    A great dive bar with awesome burgers! For a long time this place didn't have an open kitchen but it's back with great food!!! Great bartenders and a great place to stop in for a bite to eat with a drink!

    A nice esquisite tequila drink

    Very cool kind of place. It's unique with old pictures and the half lady hanging from the ceiling. The most important was that the bartender was very nice and had that calm easy going personality that made me comfortable asking for what ever drink. I really enjoy very different kinds of drinks. I don't care so much for bars. But this place was interesting. Locals are very friendly and will talk to you. Loved it. I'll definitely come back.

    Just dropping in to say hello

    See all

    The wings are good and the homemade chips are fantastic. The vibe is exactly neighborhood chill, kinda dark inside but friendly.

    Great neighborhood spot. Staff are kind, beer is cold and the food is always good. The patio is also great to eat outside.

    In some ways it is not much of a bar with not much age, pat Chicago Sports stuff on the wall…read more Dropping my son and his friends off at a local quinceañera, thought I would find a dive bar while I waited, ended up being til midnight. Started to head to the most highly rated place on yelp but the parking lot of Phil's was inviting. Ended up being a wonderfully diverse crowd. WW..E or F, lots of fighting. ...whatever was not my favorite thing to watch, but just trying to hang out and turning off March Madness was not a big deal. But young Joe and I believe his brother run their grandfather's place, this Phil's. Authentic people, Joe a super good guy. People and their scuff mark presence and Joe's good heart and diversity will make this a place of increasing character. Hang out there, and continue to add your character. I will be back.

    Italian Beef Crawl Stop #4:…read more Starting to get slowed down by the volume of beefs and beers, this short trip to the next bar was more than welcome. As we entered there were about two guys in there having an afternoon beer. My friend rolls up and orders a long line of glasses and pitcher after pitcher after pitcher. I commented to him, "This looks like a scene out of a Western flick where the banditos rob the money train and then go in all out buying whiskey!" Some folks picked up the ping pong paddles and started to play a game, still a few more popped in some quarters for Silver Strike Bowling and some others played some pool. I contented myself walking around and chugging out of the small glasses. The outdoors area was sweet with tables and lots of room out in the sun. We did run into some west siders who all had an opinion of where to get good beefs, but Johnnie's would be the next leg of the beef crawl. We probably ended staying here the longest and spent the most money than any other of the bars. We eventually ended up staying at Phil's and then eating Johnnie's at Phil's. The tables were big enough, so there was room for everyone to eat and keep drinking. All in all a decent bar with lots of sports banners, neon lights and cheap beer. A bit far out of my way and nothing compelling to bring me back, but definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

Thankfully, Donny G's met and exceeded my expectation. It's a classic old world Italian restaurant that serves up delicious favorites First, it has a not ambiance. The interior was simple and not pretentious in the best way. They simmmed the lights to prove that perfect atmosphere. On the night I went and they have live music. Second, the food is great. My wife and I tried the grilled octopus and sausage and peppers as appetizers. We loved the texture and of the grilled octopus, it was not rubbery at all. The sausages were flavorful and juicy. For main dishes we ordered spaghetti and meat balls and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both pasta dishes were great. The meatball was flavorful and the Alfredo sauce was classic. For dessert we spit tiramisu and I ordered a do double espresso. The tiramisu was young with a hint of cinnamon. The only downside was that espresso was burnt. Third the service was great. The waiter was nice and our food came out fast. In sum this great Italian restaurant that's worth trip the burbs.
