What seems like a staple neighborhood bar. Bartender was very attentive.
Live music gets and extra star always in my book. Had a nice blues duo which is always appreciated.

Didn't try food. Poor choice of draft beer. Bartender was really rude and he was playing some musinc sounded like gay pron.

I make all my big plans here
A great bar for celebrations and conversations. I’m happy sitting at a table in the window or at the bar. We like stopping in after going to a show. A great neighborhood spot with a lived-in and rich history. Recommended.

The Low-Key Vibe: Cunneen’s is like that cozy sweater you’ve had since college—slightly worn, but oh-so-comfortable. It’s not a dive bar, but it’s not trying to be the next hipster hotspot either. Trendy cocktails? Nah. Micro-brews? Maybe if you squint. A wine list? Sure, if you count the grape juice in the corner. And table service? Darling, you’re at Cunneen’s—order at the bar and pay with cash. They don’t take Venmo, but they’ll gladly accept your Monopoly money.
Origins: Cunneen’s was birthed by Steve Cunneen, a med school grad who decided that curing diseases was overrated. Instead, he opened this joint with his buddies. Ed Holstein & Bill Savage
In Summary: Cunneen’s is more than a bar; it’s a neighborhood institution. So grab your pocket change, leave your pretensions at the door, and join the chorus of laughter. Because at Cunneen’s, everyone’s a regular—even the clock.

The bartender at this establishment should be fired. Popped in last night for a quick beer and she was SO rude. If you want to drop money to feel extremely anxious and like you're irritating a bartender for asking for a beer on a Saturday night, visit this place. WHY do people take on such jobs when they're incompetent at basic social skills? BE NICE!
Ok bar. Too small. Bartenders attentive, but that's about it. Prices average.
I am for sure coming back here again next time I am in Chicago. The staff is great!!!!

Cuneeens is a treasure. Bar has been around for a long time, classic interior of the 1970s, pool table, cash only and of course, Schlitz beer. Does it get much better? No.
The guy seemed so rude and the place was musty I'm sure the original owner who built it would not like that ?
