A place where you can come after work to wind down. FYI. You can bring in your own food. I had an amazing time and enjoyed watching people get up and dance. My 2nd visit was coming here to watch Tha Bears play The Packers. The atmosphere was such a good vibe. Everyone is always friendly

I have enjoyed Casa Humilde beer at the "by the ounce" District Brew Yards, so last weekend I was…read moreexcited to finally visit the stand-alone Casa Humilde location in suburban Forest Park. Our party of four happened to visit during their 1-year Anniversary celebration. Their outdoor patio was bumpin' with a live DJ as we were savoring pitchers of their award-winning beer - Maizal (Mexican style lager) and Pinata (hazy pineapple IPA). They were not serving the regular food menu that day, but thanks to their cool-looking "train engine" grill they were serving tasty carne asada platters. The staff was very outgoing throughout our visit and should be proud of the cerveceria.

All of the beer on the flight was tasty. My fave was the pinata that had pinneapple in it. For food, I went with the chicken quesadilla dinner. The chicken was only ok, but overall the food was super tasty. The rice and beans were very flavorful. The beans were more of a pinto bean soup. Parking is a little strange. A couple of spots in front, more across the street. They turned their parking lot into a patio. However, very close to public transit.

Grown and Sexy Atmosphere. A casual neighborhood cocktail bar that has a full bar serving specialty cocktails and well made drinks and small food plates. FYI... Meter parking along the streets.

I ordered The Morton drink and it gave me a nice smooth buzz. Great Location, Prices were decent and the service was amazing. Will be coming back to see if they ordered the other star.

I used to work in a neighborhood bar like this and it's so nostalgic for me.

Much preferred to several other similar establishments in the area.

Sally recommended to me the shrimp ceviche ($15.95) which was very good and so fresh. There is a huge variety of salads and sandwiches, very hard to choose. I am glad we got the ceviche, it was a huge portion with lots of fresh shrimp and cilantro. It was more than enough for two people to share. I really admire the restoration of this old bar, it is quite beautiful and has some gorgeously restored copper ceilings. Would definitely come back here again.

Let's put it this way, there was nearly a fight in the parking lot when I was there, and the cops had to be called to break it all up. They have the standard bar drinks. Maybe one craft beer, but nothing special there. And no food. The staff is nice enough, especially if you're a regular. If it's your first time in, then just be your friendly self and you'll be fine. This is by far the diviest dive bar in the area. You're kinda taking your life into your hands coming here (alright, not really true, but it can feel like it). Other bars in the area (along Madison Ave or up closer to the Green Line stop) are going to be a little nicer, friendlier and you're probably less likely to get hepatitis.

They could make this bar so much more then what it is but it was a laid back chill environment that might just really been known to the locals.

They do not serve food but i heard rumors that you can get food from across the street and bring it there to eat and drink but idk. Drinks are decent so I am ready to go back

Be sure to check out their daily specials or stop in for Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-6pm) for extra discounts. For drinks, we started with the Hugo Spritz, Jalapeño Ginger Lime Spritz, and Prickly Pear Spritz. The Hugo Spritz was my favorite of the night and was super east to drink on a hot day. For food, we shared their famous DuckFat Fries which comes with three dipping sauces. I loved the Garlic Aioli and Chipotle Ketchup but wasn't the biggest of the Mexican Pesto. For entrees, we got a mixture of items. I got the Cheeseburger Sliders but asked for Onion Crisps instead of Caramelized. This was the perfect portion. For me after already sharing fries. My friends got a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Fish Tacos, and Fire Alarm Burger. Everything tasted great but my friend didn't think her burger was too spicy. Overall, I loved the casual atmosphere of FatDuck. Their menu has so many options that there always would be something new to try. Pricing was a little high but portions were very large to offset costs. Highly recommend!
