Cody's is a great time. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Although it can get very crowded on the weekends, if you can claim a spot by a dart board or the pool table, you won't want to leave. It's also worth mentioning that the back patio is a very chill vibe on summer nights. The only thing keeping me from giving Cody's 5 stars is that if you go earlier in the day, you will find adults who bring their children who will often times run around unattended. Cody's is also pet friendly which is awesome. However after having a few drinks, it becomes worrisome that you can easily step on some of the small dogs that are hard to spot. Overall, Cody's is great.

I co hosted a surprise party for my best friend at this bar. Cody's Public House definitely nailed it!! The basement was a great venue for over thirty people. There was a great drink package for our guests. We ordered food from a local pizzeria for a buffet set up. There's a pool table and darts for entertainment needs and a modern jukebox. We all enjoyed the spacious outdoor patio with heat lamps. All in all it was a successful night and the birthday girl was very surprised! I was also impressed by the wall of adoptable dogs with QR codes ! There's a menu with a percentage of the proceeds that go towards a rescue. I'd definitely love to check this place out again! If you're looking for a great dog friendly bar; add this one to the list!

Great place to hang out and watch college football on a fall Saturday. No food, but they allow you to bring food in, great idea.

Practically an automatic 5 star for being (truly) dog-friendly. When an establishment in the Midwest claims to be dog-friendly because they have an outdoor patio... that's like 3 months of the year assuming it's not raining. So maybe 25% dog friendly? Cody's truly understands dog people and I absolutely love them for it. After a frustrating time of Googling dog friendly breweries/bars in Chicago only to find out that most of them only allowed dogs outside, I came across Cody's Public House. My pup and I stopped in close to when they opened, and had a good chunk of the bar to ourselves. We got to say hi to a few other pups, explore the place via all the smells, and drink great beer. My dog had a great time rolling on the floor -- his sign of approval. There were a few other people at the bar, and it seemed to be a neighborhood spot where people knew each other by name. It's largely surrounded by neighborhood, and I just love the hometown feel. Bartender was friendly and attentive, and the space itself is actually quite large. I will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Chicago. After all, these are clearly my people.

The best neighborhood bar! Great bartenders, dog friendly, great TV set up to watch big games, and a killer back patio. They do a ton of fun seasonal parties/events/fundraisers/etc. so there is always something going down at Cody's. The back patio is the best in the city with tons of tables, bags, dartboards, nd amazing outdoor TVs. There are grills you are free to use to cook up some food since they do not have a kitchen. Great side room that you can reserve for parties as well!
I don't drink anymore so I've never actually patronized this bar, but I live nearby and every time I pass there is a palpable sense of congeniality in the air and drifting over the gates of the beer garden. On Halloween, one of the employees dressed as a giant dinosaur and sat outside (in the snow) giving candy to kids. Just a nice thing to see. If you're into bars, I think this one would be worth your while.

Have you been here? Good ‘ol Cody’s. So good and so ‘ol. It made my Monday feel like more of a Thursday. Of course, sometimes Thursdays feel more like Saturdays. This, I know. So yep, also, there are dogs to distract you with all their greatness. Kind of always a party here.

We love Cody’s! Awesome neighborhood spot. We hosted a baby shower on their back patio which was super easy and they were helpful throughout the process.

Basic neighborhood bar that's a hangout for watching some games. Cody's is located in a pretty quiet area of Lakeview. It seems like most of what's around it is residential. For sure makes lots of sense if most patrons come from around it. This is kind of like going to a neighbor's backyard and having a party. At times it can be quiet, especially earlier. It's a good time though for checking out the bar itself. The bar is bigger than it looks, with back rooms for games, and a patio. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. There's no kitchen but you can bring something to eat, and they have free popcorn. Also there's grills on the patio so you can even cook. They're also known for being dog friendly. Good place for a game. It only seems like it gets kind of packed at times with most knowing the bartenders pretty good so it can take a long time for someone else to order. They only have the popcorn, but you can bring in something from wherever.

Usually they are a great spot. Tonight tried to overcharge me 2 drinks and then got upset that I was challenging them over 2 drinks.
