I know this no frills pub has been around a long time. I also am aware that the band Diamondback has been playing there every week for years. Put on your cowboy boots and head on over for a cold one. Street parking only is available, you should be able to find a space within a block or two.

We decided to come here after hearing about the bar's country/western bent, because wehad some new material of that sort we wanted to try. Sure enough, the crowd was older and scragglier, but the house band was nice enough. It seemed friendly to the tried & true patrons -- they were steaming up hot dogs the night of the Super Bowl. I'd catch it for one of their country open mic nights (or any other open mic), but just to go there to grab a beer, you might feel a little out of the loop.

This place is about as authentic redneck country as you can get in Chicago. The people here in cowboy boots and hats aren't dressing that way to be kitschy. Besides the theme, it's just a regular hole in the wall bar with a pool table in the back, but if you go, it's definitely for the country. They have country bands playing live several times a week and of course people rarely choose non-country songs on karaoke night. The service is good, as they pride themselves on real down home hospitality. This means that even if they aren't serving food, they might just heat up some wings for ya in the microwave so you won't starve.
