Drove by this place many times before I finally decided to stop in. Now it's my favorite place to go for a quick afternoon drink. Dogs are allowed as long as they're behaved. But it's always fun to be greeted at the door by a pup. My little guy Franklin is pictured. I usually stop by in the afternoon because they play Jeopardy with the sound on and the whole place plays along. The day bartenders, either Tom or Dimitri depending on the day, are both great and friendly bartenders. If you stop in a few times they start to remember your usual drinks and they have it ready for you by the time you sit down. I almost didn't want to post about this place because I don't want it to get too crowded. Haha. But it's too good not to. Has a pool table, darts (metal tip), and Golden Tee. If only they had Big Buck Hunter it would be perfect.

I went to this bar for the first time for a friend's boyfriend's birthday party recently. We went to the room with the pool table in it and noticed several prominently displayed photos of patrons dressed in blackface over the years. I left very quickly after that and I won't be returning.

Went to use bathroom and looks like someone puked a while ago and they never cleaned it up. Also they have pictures of their friends in blackface on the wall sooo….not my fave, wont be returning

A local, no frills, dog friendly watering hole. Tip generously. It was likely here before you were born and will be here long after you pass. Sláinte!

If you're looking for a fancy trendy bar this is not it and they don't try to be. This is the local dive bar with a pool table and mostly neighborhood locals. They are also dog friendly so if you have dog allergies you might want to avoid. Down to earth people, no pretenders here. Don't get me wrong I like trendy bars too but sometimes you just feel like a local hole in the wall.

It’s a great neighborhood bar, it’s low key, they have games like pool and darts as well as karaoke on Mondays. It’s a party on game days. Love stopping by after work and my off days. The bartender Sam is really good he always takes care of us and he’s great at knowing when we are ready for the next one! Lastly, the owners are very nice people they stop by every now and then to come say hello. It’s definitely more of an older crowd but it has a great vibe.

Other bars in town were standing room only for a game - the four treys not only had seating, but selflessly offered us food and conversation and made us feel right at home! Easily the best and most heartwarming service I've recieved in a long time, from anywhere!

Sometimes dogs are at the door to greet you. Alex is attentive and cool (Wed &Thurs) and everything is NOT overpriced 👀 other Roscoe Village places nearby. Meet neighborhood people, play some pool, play some tunes and watch some sports like a corner bar should be.

Over 100 years old, and it doesn't appear to have been updated much since then, but honestly that's what makes this place authentic and the perfect classic Chicago Dive Bar. In the modern world of $20 cocktails, craft double imperial IPA's with names like "a pidgeon's nightmare", sometimes all you want is an affordable ice cold miller light, play some pool, and watch some College football on a massive TV. The clientele clearly come to this traditional watering hole to make new friends, strike up fun conversations, and maybe throw back a few whiskey neats along the way. Don't expect an "instagramable" neon sign to take a picture in front of, but you'll find a no-nonsense bartender who will get you a cold one and listen to your life story. Don't get me wrong, I love the vibrant stretch of new American dining in Roscoe village right next door, but sometimes simplicity is all you need.

Claims to be the oldest bar in Roscoe Village, so you have to take their word for it. If it actually isn't the oldest, it still looks like it though. Four Treys is a good old dive. Has a pool table and everything. The drinks are the main thing, and it's a good place to get away from crowds and not care about looking cool and stuff. A total neighborhood bar. It probably has the same group of regulars here almost daily. They won't turn you away just because you aren't from around here though. Always happy to take your money in return for a drink. It's about $6 for the cheapest stuff. Basically it's just a place to drink. There's some snacks like chips or pretzels. For sure it's not the cleanest but it's not a dump. It had simple entertainment like a pool table and some TVs that have been around for who knows. This is a popular place for darts and there's lots of tournaments.

What a great neighborhood bar. The bartenders are really nice, especially The Sunday, Monday and Friday day shift bartender. The owner is also great. Definitely a perfect bar to grab drinks and have laughs.

