The drinks are strong and delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and split them and it was good but nothing fancy or authentic/ethnic in flavor (regular corporate bar food if that makes sense). Service was excellent and prices are decent. Plenty of free parking in the lot next door. Open late so that's pretty great!

The sauce is incredible, the burger is very reasonably priced, and we always appreciate how welcoming and genuinely kind the staff are.

Terrific neighborhood bar in Norwood Park with a rooftop patio open through the summer…read more I came here to catch up with a friend during the week and we took advantage of their $6 margarita special. The bar food is really good and the pricing is just right. We really enjoyed the tots, tenderloin sliders and wings. Theres a TV to watch games on the rooftop too. Service was swift and we enjoyed the casual vibe. Parking is streetside only but I didn't have trouble finding a space.

Good place for cheap drinks. It's about the best thing anyone can say about it. Rex Tavern is one…read moreof the local dive bars in Jefferson Park. Also it's convenient to the Metra so you can hop up here. The hours are kind of weird. A place like this is mostly for locals. It's pretty convenient to get to by public transportation though because it's close to the Metra station. This is also close to Jefferson Inn, another local place for cheap drinks and good times. Lots of beers on draft and plenty more in bottles and cans. There's usually some kind of specials on drinks or whatever. Last time it was $5 Jack cocktails. The food menu is limited to chips and stuff. For sure it's a good place to get drunk on the cheap. It's just not open Sundays for some reason. That's the only bad thing.

Very chilled little bar in a weird location on Peterson, about a block west of Clark Street…read more Barrelman is located on the short stretch of Peterson that is between Clark and Ridge. If you are like me, trying to make that light, you will never see this place, but it is there and it is super cute. There is a lot of dark wood that just gives the space a cozy feel. There are also two garage doors that I assume can be opened when the weather is good. For you folks with dogs, beer drinkers who drink beyond the basic beers, bubble drinkers (like me) and those that want to bring in their own food...this is your place. We went there to meet some friends and to watch some football. For such a small place, they do have plenty of TVs with multiple games going. It was great to be able to have pizza delivered, with the bartender providing paper plates, and napkins for us to use. The bartender was also very cool about bringing our drinks over or picking up empties as we were sitting a a table away from the bar. I didn't get his name, but he was cool. There is street parking but not on Peterson itself. I would say, depending on the day, it might be hard to find a spot as you have to park on Ridge or some of the side streets. There is a new Metra station down the street that is about 2 blocks from the bar. Not sure if there is public parking available, but worth checking out. I could see myself coming here just because I can bring my own food and still get bubbles. While they do not carry bubbles by the bottle, the stuff they had in the can was good. I would love to go there when the weather is nicer and they have the garage doors open. And it is a happy compromise to hanging out with friends who have dogs that they just can't live without who also like to drink. This is a place we can definitely hang out with them and have a good time.

Have to say it's not much to look at. The drinks are the main thing. Basic looking bar in a mostly residential area. It's the second home for a lot of regulars who live around here. That makes sense. Not a whole lot else is around. Of course they won't ever have to worry about parking. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and mixed with whatever. Basic. There's free popcorn. Good prices compared to other bars. It's located on Higgins at Major. The closest transportation center is the Jefferson Park station.

The reason we love this place is because the place is nice and modern with a nice comfy decor, they have an EXCELLENT whiskey and bourbon selection amongst all other spirits, but mostly because of the SERVICE! The staff, from the owner to each of the bartenders, they treat you like a long time friend. The drinks pack a punch and the ambiance is always upbeat. They strive to provide different events weekly and even nightly. They have a back patio for private parties or you can host your event inside. This place is just great, but Uber since parking is street parking and common sense dictates you should. See you there, and let's enjoy a drink!

We walked in and noticed that the crowd was nonexistent, even though there was a football playoff broadcast on all of its screens. There was the bartender and one other fellow, who might have been the manager or just a pal of the bartender. My love and I each chose a Revolution draft beer, and were a bit taken back that the total tab was a shade over $20 for our two beers. Frankly with the lack of ambience at this neighborhood dive bar attempting to be a sports bar or a hip downtown-ish establishment, it was a bit uncomfortable sitting at the bar. Needless to say, we did not stick around to experience the Saturday "DJ Night" as touted on its website.
