The bartender who served us was extremely friendly and welcoming. We talked about our holidays and where we were visiting from and before we left we were complimented with a free shot on the house! Daily specials are displayed and after five draft beers our total was $20-not too shabby. If you're looking for a small place to pop into for a cold one or to hide from the spouse, this is the place!

Total Hidden Gem in Irving Park…read more From the outside, you might think you know what you're getting into. But the second you step through the door, all assumptions go out the window. The Unforgettable Bar is a masterful clash of vibes: it's part neighborhood sports dive, part old-timey classic Chicago hang, and completely brilliant. The owners have taken an old 70s bar and treated it with an incredible amount of respect, keeping it spotless while injecting an absolute ton of personality. What really blows me away are the intentional, thoughtful touches everywhere you look. In a world where customer service often feels like an afterthought, the hospitality here makes you feel immediately valued. It's rare to find a spot that nails the details this well while keeping the music great and the energy totally unpretentious. Huge hats off to the owners--you've built something truly special here. A perfect neighborhood joint with a soul.

Some day, a Logan Square hipster whose nose for craft beer is as a bloodhound's for deer will cross…read morethe tracks and realize that they have Revolution Anti-Hero and Gold Cross on tap here. If they bring volume geometry skills with them, they might be disappointed to realize that the consistently short pours here are much closer to 12 oz. (i.e. bottle/can size) than the full pint typical of draughts east of the tracks. Might as well settle for bottles and cans. But, a better reason to come here is because it's the kind of solid, friendly neighborhood bar which is becoming increasingly scarce to the east and it's not at all seedy like some spots on the western fringe of Logan Square that you might walk past to get here. Recently rehabbed from its prior incarnation as Trier's Lads, this is easily the best-kept bar within at least a mile west past Weegee's on Armitage. With numerous TVs there's not a bad seat in the house for watching a game (or horses at off-peak hours). Though Hermosa is a predominantly Latino neighborhood, English is the dominant language amongst the white & blue collar mix here, and this is your place to go if your Spanish isn't ready for La Posada across the street. So that's what they do here, they provide a social setting, they show sports on the television, and they serve beer. Friends for the friendless, drunkenness to the sober. If you happen to need something more, you can snack on the tasty plantain chips from La Casa Del Jibaro, stare at the disco ball, or reach into the box of free condoms provided courtesy of the Chicago Community Condom Project.

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.

Just as well, because the place is kind of grimy. There won't be any gross taps. It's about $7 for a cocktail. Most people seem to stick to basic stuff like beer and whiskey. Even so, they can make fancier cocktails. They can even make a mojito. Good place for watching a game. It often has drink specials and events like game nights.
