Hey, why no reviews for Homer's?!…read more I've only been here during the day for family gatherings (we like to party!), so I don't know what the crowd is like at night. Homer's is a pretty cool neighborhood dive bar. I always have a good time here and the drinks are cheap! I paid about $9 for THREE drinks (Miller Light, Stella and a Bloody Mary). That's how much you pay for one drink in my hood. The bartender even made the delicious Bloody from scratch! This place is out of the way for me, but my family is from the "Back-A-Da-Yaaaahds" so I will always be back to hang with them!

Thursday's are super super super friendly come thru and you will find out. Leave the ladies at home.read more

Hidden Gem of a Dive Bar. If you're looking for an alternative to Maria's in Bridgeport, just to…read moremix it up, this place is perfect. Also a fantastic place to bar hop. Cash only. Mildly sticky floors (But in the good dive bar sort of way), overpopulated wall decorations, and friendly looking bar people who've been curating the classic rock playlist since before George Bush ran for president.

Upon initial arrival, I'm not gonna lie - I was a little hesitant. Dive bars are my thing, but this…read moreone reminded me of one of those hillbilly country bars with sparse options in liquor and potentially boring vibes. One other bar patron was in. No music was playing. However...within five minutes, I could already tell I was going to like it here. Steve, who I later found out was the owner, was very hospitable & friendly, turning on music, catering to my silly request to see the stop light colors change, etc. Eventually, more people started arriving at the bar, including live music. Everything fell into place. It became a really great experience, where people were all friendly and welcoming. Bathroom was clean. Bar was clean. ATM works perfectly (it's a cash only bar). I love good bars and "good vibes" (and hate the phrase good vibes but whatever it works here ) and if the shoe fits, hey, enjoy it while you can! Oh and disclaimer - nothing wrong with a hillbilly bar, I tend to meet the best people at these hole in the wall establishments who've, ya know, actually lived their lives and have rich stories to share If I'm back in Chicago, this'll be a place I'll try to visit again. If you're local, better check it out. I'm an expert, trust me

Good Southside bar in Chicago…read more This is a nice bar with a newly renovated inside. They have a lot of cool memorabilia on the walls. Lots of White Sox, Bears, and Irish stuff. The beer selection was pretty good. All of the basics you would expect. They had free pretzels and cheese balls, too. The service was great and the bar tenders were very friendly. The only problem is that this place is cash only. Come prepared.

The owners are very personable and I had good times each time I've been. They get busy, have a bar that fills up and some tables and booths along the back corner. They do pop ups for food and allow you to bring food in to eat as well. I live in the area and this place will be in rotation. Great place to check out before a show at Ramova or just to go to for a dope drink and great conversation.

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.
