It even has a free foosball table as well as a shuffle board table. Yet, one star off for the fact that they were serving the beers out of a cooler so they werent really that cold. Also, no drafts. Another star off for the beers being pricier than other dives. No real specials to mention. Nice new flat screens. Best part is that they have a bocce ball court on the side that it's free to play. Great in the summer.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

You walk up to the fridges, pick your hoppy and bottled (or canned) poison, and check out at the counter. Do note it's cash only. There's no food options but I read you can bring outside food in.

It was crumbling just one good kick and the whole unit would end up being a pile of rusty scrapes! Great customer visuals! On yet another time, I visited I was informed by the female bartender that the decided to go home early. Therefore, the kitchen was closed as we drove out for nothing, wasting our time and gas. Oh well! Not even a I'm sorry! The best time to come here is about 3pm when the city of Chicago workers will assure your safety and a good time eating and drinking. Nobody wants to eat good food in a questionable place. I wish this place would clean up their act.

And I love Indiana for not caving into the anti-smoking, fascist bastards who've been pushing their anti-tobacco agenda down our throats. It was so nice to be in a bar where I could light a Cigar and not get taken away in handcuffs. Piggy's reminds me of the old neighborhood taverns of yesteryear. The place was dark, dingy and comfy. I have to admit, I enjoyed my walk down the memory lane of booze. If you find yourself in Whiting and have the urge for a cold one, give Piggy's a try. Its a dingy, smokey delight. If I'm in the Whiting area, I'm definitely stopping back in. The first round is on me.

This is definately one of my favorite hangouts. It's one of the most fun bars in Lake County, and…read moreNW Indiana I'm sure. If you have a pretty big group of people though and try to sit atthe tables, it can get a little cramped. I think that the bowling machine more than compensates for tht flaw though. They have this arcade bowling game where you roll this sort of puck type thing and hit bowling pins, it's really fun. I'm pretty good at it naturally which is probably part of why I love it, hehe. The jukebox here is marvelous! I've sat there hearing great tune after great tune, usually hard rock and metal; Black Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC and so forth. The bartenders are really nice as well. There's quite a few bikers in there, but it's not like they claim it as their turf or anything, they just chill and hangout like the rest of us. Piggy's is just good fun.

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

Writing about this place on Yelp is akin to blogging about gas lanterns, but I'm vain, and being…read morethe first and only reviewer of this place makes me happy. Georgie's is a f***ing dive. The owner is a drunk. Upstairs is a transient residence. There are no specialty brews. The pool table is a miserable wreck. Hardly-used arcade games from a couple of decades ago abound. And the only food you'll ever see is subcontractor pizza from outside the building. All that said, if you want to drink drinks the way they're supposed to be made, if you love true neighborhood bars, if you want to play pool with good-but-non-judgmental types, if you want to drink alone or with eight friends, if you don't like shoulder throws as you're walking your drink around, if you like perfect jukeboxes, if you enjoy paying the absolute minimum, if you happen to be south, this is the bar for you. I've seen dogs stroll in with owners, met every employee in just two visits, and gotten to toast a birthday boy on a pub crawl (which, mysteriously, stayed around for three hours *longer* than it was supposed to), and hugged my bartender. If you're around, give it a go.

I did also order fish tacos for my wife which she enjoyed and some mozzarella sticks too which were subpar to be honest but I still ate them haha. When you walk in you see a pretty long spacious bar area, and the dining space which was a good size for the building size. I am a big TVs to watch at the bar guy and they didn't have very many in there, I have a better set up in my basement. The bartender was quick and attentive while I waited for my order, that was a plus. A down side is the parking lot area isn't very organized and will have you parking in the neighborhood. As a whole Small World Inn Bar and Grill is a nice spot for some good eats and I assume some good drinks. I definitely will be back to get wings!!! Check them out when you are in the area.
