"Archie’s Cafe is less like a restaurant and more like hanging out at a friend's house where your meal is determined by whatever is in the fridge. Certain nights are devoted to either pizza or pasta, while on the weekends it functions as an all-day cafe where you'll find yourself drinking coffee while eating eggs and bacon, or grabbing a beer with tacos. Regulars constantly fill up the seats, creating a feeling of community with a motley crew of Loyola students and residents who have lived in the neighborhood for decades. Archie's also showcases local talent, so there's always rotating artwork from Chicago artists as well as musical performances until their “midnightish” closing time." - john ringor, veda kilaru
