Nothing says summer quite like blues music on the patio.

We're excited to welcome Lil' Ed Williams back to Hackney's on Harms Patio for a special performance on Wednesday, June 3rd. A true Chicago blues legend, Lil' Ed is known for his incredible slide guitar, nonstop energy, and keeping classic Chicago blues alive.

If you've seen him before, you already know it's always a fun night.

In 1930, armed, masked robbers stormed into the Lake Avenue Tavern. During the robbery, a customer stopping in on his way to visit his wife at Evanston Hospital was tragically shot and killed. The robbers forced Frank Engels to open the safe before escaping with just $125. The murderer was never identified, though some locals have long believed the gunman may have been Baby Face Nelson — one of the most notorious gangsters of the 1930s. Known for his violent bank robberies and ties to infamous criminals like John Dillinger and Al Capone, Nelson became one of the FBI’s most wanted men during the Depression era.

We’re all set for the Kentucky Derby at Hackney’s on Harms—especially at our outdoor bar. Sunshine, fresh air, and a perfect spot to post up with a cocktail (mint julep, anyone?) while the race is on.

Before Hackney’s on Lake, this spot had a life of its own.

It was Engel’s Steak House. And before that—what’s now Macushla Brewery—was Lake Ave. Tavern, owned and run by Frank Engels Sr.

Different names, different times, but it’s always been a spot where people come to hang out, eat, and catch up.

Same family the whole way through… just keeping it going on Lake.

Spring in Chicagoland… you never really know what you’re gonna get.

But when the sun shows up, our patio at Hackney’s on Harms is ready. Flowers blooming, fresh air, and that perfect “we made it through winter” feeling.

Catch the warm moments while you can—we’ll save you a seat.

Funny seeing everyone talk about circle bars like they just discovered them…

We’ve had ours at Hackney’s on Lake for years—and if you’ve been in, you know it’s always been the spot. People talking across the bar, jumping into conversations, making friends without even trying. It just works.

No gimmicks. No trends. Just a bar that brings people together.

Grab a seat and see what it’s all about.

Don’t forget the Hackney’s French Fried Onions! ( that’s for you Dave Werner!)

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Today (and every day), we’re proud to do our part to take care of the planet we all share. One way we make that happen at Hackney’s is by teaming up with The Urban Canopy to compost our food waste.

Instead of ending up in a landfill, our scraps are turned back into healthy soil—helping reduce waste and give back to the earth in a real, meaningful way.

It’s a small step with a big impact, and we’re proud to be part of something that helps our community grow greener.

At Hackney’s, we’re always looking for ways to do things a little better—for our guests, our community, and the environment 🌱

That’s why we’re proud to partner with Urban Canopy to compost our food waste. Instead of sending scraps to the landfill, we’re helping turn them into nutrient-rich soil that gives back to the earth.

It’s a small step that makes a big impact—and one more way we’re working to keep things fresh, responsible, and rooted in community.

Good food shouldn’t go to waste ♻️

Spring in Glenview doesn’t last forever, and these are the days meant for slowing down a little—grabbing a table, enjoying the fresh air, and letting the kids run around while you actually sit and relax for a minute.

Soak it in. Stay a little longer. Order another round.

Because before you know it, these perfect spring days are gone—and you’ll wish you took advantage of every single one.

Just because you're hosting a cocktail party doesn't mean you have to miss out on a Hackney's Burger.
Our mini Hackney Burgers bring all the flavor you love-stacked with American cheese on our signature dark rye-perfectly sized for mingling, sharing, and going back for "just one more."

Because great parties deserve great burgers.

Tonight, something special happened at the Circle Bar.

People paused their conversations, pulled up a stool, and gathered shoulder to shoulder—eyes on the screen—as astronauts made their way back from the moon. For a few minutes, everything else faded out.

Strangers became friends, cheers broke out, and we all shared in a moment bigger than any one of us.

History doesn’t always feel this close… but tonight, it did. 🌙
