Such a great place! Had so much fun. Highly recommend.

Went for the first time this week with a new puppy and none of the staff spoke to me or acknowledged me at all the entire 30-45 minutes I was in there. It seems to be the type of place that appreciates their regulars but is not very welcoming to newcomers. Going with a group would probably be fine but if you’re solo and just looking to get a drink or bring your dog somewhere, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

There was also a reactive dog (on a leash but owner was not holding on to it) right by the front door that lunged and barked at my very calm puppy as soon as we walked in. That’s not the staff’s fault but it’s something to be aware of if you are thinking of bringing your dog here for socialization or training around distractions.

A great Chicago dive that is not just dog friendly, but dog culture is incorporated into the vibe.
No food, but it's well worth the stop, or many stops. It is worth coming to, and it also serves as a great neighborhood bar as well.

The bartenders at the front bar slamming shots in the corner while working is not good. The bartenders in the outside bar were hammered. A lot of them just took care of the regulars while people left because they couldn’t get a drink. I’ve worked in the service industry, don’t go here on a Saturday, trash bar. Owner either doesn’t care or doesn’t measure their bottles for the shots they pour for the employees and over serving their regulars who had their head down on the bar.

Without doubt still one of my favourite bars in Chicago despite the change in management a couple of years ago. It's retained its charm and character and brought in some better beers on tap too. Dog friendly and family friendly patio, great music, pool table, darts and TV's to watch sport. All are welcome at this great spot

You could hear the music and voices from a few blocks away. It looked as fratty as it sounded and sounded as fratty as it looked. The place was PACKED - if you’re looking for a chill, diverse place to grab a drink, this is not it. If you’re looking to relive your college days, come to Cody’s!
