If you work in a service industry and you're looking for a cool late night spot to have an after work cocktail or beer this is definitely the place.
9 times out of 10 you will find the first 10 to 15 seats of the bar filled with industry workers kibitzing and laughing with the bar staff. This place definitely has a Cheers vibe - once they get to know you, they'll always remember you.
It's just too bad they had to close the kitchen because their food was amazing....

So nice
Cold drinks, great location. Come to cool off, relax, and enjoy the people watching. Cash preferred here.

The Green Eye Lounge offers a classic Chicago bar experience with a nostalgic decor and a straightforward drink menu. The ambiance is described as a "nicer dive bar-like" with a bit more character, providing a great space for casual drinks and conversations. The front room tends to be lively, while the back room offers a quieter atmosphere, making it suitable for different moods. Inside, it’s calm, dim, and just the right amount of worn-in, with a lived-in warmth that invites guests to melt into the bar without needing to explain themselves. The lighting is low but not theatrical, creating a comfortable setting for relaxation.
The bar has a good selection of beer and a decent liquor list, with attentive bartenders who are happy to recommend drinks. A highlight is the excellent craft beer on tap and cheap PBRs, perfect for a casual hangout. The long bar with plenty of seating and nice tables makes it easy to gather with friends or chat with neighborhood regulars. The staff is friendly and accommodating, often holding tables and allowing guests to bring or order in snacks and cake.
Though they do not serve food, the venue remains flexible for hosting events and is a convenient place for drop-in drinks or casual gatherings. The establishment prefers cash payments and offers a 10% discount for not using cards. The bar is kept clean, and the friendly, welcoming vibe makes it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether for a quick drink or a longer stay, Green Eye Lounge continues to be a reliable spot in the neighborhood, perfect for relaxing and enjoying good company.
