No food menu, so don't plan to balance those high alcohol content Belgians with munchies! Great low key spot though, including organic brew options.

Excellent classic cocktails (love their Dark & Stormy ) and great music . Cheap ginger beer if you are going booze free for the night. Cash only !

Cozy dive-bar. If you're in the mood for beer , drink beer . If you're in the mood for wine , drink wine . No kitchen. So if you're in the mood to munch, have a plan.

A great corner bar in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood . Order a Negroni or a classic Old Fashioned .

My go-to when I want a great drink at a reasonable price in a bar with low levels of pretension. Read more

Time Out Chicago

The former scruffy saloon changed hands a couple of years ago and morphed into a spot to sip craft beers while DJs spin. But one thing has stayed the same: no TVs . Read more

The cocktails are solid and the bartenders will gladly riff on the classics to mix it up for you.

Photobooth and cash-only. Fantastic music and cocktails . Usually a great crowd.

Chip Hamlett

The fine folks behind the bar are what really make this place special

Mike Ewing

Don't get a cocktail . The ambiance is great but the cocktails are tiny and subpar. Get a beer and have a good time with good tunes .

Todd Barnhart

Definitely no longer a dive bar . Reading of what once was (http://www.chibarproject.com/Reviews/Charleston/Charleston.htm) makes me a bit sad.

Hollie Smith

Bring cash for the photo booth in the back!

David Strasser

Try the photobooth in the back after a few drinks.

Hannah ...

ask for chalk at bar , leave your mark on back blackboard wall!

This awesome place is not a dive bar . It's more like a classy joint .

Time Out Chicago

When to go: A recent change of ownership means a new cocktail list and an array of DJ nights. Read more

Awesome spot. Loved the beer selection. Personal fav is the draft Negra Modelo. Food is great too: cheese curds come with buffalo ranch dressing (yum) & the buffalo chicken quesadillas are great. - Laney B