We won't be returning here; this place is in desperate need of a remodel. It's the kind of spot that makes you look twice before sitting down. Our drinks were also incredibly weak, and not worth drinking since they were 99% soda.

Stopped in for a nightcap with my boyfriend over the weekend and was shocked to see the bartender not wearing a mask. When I asked about last call timing, she droned on about the new operating hours being "ridiculous," and that "masks don't work." My obvious response was to immediately ask her to close out the tab, to which she rolled her eyes and said, "I can wear the mask if you want" sarcastically. I've always thought it was a pretty cool spot until this weekend. As a Phish fan, I was into the support this bar gave the band. Needless to say, there are plenty of establishments in the neighborhood to support - I don't think it's smart to give money to somewhere that doesn't have the public's best interest in mind. It has also been brought to my attention that Four Treys Tavern has images of people dressed in blackface on the walls. Cringe.

This place isn't for everyone. Ultimate dive bar! Absolutely no-frills, friendly bartenders (Shoutout to Tina!), free pool, darts, open mic night Monday, and occasionally a surprise treat from the Tamale Man!

Great dive bar! You won't feel like you're in Chicago, you'll feel more like you're at a lake town where the locals hangout. The owner told me nobody cares about Yelp reviews for this place and, you know what, she's probably right. If you're looking for no-frills ambiance and friendly strangers, this spot is a safe bet!

This place is weird. It's not everybody's cup of tea. It's a little stinky, a little icky, a little controversial. But if you're looking for the ultimate neighborhood dive bar that will allow your dogs to hang out while you can play DJ via the TouchTunes app, this is your jam.

This is a neighborhood bar for my friends and I to walk to and play pool. We always order several drinks between us and enjoy that dogs are welcome. However, the older bartender with the beard can be so mean every time we come. We're always very friendly and really have a good time here without being too loud. We're not sure why but we are always meant to feel unwelcome when we order drinks (bartender acting like we don't exist for a few minutes and it's a small bar). This last time we came in to play and it was the only time we didn't order more than a drink and he asked us not to come back if we were just going to order water and a drink to play free pool. He also turned our TV off where the pool table was after we ordered. It was just extremely unwelcoming and he's always here. Try being a little more friendly, you just lost local business for no reason.

I was invited by a friend to a free comedy showcase that occurs every Thursday night. So I was not familiar with this place at all. However, when I rolled up in my uber. I knew this couldn't be it. I thought this place is a complete dive bar! But I ended up staying until 2 am and meeting the strangest and most intriguing people from what I heard patrons call, "The Village". I've heard about these mysterious neighborhood bars where everyone knows your name and you just walk out your door and bam cheap drinks and mediocre food, but thought it was just a fairy tale. Like, if you step on a crack you break your mother's back. we've all stepped on hundreds of cracks and moms are walking just fine these days. So why would this tale be any different. Boy was I wrong, I had an amazing time! I heard great comedy that you would otherwise have to pay at least $10-$12 bucks for, I pet a dog without leaving my bar stool, and discussed the world according to Bill Cosby in a post-Qualoid era. I left with a great big smile on my face and now I get why people would spend big money to live near a great neighborhood bar. The host of the comedy show is a neighborhood guy and it looked like about 80% of the audience are his friends! Which is impressive to get all your peeps to show up at the same time. It's a tiny space in the back which gives it that gritty NY comedy room feeling that makes you feel special you got a seat. There was about 6+ comics in total and most of them were slap-a-knee, side stitch funny. One guy was featured in one or more of the Barbershop movies and was super funny, but there was one scary guy that seemed like he ruffie's women in his spare time that I don't think he even realized he was there to tell jokes on a comedy stage nor maybe realized he was on a stage at all! For free-99 it was a decent balance of talent and pure entertainment. I feel like this showcase will shortly grow out of this room, so take advantage of it's super uber, exclusive Yipster (Yuppy+Hipster) status now while it lasts. I had such a great time I stayed afterwards for the great conversation. I met a local Roscoe Villager, a teacher that let's say was really enjoying his summer break. He showed us his chronological photo montage of him shaving his full beard off while styling it into various mustache styles in the process. From the longhorn to the handlebars - it was a sight to see and just pure comedy. He was so nice, he just rolled up on us and started a conversation. A random man did come through with a stack of pizzas that he apparently sells by the pies. The teacher said, it's kind of his thing that he does every Thursday night. We purchased one, because when in Rome! Also he seemed to pop up right on time Cause we scarfed it down. We bought 2 drinks - a vodka and soda and an old fashion which cost about $15, but seemed to give us the right amount of buzz too. And the bartender seemed to blend in with the patrons so it was hard to pin him down. But someone saw my thirst and flagged him down for us. It's super laid back, so I didn't mind. Lastly, the dogs, oh the dogs! Yes, I said it earlier, I pet a dog. They roam leash free like they're in a West Loop dog park. It just added to the charm and craziness of this place. I love dogs, so it made for an even funnier evening. Finally, we ended the night talking with some of the comics. The vibe was so friendly I really assumed everyone knew each other and ended up introducing lots of Villagers to each other. Which made me smile. I'll definitely be back. So if you're up for a random unexpectedly crazy night, then roll through this joint. Oh yeah, I also heard Friday nights are great too!

