    Great local institution in the heart of Printers Row! Service was amazing and very fast. Good crowd on a Saturday afternoon, great music in the background and overall a true gem. Pro Tip: Kasey's is Chicago's 2nd oldest bar.

    Great people, great conversation, great staff. We're local, so the folks at Kasey's have become like a second family to us. And Kasey's has become a second home.

    The infamous Kasey's pizza

    Krazy thing about Kasey's is that I lived a block away from it for 4.5 years. Whenever I walked past, during evening hours it always looked overly packed and Im not a packed dive bar guy anymore lol. I was hanging around in my old hood Printers Row on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm, visiting a friend who lives nearby and thought it would be a good time to experience Kasey's as everyone I know thats been have always had great things to say about it. Walked in and maybe 7 people was there. A very cool woman by the name of Kelsey was working the bar. Its your normal neighborhood dive with all the good liquor, decent beer selection, TVs with games on and its daytime regulars. They had Hubbards Cave Coffee n Cakes so I had to partake...love that beer!!! They serve pizza but its a frozen pizza they throw in a pizza toaster I believe and its pretty good actually. Kelsey told me she doesnt recall the brand but they have it specially given to the bar. Not bad! Had a crown and ginger to round out the visit. As I left, I felt terrible that I never stopped in during my time living in the area. I like this place.

    We stopped into Kasey's for a Friday afternoon beer. They had lots of different sports on TV. I enjoyed watching some track and gymnastics. We got an amber ale and a German wheat beer. Both were solid! The service was a little slow, but no big deal. We had a good time hanging out here.

    Really chill neighborhood tavern with really good pizza and sports screens. Service is a bit slow but not a problem in a tavern. The pizza is VERY good though. !!

    We were in town for a show (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, if you're curious) and were looking for some place to grab a drink. We found Kasey's Tavern on Yelp and popped in. Super charming place. Great selection of beer, both craft and big beer and spirits. Great Lakes Brewing's Nosferatu was on tap, so, of course I got it. The glass was beer clean, and the beer absolutely perfect. If I lived there, Kasey's would be my go to!!!

    Found this bar with a good atmosphere and prices, where getting both is rare around here. It's in Printer's Row close to a few hip and more expensive places. Kasey's Tavern only has drinks, but they have tons of these. Get something for almost any preference, hard or light. There's lots of local beers, many versions from famous and less famous liquor brands, and wines. A good place if looking for just a drink. I've been here a few times and have gotten quite a few things that other places have but sell them a lot more expensive. This is certainly one of the cheapest bars around here. Especially for its location that's quite an achievement. It's about $6 for the cheapest liquors. Most others are only a buck or so more expensive than that. Find something for almost anyone. Lots of local beers on tap. They even have lots of wines. Be divey or fancy. There's also lots of TVs so it's a good place to watch shows and games. Better when it's not as crowded. It's one of the few bars around this area that are open very late. They have pretty much just drinks and not really any food except maybe having some frozen pizzas.

    It's a neighborhood spot that we had frequented multiple times. You won't be rushed, but you'll have to be persistent if you want a drink at the patio. There's signs to order from your table but it depends on the staff that day. We tried multiple times to flag a bartender to order a drink. Even after they acknowledge you and confirm they'll be back for your order, you'll have to just be persistent and go to the bar. When you go to the bar, they're too busy to acknowledge you or take an order. You can stand there for a while while they chat up customers or their co-workers.

    Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

We ordered the Steak & Ale Pie (crowned with mash and gravy) and the Chicken Balti Pie. Both were delicious, but I think crowning the steak pie was definitely the right call. The chicken balti actually reminded me of the Taiwanese curry pastries (咖喱角) I grew up eating, which was a fun surprise. Very flavorful, and although the pies look kind of small at first glance, they are surprisingly filling. We also ordered the pickled egg -- basically a hard boiled egg with vinegar flavor. Tasty, though probably the most "normal" item we had. One unexpected highlight was the staff. Apparently many of the servers are freelance musicians, and they'll break out a guitar and ukulele song if someone is celebrating a special occasion. Very chill, friendly neighborhood vibe overall.

I had been wanting to try Industry Ales when it opened and was glad to have had the opportunity to finally check it out! I was slightly thrown off, as the dining tables are at the front of this space, and the bar is all the way at the back. In fact, my friend at first glance thought it was a sit-down dining establishment sans bar seating. We found our way to the bar and posted up at two seats. We were offered menus right away and found the bartender extremely knowledgeable. This was super helpful when facing down an encyclopedia of ales. He offered samples when we explained what we were looking for. That is service above and beyond, especially on a bustling Friday early evening. The brews were tasty, but I couldn't really discern what I was drinking apart to say it was a lighter Belgian Ale. Wine is more in my wheelhouse, but always good to change things up, especially when a person has the opportunity to be guided by an expert. The people seated nearby had ordered the tuna tartare which looked delicious. In fact, all of the menu is globally influenced (think: pizza samosas, pierogis, Korean BBQ) in addition to the classic brewpub favorites. In addition to the Brewpub, this location features the Millroom, a speakeasy-style lounge. I did not have a chance to check that out on this visit. Definitely a cut above the usual sports bar and a place to expand one's knowledge of brews.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26
