Decided not to be a sad sack alone by myself on Christmas Eve and made my second visit here last night. My first time back in November was perfectly nice, very quiet, good drinks, just a few groups chatting idly. But last night the place was decked out to the nines in all manner of fabulous Christmas decor—including Brandon the bartender in a reindeer onesie—and packed with an array of patrons bringing some really great energy.
The 3 gin and tonics and mystery peppermint shot Brandon made me were not only excellent, but lasted me well until 4 am, all for a fraction of what it would have cost at other bars.
Really was just a lovely few hours I spent here, especially the conversation. It's very refreshing to go to a bar where you can actually hear people and make real connections rather than shouting at each other.
Altogether a great little spot, truly a hidden gem to have just a train stop away, and I will definitely be back!

Service was abysmal. Upon walk-in was asked “what do you want”. When I asked for a beer list the bartender pretty much screamed “I have no list just tell me what you want”. A few more other things too, but he was the most hostile person in customer service I’ve ever met. We left and refused to give the establishment a dime. Service 0/10. This was a Sunday at noon before a mosaic class trying to get a quick beer

The best Chicago gay bars are far away from Boystown. This is one of the best. Friendly, diverse crowd of regulars. Bartenders are friendly. It's a good place to have an intimate tete a tete with a dear friend or a casual chat with a stranger. Well decorated for Halloween .

Great lil hole in the wall for a “night cap” after a fun night with your friends. Can get crowded, but with nice weather they have a really cute back patio.

This is a bar for gentlemen who like gentleman. I'm a lady so the service was a little stiff but I understand
Great little dive bar. It's cash only, but that being said, great relaxed atmosphere. It's easy to sit and mind your business, or engage in good conversations. The bartenders are friendly and fun to talk too, as well as the rest of the patrons.

A great little gay dive bar. Good prices on drinks and great bartenders. My only complaint is the music. I feel like on Saturday nights someone hijacks the jukebox, and we are stuck listening to the same music over and over again. Also one suggestion, you have all these televisions. Play something fun on there other than the news or sports.

Stopped in to check out this bar. The bartender Paul was so rude and nasty. Such a disappointment. Andersonville it is.
