It definitely got cleaned up and a bit of a makeover. It looks great! The crowd (early to mid 20s) had me feeling old hahah but I guess that's Wrigleyville! We came for the drinks, but the karaoke kept us around longer than we expected. We had so much fun people-watching and enjoying the music. I'll need to make another trip back to make a decision on the food.

We were on our way to Happy Camper when we heard music coming from here and decided to stop in. We…read moreasked the doorman if they sold pizza and if it was good -- of course he said yes and rated it an 8/10, so we figured why not give it a try. Once inside, it took a little while to get assistance, and we were disappointed to find out there was only ONE pizza option on the menu (pepperoni). We were expecting more variety, so we ended up leaving. I do think the doormen should have a little more knowledge of the menu or set expectations better for first-timers. Also, the music just wasn't giving for us that night. Not a terrible experience, just not what we expected.

As soon as I stepped inside I could tell this was my kind of pub. First off, they don't serve food (but you CAN get FREE hot dogs there on game day!!!) so you can stop anywhere & bring in your own food. We got take out & luckily got a front table by the window. We had really good cocktails & cold beer. So in the old school dive bar sense don't be deterred in that they DO make good craft cocktails here. They have sidewalk tables & a back patio. I would definitely go back!

On our first night in Chicago, I was looking for something to do in the Wrigley Field area, when I…read morediscovered a local pub was doing a Jeopardy trivia night. I showed up shortly before the game was set to begin and snagged myself a perfect spot at the bar. The place was already hopping and the vibe at Guthries is exactly what I'm looking for in a bar or pub. I started off with a Manhattan and honestly it was pretty bad, as it had been loaded up with vermouth. It didn't bother me that much, though, especially once the game began, which was just so much darn fun. My bartender was super friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the couple of beers I wound up ordering. I wish my local bar was as cool as Guthries. I'd totally be a regular if that were the case.

This place is awesome. Incredible beer and drink selection with some hard to beat deals. It has a…read morepunk-metal atmosphere that's super unique, bartenders are all very friendly and attentive, and the pool table upstairs is always a great time. Sometimes they play some pretty weird movies on the TV and I'm here for it. Also Bills games here go hard. I'm not even a Bills fan and I was having a great time.

Came here on a saturday with a large group of friends and had to leave after 30 minutes because the…read morespace was so small and packed you couldn't really move. Id recommend coming with one or two other people if you'd like to stay a while. My only complaint was standing at the bar for over 10 minutes waiting to get a drink and kept being overlooked or ignored. The drinks were okay, I got a high noon so can't really go wrong with that but I heard their mojitos are good.

I saw a lot of bad reviews but like any "Dive Bar" , your expectations should be low. Try it yourself. The actual bar interior is a classic. I would suggest going there when it's non bar rush hour, like it's a day drinking bar. Cheers.

This bar was awesome-- bartender was a guy called Scott who said he'd newly started but actually knew his stuff and converted my "just the one" plan into "I've got to be done at four lagers". Ask him for the Irish jokes-- he beat me at them, had me impressed-- and that's saying something, my Irish joke repertoire is, frankly, formidable. If your an Arsenal or EPL fan or not, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Hit up this bar soon after we went to another. It's in an area on Ashland where there's lots of…read moredive bars with cheap drinks and interesting characters. Ten Cat Tavern is pretty divey while being pretty nice at the same time. Kind of has a quiet coolness to it. Lots of cheap drinks and some more expensive stuff as well. As for the drinks it's mostly basic. It's about $6 for a cocktail. The cheapest ones include some pretty cheap whiskey. Also they have cheap cans of PBR. Seems like most people here are drinking beer, and these mostly are in bottles and cans like how a dive bar should. Also has a couple pool tables that somehow fit. The bar is pretty small but the coziness makes it charming though. Pretty clean. The place is dim so it's hard to know for sure. Got to mention for those who couldn't tell by the name that it's also pet friendly. It's usually dogs in here ironically. There's also a jukebox with a good collection of songs, and a few TVs for watching games or things.
