    We have been coming to Whiting the past four years for Pierogifest and we always start our days…read morehere. The bartender is friendly and we enjoy playing their bowling game before going to the festival. It is usually pretty empty other than regulars but we had fun watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics with the small group. They have a lot of plants and trees near the front window. In 2023 we tried to sit at a table by the window, but my friend accidentally touched a tree when trying to sit down because it was so crowded with plants. Not a problem, right? She didn't snap it in half or knock it over. The owner saw this and started yelling at my friend and kicked us out of the (already empty) bar. Then this year after the festival we went in to have one more beer. The owner again was in there, and we started to play music on their Touch Tunes and we were singing along ( to Bob Marley, the most chill of all music). The owner yelled that this was "not a karaoke bar" and that if we continued to sing she would shut the jukebox off. We continued singing and she turned it off. We left the establishment despite full beers and she locked the door behind us at 10pm on a Saturday. It is clear that the owner of this tired, dirty and rundown bar is not interested in having any patrons other than her regulars, even during the town's biggest events of the year. We enjoyed this hole in the wall in the past, despite the bathrooms being dirty and flooded, despite there being no draft beer, and despite having to clear our own tables. But this was the last straw and we will not be back because the owner is not worthy of our money.

    Well, the three stars depend on what you are looking for. Dive bar? Check. Smoking inside?…read more Check. Pool table? Check. Electronic dart boards? Check. Bathrooms with tp? Check. We were in Whiting for Pierogi Fest and after the parade, it was just bat-shit crazy on 119th. The Clipper, which from the outside looks like it was originally a funeral home, was our refuge. And a place to use the loo. There is absolutely nothing special about this place but it saved me from tragedy. Porta-potty tragedy.

    Stopped here in my old neighborhood on our way home from south Chicago. We were hungry and I was…read morevery happy to see they were still around ! It's been over an hour and I'm now waiting in the car on a not so busy Tuesday night, for my husband to wait for our food, still...... it was pierogi, a sandwich and coleslaw. Not even a well done porterhouse takes this long . Not only that, the staff did not apologize, did not offer something for waiting an hour (not since our arrival, but since we ordered food). Don't come here in a hurry. We won't be back . A nice tip, pierogi shouldn't take an hour or look like they been swimming in a deep fryer that hasn't been cleaned for a month. Also put your fried foods in paper bags instead of styrofoam wrapped in cellophane to keep the oil spill from leaking out ! It Keeps things crisp, costs less, and is better for the environment.

    Fabulous corner tavern and restaurant in charming Whiting, Indiana. This establishment has a great…read moreneighborhood feel with lots of life and character that is a welcome experience to all the cookie cutter new additions out there that just don't reach this level of originality. No matter who you are in life's standing, you'll be welcomed at Center Lounge. The food is home cooking at it's best. Don't like to wait long for your food? You can be patient, get a drink and enjoy yourself but don't rush the cook who's working so hard to keep up with demand. The fish frys on all Fridays are exceptional and quite tasty. Potions are generous and prices are reasonable. Be thankful that Center Lounge is there to bring you a memorable good time with friends and family. Celebrate that you have such a great entertainment and a quality bar food spot within your midst. Patronize your local independent businesses! Center Lounge is highly recommended!

    If you're ever in Hegewish, the southeast corner of Chicago, then you should absolutely make time…read morefor a stop at Old Time Tap. This truly is a neighborhood bar like you might remember from your childhood or that you may only see now in older movies or tv shows set in the 70s or 80s. Everybody knows everybody else. They laugh with each other, get annoyed with the guy who is there a little too long every day (but also love him), and just enjoy leaving their cares outside and being with each other. In that way, as well as the group outings they do and the nondescript exterior, this really is an old time tavern. But, in some ways, that name misses something. The old time may be in the vibe or the original floors or ceilings, but there's something fresh here, from the surprisingly great selection of drinks (at half the price or less of the places up here on the north side), to the way this neighborhood staple has been ushered into the 21st century by its newer owners. We stuck out like a sore thumb but were made to feel at home within 30 seconds. You could feel the family vibe, and it immediately made you wish you had something similar in your neighborhood. And, maybe you can't - there's something that can only come from a bunch of people who have lived in the same corner of the world for decades convening in one spot. I don't know, it was kind of beautiful. Not everyone there has the same views on life, the same income, or the same goals. Some are old timers reveling in their glory days, some are middle aged parents, and some of twenty somethings trying to live their best lives. It didn't matter - it was like one big family reunion. Again, the bartender was incredible, talking to us, answering questions, filling us in on the neighborhood and giving us some tips. There are bars we've been going to in this city for seven years where they may know our names, but where we've never been treated with such kindness and welcoming. I don't know how often we'll get down to Hegewish, which sort of reminded me of the old port neighborhood of Baltimore, Canton. But, I'll tell you what; if we're ever even remotely close, we're going to pop in here. Maybe even make an afternoon of it alongside skipping over to Hammond, IN. Go in and (temporarily) be a part of the family. If you're just looking for a nice place to have a drink, watch a game, listen to some music, and have fun conversation with some locals, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to do it.

There are several restaurants in the area that you can order from that will deliver or you can pick up and eat here with your favorite drink. They have food during special events at times.

    So I really don't recommend this place for anyone, just open minded good people who dont pass…read morejudgement.So stuck up yelpers who think they have standards. Don't read this it's not for you ! So beers are 2.50 and so are shots. Of course not the good stuff,but the good stuff only 5.00 still not bad. I don't think this place has a proper floor who cares ! This bar is truly something out of a Nelson Algren book. I come hear all the time and every time there's something wacky happening here.Weather it's fighting or old ladies getting jiggy with it on the dance floor.Then you have your crazy ladies as well, flashing there tig ol' bitties,your always gonna see something weird in here.The bartenders are extremley down to earth, and security is always on point but then again working there I guess you have to be on point. I love that the bartenders there don't measure out your shots. It's whatever and whats left over they still serve it to you and dont charge you for it. God I love this place. Then the wacky hours come 2-4 am,thats when it starts to get packed and everyone's outta there mind and doing crazy shit. Outta everything going on the bartenders are still on point. Yes people this goes on Monday-Sunday all the time.So if you want one night of debauchery and wackyness just come to the hole.Oh yah just in case they start to shooting there's a side door just run outta there. HA ! HA! HA! Yah this place gets five stars from me. Thank you for the influence behind this lovely review you know who you are :)

    You get what you pay for…read more Drinks are dirt cheap. Shots are dirt cheap. Come to think of it, this place is nothing but dirty. Don't get me wrong, many of my friends go here after hours to get plastered once the clubs or bars close at 2am. If all you want is to drink, drink, and drink, come here. Please note, their beer selection is not great at all... You won't find great music. This is not a swanky place by any means.
