When is Butch’s Open?

Check out our Division St. outdoor cafe!

Every DAY!

so you can social distance outside and grab a bite to eat and a beer

Inside Hours
Mon-Fri: 11am – 10pm
Sat: 10am – 10pm
Sun: 10am – 10pm
(please note: outdoor seating closes at 11 pm. Having a table outside at 11 pm does not guarantee you a table inside. Please bear with us through these challenging times as we work to obey all mandates on capacity. We thank you for your understanding)

During these times of limited seating and capacity, we just cannot guarantee space will be available for all walk-ups. We are holding some space for reservation only via tock. Please click the button above and book today.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Butch McGuire’s, wow we’ve missed you!

As we re-open we would like to remind you that it’s the people that make Butch’s great, from the customers, to the McGuire family itself, and the 44 other people on staff, and their loved ones too.

We increased our cleaning/sanitation and are following best practices set out by the CDC, Illinois Dept. of Public Health, the Restaurant Association, OSHA, and the fine City of Chicago! To keep customers and staff safe you MUST DO YOUR PART!! So be aware – masks are required at Butch McGuire’s. All trips to the bathroom, the jukebox or to look at the cool T-Shirts for sale, require that you wear a mask. Everywhere inside Butch McGuire’s, unless you are seated, requires wearing a mask.

There is a 2-hour time limit to all groups and while we may want to be flexible, that may not be possible if we have a lot of people waiting for a table. So if we remind you that your time is up, please wrap up, we need to clean and sanitize the area before the next party arrives.

We are so happy you are ready to come back out and join us. Help us protect our families by protecting us.

Outdoor Seating – Now 7 Days a Week!

We pushed hard to get it done, and the Division Street corridor is now approved for outdoor seating 7 days a week. Please come visit us, bring your best friend, and frequent all of the longstanding small businesses in the area. You can even make a reservation for a table outside, and we would be thrilled if you did (use the handy button below).

What will we do in the Winter? Well, we are (all) searching for good ideas. In fact, the Illinois Restaurant Association is sponsoring a contest to find the best idea of how area restaurants can continue to have good, comfortable, and safe business this chilly season. We would LOVE you to enter your ideas. $5000 cash to the winner!
