This is a really fun dive bar in Chicago. The bartenders are super friendly, and the interior has a charming decor. They offer affordable tall boys, making it a classic Chicago dive bar experience.

I visited this charming little restaurant at the beginning of June with my brother and two friends. It has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. The highlight of our experience was Mckenna, the bartender. I apologize for not coming back with gummies; I never made it to the store. Also, thank you for recommending Pequod’s!

Bill is the best bartender around—truly one of a kind. He's friendly, funny, and has an amazing knack for being attentive without hovering. Even when he's busy, he's always there when you need him. Bravo, Mr. Velvet! I can’t wait to return!

This place is a great little dive bar. My dog loves it here and always sees his friends when we stop by. Cut community of neighborhood locals and friendly bartenders. Wish they had more N/A options for my sober friends.
