In Chicago there are a handful of truly special places. Places that are unlike any other. Places you absolutely can’t miss out on. Cary’s is one of those places. You know it the second you see their neon sign or walk in the door or meet Mel the Cat. From the friendly staff behind the bar to the interesting people seated next to you, time spent at Cary’s is always memorable.

Great, laid back bar amidst the Indo-Pak retail stretch of Devon Ave. Great tap beer selection, nice wines on tap & a full back bar. Attentive service, a pool table, back patio - what more could you want?

Stopped by Cary’s Lounge last Friday night and dropped about $25 on a couple pints and grilled wings. Beer selection was solid—16 taps, so plenty to choose from—and the wings had the right char. I snagged a game of pool, too. Staff and folks at the bar were super welcoming, even let me hang on the back patio with the cat, Mel. Cozy, laid-back neighborhood gem since ’72—definitely coming back.

The whole place and atmosphere from the bartendars to everyone that goes there. They don't judge you and everyone is welcomed there. You just abide by their rules. Just drink and have a great time.

Best bartenders and bar cat (MEL!), excellent beer on tap selection and good n strong cocktails. Everything is priced fairly and food is welcomed to be brought in or delivered. Also Donna’s Bloody Mary mix is to die for! Grab one on a Sunday afternoon.

A great neighborhood bar with performances, trivia nights, a pool league (or whatever they call it), regulation table, open-minded clientele with a good sense of humor, and a broad selection of beers on tap and otherwise, ciders, and they know how to mix a good cocktail. The Rev and his barkeeping lieutenants take good care of you, and if you're lucky Mel the cat might squint at you.

This place is the bomb. My favorite bar in the city, bar-none!
Awesome staff, a broad spectrum of clientele, and one of the best places for a challenging pool match in town keep me coming back again and again.
