Frank and Mary's Tavern has been a cherished part of Chicago's dive bar scene for over 50 years. With new ownership, we've refreshed the space, while keeping the beloved features that make our bar a local favorite.
Our ownership team is made up of industry veterans with over 50 years experience in operating bars and restaurants throughout Chicago and recently the suburbs. Kyle Bagley and Sam Stone have been partners in The Graystone Tavern since 2015 and welcomed Kristin Kopicki to the group with a partnership in Cody’s Public House in 2020. John Trampas is joining the group for this project and we’re excited to bring his experience into the daily operations of Frank & Mary’s. We plan to continue many of the traditions enjoyed by Frank & Mary’s patrons over the years, but like all things, change is inevitable and some changes were definitely needed. Our group is excellently prepared to shepherd Frank & Mary’s into this new chapter and continue the legacy created by Frank and his sister Mary, may she rest in peace.
Open today | 03:00 pm – 02:00 am |
