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.

I love this bar extremely!. but every time I go and I get the bar tender Johnny my experience goes down the drain. Not only do I get disrespected but I get attitude and talked backed to. When Johnny is not there my experience is beyond amazing and I never regret my experience. Don’t let Johnny ruin your experience go there when he’s not!

One of my absolute favorite bars in Chicago. Small neighborhood where I was instantly treated like family. I always seem to end up here and will continue throughout my time in Chicago. Good prices. Great service.
