Duffy's Tavern Bar • $
7513 Madison St, Forest Park

“This is one of my favorite spots on the Madison strip of bars. The staff are always friendly, and they have a solid beer list. Once, I was wearing a shirt from a brewery I had visited, and the owner asked me about it, stating that he is always trying to mix it up with his beer offerings. Would recommend!“

Circle Inn of Forest Park Bar • $
7300 Circle Ave, Forest Park

“Major no doc bar. Nothing like coming in after a shitshow at work. Drinking with 60+ year old dudes about absolutely nothing. Leaving drunk as s*** at 10am then eating White Castle sliders like Kevin at home while you're girlfriend is pissed at you. This place is a gem in a forest park. Thank you circle inn and all the no docs :)“

“This place offers the most quintessential neighborhood bar feel with more than a few trucks up it's sleeve. From the best smash burger you will ever have in your life (only $6), to Angostura shots, to a booze filled mint green shake you cannot finish, this bar has it all. The staff are happy and have a good vibe between each other which made me feel happy to be there. The place was absolutely packed but no one was rude or pushy. Just a great vibe over all with great drinks and great food. Definitely recommend.“

“Really cool spot. You wouldn't even think it's a functioning bar from the outside, but when you walk in, you're greeted with a really neat ambience. It reminds me of the salty platoon from SpongeBob but with an incredibly friendly staff. The music they have is great. Super cool bar- 10/10 recommend“

Web Pub Bucktown Pubs • $
2026 W Webster Ave, Chicago - 7.52 miles

“My experience at this bar was in the late 70s and early 80s. My husband, Michael and his partner Micky owned this place when my husband was in medical school. There was one of many brawls here that were just hilarious. One in February when the entire bar cleared into the street and “dibs” chairs were thrown everywhere. The police showed up and everyone was back in the bar like nothing happened. It had a liquor rack over the square bar. There was a neighborhood Elvis impersonator dancing on the bar. All at once the liquor rack crashed onto the bar. My husband proposed to me there. Always something with a cast of characters. I’m sure it’s very different now. Great memories ??“

“Going to corner bar is an experience for the select of Chicago. Big shout outs to Jamie, Bill, and Shawneice who keep the vibes going, the tequila flowing, and a dart board that can easily enthrall the whole bar. If dive bars with funny, caring, silly people aren’t your thing - steer clear!“

The Empty Bottle Dive Bar • $
1035 N Western Ave, Chicago - 6.69 miles

“What can I say about this place that hasn't been said already? One of the best venues in the city. Cheap drinks, affordable ticket prices, cool staff, great sound. All the makings of a perfect spot. Sure, it's not fancy or brand new. But its dive bar charm and long history stacks it up against any other venue around. If you're looking for a chill time with some good music, I highly suggest giving the Bottle a visit.“

“Last stop in Logan Square. Last bar before heading home. Favorite bar. Cash only is ok. Loved this bar. I stuck with beers, but my family had some cocktails. Bartender on Friday night was awesome! Bar had an old-school feel. It was later in the night and was more crowded. Lots of fun! There was a nice outdoor area. It looks like they may have live music, too. This was my favorite of the 4 or 5 bars we visited on this trip.“

Cody's Public House Sports Bar • $$
1658 W Barry Ave, Chicago - 8.39 miles

“Cody's is a great time. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Although it can get very crowded on the weekends, if you can claim a spot by a dart board or the pool table, you won't want to leave. It's also worth mentioning that the back patio is a very chill vibe on summer nights. The only thing keeping me from giving Cody's 5 stars is that if you go earlier in the day, you will find adults who bring their children who will often times run around unattended. Cody's is also pet friendly which is awesome. However after having a few drinks, it becomes worrisome that you can easily step on some of the small dogs that are hard to spot. Overall, Cody's is great.“

I was delighted with the experience.“
