Good bar with nice decor and good specials.Before 6p every day everything is half off and there are rotating specials daily.There's an outdoor patio and a pool table up front. Don't think in could ask much more from a neighborhood bar.

Very chill and relaxing bar to hang out. There wasn’t any food available but that was OK. We just came to have a drink and watch some of the Michigan game. Nice and clean plenty of tables. There was also a pool table at the front and restrooms in the back.

This is a very fun spot tucked away in Wicker! The happy hour deals were absolutely insane. We got 4 margaritas for $15!! Felt like I was back in a college town. There is a fun pool table right at the front that you can play at as well. Overall very chill and vibey with the music and lights! Would definitely go back again.

i will never go back. service was ok. clientele--especially at the pool table--really sketchy and ignorant.

Stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of drinks and games of pool. The bartender was super friendly and the drinks were decent. They played good music in the background. It's a dollar in quarters per game of pool. We enjoyed our time here!

Really chill vibe upon walking in this spot about 8pm on a Monday. The bar is very dark on the inside. I guess that's where the name comes from, lol. There were 3 of us. 1 friend's bill was about $25 for 2 drinks. The other bill for 2 of us was about $50 for 4 drinks. The drinks were decent. I did get a nice buzz. I think it's worth mentioning that I was on an empty stomach. There was a female bartender. She was nice. I'd go back for their happy hour when everything is half off. I can see parking being an issue during busier times.

Been to this location a couple times and always love the ambiance here. Always very chill with pool players (and the occasional adorable dog).I was hangout out here after I drank a drink from Wake n Bakery and was feeling super zooted. But I was watching so many different movies while drinking on the cocktail the bartender made especially for me. I just asked for something sweet and she delivered. Love that they were playing The Barbershop, Harry Potter, and Now You See Me, just to name a few movies.I remember I came another time and ordered a purple drink and it was delicious. Forgot the name of it, but def recommend it when I figure out what it is.

Such a good happy hour! 1/2 off Monday-Saturday and $3 beer and seltzers on Tuesday. Good patio on division and bartenders are so nice!
Out of many bars ive been to in the northside, this is my Favorite bar in the city. I've been coming here almost a year for once a week and the bartenders are fantastic, especially Adrian. I come all the way from the southside to this establishment. Although I would love to see another pool table in the back & bring back the food they used to have.

The first time I came here I ordered two stiff drinks that were pretty good. The lady bartender was nice. She gave me change. The second time I came here was very unpleasant. One of the guys playing pool started saying rude things to me and asking me non stop questions without letting me answer. When I mentioned it to the guy bartender, he pretended he could not hear me. The music also kept going out which was very annoying. But it’s obvious that he could hear me as there wasn’t even music on.

BH has been a wonderful neighborhood bar for many; Unfortunately as time passes you realize many of its regulars / staff are sleazy, toxic and unsafe. The owner (and other regulars) can be handsy with female customers, which is uncomfortable and unasked for at best. The pool playing community is a respawn location for men and boys to measure their dick, very obnoxious and unwelcoming to newer female players. Don't get me wrong, there are wonderful people who frequent this bar (and at least one male bartender who is wonderful) but unfortunately the rest of the staff and community is sloppy, toxic and unsafe. Too many bad stories of assault / discomfort have come out of this space for me or my friends to go here anymore. Don't even bother if you're a customer with a conscience, go to a bar that values the safety and comfort of all guests.
Bartenders were super cool and welcoming
