Lemme tell you about this place. Walk in, immediately get hit in the nose with a distinct armpit smell. Just like home. Service was beautiful. My drink was free cause my buddy paid. And I gave the food a 5 star cause I drink my carbs, shout out to modelo. Live music was gas. Buddy was getting busy on a XXL Cello. Come here for a time.

Best dive bar in Bridgeport, hands down. Cash only. No food, but you can bring it in if ya want it. PBR and a shot for 7 bucks rings true to the casual drinker. Great for meeting new friends and old. All the bartenders are truly kind And fun to chat with. Owner is an all around nice guy and fun to chat with. Great music nights, Stingo and just a great vibe for Sox games. Can't ask for more. Never seems to get so crowded you can't get a beer, just right.

I don’t normally use the term “dive bar” but I believe that’s what this place would call itself. It’s a spectacular dive bar. It’s very reminiscent of most small neighborhood Chicago bars of years past. Cheap drinks, nice people, and live music.

Best manhattans I've ever had, and for the price it's even better! Definitely will come back again.

One of the best dive bars in the area. Very cool atmosphere and they have live music. Also very cheap drinks. Recommend if you're ever in the area

This bar is life changing. Instantly welcoming and honest. I walked out of there a changed man, felt i was taller too. Rare to experiance such an exquisite bar these days. An Honour.
The owner is incredibly kind, soft spoken and professional.

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.
