Ridiculous drink prices even though they advertise happy hour specials. I won't be back! Food was expensive and looked liked Sysco special! Thank God I didn't eat there, just wish I ordered one drink and left! Seems like they have different prices for people they know! read more

Great deal for a low key night but awful bouncer and guests. Me and another friend got spilled on by an old man who grabbed us forcefully by the arm and kissed our check while the bouncer wouldn't kick him out. Do not attend this place if you are a female alone with another female. Bouncer should be fired for allowing an older man to grab another female and I like that and force himself on us. read more

This place is just classic, really nothing else to say. Chill people, great bartenders...one of my favorites. Always come here when I visit town! read more

Seems like the bartenders here just make up the price. First time I ordered two drafts it was $13. Ordered the same exact set a second time and it was $15. Bartender got very short with me when I asked why the price was different. Wouldn't recommend - many better bars in the area that are a lot cheaper than this "dive bar"! read more

A great little divey sports bar. The food menu features standard fried bar food, but the bartenders are amazingly beautiful and quick with the refills! read more

$5.50 for domestic bottles, no ability to make a decent cocktail, the food and the service are not good...luckily for you the bartenders are not here for their skill. Sexy, buxom, Eastern European women tend bar in this dive on State Street. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the great places to go in Chicago, but this just isn't my idea of what a good bar should be. As always, past performance does not guarantee future results. Check it out and make your own decision. read more

I was looking for a place to hang out on new year's Eve and went here because every other place was either chock full or demanding body parts for entry. I was a skeptic initially, I have to admit. The drink prices were fair and quantity was reasonable though. The owner comped us an extra whiskey when he realized he made a mistake with the order. Add to it the blazing fast service (new year's Eve, mind you) and free rounds at midnight, I think we got more than our money's worth. Definitely want to check out this place again! read more

Snickers gets 4 stars for the service, atmosphere and bartenders. The only time this place isn't fun is when John (the Manager?) is there. He likes to put money in the jukebox, turn it up, and play terrible music (the same songs over and over) which normally kills the atmosphere and sends half the patrons running to another bar. Other than that, a fun place to grab a cheap Old Style, people watch, and practice your Polish with the bartenders! read more

Was not impressed with this place. Was first spot we went on a long weekend in Chicago. They are greedy with their drink charges. Most other places are more reasonable. read more

If you are not Eastern European don't bother. Wow! I have never had my money been refused more at a bar. If you speak Russian then your fine if not don't bother. Less then 1/2 star!!!### read more

Skip it! The only thing good was the attractive blond bartender with the provocative accent. But wait, what were the extra charges on my bill? Three lines of tax? Something's fishy! Food reviews for the group were not good (simple cheese burger and chicken tenders) and we had to return a glass of water for mysterious black floaties at the bottom of the glass. There are so many other better places around just keep walking. read more

Fun atmosphere for a group of friends! Only problem is the bartender has a bitchy rude attitude. Customer service is lacking at the bar!

While the vibe was alright, your standard dive-ish, the beers aren't priced like it. $7 for a draft beer, $9 for an all CO2 Guinness, way over priced. read more

Seems like a decent bar but just tried to go there with my GF and had a terrible experience. We walked in and two seats were open at the bar with no drinks at the table. Some guy walks up behind us and says they were his seats and that we shouldn't be there. After listening to this drunk guy for a few minutes we left and went somewhere else. read more

If you're looking for a dive bar, this is it. The place looks like it hasn't been updated since 1978. The bar space itself is not bar. It's a center bar with seating around it. They had two bar tenders so you did really have to wait for a drink which it nice. I will say the drinks a pricy. $10 for a small rum and coke in a dive bar is outrageous. There's plenty of bars in the area. I'd suggest going to them. read more

Went in for a beer past midnight as our night didn't feel over. The beers were surprisingly expensive considering, but not outrageous. What was outrageous was the bartenders who were gorgeous. read more

Snickers is amazing. The service is the best--fast, friendly, and efficient. It is the kind of place where by the third visit, the bartender waves at you as you walk in, and your drink of choice is waiting on the bar by the time you walk up. Snicker's has an extensive beer selection (mostly cans and bottles, not so much on tap). The Old Style is cheap (and really, if you are at Snickers, you should be drinking Old Style), everything else is a little more expensive. After four or five rounds there is a decent chance you'll get a round free, especially if it is quiet. Great mix of regulars and visitors, locals and tourists. The food is classic Chicago bar fare--burgers, gyros, fried things. The food is cheap, greasy and perfect for what it is. The French Burger is actually exceptionally good (though what's French about it, I can't say), as is the gyros. It's a warm and cozy in the winter, and open and breezy in the summer (the big windows open completely and it feels like a terrace). It's a bit of a beer and shots place, though they do have a wide array of high quality liquors including some bourbons and tequilas that you don't often find in bars. It can get packed on Friday nights, but it is usually pretty comfortable and it is a friendly crowd--if you belly up to the bar all alone, there is a good chance you will have a new friend by the second round. For dates? Probably not. For Easter brunch with your mom? No. For day drinking, after-work cocktails, watching a Hawks/Sox/Bulls game, pre-gaming before other events, or pondering life's philosophies with a beer? There is no place better on the face of this earth. read more

I love cubs, I love Old Style. $3!!!! I love gyros and polish sausage. Yes, this place is f-#$ing golden. I marked the bar stool I sat on and I am selling to the highest bidder. I wouldn't give this f-#$in' bar up for f-#$in' $#@%!! read more

I Love this bar. I'm a local, and it seems like a "tourist" bar at a glance......but it's one of those small town bars mixed amongst the rest of them. Bottom line is great food, AMAZING service from any of the three main and only bartenders here. Great regular crowd and music is the last plus, making Snickers unforgettable for one drink or many !! read more

Normally I would support a dive bar in Chicago's downtown, but a place like this is one of the reasons there isn't many around. The cheap beer still has downtown prices and the food was awful. i sawa fly hover around the open gyros turning thing and it made me not relish my favorite dish for a while. An interesting mix and this bar could eaisly fit right in downtown Green Bay. read more

The greatest example of a dive bar, I have seen. Where is in the U.S. can you get a Pabst Blue Ribbon and gyro for under 10 bucks.

