  I wouldnt call this place a hole in a wall because it looks really nice inside.  Its small but its cool.  They show the games, easy to talk to folks including the bartendars, and a huge thing....cheap drinks!  How can you not like this place.

  Well when this place first opened, I have visited this place often and was good to know who's whos there.
  
  Though there was replacement bartenders and had to teach the new bartender what i like and service and then it went down in service.  So if you frequent often then bartender is caring you more than others.  
  
  Even though I'm from the industry and i tip well for 7-10 beers and a Shot of Chilled Stoli O - I always tip $20 bucks and still do that every place i go, but still i dont get the service i use to get.
  
  The Owners are nice and now and then I seen their daughter work there she is a nice person.
  
  As i don't live in the area any more 1 day I'll stop by to check it out again, hope i see a familiar face or I'll just leave after 1 drink, because bartenders need to stay to keep the crowd keep coming back.
  
  Also I after they started I purchase the domain as well, <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbar57west.com&s=fff53d6729cb22049922ba1792bee9688840b071990d6b1ee3e91566f6339ffc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bar57west.com</a> & <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbar57west.net&s=b36d36f9726739e6892008897d0b0a75c256d1d5577bc1f5b8bcc00be2dbfb35" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bar57west.net</a> belongs to m when when ever they plan to buy it to promote their business.
  
  Later all

  I wanted to go to another bar on Higgens I haven't hit yet, but it seems closed always on sundays. So I kept heading East on Higgens until I found this place. The only thing about this place that was memorable was they have a security cam to the outside up at the bar. You can watch and make fun of people in the bar going out for a cancer smoke. I never seen any other bar with this feature. Aside from that this is just another small neighborhood bar with little on tap and mostly bottle stuff.

  Love it! For a small neighborhood hole in the wall type place it was really nice. Very updated. I got a top shelf drink for only $5...how can you not love it. Very sweet bartenders. Everyone knows each other which is always a fun vibe.

  This place is terrible. It's small, the service is the worst and the music is a joke.  White trash at its finest.  It belongs in a hick town. I feel guilty for even giving 1 star.

  They fired the best worker they had!  No more 57 for me and my crew.  Ever.

  Went here on a Saturday night to catch the Blackhawks game. The bartender was friendly, and I had a good time. I will go back again.

  After a lengthy close, the former *old man* bar is reborn as a clean modern local joint that's a nice place to grab a drink. Don't expect to get the warm and fuzzies but they do try.
