Mitchell’s Tap

Stay clear of this bar unless you think it’s okay for women to be physically manhandled by «regular clientele» who are clearly at a 1^st grade maturity level.

Popped in with some friends after the White Sox game on Sunday afternoon. Was surprised to see just a handful of (probably) regulars at the bar. Menus are on the tables, but you have to place your food order at the bar. If you want drink refills, same thing — no table service.
Italian beef and fries are pretty good, but you can get good to great Italian beef and fries 100 different places in Chicago. I liked that it was laidback, and the staff seemed friendly enough.

The tap is like my second home! My favorite bar in the neighborhood! Love the patio, people and beer! Jimmy is the best!

You can smoke on the patio which makes it perfect for me.
Decent crowd
Good sound system for watching games
Food is okay

They built bathrooms outside in the yard. Bathrooms that lock. So now a guy can take a crap without someone walking in on his big ol’ swinging dick. The employees are great and the food rocks. Now that I can take an uninterrupted dump, I give you 5 stars and would recommend Mitchells to anyone looking for a place to go for a few drinks and/​or good food!

I came here to watch the wildcard game between the Steelers and the Ravens, and this place wasn’t what I was expecting. This is a tiny, neighborhood dive bar in Bridgeport, and it was hopping on Saturday night. Way busier than I expected. This is also the kind of bar you expect to hear grunge in, not pop music headlined by four Taylor Swift songs. The princes are on point, and the specials can be a great deal. My only gripe is that many of the TVs are small and hard to see, especially the ones high up. Not every table has a great view. So this is definitely a fun place to watch a game, but if you are very invested and want a high quality viewing experience, I would definitely look elsewhere.

Gray place to hang out with old friends and make new ones with the locals.
Clean bar and tables
Darts a few video game
Cute back porch
Friendly bartender and staff
Live singer… she was cute and performed well.

This bar has good days and bad days because it is REAL. I hate to sound like a cliché, but it is not OBSESSED with the latest mico brew dejour. I just order my Coors Light, without a sneer. I like it. Always attracks a couple jerks, but this is a REAL BAR. It isn’t phony or try to be some pseudo working class bar that you might find in other neighborhoods. Just a bar… but I like it… Also, you can walk out the door and literally step on the bus practically.

The best neighborhood bar to go to everyone is a local and everyone knows someone I love this place great bar, great bartenders. And the drinks are cheap and delicious every time good food menu. Jason makes the best Vegas bombs ever no other bar can come close. Ask him for one and thank me later!

Just scored this place yesterday before the Sox game. Real nice place to add as a craft beer destination in Bridgeport. I will review again at another time to be completely honest with a rating as opening day at the Cell surely affected the service level. I must admit that once served the staff was very accommodating.

A cool place for the locals. Affordable prices, decent food, and Bridgeporter’s that make for good comic relief, who have some interesting neighborhood stories to share. If you’re in the neighborhood for a game, this is a solid dive-​like option. The also have a jukebox, patio, darts and bags!

This isn’t a destination for people outside of Bridgeport, but it is a good option when you’re in the neighborhood. Most of the crowd drinks Miller Lite, but there is a very good selection of domestic craft beers in bottles. The specials are nice & cheap too.

Not a bad place. Good food, good drink specials, nice place to watch a game or throw some bags

MITCHELL’s TAP NOW HAS FOOD !! Bartenders are cool/​great. Food is yumm! Try the Tuscan pizza. Basil so fragrant I wanted to dab it behind my ears! Thursday night is now Live Music. Usually trios… can’t fit much else and not sure if patio is open or not but when it is, there is a port-​a-​potty outside lol
Yeah Mitchell’s!!!

I have been to Mitchell’s many times and will go back again, but only when I can sit outside. My experiences can be summed up in four statements:
Great beer
Lovely garden
No dogs in the garden
Angry vibe
(seriously, every time I have been in there I feel like a fight is about to break out…)

$ 7.50 for a pitcher of PBR. Really cant go wrong with that.
I went with my brother to redeem a groupon I had bought. The bartender comped us the difference of the groupon and our purchases (3 pitchers of ribbon), so that was cool. He got a nice tip as a thank you.
Digital jukebox, darts, and a punching bag game are the entertainment. Also, plenty of tvs (that were tuned to the hawks game and the late bulls game).
I suspect I’ll hit this place up come Sox season.

I haven’t reviewed mitchell’s? I’m surprised…
This is definitely a neighborhood Bridgeport bar… the natives can sniff out the yuppies from the north side…
Cheap Drinks… Jukebox and tables…
It’s a dive bar with personality and a decent beer selection.
It’s definitely a cheers of that neighborhood.

Be still, my heart.
Why, you ask?
+2.50 PBR drafts. Yes, drafts.
+For the beer fans — huge beer list
+Darts!
+Plenty of room to sit at the bar
+Lovely song selection jukebox
+NBA on one screen, NHL on the other
+Friendly bartenders
+Diverse crowd! Won’t see that on the Northside
+Can bring outside food in! Saw people order a pizza and bring in Chinese food.
+Staff was nice enough to provide plates and utensils!
+Parking galore
+Revelations reached (finally!)
It’s safe to say that I love this place. I can’t wait for my return visit!

Another gem of a place in the south side.
You do realize that Chicago is a «working class» town founded on steel and constructions… not the service and food industry!!!
If you do, then you’ll appreciate the bars that exist in the southside as original and authentic… now what do I mean by authentic? Well you can walk into many a bar in the north and not one… and I mean not one person will speak to you, but on the south side everyone is quick with a word or joke and makes anyone feel at ease and «one of the crowd.»
Mitchells is very much like this… the neighborhood is very safe (cop station just down a block or so) and the bar was recently renovated, so it is clean and well lit.
Add several TVs and bar darts and you have a little place to have some drinks and some fun. No food though, but they do have an extensive menu delivery list.
Beer is very reasonably priced and a good selection in addition to some specials though the week. The crowd really picks up the later you get into the night.
A gem in a sea of gems actually… whether you believe it or not.

Funny the «little gems» you come across when you put your mind to finding a new place to relax and have a drink.
While a bit unfamiliar with Bridgeport (no that’s an understatement– I had NEVER been here before) someone had suggested Mitchell’s to me as a great place to grab a beer and some friendly conversation. So on a snowy night– we headed south down Halsted to Mitchell’s.
The first thing I loved? Plenty of street parking right in front of the place.
We settled in at the bar and glanced around. Mitchell’s, while not huge, has room for at least 20 at the bar and tables scattered around which will seat at least 30 more. If just siting and drinking is not your thing– they have a variety of bar games including my favorite «bar darts». They also have a pretty good jukebox although how good it is depends on who is shoving the dollars into it on the night you are there (heavy metal anyone?)
The beer is cheap, the selection of beer fairly impressive, and the people friendly and chatty. On the first time we were there– the bartender won our hearts (could it have been the free shots?) and it is because of her that we have been back several times.
I also discovered «wooden nickels» at this place as they were used as markers for free drinks. And who doesn’t love a free drink?
Not fancy– which is just fine with me. I am so over those places that want to be like Mitchell’s and try so hard but never achieve it cuz its the people that make a place like this. And you can’t get that everywhere!
