The hippest Abe Lincoln bar this side of Springfield. Live music , tall-boy Oberon beer for under $10, bartenders that wear their t-shirts to their knees but treat you like you’re the bees-knees!

Paddy

Quite a good Logan Sq dive bar . Beer selection was diverse and plentiful like any good dive bar should be. Friendly bartender makes it a very enjoyable place.

Samantha Kuhn

This bar is not a hipster bar , it's just the ultimate 20 something bar ...I feel like I'm in the movie Reality Bites. Reasonable prices, great music , and the most adorable bartender ever. So perfect.

Mike

$2 PBR and live music . A grungy , hipster-laden dive bar that's a fun stop for anyone drinking up and down Milwaukee Avenue.

Chicagoist

Most of the bartenders , who happen to be inhumanly nice, are in pop and rock bands that take the stage on occasion, but you’ll hear everything from hip hop to folk. Read more

Hipster haven , but decent booze & they are the best of the hipsters in LS. Put on a dirty shirt & don't be pretentious & you'll have a good time

Lindsey Houghton

Steven Anderson

Check out I Lost Control perform original post-punk, indie rock on May 8th. Grab one of the many great beers on tap , hang with the hipsters , shoot pool, and then head to the back room for the music . Read more

Rob Cornelius

One of my favourite bars for shooting pool in Chicago. Always good competition.

Yazmin Leyva

Free standup on Wednesday and live music on the weekends. A shitload of hipsters though.

Joseph B.

Probably the best drink prices in Logan and Wicker . Chill people, good bartenders .

Audrey Leon

Cozy watering hole where you can catch relatively good music for free. Extra points for having bottled Purple Haze .

Allison Kaminski

Super dive but super fun!

David Weathersby

Cool bar with a definite social Community.

Steven Vance

Never a cover and almost always never a line (unless there's a popular band)

Andrew Healan

don't let the negative restroom graffiti get you down, this place has a positive vibe

Sarah

According to these tips I must be a hipster but this place rules. No cover for shows, cheap drinks .

Brittany Nicole

Good dive. Super casual . Friendly bartender .

Deanna

Agree with everyone,,,too many hipsters but worth going to.

If you order a rum and coke expect mostly rum ! Awesome!

Tim O'Bryan

Open mic night is always a great time.

Manbque

Got a fixie? You'll need knee surgery in a few years. Grab a beer . I bet you'll choose a PBR .

Drew Hackney

$2 PBR cans can't go wrong.

David Heiser
