My friend had to move both items - despite the host literally standing beside us. She did not even take the items away when he moved them. She pointed us to the QR code and left. Within 3-5 minutes she came back and we were refused service due to a "smell of marijuana" which was a complete false statement, discriminatory and racist. It was clearly based on an assumption rather than facts. We went to another establishment down the street and were served with no issues.

The Cove is your friendly neighborhood dive bar. If you are looking for a place to meet new and…read moreinteresting people, grab a drink after a long workday, or hang with friends on the weekend, then this is your place. I love it here because you can get a super-boozy Old Fashioned for only $10. You will also get friendly bartenders who actually enjoy meeting patrons and making conversation with them. I like grabbing a seat right at the bar (when there is a seat available because it is typically crowded) because that is where you can meet the most interesting characters. This is not the place to come if you are looking for drinks with frills. This also is not the place where you can get some nosh with your liquor, but I have seen folks order and bring in food. There's not live music (i.e.: a DJ), but there is a paid jukebox in the back. #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFoodAndDrink #YelpEliteSquad

If you're coming here for drinks, it's probably a great vibe, but if you're coming for food, I…read morewould recommend elsewhere. I want to preface my review with the positives, Londyn was our server & was truly so kind, thorough, and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean & all tables have clear views of the TVs on game days. Now for the room for improvement- the food was very underwhelming. Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wings, and sesame ginger salad: -Brussel sprouts: tasted like they weren't seasoned just air fried and drenched in balsamic dressing -Buffalo cauliflower: soggy, unseasoned, runny buffalo sauce -Wings: PERFECTLY CRISPY, but no flavor (we ordered lemon pepper & buffalo) -Sesame ginger salad: sloppy mix of vegetables tossed in an overly sweet sauce with no sesame or ginger flavor in sight If you're not going to eat, this is probably a great spot, but from a food standpoint, there is room for improvement.

Last Tuesday I visited this location with my aunt and uncle. This is a place I frequent and…read moregenuinely enjoy. I travel all the way from Blue Island, Illinois because I appreciate the atmosphere, camaraderie, and overall ambiance here--it's by far my favorite location. Unfortunately, during this visit, the experience fell short. The bartender, Ariel, did not make us feel welcome. My uncle was overlooked when trying to order a drink, and my aunt was hungry but unable to get assistance. After waiting and feeling ignored, we decided to leave and go to another bar. That said, I've noticed the level of service here can be inconsistent depending on the day or staff. Some visits have been great, while others haven't met the same standard, which is disappointing given how much I enjoy this place. I truly want to continue supporting this location, but consistency in service would make a big difference. For now, I may limit my visits to Wednesdays, as those experiences have consistently been positive.

This was my first there.