The bartender woman was so angry and mean, don't go there. The bar was great especially when the male bartender was on duty. Super chill and amazing. But a guy we were with had to go to the washroom but the guys bathroom had no stalls. We advised him to use women's washroom with a person standing outside. This way no weirdness would happen and everyone was safe. But the bartender tried to go in to "catch him" and we politely said, sorry someone is in there. She went on a rant that he should not be in the women's bathroom. It was weird and crazy. Don't go there if that women is a bartender. She is not ok. It was so weird. Lots of other bars with a vibe not that intense. People have to poop and it's ok.

The bouncer kicked my boyfriend out for hitting a girl in the head, but it was another guy (that is my guess, since we were together the whole time and he 100% did not hit anyone by accident or purpose). The bouncer took the girls word for it instead of him seeing it himself. We had already put $20 in kareoke songs we never got to sing because of this. The principal is wrong as it was a false accusation- and that's what I did not appreciate. Basically, we were robbed of a good time due to incompetence/negligence in terms of the bouncers job... positives was that the bartender was quick and friendly. The place has a homey feeling. I will not be back though due to this issue because it was not justified, and the accusation was incorrect. I completely agree with kicking someone out for hitting a girl (100%!!), but they got the wrong guy!

My wife and I have walked by this place dozens of times and we finally stopped in with some friends for Saturday karaoke a couple weeks ago. It's definitely a dive bar and you probably just want to get a beer, but it's a nice atmosphere. The staff and crowd was friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable. It was a nice place in the neighborhood to hang out for a night. Plus, they're dog friendly and the tamale guy came through!

Four Treys was just the speed I was looking for on a Sunday afternoon. We had finished up brunch at nearby Black Rock and were looking to continue the drinking in a casual atmosphere. After turning down another bar down the street that was a little too in-your-face for us, we spotted Four Treys and stopped in. It's not much to look at, but you'll be greeted by the bartender and can find a decent selection of your typical bar beers. Be prepared for cash only; however, an ATM is conveniently located within the bar. Dog friendly! It didn't do me much good because we'd previously been somewhere that I couldn't bring the pooch and the weather was not nice enough to leave her in the car, but it's nice to know that if someone suggests meeting here and I'm worried about time that I can bring the pup.

