Cory and Cheyenne are amazing servers very hospitable and the environment is great. Been coming here for a while and I wouldn’t go to another bar in north Chicago. You should definitely come to duffers. The best bar in Chicago.

Our food was delicious! We had the cheese curds and pizza. We also had a couple cocktails; all were well made and great! Additionally, our server (I believe her name was Tate) was very attentive and such a sweet girl. We will definitely be back.
