Fuller's Pub II

Yes, I'm a fan. I went here because my friend and I wanted to have some daytime drinks and Fuller's was open! Pleasant surprise... great service, excellent prices! The old timer regulars were friendly. I'm glad I stopped in!

I've been stopping by this place off and on for a decade.  It has a core group of older regulars that keep the place going, and they (and often the staff) give new patrons the hairy eyeball, which can be a little off-putting.  However, if you return enough times, you are welcomed into the bizarre inner-circle.

Mostly domestic beers and standard liquors.  

It can sometimes get a little "red state" along the rail.  Like all bars, its always best to stay out of political commentary.  

They've had the same shabby carpet for 20 years, and it smells like it.

Overall, Fuller's is fine for a quick beer and shot, but not a place I would make my permanent local.

Fullers was exactly what I expected when we walked in. A dive bar simple and plain. My bff and I went to see a play that was being put on at the bar about the election of 1985 here in Chicago. It was an awesome play I might add. The bar is certainly old school and the bartenders took their time. I saw them at one in of the bar, They noticed I was standing there at the other end but never came that way....ok.... I figured I better go to that end to get service, and wouldn't you know they went down to the end of where I was originally at. I smiled and eventually got my order placed. This place is definitely for the regulars. I'm feeling that play brought a lot of diversity that night and it may be a long time for it sees more days like that. Fullers was great for that moment but do not think I will be back.