Pretty bummed about how down hill it has gone. My friend Linny used to bartend here and it was a great little dive. Had a grand opening party for a gym (local business owner in the neighborhood)and took everyone here afterwards. Tell everyone how great, divey and friendly it is only to almost get into a fight with the bartender last night because he insults my wife and sister. The guy put ice in my wife's drink (beer cocktail) when she turned around to talk to friends. She politely asked for a new one and he got visibly upset and said some pretty rude comments. I mean it's a drink you fool and she didn't ask for ice so why did you put it in there? Apologize and give her a new one... Anyway kind of bummed because I have seriously been going here for years and really enjoyed how chill and friendly it was to drink here. Maybe I'll pop back but it's been going downhill with the staff for a while. The time before I stopped in the bartender was hammered and also kind of rude. Unfortunately won't be back :(

I threw a party here last month, with the help of some other lovely ladies, and all I can say is that the owner of Four Treys and her staff are the nicest and most wonderful people to deal with. They were accommodating and tried their best to go above and beyond the call of duty for us. Thank you Four Treys Tavern!!

Yes, it is all true. But 2 stars worth? No. Yes, it's a locals bar that puts local in locals. Neighborhood imbibers and drunkards call this no-frills bar home. With $2 PBRs and daily drink specials you would call it home too. I went twice and enjoyed it for what it was an not what I wanted it to be.

The diviest of dives, man. Cash only. Dog friendly. No food except for a bag or two of potato chips hanging from the ceiling. Carpet that looks like it has lived 19 lifetimes. Dinginess everywhere. Karaoke binders that carry a pungent sickly sweet swell of dozens of spilled beers. Basically, it's like a better-lit fraternity basement party, with slightly better drink selections. And less PDA. The front of the bar is where you'll do your ordering (I recommend sticking to hard liquor or bottled beers, as I've had taste issues with the draft sometimes), but head back to play pool or darts or claim a table for karaoke. This is one of those bars that will be dead as a doornail at 10 p.m. and suddenly breaking the fire code 45 minutes later. It gets a good crowd, from 20 somethings all the way up through the occasional grandparent, and everyone is typically in a good mood (probably because you can feel comfortable rolling into this place in jeans, a hoodie, and Chucks, even on a Saturday night). Drink prices are good, the guy selling tamales tends to show up right when you need him, and the bathrooms are clean enough to get the job done, which is of some comfort considering how divey the place really is. It gets hot in the summer, as the A/C struggles to keep up, so dress accordingly, or avoid it on the hottest of weekend nights.

Context is everything. Four Treys? If that's the case, then the other six guys in the game are holding four bedposts, four fins, four demons, four luckies, four snowmen and four cowboys, You walk into Four Treys thinking, hey, sweet, a few cold ones post-game after one of the Roscoe fests. I just pulled four of a kind. Yee-uh. And then the cards are shown, and you're holding a big time bad beat. That's the feeling you'll have upon a visit to Four Treys. Why? Because no matter how many pints o'black you've had at the fest, you're still going to walk into no AC, stale beer and vomit drenched carpet like you had in the party room back at the ol' country club in 19-, er, something and faux wood walls. Four Treys? I'm not even thinking Four Deuces. I'm just thinking a deuce. Singular. Fold.

Our favorite neighborhood bar. My friends and I love Saturdays and Four Treys, which is karaoke night. The DJ is great and the crowd is the friendliest in the city. This place is the opposite of pretentious. You can wear anything, drink anything, sing anything, and still make new friends here. A terrific place for dancing, since the DJ plays good tunes between karaoke hits. Saturdays are also $6 pitchers. Overall drink prices are very cheap here. One memorable Saturday at Four Treys, my friends and I were riveted--yes riveted--by an older man in a uniform who serenaded the crowd with a head-banging, lighter-worthy rendition of Journey's "Separate Ways." "Someday love will find you..." The neighborhood bar scene doesn't get any better than this!

