Laney BJuly 17, 2011Awesome spot. Loved the beer selection. Personal fav is the draft Negra Modelo. Food is great too: cheese curds come with buffalo ranch dressing (yum) & the buffalo chicken quesadillas are great.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Heather FolsomJuly 13, 2016The menu listed on foursquare is NOT accurate-it belonged to Marbles, the previous bar/rest. That said, B.I. has excellent cocktails, cute patio, great chicken sand & salty nuts, & BEST fries ever!
My absolute fav bar in the city. Awesome food, beer list, service, inexpensive, great atmosphere & a very nice patio in back. Lindsey is by far the best server :-)
A delightful dive bar with $3 pints of Coors heavy, $3 shots of bitters (woof), one other rotating draft, and an extensive bottle list.
Cocktails are unique and all excellent. The burger is a must, either a single OR A double patty.
Two brothers raising the bar oh hospitality and quality cocktails, while keeping the neighborhood feel. Everyone's favorite bar!
Dominique CruzJuly 30, 2013The blonde boy who checks ID's has been rude repeatedly. This is my neighborhood bar and, I enjoy the outdoor patio as well as the frozen then fried pickles but can do without the attitude.
Emily BoltonAugust 25, 2017This place is great. It has all the charm of a dive bar except they have great drinks and a mildly polished look.
ShariOctober 11, 2013Skip the fish and pickles, definitely were frozen. The pico chicken salad was really good, and they had pumpkin cider :)
- Great neighborhood watering hole. Good cheap bar food. Nightly specials and huge patio.
This bar is just great all around. Low Prices, great food, craft beer selection, ambiance, it has it all!
Best specials in the whole city of Chicago. Plus they have golden monkey beer for $5.50!!!!
I love me some of them fried pickle slices! Be sure you get that sauce with 'em. Good F'ing stuff!
The Spicy Pico Lime Chicken Salad is amazing! Should definitely check it out!
Shannon JeropkeJune 6, 2017Bar of the Year presented by Hendrick's Gin at the 2017 Time Out Chicago Bar Awards.- Get in that beer garden if you can. Sweet set up and quite spacious.
Chimene McElwainSeptember 26, 2010Marble is super inexpensive, makes a mean burger, and has a great beer list. Ask for Jill...she's awesome!
- Good beer list and & $0.50 tacos on Monday and veggie sloppy joes on Tuesday.
Beer list is good. Food is cheap and tasty. Love the patio. Sit in the front of it if you don't like smoke. Sit in the back if you're a smoker. Addicted to this little gem of a bar. You will be too.
Becky HolmesJune 15, 2013Cunty blonde waitress!!! Didnt tell us cc machine was down til we had $100 tab!! AVOID.

"Great craft beer selection with a cute patio tucked away toward the back of the building. This place is a hidden gem!"

"Classy décor with a british hunting cabin feel to it. Tasty drinks with flavours more to the strong and peppery side. Awesome back pateo that sadly closes quite early. Bring cash!"
Victor Segell - 7.2
"This place is great!! Had 312 bottles for 2.50 when I went! Love the cheap drinks, plus its open until 4am!"

"The chicken liver mousse is a meal. A deliciously decadent meal."
Frank Payne - 9.1
"Hush puppies are amazing. Fried fish is better than the fried chicken."

"Raincoat was deliciously refreshing compared to the relatively tasteless, yet highly recommended, Sloe gin fizz. Definitely worth the extra $4."
