About Us

Since 1982, we have proudly remained a family-owned establishment rooted in the heart of Clearing, a vibrant and close-knit community on Chicago’s Southwest Side. What began as a humble bar and convenience store has grown into a welcoming neighborhood pub where friends, families, and visitors alike can relax, enjoy a hearty meal, and share good company. Over the years, we’ve expanded our space and services to create a more comfortable environment, complete with the ability to host private parties and special gatherings.
At Ziggy’s Side Door Pub, our mission has always been simple: to make every guest feel at home the moment they walk through our doors. And for those looking to add a little extra fun to their weekend, patrons can count on live music every Friday and Saturday night, making Ziggy’s the perfect spot to unwind, dance, and celebrate with friends.
Ziggy and Eva, who purchased the business in 1982, have been the heart and soul of the pub ever since. As proud Polish immigrants, they brought with them not only their heritage but also a deep commitment to hospitality and community. Their philosophy is rooted in warmth, generosity, and genuine care for every patron. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, grabbing a bite to eat, or enjoying the weekend music scene, Ziggy and Eva welcome you with open arms and the kind of hospitality that has made Ziggy’s Side Door Pub a beloved neighborhood tradition for more than four decades.