A bar full of quirky neighbors, fireman and randoms, fine by me. A bar that looks pretty much like a '70's suburban basement? No problem. Cheap drinks and relatively friendly service, certainly pluses. Low ceilings, too bright florescent lighting and kind of a stale beer stench in the backroom keep this from being a world class dive bar.

since my husband and I moved to Roscoe Village a little over a year ago Four Treys has become our favorite neighborhood watering hole.

Seriously, what is not to love about this place?! Karaoke, dive bar, cheap drinks, and feeling like you just crashed somebody's basement party in college. Staff and bartenders and friendly, and just a fun place to be. You really do feel like you're chillin in somebody's basement when you come to four treys. Love it. I'll be back.

I was stuck at about 3.5 stars for this place. It would have been 4 if I hadn't had my last experience there with a bitchy, rude waitress and when they were out of the Bud Light pitchers on special, she felt like substituting an $18 pitcher was no problem. Ugh. Some nights this place can feel a little too cliquey. We live about 200 yards away, so I wanted to love this place. Karaoke on Saturday nights is the most ghetto I've ever seen, but fun if you're with the right people. The crowds on Saturday nights also seem more fun and welcoming. Other times we've gone here and felt totally unwelcome. The owners live down the street from me and are completely awesome, so I know that it's mostly just the staff and the "regular" clientele. Still, I will continue to stop in when I want to drink someplace a little dirty.

$4! $4! No way! This has got to be a joke. Toto wake up we are finally in Kansas! I am elated to find out that a bar in Chicago could possibly offer a deal this good! And friendly bartenders to boot when does this dream end! The 6 of us belly up to the bar and gradually commit to another bloody mary. After all, this bloody is only $4. How can you possibly go wrong? As I entered the bar I told myself I'd switch to beer. I had already enjoyed two heavy bloody marys at brunch and didn't think I was up for another. After "Jeff" (sorry, I think that's correct) raved about his bloody I figured I must try it. It was decent. Worth all the raving? Well, I like mine with a little more kick! A lot more kick to be honest, but I demolished it in no time. Unfortunately, the crowd was ready to call it quits so quit I did. If I am back in the neighborhood I will definitely stop in!

This bar is perfectly laid back. I don't mean that the owner has contrived the atmosphere and decor to seem laid back. In fact- the decor in the place looks like it has been collected over the years and kept because it still works, not because it matches some designer's vision. The overall effect is that you're hanging out at a friend's house, where a little spilled beer isn't a big deal. You'll usually run in to a friendly dog or two here. I like going during the week (Tuesday night Trivia. It almost deserves its own positive review) where you'll probably meet Anna, the bartender who is always nice but never sacchrine sweet (this is a good thing), The prices are also right: $2.50 PBRs during the week. Saturday Karaoke is fun where there is little shame in butchering a song, but a good rendition is always appreciated. The dj whose name I always forget plays a dancable mix that's a little heavy on the Lady Gaga, but otherwise pretty palatable and generally fun. It's usually pretty packed on Saturdays, too. If you're looking for a place that's polished and will serve you drinks with umbrellas or things that end in "tini" while you wear stilletos, I suggest you look elsewhere. If you want to wear jeans and hang out, this is the place to go.

I want to be clear: this place is fine. Nothing awful about it. Nothing great about it. Their selection is fair, the prices are average, the atmosphere's okay, the bartender's a decent guy. I like what a previous reviewer had to offer about Four Trey's: "Being at Four Treys is like partying in someone's basement." Now, I LOVE a good dive bar, but here are the reasons I don't go back to Treys anymore: - There's no air conditioning (Which, last summer, for example, was equivalent to murder.) - The 2nd stall of the Ladies Room remained "out of order" for at least several months (Who knows how long it was broken before I started going there. Is it still?) - They only take cash (Yes, there's an ATM, but let's join the modern world, Treys.) - They charge for soft drinks ($2.50!? Ugh, that's a pain in the ass.) - They charge for refills of soft drinks (Come on Treys, get over yourself.)

