Zachary’s

If you are a fan of carpet (lesbians, don’t get too excited) then this is the one.
Don’t believe the one star review below from Bill C.
Cosby is just bitter as Zachary’s (along with any respectful establishment) would not allow him in for being a shamed paedo.

Nice neighborhood bar, Visited on a Sunday night and it was a nice quiet place. Able to sit down, have a drink, talk with a few friends and toss a couple games of darts. Drinks and beer average prices. Seemed to be plenty of parking on Milwaukee Ave.

I’ve never had a bad time here. It can get pretty crowded some nights, but people are always friendly and the drinks are decent. Small place, but gets the job done.

A nice looking dive bar. came here to watch some football. It is small and quiet and prices are decent. There are alot of other bars in the neighborhood and none of them really stand out. I would say this is a place where older neighborhoods get drunk and smoke their cigaretts outside with the old, bad color ballpark seating.

Affectionately called the carpet bar. Go there and you will see why. Tiny, tiny little bar off of Milwaukee that is hilarious. When we showed up at 1 or so totally dead. By closing time, totally packed. To tell the truth, I can’t even remember how much the drinks were. Probably not too bad though. The reason we came here that night– they are open until 5! Then, if you want breakfast Blue Angel is just a short walk down the street.

Zachary’s is a dive seemingly in the middle of nowhere. We approached this place for some karaōke and it was the only place in the immediate area with a light on. Inside is big enough just for the bar, a dart machine, the karaōke area, and a couple tiny single bathrooms. It’s pretty dark inside but there really isn’t a whole lot to see. Full carpeting seemed just a bit strange…
Prices are pretty standard for a bar. Heard the mixed drinks were a bit weak (obviously didn’t have any b/​c I didn’t want to spend $ there). Snacking on a small cup of peanuts is a nice little thing to have. Karaōke was pretty fun. Despite being fairly empty, the wait for your next song was a bit unsettling. People were really nice and friendly though. For me, Zachary’s was ok for one night… not the best place for a bunch of 20 something year olds though.

Why has no one mentioned the live radio broadcasts on Fridays at 7pm!!! The Dave & Chris Show sets up in the back and goes live, takes calls, gets drunk, and puts drunks on the air. They argue politics and tell dirty jokes, cuss like sailors, and are entertaining as all hell. Check it out:

I had Basil Hayden last time I was there and the owner was hanging out at the bar. Truly a Chicago local gem.
Also, they have high speed wifi.

This is a 4 o’clock bar that doesn’t hop until after midnight! The bartender Debbie is interesting and cool! If your out late and been drinkin for a while and don’t want to quit– this is your place! The plae has karaōke on some nights and after midnight is hoping most days of the week. so all you second shifters & late nighters this place is for you.

This place is the worst! Avoid it at all costs!

It’s kind of a dive bar, but Friday nights is Karaōke with Jonny Fah and it’s a great time!
Be prepared, some of the bar stools are a bit wobbly! There always seems to be some kind of munchies in the bar, but they don’t serve food. The prices are definitely affordable.
It’s well worth the trip out on a Friday night to enjoy the interesting collection of aspiring singers doing their karaōke… and the host, Jonny Fah is a blast!
