This may be my 3rd review ever. Great booze and smoky atmosphere. Asked for one of the .75 cent hard boiled eggs and they were sold out. Luckily they were able to find me one in the basement.
Its an uassuming, shady dark bar that is cool with smoking. Did I say that SMOKING is allowed here? A solid rotational collection of Chicago folks, rotating.
Staff are PROFESSIONAL. Opens early and closes late. This joint is SOLID. You might smoke at the bar and feel like Bukowski, without all that Poems and Shortstories stuff. Some may remeber smoking and drinking in a Bar. MANY have never seen it.

Stumbled across this bar whilst looking for a place to use the loo and have a quick drink and what a find! I love “dive” bars and this ticked every box, cheap bottled beer, cash only, great jukebox, Smokey atmosphere & filled with locals! Both barman were great (especially the guy with the cubs ring). Popped in for one & ended up staying for six!
