Total Hidden Gem in Irving Park…read more From the outside, you might think you know what you're getting into. But the second you step through the door, all assumptions go out the window. The Unforgettable Bar is a masterful clash of vibes: it's part neighborhood sports dive, part old-timey classic Chicago hang, and completely brilliant. The owners have taken an old 70s bar and treated it with an incredible amount of respect, keeping it spotless while injecting an absolute ton of personality. What really blows me away are the intentional, thoughtful touches everywhere you look. In a world where customer service often feels like an afterthought, the hospitality here makes you feel immediately valued. It's rare to find a spot that nails the details this well while keeping the music great and the energy totally unpretentious. Huge hats off to the owners--you've built something truly special here. A perfect neighborhood joint with a soul.

Really cool neighborhood dive bar. Very clean. Fun decor and art work. I appreciated the Prince…read morepainting. I also appreciated the old school pinball machine and pool table. Helpful and friendly service. The bartender was great. They do mystery shots here and I appreciate the fun, and they're only $2! You roll a dice and see which number you get. None of the mystery bottles are straight liquor, which is a relief. They are all mixes. The mystery shot I had smelled really good and tasted sweet. I also had a cocktail. For a dive bar, the cocktail prices seemed a little high ($14) at first, but I can tell they use good quality ingredients for these craft cocktails so it makes sense. I had the Port in the Storm and it was okay. I couldn't really taste the flavors listed, especially the rum. My friend had a glass of rosé and the pour seemed a little small. I noticed they have a really nice happy hour with 50% off many items so I'll have to come back for that. Welcoming atmosphere and positive vibes. I would definitely come here again.

My lovely wife wanted to check out a new dive bar, so we wandered into Teddy Bear Lounge, located…read moreon Pulaski a bit south of Addison. The establishment actually has two entrances, though the place would not seem large enough to have two of them. There is one teddy bear in the house (otherwise it might be called "Teddy Bears" ?). Our server was kind, and she mentioned right away that they were a cash only bar. We had some beers, watched some bad baseball on TV, and listened to an eclectic selection of music during our Saturday afternoon visit. The framed photos of Chicago sports venues remind you that this is a sports bar.

Denise was the sweetest ever....and Halloween decorations already up?? You over achievers. The 2026 calendar from strange bar sunday led me here and I was not disappointed. Food is either chicken wings (I did find these over breaded for my taste) or pizza. Tuesday seems to be night to swing by as they have rotating activities (first through third Tuesdays though!) Swing by for a great serpentine bar designed to let people chat easier!!

Long story short we did not go out of our way to The Levee, we ended up here because of the rain…read more The Levee seems like one of those neighborhood bars, it had an old homey feel to it. The crowd seemed like they were having fun singing along to their favorite tunes. They do not offer draft beer so we ordered two cans of Revolution A Little Crazy. The reason for the two stars is because we felt awkward, almost like we did not belong. *Cash only.*

Great neighborhood dive bar! Friendly service. Treated us tourists just like locals. CASH ONLY!!…read moreI'm not sure if food was served. Just a 10 minute walk from my daughter's house.

Lots of domestic and craft beer choices. As their name implies, they do not serve food. There are restaurants on the surrounding streets, and you are welcome to bring food in.

Classic looking dive. It looks pretty worn out, from the patrons to the bar itself. Di's Den is one…read moreof those neighborhood hangouts. Just happened to catch this place going by on the bus and turned out better than it seemed like it was luckily. The drinks are pretty cheap, and there's a pool table. A place like this is becoming rarer with the cheap drinks. It's about $6 for some of the stronger stuff. They have one of those chilled Jagger things. Always a welcome sight in a dive bar. Plenty of cheap beers in bottles and cans, as well as plenty of the hard stuff. Has some entertainment. They're popular for darts, and you can play pool. Kind of cramped in here and hard to move around. This is even worse when it's a busy time like when there's a game. Have some good and cheap drinks. It has some cheap ass beer or some cheap strong cocktails if you prefer. There's also patrons who like it for playing darts, the pool table, and whatever.
