Hope you know the bartender. If you don't he'll spend a lot of time talking to everyone else while ignoring you.If you're in the service area he'll brush...

It was very nice bear bar with good looking barman and good drinks, free champagne during New Year’s Eve and a lot of love. Very clean place. Good music. I would love to come back there.

My first time in this place was a Saturday night with my friends. I like those mule's drinks, very unique. I had the Kentucky mule all night. The ambiance and decor are very cozy. The crowd was more mature guys in the 40s and 50s, which means you can have a great time and never worried about lousy music and drunk people doing weird stuff. I really enjoyed my time over there.

You cannot get a better bargain anywhere else in Chicago. My drink here costs $5 and when I go to other places in the city it's $12 minimum. Great...

Chicago Bear HQ. Nice bar to meet with friends. Friendly servers. Free Vienna Beefs on Sundays. Back patio. Drink specials. Theme party nights. Five big TVs all showing the same game. Wish they'd mix it up a little. Bring your proof of vaxx and a mask, at least for now. Ain't nothin dirty goin on.

It's kind of an eclectic bar. It's got a range of age and everybody was very friendly. They play a lot of older dance music but there is no dance floor. It gets very crowded. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because there are only two bathrooms with one toilet in each which is woefully inadequate.

Great bartenders! The drinks are good and they have a great selection on beer. Ask about the specials. There is always something to be had. Also very dog friendly.

I don't expect the service to be awesome all the time. If the drinks are good the service can be fare....I'm ok with that. What i didn't like is that we payed to play songs on the jukebox and the staff turned off the connection to the Jukebox and didn't let us finish listening to our songs. Not cool!!! They did this because we weren't playing Cher and ABBA. So yeah...won't go back.

It's a nice neighborhood bar. Great service. If you don't like crowds stay away from Bear Fridays or DILF night.

I love the bartenders here - Jeremy, Jessica, and Mike are my favorites - and the drink specials are really unbeatable. I usually stop in here for karaoke...

SoFo is REALLY LOUD. It's difficult to even hear your friends that are right next to you. You have to scream and that makes me uncomfortable. Secondly, they really don't have a cocktail menu. I love a nice mixed drink, to try something new. However all they say is "What kind of drink?" "We have anything". I'm no mixologist so I don't know how to make my own concoction.The only thing they have really is beers on menu. I guess that's how they make a cheap buck. I'm not a beer person and I'll never enjoy one. Me and my friends left swiftly.

This is a great neighborhood bar, gay or straight. Prices are pretty reasonable and the bartenders are nice. Great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon...

Unbelievable good service. Friday night Thomas was awesome made us feel so welcome and like we were part of the SOFO family. We went back Saturday afternoon for dog day (because we have a dog rescue in Wisconsin)and Paul was outstanding. We now have a new bar to call home. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for making people from out of the area feel so welcome!! And Jeremy on Sunday made it an awesome weekend

One of my favorite bars in the city. All the bartenders are always great to me, the atmosphere is easy to jump in and meet new people, and is nice and low key on weeknights while keeping high energy on weekends. Such a great space for queer people.
