    I love this place!! From the servers to the drinks, and always a nice crowd. Alexis the bartender is a sweetheart !..they have Giant Jenga or you can watch sports choose your own music on the boom boombox. Can't wait to go during summer and enjoy their patio.

    Super close location to the UIC college campuses to snag a beer between classes or study for finals while you watch the game. Also close to the baseball field to catch a game or happy hour special. Feel free to bring in food to BBQ with your friends and family before a game or order in anytime. There's a laid back but still classy atmosphere and music. From video games, ping pong table, video games, a guitar, darts, mega Jenga blocks, books and board games and lots of interesting people travel thru downtown. Train station and bus depot are easily accessible. Outside seating and heated outside tables...

    I love the price of drinks here and you can bring your own food in with you. In the patio area you can smoke a cigar and enjoy a few drinks with friends. This will be a place I will continue to patronize.

    The place is outstanding. The beer is cold, the drinks are mixed. But that one bartender Joe? He's top notch. If you come across him, tell him Crazy Jake sent you.

    Came for darts. Dartboard only took quarters and they wouldn't give me quarters in exchange for cash. Kinds just seemed like they didn't want us there. Was buying drinks and tipping well. I wouldn't recommend coming here expecting to actually play the games they advertise.

    Good vibe. Not crowded and well put together. Bags, darts, food… calm environment. Cigar friendly

  • 5/5 LaTroy S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a diverse CHEERS in the Pilsen area. Great vibe for cigar smokers, sports fans, music lovers, and lovers of good spirits.

    No food, good prices, nice place to sit. Visited years ago when I was a student, visited today and it's still pleasant.

    Great place for drink and relax. Good music, good drinks.

  • 5/5 Matt F. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect dive bar for our Saturday morning. A few ladies played slots and the guys watched college football. Not many people in the place so we were served quickly!

  • 2/5 jonathan K. 1 year ago on Google
    The pub itself is nice, the bartender we had was non existant, she would serve us drinks and then dissappear , where? Who knows, there was hardly any people there, she was just talking to this guy the whole time, we didnt care about her talking to anyone, but hey at least check on customers once in a while, i still give this place a secone chance maybe

  • 5/5 W. Casimir F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dive bar. Outdoor patio is huge. Would be a good place to throw a small party (10-15) and you can BYOF.

  • 3/5 Carolyn J. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice cool little spot. Feel like it's not super friendly to out of towners though. Even though I had a great time my boyfriend not so much. I give a solid 3 stars

  • 4/5 Chris B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar down by UIC. Staff is fantastic, they don't have food but can bring in/order from the restaurants around

  • 1/5 Andrea M. 2 years ago on Google
    This was literally one of the worst happy hour experiences I have ever had. The bar tender was rude to start but I just assumed she was having a bad day. Then when I tried to tell her that she undercharged me, she called me a c~nt and said "Are you still talking? No one cares!" I still tipped $5 on a $4 tab. Never going back.

  • 1/5 K G. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow own a bar in the neighborhood and came to spend some money and introduce myself and the bar is closed already .....obviously amateurs running this bar ....for the extra $17 you are paying your staff to stay those extra 2 hours you just lost a couple hundred $dollars on top of the $$$$ you lost from us never coming back again.....

  • 5/5 Alex C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great "joint" to chill outside and drink and have a smoke

  • 5/5 Francesco C. 2 years ago on Google
