: bathrooms are downstairs

Cagney's breaks the mold in LP
by HBoo
I went for salsa night last Wednesday night...which was a complete surprise to me, because it doesn't strike you as the type of place that could sustain a good salsa following...but the vibe was great, I danced all night and stayed hydrated with their $4 mojitos! Yesss....
Pros: Doesn't fall into the cheesy bar category of most LP bars
Cons: It's a destination bar, nothing like it around

Great Place to watch sports
by fuzzfuzz
Caught the UFC pay per view fight there on Saturday. Over 30 HD TV's made it easy to watch, beer specials were great! Didn't try the food but the menu looked good.
Pros: Drink specials
