When you've got Val or Candy bartending, its a win in my book! close to the train, and I love the mason jars of beer.

Love this place.  The co-workers and I stopped here for happy hour one evening after work.  It was a lovely warm-ish fall day, so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the patio.

$4 domestic draft beer in 32oz. mason jars...tasty apple pie shots with what they claim is "alcoholic whipped cream", and a friendly bartender and natives.  What's not to like?

As Karen G pointed out, there's no food.  We drank a lot and required some substance, but next time we'll be prepared.

Stop in.  A good time will be had!

This place is adorable.
Drinks served thru a open window on the deck for those too lazy to walk inside, $2 apple pie shots, $4 mason jars of swill beer, friendly natives, giant buckets of used cigs on each deck table.

( When I first arrived, I thought my friends had ordered a bucket of beer, imagine my surprise when I got closer and reached inside!)

The thing it was missing though was food. A small selection of bar food would have kept us there longer.  Also, some heat on their lovely front deck would be a great addition.

The parking situation is not ideal, but after 2 pm, you can park in the Metra lot and walk to the bar.  Check it out!
