Lindsay Pomazal: Fish and chips are disappointing. Great selection of whiskey and dark beers.
Ava M: Great service, awesome atmosphere (fireplaces and no TVs), and a huge selection of scotch
Chicago Bar Bracket: Fantastic bar, outstanding selection of Scotch & great staff and regulars. Plus no TV's to distract you. Makes you actually talk to your company.... or your phone, I guess.

Dan: Their selection of craft beer is the best around. Great prices. They also have a person dedicated to their impressive whiskey section. Throw in free samples and friendly service and it's the best.
Nikolas Smith: Ask for "Ben the Beer Guy" and have him put you on the Binny's Ivanhoe Castle Beer Mail list. Great insider newsletter, and invites to tasting events, pairings, etc. Read more.

Dive Bar · South East Ravenswood · 43 tips and reviews
Joe Martin: Lots of good whiskey!
Samantha Bornemann: They didn't judge when I ordered a whiskey sour with green olives, many times over a few years.
Bobby Kennedy: Dark divey vibe inside, great beer garden outside, and lots of awesome beer on tap. Tamale man stops by too or the Diner Grill is 24 hours across the street.
Amy Graff: One of the only acceptable bars in Wrigleyville. Say 'hi' to Brendan on Mondays, get sloppy on whiskey. Reliable Tamale Man spotting place after Metro shows.
Michael Dorsey: Lively spot for a drink. Windows open for easy people watching on Clark. Cubs fans welcome!
Mikinzie Stuart: Probably the best bar you'll find in Wrigleyville. Decent crowd (ie not douchey or fratty), decent selection of beers on tap for a decent price and a jukebox with good alt/ indie rock tunes.

Paul Lorsbach: the best booze bang for your buck is a whiskey on the rocks. 7 bucks and prob 2.5 shots. do it.
Kyle McFarland: The arrangement or seating is great. The sound is amazing... And their craft beer on Nitro was perfect
The Feast: Get there a little early and stake out a spot on the upstairs balcony railing; sure, the floor's more fun, but the view from up top's unparalleled.
