    Heaven on earth. The staff, the drinks, the ambiance.. bury me at Dernos. Bury my children and their children there too.

    Derno's burger, i assembled it, it came deconstructed, no egg, no bacon, no fries.

    Not sure if there's another derno's on ubereats pretending to be them. Ordered delivery, got the derno's burger. I was looking forward to it but it came deconstructed, with no egg, no bacon, no fries, not even on a brioche bun, just regular old burger bun, the patty is 1/3 lb isntead of 1/2 lb as well Lol how can a restaurant mess up on a signature item with the name of the restaurant in it lol the only reason I can think of is someone is pretending to be them The famous/popular wings are way expensive for just some deep fried wings that's no where near worth the price they are charging for, just hard and bone dry. The come back sauce wasn't good either, it's good when mixed with hot sauce but alone it's just a 1 dimensional sweet sauce. I could have given them 1 star but it's my first time getting food there and it was delivery so, I'm just hoping some one else is pretending to be them on ubereats using their name, address, and number. Anyway, if it is a fake restaurant, maybe this could raise the owner's awareness

    I've lived down the street from Derno's for my entire 6 years in Chicago. I've been here probably 100 times that I can remember and 100 times that I forgot about. There's only been 1 time I've had a bad time here, and that was unrelated to the Derno's experience (I got in a fight with my mom because i told her a dog ran for mayor of some city in Wisconsin and she said a dog can't run for mayor and long story short things escalated and words were said that shouldn't have been said, again, not Derno's fault, it's the dog's fault for running for mayor). Other than that, the people at Derno's are always great, the security and bartenders are even better, Vince, even the bartender named Asshole if you can believe it. Honestly as long as no one brings up a dog who ran for mayor in Wisconsin you should be all set for a great time here. By the way I still don't speak to my mom because of that incident. But it's ok because I have Derno's.

    Fried Pickles

    I honestly had low expectations for the food here after reading some of the reviews. But it was a Saturday night around 12am and not many places still serve food. I walked it and it was pretty dead. I sat at the bar further back because it was empty (hear it gets crowded around 2am). Got a few drinks with my bf and friends. We ordered fried pickles, fries and medium wings. When the food came out I was surprised with how much food they give. The fried pickles were really good. The fries and wings as well. And the price for the food is bad either. I can definitely see myself coming back here for late night food.

    I came here with some friends for late night snacks and drinks. It's definitely the place to be if you want to stay out late. They keep the lights on, so it's not dark and dreary. The bartender was very efficient whenever we asked for anything. The food was eh. It's just drunk snacky food.

    Wings

    I picked up some Buffalo style wings from Derno's this week and they were just okay. Nothing special, but also not terrible. It would have been nice had they included some celery with the wings, but it only came with the sauce. The sauce was actually very good though.

The patio is a great place to sit in the nice weather, and a grassy area to hang out, have kids play, or bring your dog(s). The bathroom was super cool, the back wall was a whole row of windows looking over the street and all the bars. Had a fun Nashville vibe!

We came in around 1:15am, thinking this would be a cool bar to end the night. The first bartender informed us that last call was approaching. We only wanted one round, so we immediately closed out after ordering. That bartender was very attentive and pleasant during the entire transaction. At 1:50am, the other bartender (who wasn't even serving us/hadn't spoke to us) came over and said we needed to start chugging. Her words: "I'm not going to tell you to get the f* out, but you need to chug". She kept telling us we needed to chug, and I kindly told her I wasn't chugging anything because we already paid and I can literally just leave. She brought up the bar closing soon (we already heard the very loud announcement for last call). She proceeded to blame it on having a bad day. Mind you, someone next to me literally just came in, and was being served. She tried to back out of it and kept repeating we'll know when it's time to go. I'm not sure what kind of establishment this is, but she didn't say anything to anyone else but us, the only two Black women at the bar at the time. I don't understand why she felt like it was okay to direct her "bad day" at us, sitting there calmly with two half drunken beers, while there were plenty of other people still up and active at the bar. The behavior displayed, completely unacceptable.
