“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“chill, cozy neighborhood bar with high vibes, always. the djs set the mood and keep the atmosphere bumping and easygoing. love the round booths, mood lighting, and cool people that bring the place to life. in the summer, the garage windows open and the smell of fresh rain wafts through. my gf and i have come here in sweats and in heels—it really just feels like home 🥃❤️‍🔥✨“

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

“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.“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

There are also items for sale inside the bar, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a cozy spot that’s perfect for a romantic night out.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“the wings were so good absolutely delicious food and nice staff , good for hangouts and good beer“

“Sarai was so good at helping us. She helped us out so much and gave us amazing service. The music and food was soo good and and she made sure everything was up to par. As a place to eat I highly recommend and would love to come back and tell all my friend and family.“

“Ustar has such great service! Came multiple times for small groups, and recently for a party of 20. Someone coordinated with me via text to get every question and detail prepared before arriving. Told us we can bring outside food, and made it easy for guests to order drinks. Staff made the experience wonderful!

If you plan on coming, they recommend bringing a tablet for YouTube which helps a lot for bigger parties.“

“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.“

“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!“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

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

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

“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.“

“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...“

“This has become one of my go to spots for both Friday lunch and happy hour. They also have a great rewards program, which is a nice bonus if you come here often. I really like the new location. It is recently updated and much less crowded compared to the Fulton Market spot.

Food wise, the shrimp tacos and brisket nachos are my favorites. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!“

“This is a great place to dance, especially when a certain DJ is playing. I recommend checking their website or social media to see what music will be featured for the night. The venue is small, so it can get crowded, and the air circulation isn't the best, making it feel quite hot at times. However, there’s a nice outdoor area toward the back if you need a break. You can dance near the DJ on stage or hang out at the tables near the entrance and the bar seating if you prefer a more relaxed vibe. Overall, a fun spot with good energy!“

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

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

“It's a relatively decent place to have a cold beer or a cocktail.
I'd say the best thing about this place is they're awesome patio. Some nights their DJs are great some are just okay. If you can get a booth, hold onto it during busy hours because this place gets packed fast. If you're in Logan, it's worth stopping in for a pint or two.“

“Found this gem by accident while waiting around, and I’m so glad I did. The hospitality was incredible. It’s the ultimate local spot with a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to the kind bartender and all the guests who made me feel at home.
​P.S. Sorry again to Aneta, the bartender!“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“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.“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“Best bar in the city. Friendly. Good beer.“

“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“
