I've only been twice. The first time, the service took FOREVER! The second time, the service took FOREVER! Also, while I enjoy a little shit from the staff at some places, it's usually best, following prompt service. The Burger I had was pretty decent, and I was very happy with the beer selection, but the prices were just not that great. read more

Very laid-back place on a residential street, with nice food and an interesting beer (and cider) selection. I also live in the nabe (4 blocks west) and had a great hard cider (from Michigan) and some good mini fried pickle cheeseburgers last eve. There were several more substantial food choices and an apple-strawberry crumble that looked good, but that'll have to wait til next time. read more

My burger was burnt but since we were on a tight schedule needing to get home back to kc, i ate it anyways!!! The service was horrible we got our oen water and menus. I will never ever ho back!!!! read more

I was bullied into a larger tip, yet refused...what is this place? I will certainly never go back as there are enough solid beer bars around. The owner(s) need to wake up and check on the staff. There is a particuliar virus with an attitude behind the counter...you aren't ENTITLED to 20% guy... read more

The food at Small Bar is good as always. The service when my friend and I went there to have dinner on the patio this summer was sub-par. Our beers came in a very untimely fashioned, even though the bar was not crowded. A gigantic fly flew into my beer immediately after I got it (and 5 minutes after my friend's beer came out) so I asked for a new one. The server asked if I could just pick it out. I said no. Another man brought out a new beer and then condescendingly explained to me that if it happens again there is nothing they can do, it is just the risk of sitting on the patio. I explained, "Yeah, I get it, if it was a fruit fly, no problem, but it's a gigantic house fly." He then aggressively said, "But you understand, right?!?" Ok, dude. Chill. That beer was on draft, and though you are charging $6, it isn't actually costing you that much. Except this Yelp review. The food also came out in a mismanaged way, our appetizer arriving approximately 1 minute before our entrees. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots in the city... Personable staff, pretty good bar food, and a rotating draft list second to none. And of course, with guys like JJ and Eric behind the bar, you're bound to return... read more

If you don't like the small bar, you are probably dead and should hurry yourself to a doctor immediately. The owner drives down to get an organic happy cow somewhere in indiana and then drives the dead cow up here and hacks it up to make delicious burgers. Everyone that works there is fantastic, and it's a block from my house, so that's nice too. They're going to have a patio soon. Really! read more

This used to be my favorite pub in Chicago but then they got rid of the steak sandwich, which is the only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five. Bring back the steak sandwich! read more

much more of a neighborhood crowd than the one on division. lots and lots and LOTS of beers to choose from. plus soccer on the tv!

Diamond in the rough. Walking past this place you would think it was just another dive bar. What you can't see is the awesome patio area that allows pets. It's become our Sunday night go to place. Awesome cheers curds washed down with $2 Hamms.....can't beat this it read more

My friend just moved around the corner from this bar, but I can't really say if we'd make this a regular hangout spot or not. The bartender was apologetic and running her butt off yesterday because the bar was packed and understaffed, so she was great. I just don't understand what the point of a patio is if you can't smoke back there. read more

This bar is all that I've ever wanted in a bar, with the exception of the price. For example, did you know that you can get a Johnny Walker Black at Small Bar, off the beaten path in the middle of Logan Square, for the same $7.00 that tourists pay for the same drink at swanky ass downtown Morton's? Something about that just doesn't seem right. read more

This is a great little place with an excellent beer selection. Good music when I was there and very friendly staff. I will definitely go back! read more

This is our go to neighborhood place for dinner and drinks and it never disappoints. Amazing beer menu, the food is consistently delicious and the service is wonderful. The do a great job rotating the draft beer list and bringing in great beers from local breweries. Go tos are the buffalo chicken sandwich, veggie burger and pulled pork sandwich and nachos. The patio is a perfect place for a warm summers evening and a great, quiet space to eat outside. read more

Small Bar has a really cute patio. It's dog friendly and the staff are amazing. They have an excellent selection of drinks and specials. The Thursday night .75 wings are fanflippingtastic. Plus the guacamole and salsa are extremely tasty. I highly recommend this placw. read more

This Small Bar location is way better at night then location on Division if you don't want to hang out with a bunch of trixies. They have a good beer list, and how many other bars serve TATER TOTS? read more

bartender jon can be a bit surly, but he's always reliable on tuesdays for $1 miniburgers. great draft beer selection, and tasty food.

