Suggestions for Metro Station near Albany Park, Chicago

Ryan S. • June 27, 2010Check out the decorative touch on the fence along the street as you exit the east station house.

Raed M. • October 13, 2014My most favorite stop-well lit and it feels safer than most, probably because it's in Ravenswood Manor. Enter either on Sacramento or Francisco, but Ventra vending/cash machine only at Francisco side.

Alex S. • August 26, 2011The village discount outlet is right next to here to the right! Lots of great stuff and sometimes good variety of vintage designers. Good price range

Heidi S. • January 30, 2010If the lights start flashing, you can make it to the station b4 the barricades close from about 75 yards. You can do it!

Shannon J. • May 5, 2019Close to lots of great spots!

Renee • July 18, 2013Get a round trip ticket it's cheaper, clean train and the AC works well plan on a 45 min ride from O'Hare to downtown. Get off at Washington. Station for Millinium Park

Tea R. • October 12, 2022The gateway into Lincoln Square- surrounded by great restaurants, gift and boutique shops. In the summer & fall there’s a Tues morn & Thurs eve Farmer’s market with a dozen + food vendors & artisans

Willie C. • September 18, 2011There is one bike rack upstairs and more downstairs.

Benny H. • May 1, 2010Mind the gap! I've only used this station a couple times and it has to have the biggest gap from car to station I've seen. Looked like 6 or 8 inches!

Matt S. • July 28, 2013People walk as fast as they can to get through the turnstiles and then crawl up the stairs and make you miss your train.

Jake S. • July 15, 2013If you enjoy outdoor dining in the summer, this is a great spot for you. Hit up one of the many restaurants in the immediate area.

joey m. • July 28, 2011If you had a bad commute, walk west on Irving Park to the Globe Pub and get a shot of Malort to ease your troubles.

Jon M. • April 2, 2014Nearby places ... Thai restaurant and a bar next door. Dunkin donuts, Klein park, a Mediterranean restaurant, and a Mexican restaurant. There's also a western union next to it.

Jake S. • June 12, 2013If you've just arrived and are looking to eat (or drink), you're in luck; there are many good restaurants just above you. Head to Longman & Eagle if you're in the mood for brunch.

Lee S. • January 29, 2012Headed south to Jefferson Park take the 4th car and you'll be let out by the stairs :-)

Max M. • November 9, 2016One of the nicer brown line stops.

Jake S. • July 8, 2013See some live entertainment at the Riviera Theater, the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, or the Annoyance Theater.

Zach L. • February 21, 2013The remodel is great, but the new heat lamps are so low they burn your scalp! #humanfrenchfry

Lauren M. • August 12, 2014Brown line is great because they always have seats and it's clean

Dan I. • November 18, 2012Nice new station. The new heat lamps are amazing!

Roadretro • June 17, 2011If you need to walk to Andersonville (west), catch a car at the back of the train. Bryn Mawr is super busy and the light at the corner is easier to manouver if you do this.

Brandi W. • May 12, 2013Don't listen to these newbies to the area warning you about mugging and shit like that. I've live in the area all my life and have felt safe from sunrise, sunset, and dusk. These guys are paranoid!

Phoenix J. • April 2, 2018Tons of restaurants within walking distance.
