Craft beers galore, respectable whiskey list too. Cozy and comfortable. You may think you want something besides a burger, but trust me, you don't. It's to die for. Skip the sweet potato fries though.
Among the best bars on the north side. Excellent (and affordable) beer/whisky selection, great food, and attentive service. Cool, laid-back atmosphere that is adult, but not pretentious.
Veggie burger and turkey burger are both excellent. Great beers on tap and the know how to sling them, plus cask strength Four Roses. Wow. Special points for their fresh, pillowy brioche rolls.
ChicagoistFebruary 19, 2015Nothing like a beer and burger to spruce up a Monday. This spot aptly delivers with their Monday special of $4 half liters of BBK, a Bavarian-style lager, and $5 half-pound burgers. Read more
Ghostly InternationalJune 20, 2011The B.O.B.'s amazing whiskey selection is one of the best in the city. Also, take a gander at the locally sourced food menu - try the Jalapeno Cheddarwurst with a Blanton's neat.
Redeye ChicagoMarch 6, 2015The sriracha-laced Bi Bim Bob and the chilaquiles with salsa verde are both served with your choice of carnitas, chicken, steak or vegetables. Read more
Bobby KennedyAugust 21, 2015The most comfortable, welcoming bar in this part of town. Always worth stopping in if nearby.
Ariel Aburto-MartinezOctober 15, 2012Nice touch the beer caramelized onions in the quesadillas and amazing beer selection. You should come
There is always a killer rotating draft list and the staff is great. An awesome neighborhood bar.
Edwin RamirezSeptember 5, 2017The level of pleasure I had while eating a burger is borderline obscene. Best $5 burger I've ever had.
I heart the jalepeno brat (or knockwurst as its sometimes called), so give it a whirl. Also, most servers there are very informed, trust your beer selection to them if in doubt.
Denise HibbardNovember 22, 2013Try the Woodford Reserve Manhattan and Old Forester Old Fashioned. Perfect for the bourbon drinker!
BoB burger is the best! Fresh fries. Always a great beer selection- The BOB burger is AMAZING and unique. Ask for Chris's special beers in the back that aren't on the menu. Great selection of sour beers among others!!
Thor RudebeckDecember 24, 2013The BOB Burger is amazing. In the summer, the front tables are open to the street.- This place can do no wrong. Small menu but its better that way. Everything is phenomenal. The grilled cheese with sweet potato fries is the best.
Wednesday Night Mac N Cheese special is the best. Different Mac N Cheeses every week.
Order the yummy quinoa salad as a side with your burger! ;)
Patrick CutticaDecember 21, 2012The B.O.B. Burger is incredible! But get the regular fries, sweet potato fries are not all that great.
Michael LorenzenNovember 4, 2011Not just a big beer selection, but the staff knows their stuff. Very helpful in deciding. Pretty good bar food as well at suburbs prices.
Imran JavedMay 30, 2011One word: Bottomfeeders Amazing band performs the first Sun. of every month. Don't miss 'em!
Edgar CarrilloApril 13, 2015Hey Bar on Buena, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
Sausage Platter rules faces. Ask for the extra sauces you typically get with the fries.
Chris TurleyDecember 18, 2010If you enjoy beer, bar owner Chris is a true connoisseur. Look for the guy with the heavy beard.
Clayton SmithAugust 6, 2010Beer + Bacon = A mind that will be blown. Ask the bartender for the beer/bacon combo!
Burgers on Monday rock and come with sweet potatoe fries. One of my favorite locals.
ask chris for his favorite beer on tap right now - you won't go wrong!
