    Service and conversation was absolutely amazing!!! Can't wait to come back. The staff is absolutely amazing!

    This spot is definitely on my dive bar radar. It has all the things that make a dive bar great. It's small and cozy. It's full of regulars & locals. It's dark with a pool table and a couple video games. And the patio/parking lot is as cozy as the bar itself. I wasn't there for a long time, but sure as heck had a good time.

    Perfect for group outdoor seating. It was mad people smoking cigarettes . But I sucked it up for the group. Nice sangrias. The inside was freezing cold. Would come back if I was forced and/or a smoker

    White Sangria -$6

    One of the best kept "secrets" on the Northwest side of town. This is a no frills place but drinks are good and fairly inexpensive. The white sangria was delicious. I highly recommend it if you like a sparkling wine drink that's not too sweet. Although a small bar, there's indoor and outdoor seating. They don't serve food but patrons can order in through Uber Eats or pizza or subs from nearby places that deliver. No matter how swanky or grungy, a bar is what you make of it. I suggest going here if you want to just hang out after work, catch up with friends, or don't want to be bothered with big crowds.

    They pay homage to Swayze here!

    Best sangria!! You can't beat the price either -$7!!! Great service. Interesting decor too. Sure wish I lived close.

    Came here for the first time to have some drinks in memory of our fallen friends. It's a small place, I passed it up on accident I don't think there's an actual sign for the place the only reason I was able to tell is because they have an outside patio area and you could tell it belonged to a bar. I noticed food and water bowls on the ground when I was going into the bar I figured it was one of those dog friendly places l, I later found out they were for stray cats. The owner definitely has a thing for cats because cat decorations were everywhere which is fine by me because I'm a cat person. Over all it's a nice place and I liked that it didn't get packed I hate when you're at a bar that's elbow to elbow and takes 30 minutes to get a beer.

    For a neighborhood bar it's awesome. Affordable and great place to chill and have a drink. Has pool and great craft beer. Great service and special events

    Ask the Community - Sassafras

    What are the upcharges on the receipt?

    Up charges are for drinks like an old fashioned, Moscow mule, or margarita. The price varies depending on which spirit is used. So it is rung in the computer as base spirit plus up charge. Hope that helps!

    Is smoking allowed? Want to know if I can enjoy a cigar or not.

    Smoking is allowed on the patio.

    They have a better-than-average (especially for Oak Forest) wine selection, tasty sangrias, and liquor on the way.
