this spot is OK! came for drinks on a Friday afternoon and we weren’t overly impressed with anything. not a great atmosphere or music being played. just a old school bar with drinks

The best parts of this establishment are the staff & the regulars who are oddly enough: one in the same. Everyone is very welcoming, and they have an excellent array of spirits and beers. This joint gives off great neighborhood vibes.

Friendly bartenders and patrons, there are a lot of regulars that come here and they are very nice. Great drinks and service, good vibe, and free pool table! Although you will more than likely have to wait a while before you get to play.

This is a small town community pub in a big city. Think "Cheers" atmosphere. I was in from out of town looking for a place to watch the Superbowl, they don't have huge TVs, but the had a pot luck for their patrons and the atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. I was delighted with the experience.
All of the bartenders are attractive and personable. The doormen are suave and handsome. The drinks are personalized to your taste and sensibility. The location is within walking distance of major transit. 10/10 would go again.

Lemming's Tavern is, without a doubt, the best dive bar I've stumbled upon in the Windy City. It's a place that knows how to keep things simple while adding a generous dose of hilarity to the mix.What truly sets Lemming's apart is the refreshing absence of the usual "bro-tastic" crowd, which, let's be honest, can sometimes be more obnoxious than a chatty parrot with a megaphone. Lemming's, on the other hand, exudes vibes and respect in equal measure.I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to test the culinary waters and attempted to order food. Little did I know, Lemming's Tavern specializes in serving up ONLY DRINKS! John, the bartender extraordinaire, swooped in to save the day. With a wink and a grin, he advised me to embrace modern technology and order delivery if I had a hankering for grub. John's kindness and comedic timing instantly turned Lemming's Tavern into my personal comedy club.The atmosphere at Lemming's is as chill as a polar bear in a snowstorm. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and have a conversation without someone yelling in your ear about their fantasy football team's misadventures.All in all, Lemming's Tavern is the real deal - a haven for laughter, relaxation, and great times. It's like the unicorn of dive bars in Chicago - hard to find, but once you do, you'll keep coming back for more laughs and libations.
Staff was quite rude, very disappointing
