    Cold beers and a poker chip if you buy someone a drink!
    Sheila F.

    We wanted a local bar and % found it! It is a true gem. The beers are cold and the guests are welcoming. Emily was bartending and greeted us immediately. We enjoyed cold beers and great company! We will definitely add this to our must do list when in town!

    We had a layover in Chicago and were staying at the Hampton Inn, searching for a beer near by we came across this on Google and went, what a blast very friendly staff and bar tender Tish, my wife and I can't remember when such a great time in a bar, we will see you the next time we are in town.

    Jameson shot and cold PBR.

    I always wondered what the perfect neighborhood bar looked or felt like. Today I feel this is as close as I'll ever get. The bar is small and has a good feel. The bartenders and patrons are friendly. Drinks and shots are solid. The people definitely give you a feel of the neighborhood. It has a feel of grit and charm that no other bar has. I'm glad every town down doesn't have a place like this, because finding a place such as Mr C's makes traveling and exploring very worth it.

    Our dog Daisy loves this bar and so do we. amazing atmosphere. The bartender Mike is lovely and was so enjoyable to hangout with. He treated our shy puppy like a queen. The drinks are perfectly strong and hit just right. The ambiance is truly a Chicago classic and everything we could have asked for during a quick stop. We were sad we could not stay all day, but plan to make this our regular stop after a long flight.

    Cold beer

    Great dive bar within walking distance of the airport. If you have a long layover at Chicago Midway go check it out.

    There are photos of yesteryear and the airplanes and pilots that frequented Midway back when it was the busiest airport in the world.

    Still thinking about how unexpectedly amazing this burger was at MDW. I ordered it medium rare and…read moreit came out perfectly cooked, truly pink in the center, juicy, and full of flavor. Not that gray "airport medium" you usually get, but an actual proper medium rare. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and cooked evenly all the way through, and the bun held up without overpowering the burger. What really took this experience over the top, though, was the staff. Every single person was so kind and kept checking in, making sure everything was perfect. It almost felt weird how good the service was for an airport spot. Between the food and the hospitality, this was easily one of the best airport dining experiences I've ever had and honestly better than a lot of non-airport restaurants.

    Ambience is good as there's an enclosed bar adorned by tv screens everywhere giving that sports bar…read morevibe. The bartender/servers are nice and helpful. The food is packed with sodium and prepackaged but that's what's expected given the environment. The challenge is the staff doesn't wash their hands before preparing a drink or serving food after touching germy towels to wipe down the bar, workstation, utensils, their hair or clothing. Additionally the drink well is highly corroded and should be repaired or replaced. Based on that alone, I can only imagine the ice machine being full of mold and dirty water filters. I travel through this airport at least twice biweekly when traveling for business. This used to be my favorite spot. As of last week, I gave up on things changing. The employees have to see this mess and realize this is unhealthy for the patrons or anyone. I guess they don't believe in the "if you see something, say something" mentality. Or worst, management doesn't care. In either case it's a good time for health inspectors to surprise them with a good old visit! Until this is corrected and the area sanitized, steer clear.