"Chicago's best bar with carpeting." There are great times to be had at the Treys. My roommate and I found this place about 5 years ago when living around the corner. It was the closest place to get drunk on a cold winter's night. That's about it. Short on atmosphere. Short on selection. No food. But Saturday nights...now I like Saturday nights. Saturday night is Karaoke night, and my buddies and I have been coming here for years. It's the kind of place we always seem to end up visiting after midnight when it's packed. We'll storm in, tip the Karaoke DJ, and drink straight from our $6 pitchers until we can't feel feelings. I don't know if they're licensed to do this, but they seem to stay open until about 3am or after. Honestly, I can't remember if they sell beer that late, but I know I've left that late. Unfortunately, there is a drawback to drinking straight from a $6 pitcher of light beer. Guaranteed headache on Sunday morning. Essentially, you've got a crappy bar serving crappy beer and people signing crappy songs. The floor is carpeted (how many other bars can say that?), and the people are friendly. I would have taken away a star for smokiness, but the State of IL took care of that problem.

2.5.. Joint is dismal/ Strange Crowd and not much to see here! Couple strange video games near the bar that seem popular? Mothers Basement is the best description I believe.. Prices are average and absolutely NO WOMEN in this dump! Just a good place to hide and tie one on... get dat did

There's nothing particularly wrong with having a drink or two at Four Treys. Decent prices on beers (cash only), a seemingly nice pool table, and apparently they allow dogs. The bartender was ambivalent and could have cared less if we were there. It was not packed early on a Friday evening, but the bartender didn't bother asking if we wanted another drink, so we took that as a sign to leave. Nothing terrible, it is just that being here feels like you're in someone's uncle's basement. Note that I didn't write YOUR uncle, because I'm sure he's a great dude.

This is a little local bar. They have a decent amount of televisions. Round high boy tables with stools for seating. This bar is set up with a few bar room arcade games and darts. Very low key local bar for a relaxed night. We had a pitcher of beer and left.

This place has cheap beer, a friendly atmosphere, many games (board games, bag-o, pool, ect.), and good clientle. The detail that makes this bar stand out is that they let you bring your dog. They'll even bring your dog treats while you enjoy your cold beer. If you don't like the dog policy, there's plenty of bars nearby. For me, that's the reason to go there. Why 2 stars? Even on a day when all the windows and doors are open this place reeks of it's many years of cigarette smoke penetrating the walls. I don't understand the lack of ventilation. Or perhaps this place is just so old skool that there's no getting the stank out. I just don't enjoy the pervading smell of the place. Also, while they have excellent specials, they don't have a ton of selection. For a Roscoe bar, I'd like to see more draft beers.

No karaoke on friday night, no problem, make your own. Met a friend and "local" here on Friday night. Totally our bad, we thought karaoke was Friday and Saturday (nope just Saturday) but we were here, so why not. The place wasn't particularly full, but even if it was, I'm confident the bartender, Matt(?) Mark(?), would have continued to treat us like VIPs. He was awesome. Carried great conversation with my husband about The Grateful Dead, joked with my friends about the snacks behind the bar, and shared chocolate with us all! Great local pub with a homey vibe - almost like hanging in grandma's basement. Only negative is it's cash only.

Pretty friendly neighborhood dive. I live on the same block, it's cheap, and I can bring my dog in the bar with me. Oh yes, no more rushing to walk the dog before I head out for the night, I can do both in one trip! But other than those 3 key features, really nothing special about this place.

I like the Four Treys. I like it a lot. It's a great place to hang out, play some darts, and drink a brew with your friends and some dogs. The bartenders are very nice, patient, and friendly. The space leaves a little to be desired, but they've got good games, good seating, yet enough open space for pool and darts. The only reason that it gets 3 stars from me is that it has a very poor selection of beers on tap. Compared to most of the other bars in Roscoe Village, it has a very poor tap selection. Other than that, I really do like the place a lot.

