Blueberry Hill

This is a great place and the only thing keeping me from giving it four stars is the lack of food. It's right on the west edge of Forest park and is the only joint I'm aware of nearby that opens by 7:00 A.M.
   The range of songs on the box reflect the geezerhood that are the main customers early on to the younger guys coming in later after work and playing 8 or 9 ball on the 7' pool table. There's an interesting checkerboard darkwood area over the bar that sports a bunch of old gas light looking lamps and a big picture of Chief Illiniwek flanked by the U of I "I" in blue on an orange field and the U of I "I" in orange on a blue field on the south wall. Otherwise the place is a mish mosh of different wall boards and a black and white tiled floor scuffed by thousands of shoes.
   Basic shot and a beer bar stock presided over by Michael this morning. The conversation is always friendly and the vibe is always good. An added plus is that if you come from the west on you can park for nothing west of the alley.

My favorite dive bar ever. I drive here all the way from Wood Dale (near O'Hare) for Friday night karaoke!

Joy is the best KJ :) and Matt a pretty darn good bartender too (despite his acidic sense of humor).

Definitely ask for an apple pie shot with alcoholic whipped cream. I have NEVER tasted an apple pie shot that actually tasted so much like apple pie!

Having been there for three weeks in a row now I have to say i make new friends every week! this place is one of the friendliest bars ive been to. of course the first time i went in there i didnt know what to think but after the karaoke started and i got to talking to people i made some great people, the bartender is a nice guy and the drinks are cheap, if youre looking for a good fun time this is the place!!!!
