| - I have to agree with my esteemed girlfriend... Jekyl and Hyde is my favorite South Side bar. Not only do they have your usual Yuenglings and Miller Lights for cheap, but they also sport an interesting and unique variety of high gravity beers (including the delicious 14% ABV Samichlaus). They also make their own signature beer and liquor concoction, "Witch's Brew." Opinions are mixed among my friends--some hate it, some love it--but if you go, you should try it.
The bar service can be a bit slow at peak times, but the bartenders are great. Amazingly, Carmella will remember your name once she learns it and greet you personally the next time you're in. If you can reach the inner sanctum of regulars (sadly, I haven't), you get added to her mass text for their special events, and a reminder if you forgot your credit card.
Others, including my dear Becky, have described the decor well. I'll just add that when they actually have Halloween parties, people come in costume; the atmosphere is even better! I do have to disagree with some of the other reviewers, though: the shock game is a favorite of mine.
Basically, this is a welcome change of pace from your average Carson St. bar.
