Kasey's Tavern

Each week, in a display of misguided optimism, I return to Kasey's Tavern, a place where the bartenders have perfected the art of rudeness. They don't just ignore you; they actively make you feel like you're ruining their day by merely existing. Their goal seems to be to get you out the door as quickly as possible.And then there are the beers--warm, unappealing, and a testament to their indifference. Complaining about the temperature is futile; you're met with a cold shoulder that contrasts sharply with the tepid drink in your hand. In short, Kasey's Tavern excels at one thing: reminding me that there are far better places to spend my time and money.

We stopped into Kasey's for a Friday afternoon beer. They had lots of different sports on TV. I enjoyed watching some track and gymnastics. We got an amber ale and a German wheat beer. Both were solid! The service was a little slow, but no big deal. We had a good time hanging out here.

It's a neighborhood spot that we had frequented multiple times. You won't be rushed, but you'll have to be persistent if you want a drink at the patio. There's signs to order from your table but it depends on the staff that day. We tried multiple times to flag a bartender to order a drink. Even after they acknowledge you and confirm they'll be back for your order, you'll have to just be persistent and go to the bar. When you go to the bar, they're too busy to acknowledge you or take an order. You can stand there for a while while they chat up customers or their co-workers.

After dinner, we came to this Tavern to have a couple drinks. It's a cute place with many TV's and big front windows. The service was great, our waitress was super friendly and was able to answer any questions and make suggestions on drinks. If you're looking for a place to mingle with friends and drink affordable drinks, this is your place. :)

Found this bar with a good atmosphere and prices, where getting both is rare around here. It's in Printer's Row close to a few hip and more expensive places. Kasey's Tavern only has drinks, but they have tons of these. Get something for almost any preference, hard or light. There's lots of local beers, many versions from famous and less famous liquor brands, and wines. A good place if looking for just a drink. I've been here a few times and have gotten quite a few things that other places have but sell them a lot more expensive. This is certainly one of the cheapest bars around here. Especially for its location that's quite an achievement. It's about $6 for the cheapest liquors. Most others are only a buck or so more expensive than that. Find something for almost anyone. Lots of local beers on tap. They even have lots of wines. Be divey or fancy. There's also lots of TVs so it's a good place to watch shows and games. Better when it's not as crowded. It's one of the few bars around this area that are open very late. They have pretty much just drinks and not really any food except maybe having some frozen pizzas.

Great spot to grab some cold drinks either before or after dinner. The staff were friendly and the location was clean and orderly. The street-side patio was nice and super enjoyable on a nice day. Will visit again next time I am in town.

Great little wooden bar and tavern! Fun place! Very busy. Sit outside if u wish. Nice park. Has a multitude of types of beer, including craft beer. Definitely a beer lovers place! The wines have less of a large selection, but good. They also have a full bar. As far as I could tell, besides, the bar snacks, which are popcorn. The only other food I saw on the menu was pizza. Two kinds, veggie pizza and meat lovers pizza. I had the veggie pizza, and it was good, more than one person can eat though.

If you live in the South Loop you're probably no stranger to this staple and all around great go to spot for a drink with friends. The variety of beers on tap is always great and the no frills energy is appreciated when surrounded by so many new bougie places in the area. They have a very expansive patio weather permitting and a good amount of seating inside as well. I try to stop by here whenever I'm in the area.

I'm a huge history buff and nostalgia fan. Kasey's was on my radar long before I arrived. I couldn't wait to visit and was so happy I did. Probably the oldest bar I've ever visited. My creative imagination could just see the patrons of long ago chugging pints and shots of whiskey. It was quiet and quaint. Can't stand a bar where the music is so loud that you can't hear yourself speak. This place was perfect for conversation with another. Definitely add this to your list when in town. A piece of history not far from Michigan ave.

Awesome place! Had a great time, waiters and people very friendly. Drink variety is large, the ambience is very relaxed.
