Pippin 's is a great little dive bar with no-nonsense (but helpful and attentive) service. A great place to stop in for a cold beer and quick bite if you're exploring downtown Chicago.

Jason Goree

My favorite downtown dive ! This place has a great mix of people from all over. The Drinks are strong and the staff is great! Just please...don't play Don't Stop Believing on the jukebox ....

Bryce Warner

Affordable cozy bar . Great spot for after work drinks. Lots of regulars. Open till 4am week nights and 5am on the weekends!

Steven Bell

About as Irish as a bar in London.tasty local beers .but big foamy heads equals small pints..Guinness pints being pulled did not look good. staff not overly friendly .. One beer done me and moved on.

John Amundsen

Cozy lil bar in Streeterville where you can order hot dogs , polish, burgers , etc., from Downtown Dogs next door. One of my favorite places for lunch by the office .

Allison Kaminski

Great late night place !! Hidden gem by the mag mile

Artem Pelenitsyn

Cheap food going perfect with the beer . Decent list of beer brands

Brian Fojtik

Pippin 's is the place to be for a true Chicago tavern experience. Very diverse clientele due to location. I have loved Pippin 's since I first walked in in 1988.

Shane Roach

Between the stuffy, overpayed crowd in the neighborhood there is this great little bar to let loose and enjoy yourself.

Brandy Robison

Best bar in Chicago so far! Reminds me of the pub in Indy! Great staff , great specials!

Megan Hurt

Fries !! And cheeseburger . Our waitress brought us another plate of fries after she served the first ones because she said they weren’t warm enough. Needless to say, I did not mind at all.

Craig Brasington

This place is Chicago! Great bartenders , friendly patrons, great selection and a classic Chicago Irish Pub !

Great drinks and good music . Nice place to watch a game or watch people. Both equally entertaining.

Sean Obrien

Doug the bartender ! Awesome. Great place any time of day or night!!

Brian Fojtik

Chicago fave b/c of diverse clientele-students, intn'l flight crews, construction workers, millionaires neighbors, tourists-be warned it's a joint- your stool likely to wobble, service inconsistent

Martín Wankiewicz

Pippins its a great place, the barman its frendly, come back i hope

Lesly Marieth

Drinks are great. Bartender supeeeer!

Curtis Hiller

Nice bartenders . It's a dive but the clientele Saturday afternoon was fun.

Laura Bergersen

It's one of my favorite places by Loyola. And they serve Chicago Dogs from place next door.

Luke Forbes

A taste of old school authentic Chicago, in the most commercial area dt... See what the old neighborhoods feel like, for real Chicagoans

Taylor Keene

Hidden gem of an Irish pub with awesome draft beer selection :)

Parker Gibson

Drinks are great perfect spot to drop in and hang at.

Craig Stark

Martha rocks! Best bar in downtown Chicago. Dive bar one block of the miracle mile. Does it get any better?

Christian Tafoya

Grab a drink and a Chicago style dog.

Shannon Jeropke

The food is a bit overpriced but it’s very good!

Taylor Friehl

Ignore the rude guy that checks IDs at the front door, he'd rather be somewhere else. Made up for by the great service from our waitress . Get sweet potato fries .

Martyn H

Try the Hamms . It's $2 of liquified glory. Feels like you made out with a babbling brook.

Joe

Awesome little hole in the wall bar !

Shawn McDaniel

Beer menu , liquor selection

Jyoti Gill

The Bloody Mary's are phenomenal!

RJ Taylor

One of my favorite bars , hands down!

Joe Becker

Best "Dive" in Chicago.

Kelly K

Surprisingly cheap and unpretentious, given its location.

Dan. Mastretta

The place is great, just beware If you are foreign you will need your passport, no other ID permitted for us.

Dan. Mastretta

If you come from abroad, bringing your passport is the only way to get in, they won't accept other foreign IDs and it's understandable.

Judah Richardson

A "last chance" bar if there ever was one. If you strike out here, your night is done.

Giovanna Fretz

Ask for jimmy the bartender . He knows how to take care of valued customers.

Ashley V

They are like the only place in this town with Sam Adams Seasonal. Mad props!!!

Trey Sizemore

Tuesday night and crazy busy. Obviously the place to be.

Mike McCarthy

Devin is a great dude, Sox fan, Bears fan and Bulls fan. Can't ask for much more than that.

Matt Kaufmann

Sarah is the flyest chick on the scene. Ask where her section is. Straight up Louisiana

Ja H

Shake Devin the Mayors hand after he cards you, then order a $2 can of Hamms

Jake Zickefoose
