Downey's Har-Hig

You like Bingo? They have Bingo. You like Trivia? They have Trivia. You like food? They have great food on trivia/bingo nights that folks bring in and share. It's like family. Service is friendly, prices are fair. Your grandfather would be proud of you for drinking at a throw-back bar like this.

Your classic dive bar experience, cash only, cheap drinks, no frills, if that's what you're looking for, then this place definitely fits the bill. It's on the far NW side of the city, but right off the Harlem blue line stop/Kennedy expressway. They also sell alcohol to go, so that's an added plus if you need any for wherever you go afterwards. Bartender was nice, it was my first time there, but he made a point to talk to me and introduce himself. I live on the south side, so I'm not up here too much, but if I'm back in the area I'd definitely stop by again.

We came here randomly while visiting family in the area. The bartender and the customers were all very friendly and the beer prices are very reasonable. Definitely a neighborhood dive as others have mentioned with mostly older men but my wife said the women's bathroom was clean which is always a major concern for her.
We'll be back again.

This place is just amazing. The owner is very nice, the prices are unbeatable. It's a very chill atmosphere.

Great spot for beers. The owner Danny and his bartenders especially Philly are hospitable and attentive. Philly adds a "Goodfella's" personality to the place. It is very clean and has a 1950's like atmosphere, package goods in coolers and a spacious bar along with several tables and stools with backs. A big plus to this geezer. Lots of regulars who are all good guys Never a problem in there. Loud enough to know your in a neighborhood tavern. Good jukebox. Parking in the rear and a block from the Harlem Ave Blue Line stop. To me, the perfect place to get a cold one.

Coldest beer in town!!! We used to have our fantasy football drafts here. Great place to have a couple beers and relax.

very friendly staff and clientele. great place to watch the Cubs Sox the Bears lots of big screen TVs very reasonable prices and a very large selection of carry out beers wines and liquor I highly recommend this place if they're not busy they tend to close early especially on Sundays

A nice old mans bar with mafia looking guys. This place is a liquor carryout store and has good prices compared to the chains. Five nice statues around bar make this place different than the rest.

Best dive bar around ! Bartenders are friendly and the old men are great! Lots of retired cops and firemen come in here
