My Place

The hot pot is very bad! Very little salty and spicy! But the worst is their service is very very badly! The waitress at even asked them to give her more tips!!! We cannot believe it! Jesus! I will tell all of my friends never go to this restaurant.

My Place was the best and friendliest bar that I visited while I was visiting Chicago. It’s a dive bar but has the nicest people you could ever meet. Patrons and bartenders have never made me feel more welcome in an establishment that was completely foreign! This bar is like a family :) When I head back to Chicago this place is going to be a priority to visit! LOVED IT! Thanks My Place. See you soon :)

We read the reviews. I called the bar to see if the woman or a man answered. No answer. Ok. It isn’t far from the apartment, lets walk over. Ok.
Got there, it was stinky. We were not impressed with the service or the atmosphere. Didn’t use the bathroom. Left after one beer. It was not fun.

This place is great if the older gentleman is working.
He’s polite and friendly, and the drink prices aren’t bad.
If the female is working the bar, she’s rude nasty and has a mouth on her for no reason at all.
Even when your not talking to her she just opens her mouth and joins in on your convo. So rude!
It’s a small bar and a pool table in the back. For single ladies, I wouldn’t walk into the back room by myself. It’s on a bad neighborhood and the back room doesn’t look safe.
On any given day there’s either great customers in there or rude people.
The music box is really out dated and the bathroom is like standing in a box. It’s also not the cleanest bar.

Great prices, friendly atmosphere Great service. Good local neighborhood bar in the Rogers Park neighborhood.

Heavy pours from someone not really paying attention. The cheapest pint of Old Style and an old styled jukebox with the golden oldies. Jukebox is free, however patrons are limited to a number of plays and regardless of their choices the most recent track available always gets chosen. A random from Madonna.
It’s a dumpy dive where the door is always open. The place smells of old smoke, sweat, tears and basement. Basement, like after a big rain and the basement got flooded. The décor is the most random shit from someone’s home. Probably gifts collected from over the years, from a private collection. When having drinks, instead of gazing at the boob tube, make a list of all the random details you find.
I can agree with another reviewer that mentions it can be kind of scary. They seem to pick up folks from the transient crowd. Their washroom looks like the kind of place a man would lose his virginity if ever finding himself locked in prison. So make sure you bolt that lock, pilgrim.

I love My Place! Uncle Johnny is a sweetheart, the drinks are always strong and cheap and the décor is a riot. This place makes me smile!

Not to quote that hick bastard, Toby Keith, but I LOVE THIS BAR! I’m a big fan of dive bars. The dumper they look, the trashier the people, the more stinky the place, I’m IN! This bar is fantastic. Everyone who drinks there is nice. I love that there are no tables. You’re forced to sit at the bar, which I love. «Uncle Johnny» the bartender is in his 80’s, maybe older. He’s a nice guy. My bud lights were $ 2.75. Where else in gay hell are you gonna find beer that cheap in the city?!? I like the fact that they have no intentions of remodelling. This is the kind of bar I could see myself drinking at when I’m 75, and when I was just 21. I’m 2 months shy of 34, and this is the best fuckin bar I’ve ever been to. Bottoms up! See you there.

This place is kinda dumpy and the back room and it’s peopkle are kinda scary. The bartender the night I went was like a hundred years old and had great difficulty getting around. The bathrooms were very dirty and the place looks like it hasn’t been remodeled since the sixties. There is a surprising amount of different bottles of beer available and they do have a few pool tables in the back instead of the standard one. The beer on tap is not that cheap for a dumpy bar which this place is

I could swear I posted a review about this place AND I’m the one who uploaded those pictures to prove I’m not lying about it.
This is a small place and is easy to miss if you’re not looking. It has been there since 1930’s or something. Bar has cheap beers and almost all drinks are under $ 5. Most are around $ 3.50.
Have a huge back room with a pool table. Jukebox is old but has OK music. Try to support this joint if you can.
