Nice dive/neighborhood bar. Drinks are priced well and they have a great selection of beer. There are board games, darts, a pool table(good luck trying to get a game) and a shuffleboard. Location is great too, right by the Addison brown line. Overall not a bad place to grab a game and a drink with friends.

A solid choice for low key drinks. Pretty good craft beer choices in addition to the standard macro beers. Bartenders are friendly and they always have specials. A few arcade games and board games are available. Really good neighborhood bar.

It’s a bar happy to be a bar and not trying to be anything else. Very«neighborhoody» feel and lots of kinds of cheap beer. Seldom crowded with generally solid service, The Cork Lounge is an asset to the neighborhood and has been for a long time.

Nice little neighborhood bar with an entire bookshelf of games that bar patrons can play. While here recently, we enjoyed Connect Four and attempted to play Boggle(no instructions left in Boggle so we gave up almost immediately — Connect Four was easier for us to comprehend at that point of the evening). There’s a few tables up front and then a long, narrow hall where the bar is, and the back opens up to another area where some pool tables are. Nice spot when you’re looking for a few casual drinks in the hood.

I’ve been searching for this bar all of my life. Its conveniently steps away from the addison brown line. I like to stop by for a couple drinks before heading out for the night, but it’s also a destination in itself. The drinks are cheap and the bartenders are totally friendly. There’s plenty to do(pool table, shuffleboard, board games, etc.). If you’re looking for a quaint roscoe village bar that strongly resembles the bar from How I Met Your Mother, this is the place.

Cork is definitely one of those awesome neighborhood bars that you should definitely check out. Service is good, bartenders are great, and the prices are super awesome. $ 2PBR drafts everyday! Also lots of beer and shot specials. The place has a cozy feel, offers table games in the front, has pool table in the back with table shuffleboard as well in back. One of my fav neighborhood bars.

I wanted a quick nite cap after exiting the brownline from a long nite at work(I’m in the industry) so I decided to stop in. Nice place cool selection of beer, people having fun BUT I sat down and watched the one drunk bartender drink, the bar back wash glasses in front of me and the other bartender take care of the one side of the bar. I sat for 10 min. I got up to use the bathroom then came back to the one side the bartender was only serving and waiting some more cause now she was talking to someone for more than 3 minutes more that I waited. The bartender didn’t acknowledge that I was there, the drunk didn’t know what was going on and the barback in the Adidas jacket didn’t even look at me and tell the bartenders that there was someone waiting for drink. NOTCOOLSHITTYSERVICE. Will NOT be back

A great local dive spot. They have pool and shuffleboard(pool a dollar a game, shuffleboard for free). They have amazingly cheap beer deals and also high quality beers on tap. The service is always friendly and they also serve some snacks and food here. They also have some cool lounge chairs and tons of old board games to play while drinking.

The Cork is my kind of place. They have several tasty beers but they also sever $ 2 PBRs on tap. There is a comfortable section up front with a bookshelf with games and tables to play them. The bar has got that great old timey feel. Large, made of dark wood, and the back wall is covered with bottles and memorabilia. The bartenders sometimes seem understaffed so it might take a while for them to get back to you on busy nights. The Cork has a large shuffleboard table. Get the discs at the bar. The women’s bathroom is usually clean, had two stalls, and lots of mirrors with mustaches on them. In the back there are more tables and a pool table. No cards under $ 10. They have a limited menu of snacks. This place is right across the street from the Brown Line-Addison stop and is a really comfortable place to grab a beer and hang out.

