The cash-only, dine-in deal is simple: one quarter-pound burger for $1. Sliced tomatoes , lettuce, onion and pickles are free upon request, and each burger comes with your choice of fries or salad . Read more

Chicago Tribune

If you're looking for the cheapest of cheap eats, there's no way you could possibly beat $1 burger night here. Gay bars aren't exactly known for their value, but the burgers here are fairly solid. Read more

Great vibe. I went bc I thought it was a lesbian bar but it isn't really -- that's only during the FKA party.

Time Out Chicago

Come here for the very fresh, very generous Mediterranean salad , crisp fish and chips and huge slices of chocolate layer cake—the same cake you ogle on the host stand every time you brunch at Tweet. Read more

Francisco Perez

A Chicago original. Good beer selection and the interior is amazing . You must check it out!

Chris Duhaime

Of all the gay bars in Chicago , this is one of my favorites! Great people, great/sexy bartenders , and a fun atmosphere .

Jose Cabaltera

unpretentious local pub and bistro . Good crowd. Accessible. Outdoor patio for summer nights.

Theo Estes

You can drink here, dance here and then the next morning you can have brunch and the hair of the dog here. What more could you want from a bar ?

Cody Reynolds

Every night is a good night. Great bartenders . Sunday 4-6 free food, Monday $1 burgers can't be beat.

Phoenix Jimenez

Great place to dance on a Saturday night.

Autumn Choi

Unpretentious is a good word. Good crowd, welcoming, inclusive. Friendly neighborhood bar

Mayor's Tip: Tip with paper not coins! Such an insult to a bartender ! If your that cheap you shouldn't be at a bar !

Jillian

If you want to have a really fun night, this place is epic. Dance your heart out and hang with the cool kids. Dollar burgers on Monday nights . Just go.

Trish Doran

Scot Mincey

One of the best bars I've been to!!!! Make sure to dance at least once on the platform !!!

Andrew Inman

Irony is gay men rocking out to cheap beer and good food surrounded by pictures and paintings of large women. That said, I really recommend this place.

Tracey Swanson

Good veggie dogs if you're into that. Slices of cake are huge and delicious.

Carlos Rios

Dollar burgers on Monday nights is a great deal at this Uptown neighborhood GLBT bar . Cheese is an extra dollar but so worth it!

Martin Hecko

The fries have an awesome texture but have a corn oil aftertaste. The food is competent, but not amazing. Good value . Vegetarian selection is OK – the bean burger is a bit bland.

Chicagoist

Make happy hour plans to take advantage of stellar weekday specials like $1 burger night . Read more

$1 burger night and the crowd... Definitely loved all the times I come here I must say..

Veggie Chicago

One of the best vegetarian menus in the city despite being a bar . Plenty of vegan options too!

Joseph S.

Always a fun time! And Juan the bartender is soooo nice (and hot)!

Tom Bellino

Free veggie-friendly barbecue and $2 vodka lemonades on Sundays at 4pm and $3 bourbon drinks on Mondays.

Cash only . Sweetest employees, be nice and tip well .
