Went to the Naperville location with a family party of 10 met 10 other friends for drinks. After running up a 300$ tab we were asked to leave due to the fact that someone in our party was wearing their hat wrong. After one hour of this person being there the whole party was asked to leave. This Black gentlemen was very nice and was going to leave, then whole party was asked to leave with him. Why did we wait an hour to tell him about a dress code that is not enforced? Also why was it that when the management was involved did they not do anything to ask the party of 20 to stay? I find this embarrasing and rude that they asked the only black gentleman in the group to leave after an hour of spending his money. In this economy I would think that they would have handled this better and not embarrassed all 20 of us and involved other guests.

We visit their Naperville location a lot. The food is the only good thing there. Service is spotty, atmoshere is loud, tables are crowded together, decor is blah. Last straw was this weekend. Our table was given away before our reservation time. We were celebrating a milestone event. The young hostesses (teens) were inexperienced, slow, and incompetent. Had to ask for the manager, who could only give us a noisy table by the kitchen. Pass up the Naperville location if you want to save yourself the hassle.

Nevins used to be the place to go in Evanston. Now I would rather go to the Pub and thats not saying much either. The owner is a real piece of work at Nevins!! We were in there one night and he was drunker than most of the customers. COME ON!! The waitresses are a bunch of b*tches! And the service is TERRIBLE! Not to mention the food. Isnt this where you are supposed to come to get good Irish food. Hah!!! I wouldnt waste a dime there and quite frankly, the need to get a new owner!

SUCKS!! I went here to hear the Polkaholics tonight (they have posters around town for the show for god's sake) and Nevin's said that they do not want them to play here so the cancelled music for tonight. What? Cancel on the day of the show? Nevin's shame on you!!

WARNING: Nevins Pub is under new ownership who is not kid friendly. We have been going to Nevins for years, especially when there is live music. The last time we went, the owner rudely told us that "this is not Chuck E Cheese".

For the north shore, for me, Nevin's is the best thing going. I've never had poor service, even when it's crowded. I've never had a bad meal or a dirty pint. I'm surpised at all the animosity toward the occasional Northwestern infestation, though. It's a great bar...in a college town. Once in a while students indulge in a cocktail. This should not be a shocking event. And I really appreciate the owner's attempt at keeping dining room, pub, and sports bar seperate entities. It really allows most customers jst what they're looking for.

I am a frequent diner at Tommy Nevin's Pub. I have to say it is a terrific place to be!! The atmosphere there is always fun and friendly. You can always expect to get a great pint of Guiness or Smithwicks.
The bartenders love to talk and have quite a lot to say. Just avoid trying to have a conversation when there are 100 Kelloggs in there or a Northwestern game is in session. This place gets packed!
Yes, they may wear little kilts, but tell me what american man doesn't like to get his beer served to him by a hottie in a skirt! The girls are beautiful and all of them are great girls.
For all of you who think Nevins has gone downhill, you should give it another try.
The food is good, service is great when there aren't hundreds of people in there, and the irish session on Sundays gives it the good ole' Irish feeling!

I used to love this place. It was the closest thing to the Red Lion in the North Shore, but sadly it has gone "Sports Bar" on me. Nevin's Live had great potential to be the best live music venue in the area, and that opportunity was missed as well. Now it holds singles mixers and political fund raisers. I don't want a jukebox with country music in my Irish pub. If I wanted to listen to Kenny Chesney, I'd go to somewhere else. Oh, that's right, I have gone somewhere else, because Tommy Nevins isn't the Tommy Nevins I grew to love. I wonder when they'll demolish all the building between Nevin's and Bar Louie and make them one place. Its only a matter of time.

This place used to be a representation of community, spirit, and life of evanston, but it has fallen off. If your looking for a Hooters where the girls wear plaid miniskirts, go ahead, you have found your mecca. Food has taken a huge decline, and the service is horrible. Went there had the pub burger, thinking no one can mess that up, and sadly I was proven wrong. If you just need a place to grab any old beer or grub... You have found it. Im so disapointed in the steady degression in this restuarant.
