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

We came on a brunch day and instead of getting the brunch, we went with a jerk chicken plate and oxtail curry. While our meals were good, I think we came on an off day. They offer a lot of great indoor and outdoor seating. I was in town visiting my best friend and we had a lot of catching up to do so we sat outside. We were seated pretty quickly and didn't mind that the service was a little slower since we were catching up. They had a QR code you could pay through which we did. Our waitress was really sweet too. I'd come back to try different curries!

We came here on a my Monday for lunch and we got seated it quickly. The place was mostly empty…read more They have lots tables/chairs and a full bar. I ordered the jerk chicken entree and curry chicken. The jerk chicken was good, not the best. And the curry chicken was OK I was expecting bigger flavors; the chicken was well made, fallen off the bones. The service was mediocre, didn't get any water refills. Made sense after we got our checks, 15% gratuity was already included on each checks (3 of us). Tipping doesn't bother me, only bothers me when service is whack. I don't know if I'll come back again because there's other Jamaican restaurants that are better.

Our group came here last night for drinks and pool after dinner. Venue and entire building are…read morehistoric, upscale, and very comfortable. Lots of comfortable sitting areas to just hang out.

I want to preface my review with the positives, Londyn was our server & was truly so kind, thorough, and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean & all tables have clear views of the TVs on game days. Now for the room for improvement- the food was very underwhelming. Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wings, and sesame ginger salad: -Brussel sprouts: tasted like they weren't seasoned just air fried and drenched in balsamic dressing -Buffalo cauliflower: soggy, unseasoned, runny buffalo sauce -Wings: PERFECTLY CRISPY, but no flavor (we ordered lemon pepper & buffalo) -Sesame ginger salad: sloppy mix of vegetables tossed in an overly sweet sauce with no sesame or ginger flavor in sight If you're not going to eat, this is probably a great spot, but from a food standpoint, there is room for improvement.

Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Sports themed bar with many TVs -Interesting variety of appetizers -Bathrooms look like a prison Came in for drinks about 6:30pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't too crowded since it was a bit early. I think there were some kind of corporate happy hour happening in the back, but a friend and myself just came in for quick drinks. I usually don't drink on the weekdays, so I ended up just getting an iced tea and him a tequila soda, but because I don't drink, we decided to get an appetizer and we browsed the menu for a minute and ended up splitting the Parmesan chicken egg rolls. Truthfully, I really just wanted to see what that would entail because it seemed a little disgusting or maybe even some kind of high-food, but to my surprise, it was actually a really crispy skinned pizza roll. I'm pretty sure it had been previously frozen, but in that moment- served with a side of marinara, I didn't really care. It was full of gooey melted mozzarella cheese and almost like a breaded chicken nugget center. Pretty decent as far as bar food goes. They also had crab rangoon to which I thought, "hmm are they doing a little too much?!" I'm sure drunk me would have gotten them years ago so what can ya do. Overall, quite a positive experience. The bartender was really sweet and everything wasn't super expensive. I've been in the neighborhood for such a long time, but I've actually never been here and I'm glad I came on a night that it wasn't chaotic.

Tasty moist fried chicken Parmesan sandwich & fresh cut side Caesar salad.

Custom pizzas, apps are good but menu feels limited. Wait staff like Joey are always professional friendly prompt and hard working!

I knew right away it would be perfect for my husband's birthday party. We ended up hosting an event with a guest list of 120+ family and friends, and Adrian, the general manager, truly guided us in the right direction from the very beginning of the planning process. On the day of the event, Adrian and his staff absolutely delivered. Guests were raving about the food and the delicious drinks, and the bartenders, Maegan and Jorge, were incredibly patient, fun, and added so much to the overall experience. Whether you're looking for a great dinner spot or planning a larger event, I would 100% recommend The Staley!

I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.