The GREAT BURGERELLE FAiLED THIS IS NOT THE BEST BURGER IN CHICAGO. No 11.00 burger its more like a 5.00 burger. This was by far the dryest burger I've ever had the only thing that was wet and soaked was the lettuce they put on it. It was like they just cleaned the lettuce and threw it on to my burger. My fries burnt and no season for season fries. The service was slow but got our food honestly pretty quick. My vodka and cranberry was on point and the sweet potato fries were pretty good also. The out door patio is pretty tight and the guy in back of me as he got out droped his 10.00 beer from bumping into the table and knocking that shit down splashed all over my 300.00 ed hardy purse. It splashed on to it. They have somethings to change before being the best burger. The burger tasted like a Russels Barque hamburger off their menu but russels has a classic cheeseburger. Try it oneday and see for yourself. read more

I really want to like this bar. It's a block from my house. But they've burned my food on several occasions, and the bartenders can be real ass holes. It looks good on paper, but they don't execute. read more

Great beer list. Very interesting. Outstanding pub food. Good veggie options. Not super quick, but meh. Solid neighborhood spot, and worth a trip actually. read more

Love this bar. So many great things about it. One of the best is that it is near the Kennedy so it's a great place for friends who live north and south to meet in the middle. Parking is generally great as is the food and drink of course! Wish they hadn't closed so many Chicago neighborhood bars like this one. read more

Great pub food, great atmosphere! The bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable about their beer/liquor selection, and they usually have 12 or so beers on draft at any one time. And, as it's a neighborhood bar, if they see you walking home, they sometimes poke their heads out and say hello. read more

Loved this place! Went here with my family before the holidays and had an all around great experience. Everything from the location, to the beer selection, to the amazing food, and friendly wait staff. The waitress was very knowledgeable in their beer menu and helping my parents find something they would enjoy. The beer battered cheese curds was by far the best thing on their menu. Incredible! I ordered the burger which was really tasty and not too heavy. All around wonderful dining experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

will aways be my neighborhood bar the beer,food,and bartenders are super awesome. my first time in there last month and within 5 mins i knew the bartenders and had conversations with them never came across this in chicago once in a bar. it felt like i was joining a huge happy drunk family it felt good :) read more

There is not much more you can ask for in a neighborhood bar: Great beers, awesome staff and incredible food! Three words - Pulled. Pork. Nachos. oh... and best wings EVER. They are tucked in a residential area, which keeps them away from the yuppies and full of neighborhood folk. Their outside seating is perfect during the summer and definitely necessary. It gets extremely hot during the summer. read more

love this place usually....buttttt... where da pintz at?? ive gotten sissy 12oz pours of everything recently. probably some weak management decision. youre killing your business fyi, let your boss know guys! pint glass = draft pour read more

Seriously wonderful neighborhood bar. Incredible beer selection with varied and affordable rotating drafts, delicious food, friendly staff, welcoming setting. Everything I'd ever want in a great bar (the patio is also really lovely in the warmer months!) read more

One of the worst bars i have ever been to due to the the barenders, they are so rude! A few friends and I came here on a Thursdaynight to meet up some of our friends who were already there all afternoon i might add and are from out of town. once me and and my friends arrived the bartenders asked all of us for our ID's. one of my friends who is an identical twin forgot her ID, 4 out 5 times when this happens usually the bartenders let it slide since its obvious if one is of age so is the other ( yes this happens alot guys )! So not only did this bartender not give my friend a drink due to her not having her ID which is totally understandable, but he also made sure she wasnt allowed to stay in the bar once so ever. Both batenders in the back whispering one thing to another obviously talking and pointing at our crowd made sure if anyone at our table had a drink they visibly had to show there ID each time and sit right in front of the bartenders. We thought this was ridicoulus so those of us that got there later decided to leave, but before we left we made sure to buy our friend a drink as a " sorry we couldnt stay long but heres drink to make it up" as my friend paid for her drink one of the bartenders started yell " wheres the drink you had? it must be drank here at the bar! ". At this point we were all pretty annoyed by this bartender and my friend who didnt have her ID was no longer in the bar, so wheres was the problem? Argueing back and forth my friend and this bartender we grabbed her and we left, as we proceeded to leave the bartender yelled "get them out!" (we were litterally by the door by this time ). Outside we were saying our goodbye's to those who decided to stay the bartender and his sidekick followed us stood outside and said " the EXIT is that way!" .my friend went back inside and she later called us and said they got kicked ou for bringing us. Seriously the most rudest people i have ever met! Oh yea and we are a bunch of girls!! if i can give this bar ZERO stars i would! NEVER AGAIN!!!! Bartenders need a reality check!!! read more

great bar and wonderful pulled pork nachos, but it is NOT dog friendly!!
