While unassuming and a little out of the way, there's nothing better than a restaurant/bar with a small town feel, cheap drinks, and an interesting menu. The bartenders were easygoing and helpful, the other patrons were very chill, and we were able to find our own spot and enjoy the day. We went on a Saturday afternoon/evening and had an excellent time.

Really lovely little Ravenswood hideout local bar. It’s nice and clean, not a dive. Reasonable priced drinks and they sell food late, mostly Greek menu that always satisfies. Several ciders on the beer list which I always appreciate, and they take cash and credit and have a jukebox as well as one TV in the corner by the bar. Many tables throughout that are usually fairly quiet when I’ve gone. Bar is for chatty folks. I strongly prefer places that don’t have TVs in every corner Bathrooms are always well stocked and patrons are friendly but not cliquey.
I was there till about 4 AM one night, and I was staying at a friends house down the street. Apparently I left my bike unlocked, and the owner, Victor, brought the bike inside his bar before anyone else could steal it. When I came back the next day, he brought the bike out for me. I was so happy, Everyone who works here is so nice. And the drinks are well priced and the atmosphere is always chill. You’ll meet a lot of industry people coming to this bar after 2 AM!

Really fun time. Kitchen closed at 1:30 am and it got busy around 3am. Amy the bartender was very friendly. The chef/owner made the best fries I've ever had perfectly golden crunchy fries. Will be going back. They have a touchtunes, good beers and ciders.

Late night neighborhood dive. Bartenders are super friendly. Neighborhood people hanging out. Never been there on the weekend but the weekdays are perfect.

If you feel like literally going back to what is a fancy bar and restaurant from 1986 and play ALL your favorite songs and hang out with the friends you've known since H.S.? Then come to Oakwood 83!

Great neighborhood gem. Good service and friendly bartenders even when it's crowded. Spacious with plenty of searing, darts, piano, but overall really chill vibes. Bathrooms are very tiny but clean.

Love The food here also, Stephanie is a great bartender.
The last bastion of late night (5am) bars in Chicago. Maybe the only place you can get Saganaki at 2am.

Great neighborhood haunt with an old school interior and solid food including flaming Greek cheese.

I had the fries and mozzarella sticks and they were AMAZING! I was not expecting the fries to be so good. The mozzarella sticks had a generous (it's thick) amount of cheese in it. I saw another person order a dish that was really cool that had flames coming out. I heard coming early is best to beat the crowd. Everyone there felt like family, it was a great warm feeling. Hard to find these in Chicago. I recommend this place to everyone.