Went in last night because the sign boasted it was the oldest bar in Roscoe Village. Ordered a 7&7, they did not carry that. So went for a beam and seven up, a splash Of beam. Bartender wasn't very friendly, and only 1 of us got the drink we wanted. ( no Michelin ultra, Busch lite, or 7&7)

All the comforts of your parents basement, without the curfew! Saturday nights at Four Treys are pretty much a guaranteed good time if you're into karaoke and pitchers of bud light. The karaoke is well done with no dead spots - not missing a beat, the dj usually plays Top 40 dance music while you're waiting for the next stumbling American Idol to take the mic. The crowd is friendly and you'll often see the same faces as it's a neighborhood place. Drinks are reasonable and with $8 pitchers of bud light on Saturdays it's pretty easy to know what to order. The only Saturday I would NOT recommend going here is during the Retro on Roscoe street fest. Then they open up this back garage part (which normally is never open) and charge big bucks for cans of bud light (no pitchers during the street fest, wah wah wah). BOTTOM LINE: All in all, on a Saturday night it probably has the highest energy in the Roscoe Village area, making it a good spot to wrap up an evening with some sing-a-longs.

Came here on Saturday night for karaoke and $8 bud light pitchers. It was a lot of fun! It was not too crowded when we got there but by 1am the place was packed with people singing and dancing along to the karaoke. We got there early enough so everyone in our group who wanted to sing got a chance to before things got crazy. This place is perfect because everyone is just out to have a good time and it's not too fussy. Many of the songs people sing at karaoke are freaking hilarious and are total throwbacks. I was a big fan of the guy in his late 20s who had an outfit and haircut that were straight out of 1996. Perfect addition to a place that feels like it is from yesteryear. I cannot say I'll be a regular at Four Treys but when people want to get loose with some karaoke on a Saturday night and get drunk for not much money at all I'll probably recommend Four Treys!

Came here late night on a friday night. Seems like I should've been here on a saturday night, oh well. It's a normal neighborhood bar and it's cash only. There really weren't that many people here even though it was a friday night. The beer selection is as expected with some bells and sam adams. The Bell's sure was expensive though as it was $6.50 a beer. I probably should've moved onto something else, but I didn't. The bartender was cool and easy to get a hold of. Four Treys is more 2.5 stars for me and with it being right across the street from a friend's, its likely I'll be back here for a re-evaluation at some point. But, it just doesn't seem that four treys is my scene for me at least.

This is not a bad spot for a local neighborhood dive bar. The atmosphere here is comfortable, friendly, and the prices are reasonable. If you want good night of fun, and laughs, check out their Saturday Karaoke Night. Cheers!

This bar is fantastic. All of the bartenders rock, it's laid back and they have great specials. Love the jukebox. It's a great place for day drinking. Or night drinking.

This corner bar is Chicago at its best. If you want cheap beer and bartenders that actually buy you a shot or a beer after being there for a couple hours come to this roscoe village landmark. Best times to go is during footabll season when they have Chicago's bar tender of the year and about 20 of the most die-hard Bears fans in the city.

Four Treys is ridiculous in the best way possible. First and foremost DO NOT come here sober. Especially on a Saturday night after 11pm. Being at Four Treys is like partying in someone's basement. There's carpet, which always kind of scares me, wood paneled walls, tiled ceilings and decor consisting of light-up beer signs and Christmas lights. It's totally freaking awesome. Best discovery for sure was karaoke. I was in on a Saturday night, so I'm not sure what happens other nights of the week, but karaoke for sure on Saturdays. Nothing says "Summer Rules" like wailing Welcome to the Jungle at 1am to a room full of your newly closest drinking friends. Beer prices aren't staggeringly cheap, but certainly not offensive. Plan on shelling out about $4 for domestic bottles. Service behind the bar was friendly and speedy. Finally, it's hotter than hell in this place. A ponytail and a tank top are your friends. Four Treys is easily one of my new fave dive bars.
