About Babe's on milwaukee
Authentic. Classic. Chicago. This Is Babe's.

We’ve got cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, colorful regulars, good fun, and Chicago sports on eight screens – so you can share in our agony as we watch our favorite teams, whether the Cubs, White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, or Fire.
Whether you’ve been a regular for decades or tonight is your first visit, welcome to our family bar and an undeniable classic on Chicago’s northwest side – founded back in ’86 by Chicago legend Sam “Babe” Belpedio. Even more, drinks have been poured inside our building here on Milwaukee Avenue since the 1940s. Experience a real deal, old-school Chicago classic.
