“:-) wowed by the Beautiful bartenders! ! What a great atmosphere. That place just makes me a better person!!! I love it!!!“

“Finally treated ourselves - not disappointed!! Hubby got the chicken piccante & I had the chicken marsala - both were excellent! The pasta fagioli was so good we got a quart to take home. The service and atmosphere were also great - we will definitely be back!!“

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“We recently attended an engagement party at Goldie’s. The party was originally scheduled as an outdoor event but was forced to go inside at the last minute. Goldie’s ownership allowed the party to use their location, opened early and provided bar service for all attendees. All with less than 24 hours notice! Claire, the bartender, came in early and was exceptional. Highly recommend for special events or to just stop in for a drink!“

“Not one to go out on a weekend night - but the guy working the door was the best, super friendly guy without the doorman ego and went out of his way to play our requests for song. We had a large group, great drinks and bartenders - super fun vibe.“

“I can't recommend this pub enough for any locals or tourists. It has a cozy vibe with a hint of dive and a great outdoor space that compliments what makes Chicago great. Not to mention the patio is dog friendly z you are sure to have a blast and make new friends!“

“Awesome bar for starters. The people, the vibe, and the drinks are all top-notch. There’s a little sweetheart named Katie who works weekends—she’s incredibly down-to-earth and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. Honestly, she treats us like family.

I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a laid-back South Side pub with great energy, this is the spot.“

“My partner and I stayed in the neighborhood and kept coming back to Floyd’s. The drinks were great, food was yummy, and prices were fair. Reminded me of the neighborhood bars in my hometown, Baltimore. Marti, made us feel at home with great service! Def coming back again“

“Great music and awesome pint of Guinness“

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“Cork & Kerry is a Southside iconic pub. It has a great atmosphere, beer & drink selection. The service is great. It's the type of place you will run into someone you know. They don't serve food there, but they will let you bring it in. There is a great party room for any occasion. There is plenty of room for at least 75 people comfortably. You can bring in your own decorations, food, and desserts. They will let you run an open bar tab or customize the occasion to your price range. Parking can be tricky depending on what day of the week you visit. There is only free street parking. You may have to drive to a side street unless it's not busy. Overall, Cork & Kerry is a great Southside Irish bar to visit.“

“Walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile. The bartender Morgan was engaging and her service was quick. Got to play golden tee and darts which never misses. The bathrooms were cleaner than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Overall 10/10 experience would recommend any day of the week“

“Great place to grab a libation after a Wrigley Field event.“

“Magoo's is letting the band Malinche play on August 25th knowing that a member of that band, Calvin Hobbes, is a rapist. Watch out for businesses that won't watch out for you ladies.“

“The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!“

“Wow what an experience, we was visiting from the UK and had to see the famous bar, instantly we was welcome. Food was amazing, the bartenders was so lovely and even let my son go behind the bar for a photo. Really friendly ❤️ locals was really nice too x Thank you“

“This is an excellent place to eat. The food is outstanding and not at all what you would expect as bar food. The beer is could and there are lots of choices, even really great gluten free beer! The service could not be better. I can't wait to go back.“

“One of my favorite neighborhood watering holes in Elmhurst. Ideally located on Spring Road just north of the prairie path, it's a perfect and low-key place to stop for a bite and beer or whisky. My dog loves this place and its servers even more than I do.“
