Good vibes, large liquor selection, free popcorn and an awesome bartender - hi Kacey!
The locals even watched my things for me as I wandered.
See you guys again soon🌻
Oh - and they let you bring in outside food and water.
My second time - there was a cute dog there to greet me at the door.
Thanks guys

I want to like this place, but the bartender likes to control the jukebox like it's his personal playlist. It's not about you, it's about the customers. If you want to listen to your own music, stay home, or play it at the jukebox like everyone else. Leaving this review after 3 songs skipped.

Reviews that mention affordable drafts are outdated. Friendly, direct service in a classic Chicago setting. Drink up the history!

Jake's is a good old fashioned drinking hole! We wanted to see it because my husband's parents met there in 1947! We visited just after they opened so sat at the bar and conversed with the gentleman who served us. Affordable beers and mixed drinks, pool tables and some sports memorabilia. Nothing fancy, but whenever we mentioned Jake's to someone in the Chicago area, they knew what we were talking about! This is the kind of place we thought had disappeared!

BEWARE OF ROOFIES!!!! One drink at home, then just one drink at Jake’s. Next thing you know, my friend is incoherent and unable to stand. The place was absolutely packed. There are plenty of men foaming at the mouth, smashed shoulder to shoulder with unsuspecting women where it is very easy to drop something in a drink. First and last time at this dive.