Drinks are good. Service is good. The burgers are awesome! This is a great neighborhood kinda place. Convenient to some of the better hotels around downtown Chicago but the prices are more reasonable than meals at those hotels. read more

Wait...i went here? I guess I did. Its a corner dive bar, just like every other review says. go here for that. I like to call it "shnickers" with empahsis on the "sh" and i'm not sure why. read more

Decent bar with great beer choices. $18 for 2 beers a komakozi and a jager bomb. It's not The Garage in Mobile Al but it will do.

This bar is a dive that prices there food as though they are a high class dive, and they are defiantly NOT. The patrons are daily regulars and not nice to outsiders. Snickers is known for the hot bartenders that are not friendly at all. On occasion they have a crazy girl that picks fights with everyone by yelling loudly, and claiming to "call her posse". read more

Snicker's is a great place to grab a drink mid-day or in the evening. Super casual place to hangout and chill. I've been there a handful of times and the same staff is always working. Always smiling, friendly, and she always remembers us. Which I think is very impressive because we are not regulars. The best time I had at Snicker's was after the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup rally last month. We stayed most of the night. Great music was playing, people were dancing, and everyone was having a great time. Definitely will come here again for a drink or two. read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall bar that we found just walking around Chicago. Friendly patrons and bartenders, and you can always find a good beer to sip here. Love their selection and the atmosphere. We always like to kill some time here when get a chance. read more

not as much fun as past visits. the crowd for thursday night football was different. 20-30 year olds dressed nicely with fancy shoes and slicked back hair. where are the degenerates & local drunks? maybe it's the upgraded 42" hdtvs, maybe snickers has become yuppie cool, or maybe it was a one-off exception for the game. whatever the reason, just not as much fun. place seemed a little more lit up (could have been the new tvs or the orange lights hanging over the bar) and upbeat. read more

Lunch with a high life and Gyro plate. Yep. Count me in. Plus the bartenders are always very nice. Can get a bit packed late night. Hit it up early for a base. One of the most grounded, albeit Divey bars in River North. read more

If could have given a zero star I would have , both bartenders were drunk and couldn't even take care of the men drinking which is the only way I would have gotten a drink I waited 15mins sitting at the bar and wasn't even acknowledged and left after watching the bartender throw tabs on the floor and start new ones!! Hope this bar figures out they need to staff better before it goes under , seemed like it would have been a great place ! read more

Just another dive bar, nothing really special about it. They do serve food and several in my group had some and liked it. The complaint we had was it was too bright in there to actually be a dive bar. read more

Place to stop if you're in need of a drink while walking to your next drinking establishment, there's always room for gyros with your drink. read more

This place was a fun first stop for some out of towners. It was exactly what we were looking for: PBRs, regulars, and a late night burger. I wouldn't hold a wedding here, but a simple place and I will for sure come back when I am looking for a quick drink at a dive. read more

Short and simple. This place is very convenient, not too crowded, and decently priced. However, if you plan on drinking anything other than Miller Lite, be prepared to have some stale tap beer. However, if you see a spry, 50-something gentleman in a sweater vest in a corner, make sure to introduce yourself to Jimbo. He's quite the character! read more

snickers is definitely a dive bar, so don't have high expectations. i go here when i need food and have little cash. that being said, i was in for lunch with my friend today and between the two of us (with no booze), i spent $25. um what. the food is okay... almost all of it comes frozen and is reheated. also found a hair in my food. gross. interesting clientele at this place. read more

Great neighborhood bar, wonderful friendly bar tenders. Great late night food, good prices

Wells G&T was $9.50. Didn't want to sound like a cheap Charlie and ask the price before I ordered. Granted this is in the River North area and it is good for people watching, but I think most of their mixed drinks are around the same price as the cocktails (?). If on a budget, order the cheap beer on special. If out on business related drinking, I'd say who gives a (bleep) and try to get the firm to pay for mixed drinks. read more

I came in here sober, but somehow didn't notice that the only thing Irish about it was the tacky clovers plastered on the wall and neon green motif. Considering some of the St. Patty's days of years past, this was not a good start to the one for this year. I ordered some sandwich that I thought sounded culturally relevant to the occasion and some jalepeno poppers because I'm a suburban grown overmarketed dolt. My sandwich turned out to be poorly slapped together roast beef that had no flavor to start and added less flavor with the garnish of iceberg lettuce and tomato that's must have been sitting in a refrigerator for the better part of the month. The jalepeno poppers were not even cooked all the way. I didn't even get any heat until I go to the jalepeno itself, because the cheese was still cold. Not good eats. The lone star is for the attractive eastern european women who were tending bar that day. The only rewarding part. read more

Great little dive. Nice regulars. Always a nice lady behind the bar. In other words, my kinda joint.

We stopped in for a couple beers and enjoyed the atmosphere, good music on a juke box, fun and friendly bartender. Even though I was only drinking water, she never skipped over me while serving beers to everyone around me. Fun music, some dancing and just an all around fun bar. It was a nice welcome to see their good prices compared to all the "fancier" bars in the area. Definitely worth visiting this bar but do not go there if you only want crystal glasses & fine china. I will definitely go back any time that I'm in the Chicago area. Prices were great and the bar and the people were fun. read more
