A buddy strongly urged us to hang here. Boy am I glad we did! Y'all, they have INFUSED Malort! We had a shot of candy cane Malort and an Old Style. They played killer jams, Jawbreaker/Braid, etc. The bartenders were cool AF. There was another patron with her dog, who was rad AF and bought us drinks. This just felt like a neighborhood hole in the wall that happened to be in Wrigleyville. I'd come here on the reg if I lived here.

The staff were great, with a special shoutout to Emmanuel at the door! Very nice person, especially for someone working door security because they have a rep to be a little more aggressive at times.

To be expected for a Saturday night in a busy area, but just a note for those looking for late night karaoke!

This bar was awesome-- bartender was a guy called Scott who said he'd newly started but actually knew his stuff and converted my "just the one" plan into "I've got to be done at four lagers". Ask him for the Irish jokes-- he beat me at them, had me impressed-- and that's saying something, my Irish joke repertoire is, frankly, formidable. If your an Arsenal or EPL fan or not, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Ten Cat Tavern is pretty divey while being pretty nice at the same time. Kind of has a quiet coolness to it. Lots of cheap drinks and some more expensive stuff as well. As for the drinks it's mostly basic. It's about $6 for a cocktail. The cheapest ones include some pretty cheap whiskey. Also they have cheap cans of PBR. Seems like most people here are drinking beer, and these mostly are in bottles and cans like how a dive bar should. Also has a couple pool tables that somehow fit. The bar is pretty small but the coziness makes it charming though. Pretty clean. The place is dim so it's hard to know for sure. Got to mention for those who couldn't tell by the name that it's also pet friendly. It's usually dogs in here ironically. There's also a jukebox with a good collection of songs, and a few TVs for watching games or things.

I had a Tito's and Soda with lemon because the lime was in one of those plastic squeeze limes. Or there were no beers on tap. For what it lacks there is no shortage of authenticity.
