Hands down, one of, if not the BEST bar in Chicago.
My friend and I come here for everything. Blackhawks games, gossip over drinks, shitty day at work? HEAD TO THE BOB!
One of the owners, Annie, is also a bartender and she is just the absolute best. She knows all the regulars by name, remembers things about your life, asks you about something you might've mentioned the month before, and is always there to listen if you need to vent. This is truly a neighborhood bar that cares about the neighborhood people. If you come here and treat it with love, it'll love you right back.
I really love this bar. I read the reviews before going and I was a little nervous about how service would be, given that I am not a regular. There was absolutely no problem. This bar reminds me of the bars in my hometown -- the bartenders are friendly, the atmosphere is homey -- but also there are biker-kinda people who would probably kick your ass if you take things too far. Pete (of Pete's Barber Shop) comes in here to do "dj sets" every once in a while and gets a good mix of classic rock (and such) going.
This bar has what ever good bar needs: good bartenders, the ability to hear the people next to you talking, accessibility from home, and a bar stocked with pretty much anything you'd ask for.
