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.

Small World but big flavors haha!! I am snob for certain things and hot wings are one. They had…read morevery very good hot wings in my expert opinion, the sauce was perfect and they were pretty crispy just like I like. I did also order fish tacos for my wife which she enjoyed and some mozzarella sticks too which were subpar to be honest but I still ate them haha. When you walk in you see a pretty long spacious bar area, and the dining space which was a good size for the building size. I am a big TVs to watch at the bar guy and they didn't have very many in there, I have a better set up in my basement. The bartender was quick and attentive while I waited for my order, that was a plus. A down side is the parking lot area isn't very organized and will have you parking in the neighborhood. As a whole Small World Inn Bar and Grill is a nice spot for some good eats and I assume some good drinks. I definitely will be back to get wings!!! Check them out when you are in the area. Rodney Out!!

I just walked in one day and I don't even live in the area. I was greeted by the co-owner and wife. She was so friendly and attentive. I found out the owner was a Vet and immediately I felt a kinship because Im one also. The atmosphere was so calm when I was there and the decorative aspects were better than most bars that you find in north Chicago. Did I mention the bloody mary station? You get the bloody mary ( or bloody maria) , then go soft or hard with the garnish. Imagine every combination you want and It's there. Love this place.

I've also enjoyed the Chicago beef sandwich, chicken wings, fried pickle chips, churro bites and more. They have a fabulous beer selection and offer pairing suggestions in the menu. Spacious interior and lovely outdoor patio. It's a great place to relax, enjoy a nice meal, and watch sports.

I made the best of it, though, and tried out their Brussels sprouts and pretzel bites. Both were good, although the sprouts had a slight edge.

A lot of great cocktails to choose among. There's also some things to eat but it's usually just things that are greasy. Basically this bar has a more mature crowd. It's great if not wanting to run into those who are about to pop a cap in the ass of someone. There's also limited hours so it's harder to get in whenever. A place that really limits when to go. This makes it harder to communicate with employees about events or other things. It's about $10 for a basic cocktail. The food is pretty basic, just things from the fryer to be honest. It's about $7 for an appetizer. They have the basics like onion rings. For sure there's a lot of events. It's located on 183rd Street at Kedzie. They're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

A nice group of older men and women. Some of the bartenders aren't the friendliest, hence the removal of a star, but they make pretty good drinks. The food was good, I had the fried chicken and fish. Parking is ample and security is friendly. I will definitely attend when I can.

New review - back for first time in a year, nothing open for breakfast but Stadium so giving it a…read moretry. New menu with a variety of skillets and other items, I try the southwest skillet with steak, peppers, cheese, avocado and jalapeño. This skillet has potential, presentation and flavors were good, will really improve once the kitchen staff is trained on what a jalapeño is, how to cook it, and what proper portion sizing is. Came out looking great, half an avocado on top made nice presentation. Each of the first few bites had jalapeño in it, that's more than I might find in an entire meal ... so I started counting. Each of my first 20 bites had jalapeño, an amount that for most would have made the rest of the meal inedible and left them pleading for buckets of water. As an experiment, I went through looking for more, and I pulled out more than a full jalapeño from the rest of the meal. The fact some slices were charred and some raw says one thing about poor execution, but the fact a breakfast skillet was served with close to two whole jalapeño in it means the cooking staff does not know what to do with this. Manager was very appreciative of the comment, waitress said a person the night before had the jalapeño cornbread and went through 3 glasses of water to survive. I have had bad luck with this place before, but the manager and staff really seemed to be working hard today, will give it another try this week and hope to be able to get this up to a 3-star. Previous review - Had not been back here in a year, bad customer service experience that time so I stayed away until now. Well, different year and I can't qualify the experience as bad, since I never interacted with anyone. I was seated by myself, then four more seated in the same area in the next 10 minutes. 1 waiter and 1 waitress for 5 tables, very manageable. In the next 10 minutes the waiter made it to 2 tables, the waitress 1, my table and one other ignored. I waited 20 minutes with no service of any kind so I left, the other table that was ignored left as well. I walked over to Burger brothers in the casino only to find they were closed, so I went to the buffet and they were closed also at 6pm on a Monday. Three tries to eat dinner, three strikes, a 1-star because I can't do zero.
