I'm here often when the Bears or the Cubs are playing. I'm neither a Bears nor a Cubs fan, and yet I find the experience rewarding. I think that on game days there's hot dogs (included with your purchase of alcohol ? ?)
5 stars for any place that is Dog friendly and makes good bloody Mary’s
One of the best dive bars in the neighborhood, honestly probably in Brooklyn. Drinks are cheap, the space is great, they have all the major sports games on, a nice backyard area, and a great place to watch Bears games and be miserable (if that’s your thing)
why is this place so great it has no right to be
chicago themed bar in gowanus that I'm so glad I stumbled into. the bartender was wonderful, the clientele was friendly and eccentric, they had a $9 Modelo + shot combo, really just a perfect bar. will be returning!

Popped in as the bus we had been waiting for hadn't turned up, and it started raining, so thought why not get a drink. Small little place with long bar and a couple of tables towards the back. Fairly busy at the bar, so we opted to sit up the back. The server obviously realised we had no idea what we wanted and pointed out the beer menu on the wall behind us, which we had totally missed. Nice selection of beers. Sport on the TV, server, and clientele chatting, which made for a good atmosphere. Two restrooms also located at the back. Some quirky decorations, too, look out for the shark 🦈
Truly a no frills bar. They technically have a backyard that plays soccer and Bears games, but the real draw here is the cheap booze and dive vibes.
Well, the girl bartender very nice, gret drinks/beer options at very affordable prices, but place has a weird smell, kind of old wet carpet (even that there's not carpet) and there's not snacks available.
Just absolutely my new favorite bar it has everything you could ask for comfy small feeling popcorn and great assortment of beer. The bartenders where great attentive and very open to chatting and keeping everything upbeat. I have been looking for a bar like this to replace my old favorite bar which closed. In closing the prices where good not pricey at all and just overall just a great bar and my new home
