    Burger

    Cheryl makes the best burgers! If you want a good simple inexpensive burger with good beer on tap and a nice cozy atmosphere, this is where to go. Friendly staff and just all around a great time. Pool table, darts and golf.

    Chicken sandwich and comes with fries!

    A great place to enjoy a few drinks with friends and they even serve food which to my surprise it was very good and affordable. The bartenders were super friendly and know to pour good drinks.

    Polish bar? Sports Bar? Technically it's owned by a Polish woman, and sure, there are sports on the TVs, but a "friendly, humble neighborhood bar with good food and nice company" is how I'd describe Filonek's. On any given night you'll see a few "regulars", and you'll want to go on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday when Maggie is working - the sweetest bartender you'll ever meet - but a trip to Filonek's is always met with warm atmosphere and an unpretentious crowd. Darts, pool, Golden Tee and an internet-fueled jukebox are all part of the landscape, and if you're hungry, a varied bar menu offers everything from Pierogis to delicious Allegretti's gourmet pizzas. Good drink specials too. Filonek's is also experimenting with having bands on Saturday nights, with no cover charge. Locals The Debauchers played there a few months ago and they're coming back for a 2-set show on Saturday, September 25, 9 pm. A previous review opened with "I dated a guy who practically lived here" and then went on to trash the patrons. Maybe she had a problem separating her feeling about the bar from her feelings about the guy. I've been going to Filonek's since 2007 and enjoy the genuine, friendly vibe of this no-frills Northwest Side bar.

    They have a Great selection of drinks ,,, and A very friendly atmosphere , I love this place

    When the bartender is also the cook, both the food and drinks lack attention. Not my first choice in the neighborhood.

    This place is awful it's dirty, dark and smells. If you're not a guy the lady bartenders don't care about you.

    Checked out this pretty casual looking bar. District House is one of the few in the immediate area…read moreon Higgins. It may get overlooked by some of the other places in Jefferson Park. Have to say it's not much to look at. The drinks are the main thing. Basic looking bar in a mostly residential area. It's the second home for a lot of regulars who live around here. That makes sense. Not a whole lot else is around. Of course they won't ever have to worry about parking. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and mixed with whatever. Basic. There's free popcorn. Good prices compared to other bars. It's located on Higgins at Major. The closest transportation center is the Jefferson Park station.

The reason we love this place is because the place is nice and modern with a nice comfy decor, they have an EXCELLENT whiskey and bourbon selection amongst all other spirits, but mostly because of the SERVICE! The staff, from the owner to each of the bartenders, they treat you like a long time friend. The drinks pack a punch and the ambiance is always upbeat. They strive to provide different events weekly and even nightly. They have a back patio for private parties or you can host your event inside. This place is just great, but Uber since parking is street parking and common sense dictates you should. See you there, and let's enjoy a drink!

    (Kari's Rating 7.75/10)…read more TLDR -Delicious & cheap bone-in wings (18 for $22) -Local bar with tons of personality -Personable staff Came with a friend around 8 o'clock, bar was pretty crowded for a Monday with a bunch of locals watching the Cubs game. Not many people were eating, but it looked like a lot of friends here after a long day of work. Our server, Alex was extremely personable and she took our orders right away. As it was a Monday, neither of us were drinking, but she promptly brought two ice waters. I had mentioned to her that I had been here six or seven years ago, and she also said she had been here since. We came here only for the wings as I remembered and 18 wings for $22 is an amazing deal! We got six hot wings, six buffalo wings and Alex recommended the last set of wings be Cajun. There was a group of eight men at the bar, enjoying the baseball game, and I have to assume they're local by the way they were talking to each other and conversing with the bartender. I can imagine this place gets pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday evening with locals. This is such a fun dive bar feeling, with the decor being very mom and pop shop, but it also felt like there was a lot of history here-like people would fight for this bar, not to shut down. You know the space has personality and charm as Alex then chased down a lady who just left to give her her the forgotten leftovers. As our food came out relatively fast, the hot and the buffalo sauces were pretty similar, but the sauce was very thin, so it didn't clean to the wings that well. The wings were fresh and really crispy so you know they were made to order which was great. The Cajun was the absolute best as it was a dry rub, however, I feel like they should've tossed it in butter or something so the Cajun would stick as most of the seasoning had fallen off.

    Local bar with good bar food. Bartender was friendly and chatty. This was on a Monday at…read morelunch...bar was pretty empty.
