    Turtle racing
    Lindsey A.

    Went with friends for turtle racing on a Saturday. Not too busy, but a good crowd. Wristbands are for 9:30-12:30, first race starts at 10:30 and they're spaced out from there. They were out of all seltzers which was a bummer, but you can get any well drink or beer with the wristband, so no big deal. Really liked not having to worry about a tab throughout the night. The sort of place with a lot of 2000s club classics playing, but no one dancing, so it's a lot of shouting over the music.

    We paid for the all you can eat and drink turtle racing ticket and oh my gosh did we take advantage of that! The drinks were simple but they were strong and good! The food was really just typical bar food (pizza and byo nachos) but like the food was hot and plenty and accessible for most of the time! The bar tender was incredibly nice, but only one person was working so he was definitely a bit overwhelmed at points. The turtle racing was incredible and you can tell they're very well loved and taken care of! The bar was a bit sticky but clean! They also gave us a special shot at the end for my best friends birthday and made it very special!

    We came here for the turtle races. I mean seriously, you'd probably not come here if it wasn't for those. This is a medium quality college bar. They had a "buffet" of chips, salsa, queso pretzels and pizza. All edible and fine but nothing you couldn't find in the freezer section or a can. The drinks were all fine as well. The service was good and friendly. The turtle races were great. Lots of showmanship. Fun to "bet" on. Worth a look for sure. But don't expect much more.

    Tin Lizzie is a staple among my Detroit Lions fan friends, but I came for the turtle racing on a Friday night. It was extremely frustrating finding information between the bar's website and Yelp, so here it is: Turtle racing is open to the public, but if you want to have a betting card, you need to purchase a ticket. A ticket gets you basic bar food (pizza and nachos) and drink discounts. Turtle races started at 7pm and happened every 20 minutes. The turtles appear to be well loved. Overall, it was an experience.

    Turtles!

    This is one of the most fun and unique Chicago experiences! Come for the bottomless drinks and food.. stay for the turtle racing! It's always such a fun time. Fridays are always rowdier. From 5-9pm you will be drinking all you can drink well drinks, beer and seltzers. They have a good new seltzer addition. Recommend making reservations for your group in the back section near the racing. The racing always starts around the halfway point. And then there's a surprise turtle show.. usually with someone you know inside the turtle costume.

    A memorable experience! I'd recommend everyone check out the Tin Lizzie at some point. The turtle races are something. I really love the indoor/outdoor feeling when they open the place up (see their business photo). Could probably use a bit more wiping down with sticky tables and such but it is a dive bar afterall. Have always enjoyed the drinks!

    Only giving two stars because of the lovely bartender that served us (didn't catch their name)…read more There was however, another bartender (blonde) that seemed to have some issue with my friend and I being in the bar. We came in around 1:15am, thinking this would be a cool bar to end the night. The first bartender informed us that last call was approaching. We only wanted one round, so we immediately closed out after ordering. That bartender was very attentive and pleasant during the entire transaction. At 1:50am, the other bartender (who wasn't even serving us/hadn't spoke to us) came over and said we needed to start chugging. Her words: "I'm not going to tell you to get the f* out, but you need to chug". She kept telling us we needed to chug, and I kindly told her I wasn't chugging anything because we already paid and I can literally just leave. She brought up the bar closing soon (we already heard the very loud announcement for last call). She proceeded to blame it on having a bad day. Mind you, someone next to me literally just came in, and was being served. She tried to back out of it and kept repeating we'll know when it's time to go. I'm not sure what kind of establishment this is, but she didn't say anything to anyone else but us, the only two Black women at the bar at the time. I don't understand why she felt like it was okay to direct her "bad day" at us, sitting there calmly with two half drunken beers, while there were plenty of other people still up and active at the bar. The behavior displayed, completely unacceptable.

Ten Cat Tavern is pretty divey while being pretty nice at the same time. Kind of has a quiet coolness to it. Lots of cheap drinks and some more expensive stuff as well. As for the drinks it's mostly basic. It's about $6 for a cocktail. The cheapest ones include some pretty cheap whiskey. Also they have cheap cans of PBR. Seems like most people here are drinking beer, and these mostly are in bottles and cans like how a dive bar should. Also has a couple pool tables that somehow fit. The bar is pretty small but the coziness makes it charming though. Pretty clean. The place is dim so it's hard to know for sure. Got to mention for those who couldn't tell by the name that it's also pet friendly. It's usually dogs in here ironically. There's also a jukebox with a good collection of songs, and a few TVs for watching games or things.

I shouldn't be unkind: one of the bar tenders was attentive. The other just stared straight in my friend's face and said "huh?" when she ordered her drink, then vaped in front of us, and took a photo shoot. I've never seen an entire clientele try to be located so far from the bar in my life. Can't possibly be helping the bottom line when no one wants to congregate in the very place you're supposed to be making money.
