The Drum And Monkey - Chicago

What can I say about this place, it is a local bar, the drinks are extremely cheap and the staff friendly. While it can get a large amount of college graduate students and some locals, it doesn't necessarily get too busy and is a good spot to catch the game. They also have a kitchen which makes damn good fries and other fare which are also cheap and good. I have made it a tradition to come back every Friday with the squad and will continue to do so. I absolutely recommend this as a watering hole for anyone in the area

Good food... sliders and fish and chips. Nice Irish elements in the decor. A tad understaffed on a weeknight so service wasn't as quick as usual.. but the fresh hot churros we had for dessert were good enough to overlook that.

This was my go to bar back in college (circa 2008-10l. I'm glad to say it's still as good as ever. (I was sad to see the that the shuffleboard is gone, tho). Terrific neighborhood bar with all the basic nwcessities. Great neighborhood. Excellent beer selection. Friendly owner and staff. No frills. Just chill!

I frequent this place very often. The staff is awesome! Marino is a great bartender, and I just recently went in and was helped by Morgan and she was also great! The music selection is good (matches my own preferences).

The bartender was super nice, his drinks were very bad though, I asked for a tequila sour and it was extremely sweet for a sour drink. I think he put margarita mix in to make the drink sour but it was just like sugar. But I do think he was just starting because later on I saw someone maybe teaching him how to pour drinks. Other than that everyone there even the customers were very friendly. It's a very fun crowd.
