This is a cute little neighborhood dive bar. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. The service…read moreis okay, but not the friendliest in the world. There is no food, but their draft beer selection is pretty good, and it's a full bar, so you should be able to find something to drink. Lots of smokers outside, right by the open door and windows, which sucks. This won't be my regular spot, but I'll maybe swing by for a beer if I'm in the area.

This was the first bar I visited upon returning home to the US, and the staff were very welcoming…read more The small, but fairly packed, bar had a cozy atmosphere as the music playing overhead was barely audible among the chatter of regulars and incoming patrons. Large tv's were streaming sports overhead adding to the ambiance (along with Halloween decorations)--how festive! Had a few drinks and are feeling super hungry? Armand's pizza is right next door, but the two establishments are conjoined so you can walk directly into the pizzeria. My last two visits at Tiny Tap were very enjoyable and I encourage anyone to stop in for a drink.

Had an absolute blast at FatDuck Tavern with friends! We had heard good things about their food and…read moredrinks and it did not disappoint. Their menu is HUGE both of the food and drinks side. Be sure to check out their daily specials or stop in for Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-6pm) for extra discounts. For drinks, we started with the Hugo Spritz, Jalapeño Ginger Lime Spritz, and Prickly Pear Spritz. The Hugo Spritz was my favorite of the night and was super east to drink on a hot day. For food, we shared their famous DuckFat Fries which comes with three dipping sauces. I loved the Garlic Aioli and Chipotle Ketchup but wasn't the biggest of the Mexican Pesto. For entrees, we got a mixture of items. I got the Cheeseburger Sliders but asked for Onion Crisps instead of Caramelized. This was the perfect portion. For me after already sharing fries. My friends got a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Fish Tacos, and Fire Alarm Burger. Everything tasted great but my friend didn't think her burger was too spicy. Overall, I loved the casual atmosphere of FatDuck. Their menu has so many options that there always would be something new to try. Pricing was a little high but portions were very large to offset costs. Highly recommend!

I love the burgers here and whenever I'm in the neighborhood I like to grab a one. Tonight I…read moreordered the fried egg burger with the duck fat fries and a chocolate brownie a la mode to go. The passion fruit martini was stronger than I expected it to be. Everything was delicious. My server Jayme was being shadowed and they were both quite pleasant. I sat in the dining area with the low tables and it was fairly quiet, the bar side was louder but not too loud. *I wanted to note that the front entrance is not wheelchair friendly as previously indicated, there is a step. UPDATE: I just tasted the chocolate brownie a la mode and if you prefer a more cake-like brownie, then this is the brownie for you. I on the other hand, prefer the dense gooeyness of a classic brownie.

Sally recommended to me the shrimp ceviche ($15.95) which was very good and so fresh. There is a huge variety of salads and sandwiches, very hard to choose. I am glad we got the ceviche, it was a huge portion with lots of fresh shrimp and cilantro. It was more than enough for two people to share. I really admire the restoration of this old bar, it is quite beautiful and has some gorgeously restored copper ceilings. Would definitely come back here again.

WW..E or F, lots of fighting. ...whatever was not my favorite thing to watch, but just trying to hang out and turning off March Madness was not a big deal. But young Joe and I believe his brother run their grandfather's place, this Phil's. Authentic people, Joe a super good guy. People and their scuff mark presence and Joe's good heart and diversity will make this a place of increasing character. Hang out there, and continue to add your character. I will be back.

Italian Beef Crawl Stop #4:…read more Starting to get slowed down by the volume of beefs and beers, this short trip to the next bar was more than welcome. As we entered there were about two guys in there having an afternoon beer. My friend rolls up and orders a long line of glasses and pitcher after pitcher after pitcher. I commented to him, "This looks like a scene out of a Western flick where the banditos rob the money train and then go in all out buying whiskey!" Some folks picked up the ping pong paddles and started to play a game, still a few more popped in some quarters for Silver Strike Bowling and some others played some pool. I contented myself walking around and chugging out of the small glasses. The outdoors area was sweet with tables and lots of room out in the sun. We did run into some west siders who all had an opinion of where to get good beefs, but Johnnie's would be the next leg of the beef crawl. We probably ended staying here the longest and spent the most money than any other of the bars. We eventually ended up staying at Phil's and then eating Johnnie's at Phil's. The tables were big enough, so there was room for everyone to eat and keep drinking. All in all a decent bar with lots of sports banners, neon lights and cheap beer. A bit far out of my way and nothing compelling to bring me back, but definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

Super nice, super funny. Don't get me wrong, they're just as likely to insult you as anything else, but it's always in a playful way. They're good people. Ditto for the regulars. All you need to do with any of them is engage, talk sports, local events, food, pets, drinks, whatever, and suddenly you're welcomed with open arms. That's the magic of these kinds of bars. The drinks are drinks, but if you want something specific, they'll do their best. Buy the bartender a shot and they're likely to do even better. No food, but bring some if you like. These folks are good, the space is fine, and the drinks are cold and generally reasonably priced. Drop in, chat folks up and you'll have a good time.
