So here’s the thing. I LOVE The Lodge— it’s a classic Chicago spot that I have always enjoyed going to (ESPECIALLY when Haley is working, she’s a star ⭐️ and a fabulous bartender). HOWEVER, the last time I was there I was one and DONE….I couldn’t stay there any longer due to this horrifically loud and persistent high pitched ringing sound. I don’t know where it was coming from but it completely ruined the experience for me I simply couldn’t last more than one drink. Pretty please fix this ringing sound because I’d really like to keep coming back 🙁

Historic place that's in the heart of Division/Rush Streets that's been here a very long time. Service is great, selection is very good. Just know only accepts credit cards, not cash. But that's fine

this place is EXACTLY what we needed. we ate peanuts and threw the shells on the floor. a dog came in and was the star of the show. this is your bar. this is my bar. this is our bar. this is the bar you go to if you want to laugh and hug strangers. this is the bar where if you're in here you're friends. this is what a bar is supposed to be. this is a real bar.

Nice bar with a great interior. They have outdoor seating as well which is heated. Located right in Gold Coast on Division St. It’s surrounded by other great bars and all of them serve good liquor and food. It’s currently in the Irish them because of St. Patricks day. Enjoy Irish beers and Hard Liquor which watching your favorite sport. Vibe over here is really good.
