Jefferson Inn Bar • $
4874 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago - 6.79 miles

“At Jefferson Inn the lights are low,
A cozy dive where locals go.
The bar is small, the stories deep,
A place where laughter doesn’t sleep.

The jukebox hums, the neon glows,
A friendly face in every row.
No need for frills, no need to prep,
It feels like home—cheers, Imhotep.“

“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

“It's the perfect dive bar with great food (big portions), best French fries and chicken wings around!, friendly customers, and staff. Family owned place who really cater to their customers and know most of the customers by name. There's a pool table, 6 TVs, and a jukebox which is perfect for hanging out and having a few shots and/or beers on the cheap. Party packages are inexpensive too and they have a nice big dining room for birthdays and group gatherings. (On Wednesday's they have drink specials.) *Cheers*“

No fancy cocktails to be found, just a solid selection of beers, including the newly added Yuengling on tap, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay all night. They also offer a few liquors for basic mixed drinks or for those who like to drink their liquor neat.“

“This is a go to bar. Forget the corporate ba, real people, real service. You go there twice they will know your drink. Amazing live music, and otherwise a great place to watch sports games. Jeremy is a great owner/bartender, and his staff truly goes above and beyond most dive bars. It's not a dive bar as it's clean and open. Neighborhood bar with character, class, and cheap drinks. Just rip the great bartenders so they stay. Totally a hidden gem in dupage county. City people can also come as it's 200 feet from the train ...“

Saw a picture on one of the reviews that had a few different ciders on there but it must have been old bc when we arrived we were told it was just beer or high noon seltzers. Other than that though its a real nice spot, definitely worth checking out! :)“
