    No bitchy attitudes. No desperate need to impress based on the superficial. Nice, solid cross-section of people from across The Rog and the city who are fun and silly and just nice to be around.

    Friendly bartenders, nice spacious place, lots of table, and very reasonable prices. Good music volume, too.

    They make a mean martini, you can hear your date and if you walk in without your hair done, no one will throw any shade your way. Read more

    This place looks like your typical yuppie sports bar, but the vastly male clientele, plum and ochre walls and Kylie Minogue soundtrack reveal it to be Rogers Parks straightest-acting gay bar. Read more

    Great laid back neighborhood bar with a fun jukebox. If you use the bathroom by the bar be careful of the very hot water. You've been warned!

    If u want a refreshing pint stop by The Glenwood. Non pretentious and down to earth bartenders make this neighborhood pub awesome.
