Estelle's

Estelle is a local neighborhood dive bar. I ordered a BYO-Burger- this just means I created my own burger. It was amazing my only critique would be that it was a little bit over seasoned, but who cares anyway it's a dive bar lolThe drinks were amazing and kind of crafty if you ask me. The service was surprisingly good if you ask me.I do think that the music was a little too loud for me but I still did enjoy the place.

The short and sweet of it...we stopped in to get something to eat before heading to Subterranean for their 70s Disco night DJ set. We walked into the bar and were immediately hit with very loud music. There wasn't a lot of available space to sit so The Doctor, Queen and I went to a table top for four in the window. It was clear some people had been sitting there, but the table had not been cleared. The Doctor moved everything over to the table next to us and we sat down.A bartender eventually came over to remove the empty glasses from the table next to us and cleaned it. Looked over at us, said he would clean the table but it would leave the table wet, so he just walked off. We looked at each other and decided that we did not want to order anything. Fortunately we saw Cafe Robey, which was a lovely find and ate there.Just didn't feel the vibe there. Maybe the food is good, I don't know. But I am a big fan of talking and while I love music, I don't want it so loud that I to yell to have a conversation.

I don't want to gatekeep but this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE LATE NIGHT bar to frequent. Like it closes at like 4am and food is still served pretty late. It's not like a super masculine dive bar, it's for the girlies & movie buffs since they always have really interesting movies playing (like Perfect Blue or LOTR). Plus the bartenders are always so sweet and respectful and check in with you. The jalapeño poppers are my fave and the havarti burger always hits the spot after clubbing.

Have frequented Estelle's in trips to Wicker park but was completely out of the loop they served food late. For a late night bar the food had no business being this good but honestly no complaints from my end. They have a variety of sandwiches and other options depending on your mood. Everything is reasonably priced and they have daily specials. I love the variety of beers on tap and still think about the house cranberry holiday seltzer they would make. Wicker staple for sure, can never go wrong stopping in

Small bar, decent drinks, and finger bar bites. There wasn't a true kitchen, so don't come expecting a full on meal- it was more of a frying station behind the bar. Nothing bad to say- It was casual and easygoing, no frills. Garlic Parm Fries were addicting. Half off drinks during Happy Hour was a good deal.

They've got a great happy hour deal here, half off all drinks 4-6pm! Came here on a Monday night around 5:30 and plenty of seats were open. The gimlet with death's door gin was actually very interesting and strong, since the gin is flavored with juniper, coriander and fennel. It had a very "spicy" flavor reminiscent of chai. There are quite a few options for draft beer, and they also have daily specials which you can view on their website. This is right next to the Damen blue line stop, and very conveniently located to other restaurants and thrift stores on Milwaukee. I would definitely come back for their happy hour again!

Estelle's is a "neighborhood bar" that happens to be located just off the major Wicker Park intersection of Damen / North / Milwaukee. I've been there a couple of times to enjoy their Happy Hour, and amazingly all drinks are half-price between 4 - 6 PM every day. The selection of beers on draft is not too shabby.Their limited food menu also spotlights some daily specials. I've not had any of the food, but my bud enjoyed the Wednesday special - party pockets (basically pizza puffs) with fries.

Fun dive bar tonight off the blue line. Always a good mix of people and fun people watching .

What a waste... and a joke --- used to be my go to spot for ppl from out of town . Nope. Not anymore - zero customer service

If you're looking to spend $17 and over an hour waiting for you to watch the cook flip your burger around for 25 minutes, this is place.
