Went the extra mile to get me a Goose Island brew from their sister spot across the way. Beer was good, but it does seem odd for an Irish pub themed joint in Chicago not to serve any drafts that are Chicago craft. Food? Meh. Exceptionally meh. I know it's an airport and it's gonna be greedily overpriced and gouged, but it was no better than a ballpark concession stand. Clearly sat for a while before coming out. Nothing in an airport is going to get a Michelin star, but goddamn try to differentiate yourself if you're a sit down spot vs the food court counter options. Most of those looked better on people's trays. But thanks to Ralph being professional and welcoming, it was not to be judged on food alone.

I have long been curious about this watering hole, assuming it's a blue color / trades / locals joint. I finally dropped in, just to see what condition my condition was in. In short order upon walking in, I spied an unironic t-shirt celebrating 45's inauguration on the wall, a MAGA hat perched prominently upon a shelf, from the Winner's Circle corner of the bar a question is posed regarding whether if Trump was impeached could he still be elected to TWO more terms (!), predictable scoffing about "global warming" due to the recent cold snap, and the "fact" that there are more homes with house chickens than viewers of CNN. Oh, and the colorful term "shines" was freely used regarding the pre-eminent ranking of Michael Jordan. Right here in Chicago. Draw your own conclusions, but this is where The Deplorables feel right at home and among their own kind. The Old Style is $2.50 a bottle and was cold.

Sandwiches were the single smashed cheesie and the tenderizer. Both were served hot and with the seasoned fries which were also very good.

Cleanliness is pretty good, although they could hit the corners and baseboards a little bit better

Not to say it's fancy or anything, but it's a very good newer option for Archer Avenue, with lots of food and drink options. I imagine it's the same menu as the other Cheesie's locations. I got the Melt sandwich, it tasted on par with the food from the North side location. Service was pretty fast, and they have a good amount of seating options. Again, nothing crazy, but it's just good to see Garfield Ridge get a nicer option like this, as a lot of the bars just have drinks and no food, or are just food places. I have friends who live down here, so they often go out on Archer for bdays or events, so I'm glad to see this as a new option, and would definitely vote to stop here for any future events in the area.

Unfortunately, my experience tonight was really disappointing. The DJ they hired on 9/11/2026 would…read morenot take song requests, even though we were there for hours. I understand DJs have their own sets, but refusing to play even one reasonable request felt unnecessarily dismissive. What made it worse was having someone from his group come over afterward to tell me not to do that again, while the DJ doubled down on it. That interaction was incredibly unprofessional and left a really bad impression. They should seriously reconsider hiring this DJ again because, unfortunately, they lost my business tonight--and potentially the business of someone who regularly shares experiences with a social media audience. The one bright spot was Gina, who is truly the BEST server. She was fantastic, and I genuinely hate that this experience means I won't feel comfortable coming back. Gina deserves all the credit in the world for being so wonderful.

Jim-may, my man! Nice place ya got here buddy…read more I was seeking a bar that was roughly halfway between Oak Park & Orland Park (meeting someone, heh heh), and I happened to stumble upon this über-divey treasure. Miller Lite was the only beer they had on tap, but you could get a bucket of it for like a nickel. Hyperbole? Maybe. A 60oz pitcher of the classic domestic swill cost only $5, which is pretty damn tough to beat if you ask me. Liz behind the bar was super friendly and introduced herself not long after I sat down. Once my +1 arrived, Liz was nice enough to make a bag of popcorn that she gave us to munch on. Talk about being given a warm reception! They don't accept Discover and have a $10 minimum on credit card purchases, but for a small operation like this it's to be expected, so I can't fault them for that. Some of the barstools are a teensy bit ripped-up, although in a dive bar setting like this, I find that they truly 'complete the look'. Great homey feel and a jukebox loaded with tons of tunes for 50¢ or a dollar per song. They've got billiards tables and a few slot machines that I imagine get a lot of play from their 'regulars'. They also feature Karaoke on select nights of the week. There's a very tasteful piece of nude art behind the bar, which I'm told is a painted portrait of someone who works there. Being a big fan of all things naked people, I found this to be a nice touch amidst the cans of Old Style and half-empty Smirnoff bottles. ....and unless I'm mistaken, I definitely met/talked to/received free shots from *the* Jimmy of said namesake bar. His taste in Huey Lewis & The News (along with his great taste in hats) didn't go unnoticed. He was hilarious and insisted that I stick around for a while [keep in mind this was at 11pm on a Wednesday], but I had to decline. Lyons is generally off my radar, but for the way I was greeted and taken care of at this establishment, I'd not hesitate for a second to stop back in, if I were to be in the area again.

I work at the Berwyn Library and we host a monthly Trivia Night here [the first Tuesday of most…read moremonths]. The owner and bartenders are so nice to us and our large group. The place is clean, the workers are friendly, and the beer selection is awesome. Our participants regularly stay after the Trivia ends just to hang out. Many of them started hanging out there on non-Trivia nights too. Although they do not have a kitchen, they are more than willing to let you know about takeout options nearby and will facilitate your order and delivery. For example, we get pizza for the Trivia participants from a place down the street. If you want a great neighborhood bar where you can hang out with friends [and even make new friends] in a comfortable atmosphere, you can't go wrong here.
