Bar DeVille

What happens when two experienced bar owners open the kind of bar that they would actually want to go to? It instantly becomes a local favorite, of course. Owners Kevin Heisner and Matt Eisler (Emp... read more

Old Oak Tap

Owners Chris and Susan Ongkiko have taken what's outside and ushered it in. Exposed bricks and pipes, sky-high ceilings and lots of reclaimed oak make this old auto-repair shop into Ukie Village's ... read more

Relax

Ukrainian Village's Chicago Avenue is littered with rock n' roll lounges now, and Relax (formely called Pharmacy till the city made them change it) is probably the flashiest of them all with vint... read more

Jun Bar

This unremarkable lounge will have to work out its kinks if it's going to survive on Division's highly competitive restaurant row. The minimalist Asian-esque interior is overlit with white light, j... read more

Continental

When it's 2AM and you just can't stand to go home, but can stand the thought of the skanky booths at Estelle's even less, head to Continental. The favorite 4AM spot for (sub)urbanites to keep the p... read more

Five Star Bar

A corner tavern with a slightly upscale vibe, Five Star is usually filled with tatted neighborhoodies and the rocker chicks who love them. And the thing that we love most about it is that even thou... read more

Small Bar

Second installment of the bar for locals who get nervous watching sports on TV alone and need to go to a place where they can do it with at least three other people in the room. The jukebox almost ... read more

Sigara Hookah Café & Lounge

There's something uncomfortable about Sigara that, like their bellydancers, you just can't place your finger on. Hookahs with flavored tobacco and small Middle Eastern plates should relax you into ... read more

Black Beetle

Consistently cute waitresses and bartenders and above-average bar food without the I'm-cool-because-I-live-west-of-Western attitude. Although recently that has attracted all the condo-owners from ... read more

Mac's

This is an unassuming pub right across from Phyllis', with a gorgeous bar, great bartenders and a "bar menu" with duck quesadillas, an organic grains salad and... filet mignon??? In case you're int... read more

Darkroom

With couches to the left, dance floor to the right, indoor stage and outdoor patio in the back, and giant bar in the middle, Darkroom can afford to be schizophrenic. There are displays of photograp... read more

Innjoy

Nice extra-large room. Too bad you can't fill it with other people because the usual young professional crowd is as bland as the food served. Elaborate salads that go nowhere and meatloaf with wine... read more

Zakopane

The ultimate old-man bar, Zakopane usually has a female bartender (always in a short, tight outfit) behind the bar pouring beer for old Polish dudes who are literally nodding off at the bar with th... read more

Club Foot

Ignore the horrible name and the correspondingly awful sign out front. Club Foot harkens back to the days when punks and skins fought in the streets at this place where Chicago's leather/spikes pas... read more

Empty Bottle

Fortunately the only thing that sucks at this place showcasing the likes of Acid Mothers and Temple is the bar service, but only because it's a 2:100 ratio of bartenders to drinkers. The cheap pric... read more

Rainbo Club

You could easily skip the early 20s scenester crowd that populates this place, posing out in natty pinstripe jackets and asymmetrical mullets to the strains of Gang of Four. The punk music, the bar... read more

Gold Star Bar

What's the draw of this Prohibition-era room with stools in front, pool in back? Must be its consistency because it's changed not at all in 15 years or more. Not quite a total dive but nowhere near... read more

Tuman's

When it was Tuman's Alcohol Abuse Center, it wasn't unusual to see leather-jacketed patrons literally fall off their barstools or pass out on the pool table spread-eagle. Following a 2003 rehab... read more
