Divey Whiting bar... When I'm hanging out with my uncle…read moreLouie we usually swing by here since he lives a stones throw away. All in all it's your typical neighborhood bar, darts and a pool table, cheap beers and some snacks. There are 2 entrances one door on the East side of the building and the main door in front. Either one is open but I prefer going through the front because there's a table right next to the side door... wouldn't want to hit someone with the door you know. It's not the cleanest place, sticky tables and floors, let's not talk about the men's room... cleaning that would be a Mike Rowe worthy task. Staff is pretty friendly though when it gets busy they tend to forget about the tables a little and the far ends of the bar, just FYI. A friendly gesture such as a quick wave or a raised shake of an empty glass or bottle will bring 'em back to you, no muss no fuss. Since the previous review mentioned gangbangers and fights, I'll mention that in the few times we've been here it's been pretty chill. No gangbangers, no fights. Things have changed since 2005 it seems. Decent place, worth a looksee...

Basically walked in and out. It smelled terrible as soon as we walked in…read more The bartender told us kitchen was closed on a Saturday afternoon. On day of visit they only offered 2 of their beers on draft. We walked out without ordering anything. Disappointing as we made a detour here on our way home from the beach.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with a few coworkers. We were the only people in the place,…read morewhich should've been the first red flag. They had four beers listed, all niche styles that wouldn't appeal to most were 86'd, so basically, a brewery with two beer. The menu was small, generic bar food with zero creativity, and even then, four items weren't available. No real options, so we went with burgers and their so-called cheese curds. The burgers were way overcooked and dry, barely seasoned (just pepper), and honestly hard to eat. The "cheese curds" were just cubes of cheddar cut from a block. Not even trying. Service was a 3/10 at best. Feels like they'll be out of business soon. Won't be back.

We have been coming to Whiting the past four years for Pierogifest and we always start our days…read morehere. The bartender is friendly and we enjoy playing their bowling game before going to the festival. It is usually pretty empty other than regulars but we had fun watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics with the small group. They have a lot of plants and trees near the front window. In 2023 we tried to sit at a table by the window, but my friend accidentally touched a tree when trying to sit down because it was so crowded with plants. Not a problem, right? She didn't snap it in half or knock it over. The owner saw this and started yelling at my friend and kicked us out of the (already empty) bar. Then this year after the festival we went in to have one more beer. The owner again was in there, and we started to play music on their Touch Tunes and we were singing along ( to Bob Marley, the most chill of all music). The owner yelled that this was "not a karaoke bar" and that if we continued to sing she would shut the jukebox off. We continued singing and she turned it off. We left the establishment despite full beers and she locked the door behind us at 10pm on a Saturday. It is clear that the owner of this tired, dirty and rundown bar is not interested in having any patrons other than her regulars, even during the town's biggest events of the year. We enjoyed this hole in the wall in the past, despite the bathrooms being dirty and flooded, despite there being no draft beer, and despite having to clear our own tables. But this was the last straw and we will not be back because the owner is not worthy of our money.

We were in Whiting for Pierogi Fest and after the parade, it was just bat-shit crazy on 119th. The Clipper, which from the outside looks like it was originally a funeral home, was our refuge. And a place to use the loo. There is absolutely nothing special about this place but it saved me from tragedy. Porta-potty tragedy.

We got out and saw the sign on the door at the old building that they moved. So glad we got out the car and saw the new address and we went to check it out! We LOVED THE VIBE! Reminds me of downtown Las Vegas where I used to live. It's a cool spot! The staff, Michelle and Greg were so awesome! We enjoyed hearing some downtown Hammond history. The smash burger? OMG! The best I've had since I've moved to the Midwest! It was cooked right on the grill! Fresh! Hubby had the Caesar wrap and it was delicious! We so enjoyed the space, our time and the conversation! Can't wait to return!

The Cove is your friendly neighborhood dive bar. If you are looking for a place to meet new and…read moreinteresting people, grab a drink after a long workday, or hang with friends on the weekend, then this is your place. I love it here because you can get a super-boozy Old Fashioned for only $10. You will also get friendly bartenders who actually enjoy meeting patrons and making conversation with them. I like grabbing a seat right at the bar (when there is a seat available because it is typically crowded) because that is where you can meet the most interesting characters. This is not the place to come if you are looking for drinks with frills. This also is not the place where you can get some nosh with your liquor, but I have seen folks order and bring in food. There's not live music (i.e.: a DJ), but there is a paid jukebox in the back. #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFoodAndDrink #YelpEliteSquad

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.
