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.

Great dive bar with popcorn and cheap beer In the heart of Lakeview. What more could you want

The only toilet in the men’s bathroom does not have a stall.
This place is awesome. And I can’t believe the most beautiful smile in the world is here right now!

my friend & 1 arrived here at 12:30am expecting to stay untill closing which was 2am. The fake security start kicking everbody out at 1:17am. By 1:25 he apporaches us in a rude manner stating " when i finish my cigarette you better be done drinking and be out" as me and my friend burshed him off and started talking about the situation among each other the bartender Abby randomly chimes our converstion being passive arrgesive and rude. Abby couldn't even make the drink i wanted and couldn't find any liquor i requested she kept stating " we don't have that" after Nora already made me the same 3 drinks i asked for prior to that. I also seen Abby tip herself extra on someone card! We came happily to celebarte just for the night to end like this... the only good thing about this place is Nora the bartender! she was very kind, proffesional, and attentive.Her customer service all together was top tier!

BEWARE OF CREDIT CARD THEFT!!!! If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a bartender overcharging my card. This is not just unethical; it's fraud. After telling close friends, I found out that the same person has stolen from them, too. She first tries to have you forget your card by ignoring your requests for it back. When she does give it back, she has swiped an extra $20 per drink!
The salt in the wound was her atrocious service and horrific attitude; Rolling her eyes at my boyfriend who wanted to pay via Apple Pay, now we know why, because she can't steal from that payment platform. It's incredibly disappointing, especially since I've been a loyal patron for years. I have repeatedly called and they don't answer. I have already disputed the charge with my bank.
Out of all the fantastic small bars in Lakeview, save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Have had multiple issues with bartenders tipping themselves way more than what I wrote on my check. For example, the other weekend I closed my $15 tab and tipped $3. The next day, I had a charge from Jake’s for $42. The bartenders are always drunk and constantly overcharge.
