I must say though that the ambiance was what really did it for me. I'm a man of a certain age and I really appreciate seeing beautiful women just having a great time. And there was plenty of these women in the house that night! Seriously, the atmosphere, the music and the drinks just made for a perfect night. I can't wait to go back!

VERY different environment on a Friday night than what I remember. The men were my age and younger, which to me was normal since they've always catered to a mature crowd. The women were MUCH younger though. The music was good, being a mixture of old school hip hop, r&b, house, and reggae, and the drinks are still on point. I probably won't be back because this crowd was a little too young for me, but I recommend it to Gen Z and beyond.

This used to be the go-to local bar to blow off steam after a tough day at work. The clientele is…read morecomprised of a really cool mix of local south- siders (read: White Sox fans!) and UChicago staff/students. There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic. The bar is separated into two distinct parts, divided by a counter/tables in the center (you have to walk all the way around if you want to switch sides or move at the tables). On one side is the bar and a few TVs to watch the games, giving it a louder sports bar kind of vibe. On the other side there are a bunch of tables--almost like picnic tables. It feels very communal and laid-back. It's a place you can sip on drinks and easily spend time with a group of friends. The Cove is very group-friendly. My favorite part? My friend brings his dog there and it's no problem. Is this bar a dive? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I actually love it? Absolutely. Best bar on the area, hands down.
