North City Tavern

This place holds a special spot in my heart because my boyfriend's whole family has been going here for years.

But, favoritism aside, this is a really great bar. The bartenders are great and efficient, drinks are strong and cheap, and they've got all kinds of theme days, specials, and fun things to do. It's a total dive, but well kept. The patrons are all friendly, and of course there will be a creeper or two, but they go away if you ignore them. It's a bar, you guys!

Of course, I will be back! Where else are we all going to spend Christmas afternoons?

Bar is hard on the nose, bartender is hard on the eyes. Trashy little seedy joint where nothing good happens.

This place is a dive and proud of it.. A lot of the regulars can be rough around the edges but they are for the most part harmless. People that don't like dive type bars shouldn't go to them.  This place has a lot of history and as other reviews have alluded to no pretentions. One thing I like is that I only stop by maybe twice a year but you almost always are surprised by the crowd. There are a steadfast group of regulars that have been coming here for years, but seem to always see a group or a few individuals that break that mold. If your not up tight worth a stop if nothing else to know what you haven't been missing since 1929.
