A solid no frills local bar with cheap drinks. If you're in the Bridgeport neighborhood looking for a watering hole, look no further. Friendly bar tenders, nice talkative patrons and live music once in a while. If you are looking for High Life on tap and well shots of whiskey, you found your spot. They don't serve food but they have pretzels on request.

While doing our bloody Mary Sunday tour of Bridgeport that consists of three bloody Mary's in three establishments in Bridgeport we found Bernice's to be A # one ! We got cheese salami olives pickled okra marinated carrots all at a reasonable price of $6. How do they do it?. The atmosphere is an old school Bridgeport dive bar yet sanitary. Great place to stop while in the neighborhood. Highly recommendededededed.

Simply one of the most excellent places in chicago to be, period. Great drinks. My friend celebrated his birthday here and the owner celebrated with us. One of the fellow patrons gifted us his lighter for the birthday candles. The lighter fluid has run out since then, but the warmth of kindness remains

Chicago dive bar. What you see is what you get. CASH ONLY! If you're looking for an umbrella in your drink don't go.

Talk about a fun and welcoming neighborhood favorited of mine! Stop By!
Calling this place a "dive-bar" is a disservice. It's a family run neighborhood bar with the works. Good music (from an awesome preloaded jukebox), a fair selection of beer, wines, and spirits, friendly and quick service, and a very laid back and welcoming atmosphere. The mood definitely gets more upbeat and rowdy(in a good way) when there are things like bingo (Stingo) or live music performances going on, but even when those aren't happening, you can bet there's an interesting film being played on their TV. The owner Steve runs a tight ship, and it shows. I urge anyone passing by or new to the area to come grab a beer on a weekend or weekday night (except Tuesdays because I don't think they're open those days). You're guaranteed to run into the colorful characters that make up the Bridgeport community. I live in the Midway area, and the drive to get here is more than worth the trip. Stop by, grab a beer, order some Japanese food from next door (or tacos across the street) and start a conversation. You'll be hooked immediately and won't regret it ✨

Never ate here so not giving a rating on the food. Other than that, this place is one of the best dive bars I've been to. Good selection of beers, great bartenders and just a good atmosphere of people. Prices are pretty decent. Won't break the bank drinking here.
