Stocks and Blondes

What a great find! This is so close to the metro and you can tell that this is a total commuter bar. Most people that were sitting around were very conscientious of making the next train! Very low key and chill place!

For long time Chicago people this place is great. Location is legendary, under the El at Washington and Wells. No music or tv blasting, just people happy to be out of the office. A ton of beers on tap or bottle. I always try something I've never had before. Servers are usually friendly and efficient, even during the after work rush. It's actually gotten better over time, more selection, better service.It's great to have an after work spot like this. Glad to see they are still going strong despite the smaller crowds in the Loop after COVID. Plenty of other places in Chicago offer views and fancier prices, but I'm really glad there's a dive like this still thriving. Everyone there seems happy to be there and it makes me happy too.

Tiny pub room with lots of tap to offer. In today's visit at 5-ish, the place was buzzing with white collar folks taking in the happy hour. Kitchen was closed, open 11am-3pm only.

Regular bar experience, nothing special here. I should be rating it lower because I ended up leaving after 15 minutes around lunch, staff was busy. I get it. Keep your expectations low and you might probably enjoy this for a quick drink if you enjoy the dive bar experience

This place is crowded and it's not exactly easy to order food (beers are listed in small text on monitors all around), but this is an affordable place to grab a drink or watch a game in the loop. When it's full, it gets quite loud which is good if you want the energy of the crowd while watching your favorite team -- but on the other hand it can be quite challenging to carry on a conversation. Service is alright, not the quickest, but reasonably fast in getting orders. Prices are fair, especially if you're ordering daily specials. For food, I tried the steak quesadilla which was very large and filled with meat for $11. The flavor wasn't the greatest, but the value was good for a bar in the loop.Overall, not a bad place to go after work for a drink or to watch a game, but this is no better than a standard dive bar.

When I worked nearby, I would go here for a drink on Fridays. It fills up FAST during lunchtime during the weekdays so if you plan to get lunch get here early to grab a seat or get take out. They usually have some good beers on draft. It's not your basic selection of miller lite or budweiser. They also switch out what's on draft pretty frequently. It's great for people who want to try new things. I tried the 21st Amendment Hell Or High Watermelon and fell in love. I could really taste the watermelon. Since then I have bought the canned version of this, but it's best on draft. I have also tried various ciders that were good.They also have a $4 draft special every day of the week and a food special which is super nice. It's best to check their website.I think that their fried food fries a little too long, but the burgers and sandwiches are good. This place is also more of a bar to chill after work at so the food isn't the best, but I love the deals. It's got a neighborhood bar kind of feel tucked into The Loop.

Really cool bar and nice, relaxing vibe, but they were doing last call at 7pm with like twenty or so people still inside. Kinda confusing but oh well, maybe they close early on Mondays. It seems like it'd be a great place to watch a game of some sort.

Awesome pizza puffs and Kelly is a great Server. Yummy Happy Hour!Beer is cold and they have a great beer list

Coworker recommended their wings, so I decided to give it a try especially they seem to give you a $5 off bill after you check-in on Yelp. I ordered the Spicy Pineapple flavor as I thought it's gonna be sweet, sour, and spicy. The wings are good - big with crispy skins and aren't dry. A little downside would be the sauce... It will be perfect if the pineapple taste can be stronger. I can smell the pineapple when I open the to-go box, and can see small chunks of pineapples, but can't really taste any. Also, the $5 off deal only applies to dine-in customers; such exclusion isn't listed :( and they charge 50 cents for to-go orders.

Went for lunch here before a matinee Broadway show. My husband said it was a dive bar and it certainly is. They could at least duct tape the splitting vinyl on the stools. The waitress's nails were too long to be serving food. My sandwich was burnt but it took so long to get I wasn't going to ask for a replacement - we had a show to get to. I tore off the burnt bottom and ate my beef sandwich with just the top of the bun. Waitress saw it and didn't say a word. Drink specials seemed good. If I ever go back, and at this time I certainly don't plan to, it will be for drinks only.
