    Fantastic spot on the way to pierogie fest. Nice ac, plenty of space, good bathroom. Tough to ask for more in a tight spot.

    Great place while it lasted, Karen and company has moved on and the place was closed down by…read moreeminent domain. That's our government. However, you can find similar (friendly) shenanigans (with FOOD!) at their sister location, "Center Lounge" 1312 119th St, Whiting, Indiana, around the corner and down the street. No pool tables, but of course every game on TV!

    Divey Whiting bar... When I'm hanging out with my uncle…read moreLouie we usually swing by here since he lives a stones throw away. All in all it's your typical neighborhood bar, darts and a pool table, cheap beers and some snacks. There are 2 entrances one door on the East side of the building and the main door in front. Either one is open but I prefer going through the front because there's a table right next to the side door... wouldn't want to hit someone with the door you know. It's not the cleanest place, sticky tables and floors, let's not talk about the men's room... cleaning that would be a Mike Rowe worthy task. Staff is pretty friendly though when it gets busy they tend to forget about the tables a little and the far ends of the bar, just FYI. A friendly gesture such as a quick wave or a raised shake of an empty glass or bottle will bring 'em back to you, no muss no fuss. Since the previous review mentioned gangbangers and fights, I'll mention that in the few times we've been here it's been pretty chill. No gangbangers, no fights. Things have changed since 2005 it seems. Decent place, worth a looksee...

    Sometimes a place is just right. This is THAT place. We took a drive from Chicago to visit the…read moreMascot Hall of Fame in Whiting. More on that in my review of that. The Hall was closed for a 1-2pm lunch break, and we strolled what is a truly exemplary example of a small downtown. Ignore Google Maps, and turn left from Chicago to drive under the arch for Whiting's Main Street. You won't regret it. The highlight of our time in Whiting was this brewery. Great beer options, locally owned by a truly devoted (to food, beer, and town) couple. I'm not a beer drinker, but my man is a font of information and a man of highly trained tastes in the beer arena. Really. He loved the options we sampled, and I loved my usual 1-2 sips of one of them. The lunch special (yes, there is a lunch special) looked appetizing. the events they host (Horror Movie Trivia Night just ahead of Halloween) seemed fun and community-minded. But my favorite part of this stop was our conversation with the owners. I learned more in that conversation about the intersection of small business, community, and small towns than I've learned in any other 30 minutes. The folks at Bulldog care about their business, their locals, and even random visitors from the town to the north. Don't just drive by. Stop in. Say hi. I promise, you'll be glad you did.

    Basically walked in and out. It smelled terrible as soon as we walked in…read more The bartender told us kitchen was closed on a Saturday afternoon. On day of visit they only offered 2 of their beers on draft. We walked out without ordering anything. Disappointing as we made a detour here on our way home from the beach.

    This used to be the go-to local bar to blow off steam after a tough day at work. The clientele is…read morecomprised of a really cool mix of local south- siders (read: White Sox fans!) and UChicago staff/students. There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic. The bar is separated into two distinct parts, divided by a counter/tables in the center (you have to walk all the way around if you want to switch sides or move at the tables). On one side is the bar and a few TVs to watch the games, giving it a louder sports bar kind of vibe. On the other side there are a bunch of tables--almost like picnic tables. It feels very communal and laid-back. It's a place you can sip on drinks and easily spend time with a group of friends. The Cove is very group-friendly. My favorite part? My friend brings his dog there and it's no problem. Is this bar a dive? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I actually love it? Absolutely. Best bar on the area, hands down.