Nice on most nights, the beer selection’s good, it’s cheap($ 2PBR, gotta love that), and the bartenders are cool. It’s a decent stroll from me, but it’s worth it most of the time. When someone has a birthday, or there’s a game, or there’s a crowd for whatever reason, it can be not as great. Especially if you like to shoot pool. They will flat-out sit on the table. You ask someone to move, and another person will immediately take their place. This isn’t the norm, but it does make things unpleasant. That said, I hit the Cork Lounge pretty often, it’s a nice place, and I love the fact that they have board games. Granted, they’re missing pieces, but it’s the thought that counts. Awesome place.

this place has a similar feel to guthries for me its nice and comfy, well worn in, has its regulars but accomodates newbies; bookcase of games with missing pieces, ornery staff, and flashback tunes its not the best but dont knock it till uve tried it

If I lived in the neighborhood, this bar would SO be my place. Cheap drinks. Lots of seats. Decent music. Friendly patrons. Games. Need I really say more? Ok, I will. My broke ass was loving the über-cheap options. The chalkboard advertises all the specials and options available. I was a little miffed with Cork not carrying High Life(WTF.) but I rebounded nicely with a Coors Light. As a woman in her 30s, I was more feeling the front section of the bar. The back seemed to be overloaded with DePaul kids bumping and grinding to Nelly hits from the 90s. I mean, I’m not above a dance party, but if you’re not feeling sweating it out to Ride Wit Me, chill in the front and you’ll be A-OK. So yeah. Next time I’m up and around here, I’m in.

The Cork Lounge is an awesome neighborhood bar. When I lived nearby, I frequented with my roommates. Now, I live farther away but it’s a perfect spot when you have some time to kill on random weeknights, so I still come back. Cool little watering holes are a dime a dozen in Chicago, but the relaxed, inviting atmosphere of this neighborhood is really captured here. This place has a good crowd on the weekends, and everyone is always friendly here, but my only tip would be to order your next drink before you finish/close your tab as you order your final drink because the bartender is often alone and busy.

Yes! Finally a cheap, super cool, old school bar! Directly under the Addison brown line, $ 2PBR pints daily plus a bunch of daily specials(check small tabs dot com), board games, shuffleboard, darts, decent juke box, chalk in the bathroom if you’re feeling artistic. You can bring food in since they don’t have any. I like! Only drawbacks are the influx of DePaul kids on the weekend nights thanks to the cheap drinks, and the night we were there they had only one bartender for a very full bar(which may have been uncommon, dunno) so service was just a wee bit slow the later it got. Their hours claim that they open at 1 but we tried to go on a Sunday and found the joint locked up tight with no one answering the phone even at 5pm — when in doubt, call first. Oh, if you want to play one of the many board games, bring your own dice because theirs have gone missing.

I find it odd that this bar is literally under the EL stop and promotes $ 2 PBRs everyday, yet there’s never anyone here. It’s location is rather convenient for me so I’ve been here on Tuesdays and Saturdays and there’s not too much difference. I tend to enjoy a low-key, low profile place to hang with a friend or two and catch up on conversation without being hassled by a bunch of drunks. I’ve yet to break out one of the many board games offered up, but I’m always tempted. I do however enjoy the computer screen games that most bars have but here you generally don’t have to wait for people hogging it since the odds are usually in your favor that you might be the only one interested in playing. On occasion there are more than ten people here and that’s when the bar seems understaffed since there’s only one bartender who is also the server, busser, manager, and security. It’s got a good juke box and really good drink specials!

I’ve only peered through the glass nine hundred times whilst driving past. Always admiring the many signs boasting the many beer specials. Cans for .75 cents you say! I don’t give a shit for PBR, so I’m glad there are a great more beer offerings & drinks on special. $ 2 assorted shots, hellz yeah. As the other guy stated, walk in… All the way in, down to the end of the bar. Sit in the middle of it. Perfect view of those walking in, all TVs and those pool playing. Sit long enough and you can either enjoy the solitude of listening to random music or looking over to your left as the brunette hottie bends over to make her next bank shot. Lots of dark woods, ass enjoying seats, tiled flooring which clacks aloud as the cutie in heels makes her way in. Of course it’s another bar, but a nice place nonetheless. Couple beers in and a few shots on sale, I’m done for the night and headed home. A last hurrah before the bedtime abyss.
