This is the bar in which we waited for, and ate, our glorious fried chicken from Mini Hut. Not only did they graciously allow us to bring in outside food (apparently it's a common thing here), they provided plates, napkins, and silverware.
Not entirely sure, but this seemed like a cop bar. It's the kind of place that has regulars who take their day drinking seriously. It's definitely a beer-and-a-shot and not a martini establishment.
Drinks are cheap and the patrons are amusing. Each time someone opened their mouth to order a drink, I could swear it was The Regular Guy from XRT--that's how pronounced their Chicago accents were. I loved it. The Cubs game was on when we were there, and since we were in Sox country, the people in the bar cheered loudly every time the Cubs screwed up. And being the Cubs, this was often.
I'll definitely be back next time a trip to Mini Hut is on the horizon.
Very fun bar to go to, once in a while, it can get crowded, but unlike its neighbor a block away (lalwlors) where the crowd consists of a bunch of Jersey Shore wanna be douche bags who get in your face over just about anything. Here at Toms the waitresses are always very attnetive and will quickly serve you as soon as they can unlike at Lawlors where you might have to wait 10 minutes just to get a bucket of beer. Definitely one of the best bars on archer
