“We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to The Local Tavern partner who supported Wisloka Chicago team in the UPSL interstate semi-pro league. Thanks to your generous support, our club is in the place that few years ago we could only dream about. Big applause for you 🔝🔝🔝🤝🤝🤝 🟢⚪️“

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Atmosphere, room, employees, food, decor, building, yes!! It was delicious. We went today with a bigger group following my grandmothers wake/ funeral for the luncheon. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“The interactive coin op playground of the Chciago arcade / bar scene. Priced for a cash night out- cc welcome and there is an atm. Street parking is easy but ya know how that is- taking CTA or Rideshare to Logan Square is simple. Order bites and shareable from Fry Like An Eagle next door and they deliver! Say hey to Dr. Z and be kind to the staff they are great humans there to make sure you have fun!“

“Went there today for the first, but definitely not last time. The food was extraordinary.“

“Just discovered a new cocktail bar in the Logan Square/Avondale area. It’s cozy, rustic, and has super welcoming vibe. The cocktails are unique and creative; great quality without the crazy price tag. I heard they have DJs on weekends too.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the famous tamales from Claudio, the Tamale Guy. 6 pieces for $12 is a steal.“

“These guys accommodated my large group of 20 last minute as we could not extend the reservation we had at another private room karaoke. We did have some waiting involved while they cleaned the room but they have a nice bar menu. The room was really well cleaned and really spacious with leather booths and a large screen.

To use YouTube, they have to cast from a phone connected to their wifi (just tell your attendant to do this). You will also need to use Google translate via camera to read the large remote to control the TV volume and potentially an echo that seemed to occur with one of the microphones. It took my group a minute to figure this out but otherwise really fun place!“

“Fabulous addition to the neighborhood! A great spot to have a glass solo, meet up with friends, take a class, or bring a bottle home. They were super accommodating when I brought in a group of girlfriends, seating us at the back table with very attentive service. Very reasonable prices, too.“

“Thank you for hosting Open Mic night. Wonderful experience. We’ll be back.“

“I've visited Osito's Tap a handful of time, but now I definitely need to be a regular. I was here last night for their Preservation bourbon tasting. It was an enjoyable evening learning and tasting some great bourbon, plus a nice dinner menu created by Osito's Tap very own Executive Chef. I've missed out on similar tastings here before, so I was happy to make this one.

As for the bar itself, it's a speakeasy with a giant Mezcal menu. If you're looking for great cocktails, an easy going spot, and good company. Then this is a place to be at. Definitely a GEM in the Little Village neighborhood.“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“This is one of my favorite bars in the city. I love that it's nearby my neighborhood, it's a lovely addition to the area. The food is delicious, I recommend the dill pickle pasta salad and the burger. The cocktail menu changes seasonally I think, so there's always something new to try. Cocktails are always nicely balanced and tasty. The staff is so friendly and I love the atmosphere. Busy on the weekends but weeknights are a bit quieter. Visit immediately.“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“Burger is literally the best burger I’ve ever had and it is consistently top tier.. a shame their previous chef ruined the reputation here but the current staff seem to care about the menu and continue to deliver excellence. Love that this is in Avondale, happy hour specials are a solid deal.“

“Food gets 5 stars for presentation, for sure. Unfortunately, the actual food had very mid flavor. Salsa was served with everything so you're likely expected to derive flavor from that. The only challenge there is that it was all hot.
5 star service and atmosphere!
Reasonable prices with ample offerings.“

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“BEST Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had in a longgg time! Always love their mahi mahi tacos and Italian beef egg rolls too.“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“Great spot for live music.“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“I came across Archies a few years back while out walking my dog.

Stopped out front to tie my shoe, my dog decided she'd walk in without me which is how I found out the bars dog friendly.

The staff is great, prices aren't bad. Its your typical small neighborhood bar which i why I love it.

Cheese balls too!“

“06/03/26: Great end to our evening! Amazing live jazz venue! We listen to experimental Jazz Fusion artists. It was amazing! No cover charge when I was there but they do card everyone. Great drinks at the bar. I did not see where they served food.“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“Paddy's truly offers the best bar food around, and the atmosphere is second to none. A big shoutout to Jen, Amy, and Amy Lynn, whose friendly service always makes you feel right at home and appreciated!“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“Played there last night. Beautiful bar, good prices and the bartender and sound guy were fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Zach the door man and his Manager were absolutely amazing. They gave us seats so appreciated. We had an amazing time we absolutely loved it. We will be back for another girls night out. Zach bought my Mom a shot for her birthday and that was awesome. We laughed so hard. Some of the girls 1st time, they had a blast. Such a great atmosphere and so much funny, blast. Thank you for a wonderful TIME...“

“We had a memorial lunch at the Jolly Inn this past Friday and it was beyond amazing. Couldn't have asked for more. Maria the server was absolutely delightful and so professional. She made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in the group raved about how great she was. Thank You so much Maria. The food was fabulous. No one went away hungry for sure. So much variety and everything was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The little room we were in was just perfect for our size group and the ambiance was wonderful. We felt like we were special and it made a day of mourning for us a little easier. Thank You so much for all you did to make the luncheon something that people didn't want to leave.“

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“I have been a vegetarian my entire life, and the vegetarian quesarito was my go-to item here. IT ROCKED. When I went in last time, our server said the chef said they will no longer make vegetarian quesaritos. NOOOOOOOO PLEASE ADD IT BACK AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!“

“i like this place extra because i am polish. bartender laughed at my excitement over my home beer being in the fridge (lone star) and said you can find it anywhere! now listen here willy i love ya but im here to tell you that just ain't true! i been to and from, across this damn nation, and outside of texas i seen it once somewhere in missouri, on the northeast coast at a single live music venue, and here at stella's tap! maybe a couple more but still this is a rare treat for a simple texan like me. thanks for the good times“
