A great bar for celebrations and conversations. I’m happy sitting at a table in the window or at the bar. We like stopping in after going to a show. A great neighborhood spot with a lived-in and rich history. Recommended.

The Low-Key Vibe: Cunneen’s is like that cozy sweater you’ve had since college—slightly worn, but oh-so-comfortable. It’s not a dive bar, but it’s not trying to be the next hipster hotspot either. Trendy cocktails? Nah. Micro-brews? Maybe if you squint. A wine list? Sure, if you count the grape juice in the corner. And table service? Darling, you’re at Cunneen’s—order at the bar and pay with cash. They don’t take Venmo, but they’ll gladly accept your Monopoly money.Origins: Cunneen’s was birthed by Steve Cunneen, a med school grad who decided that curing diseases was overrated. Instead, he opened this joint with his buddies. Ed Holstein & Bill SavageIn Summary: Cunneen’s is more than a bar; it’s a neighborhood institution. So grab your pocket change, leave your pretensions at the door, and join the chorus of laughter. Because at Cunneen’s, everyone’s a regular—even the clock.Disclaimer: The above review contains 100% more whimsy than your average Yelp post. Side effects may include spontaneous Scrabble tournaments and an inexplicable urge to quote Mayor Daley

The bartender at this establishment should be fired. Popped in last night for a quick beer and she was SO rude. If you want to drop money to feel extremely anxious and like you're irritating a bartender for asking for a beer on a Saturday night, visit this place. WHY do people take on such jobs when they're incompetent at basic social skills? BE NICE!

Ok bar. Too small. Bartenders attentive, but that's about it. Prices average.

THIS is a classic Chicago neighborhood bar. Chill regulars sipping beers. A little crock pot of Italian beef for sandwiches on a Sunday. Random dogs to pet. I'd call it a dive, maybe, but it's clean and has big windows in the front, and does not have that depressing air of a true dive. The bartender is awesome. He's whatever you want him to be - you're charming and friendly, you get that back. If you're a jerk - well, don't be a jerk. Someone mentioned they didn't like the "frufru" cocktails - well, I like those. There's now something for everyone here. I was afraid this place would go away after the original owner died, but it seems to be hangin' tough. Stay open, Cunneens!

Cuneeens is a treasure. Bar has been around for a long time, classic interior of the 1970s, pool table, cash only and of course, Schlitz beer. Does it get much better? No.

The guy seemed so rude and the place was musty I'm sure the original owner who built it would not like that ?

Cute little bar with a pool table. Cash only. Good bartender and a great ambience. I appreciate the inexpensive prices, and nice bartender.
John himself is enough of a reason to visit this fantastic bar with great prices for the area. He is the best bartender I've ever had.
Great, old school neighborhood pub with a relaxed vibe, it's clean, comfortable & has fine service. Check it out while you're in Rogers Park!
Cash only, a neighborhood staple, pool table and great, old-school bartenders. I love this place
