    The Vibe Here Is Fantastic, Blending A Cozy Neighborhood Feel With Just The Right Touch Of Sophistication. The Staff Is Super Friendly, Making You Feel Welcome From The Moment You Walk In. I Highly Recommend Their Gin Gimlet--It's Incredibly Refreshing, Perfectly Balanced, And One Of The Best I've Had In The City. If You Visit During The Holidays, You're In For A Treat. The Christmas Decorations Are Stunning And Create A Festive, Warm Atmosphere That's Perfect For A Night Out With Friends Or A Holiday Date Night. Although The Patio Was Closed When We Visited, We Still Had An Amazing Time Indoors. The Cozy Ambiance And Friendly Crowd Made It A Night To Remember.

    Instantly greeted with great enthusiasm and hospitality from Levi the bartender. Levi was also very helpful explaining the custom cocktails and even gave helpful suggestions. Both drinks I tried were good, they are on the sweeter side but personally i liked that. Overall great bar and vibe. I would love to come back and try more of their cocktails.

    Central Park Bar is a perfect spot for a chill patio beer with your friends! They have a nice spot outside with open seating and a swing and some games too - it was a very chill and cosy atmosphere. We got the pickle beers here and gosh they are definitely an acquired but fun taste! Quick service and overall well packed with people so this is definitely a bar I'd love to come back to!

    Always a good time at this bar. Really nice patio area which become enclosed in the winter. Very dog friendly bar (inside & out). Staff are nice here and not pretentious that you sometimes get at Chicago bars. This watering hole has good assortment of liquor options. Happy Hour is from 4 to 7pm and offers 50% drinks. Really no limits on the 50% off. They have some top shelf limitations. I ordered margaritas both times that I have been here and they were yummy. Husband had the old fashion and he enjoyed his drink.

    Stopped in for a drink for the first time. I'm struck by the spacious patio, I like the branding for the Chicago Parks. It was happy hour when I walked in. Got a Sazerac and a Negroni they were both made well. Originally wanted a Last Word but they were out of Chartreuse which is becoming common these days with so many people making cocktails at home and monks production level not keeping up. I would certainly recommend checking it out for the happy hour deal.

    This is a personal favorite place for my dog and I being in the neighborhood! We have been here countless times and the drinks never dissapoint! My favorite bartenders are the long haired man and the short blonde haired woman! I need to figure out their names lol! The bartender with the curly long hair has given me and my friend a lot of attitude but the place is such a vibe and is by far the best happy hour in chicago! The music is rock and roll and there's a Photo Booth! But like I said dog friendly until 8:00PM makes a great bar in my opinion!! The lush is a personal favorite !

    Yea, we'll take a half off happy hour ANY DAY of the week. Solid bar in the area. Walked in and was met with a smile from the bartender behind the bar. Grabbed the UNO cards and a seat at the patio tables on the outside patio. Ordered very tasty drinks from the outside bar and really enjoyed the music and atmosphere of this spot. Very chill with heavy pours.

    Happy hour 4-7 Monday-Friday! We were able to get specialty cocktails for $6 (normally $12)! All drinks are half off during happy hour so there are even cheaper options available. This place is near my friends house where we were staying. Seemed like a great neighborhood bar, they have a swanky inside bar and then a cute outdoor area. We came on a Tuesday, but they have a food truck that comes on fridays (the gilty pig), which is also supposed to be good if you're able to go on a Friday!

    This is a fun bar that gets pretty packed on Saturday night. They have good music playing which gets the crowd going on.

At 4pm on a weekday it was already bustling, and this place is popular for good reason! The entire vibe and the staff are just super cool. Even the bathrooms are an experience, with heavy metal music blasting in a way that just adds to the unique charm. To drink, I tried the lucky linny and blood orange sour, which were both fantastic. I'm not typically a huge beer person, but after this visit I'm well on my way to crossing to the other side. For the appetizer, we split the cheese curds. I really liked the Korean inspired twist and the kimchi aioli served alongside. I think it could've used a little more salt and arrived warmer for a nice cheese pull, but otherwise it was enjoyable. I opted for the double cheeseburger as the main event, and it was really well done. The beef was juicy, perfectly cooked, with ample high quality cheese and caramelized onions. I think the sauce could've used an extra something, but overall it was a great burger. Great experience all around. Can't recommend highly enough and look forward to returning soon!

But after settling in, the bartender took care of us, and I very much appreciated the $5 pints on special because most things seemed to cost a few bucks more than it needed to. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was worth it, though. The mac and cheese, even with bacon added, topped out at okay. From at atmosphere standpoint, it definitely the place to be in Mayfair/Old Irving Park.

The drinks are reasonably priced there are SO MANY TVs everywhere so there's no craning your neck to see your fav game. The apps were some of the best bar food I've had. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our game watch. We hope to be back again soon!
