The Sock Bar and Grill

Horrible service horrible attitudes I can’t believe the manager… jr. or whatever… would treat his customers with such disrespect and harassment in his own establishment I really think somebody needs to call Bar Rescue because you can’t be treating people like that especially people you don’t even know. People need to check themselves and stop thinking they own the town! I will be notifying as many people as I can to let them know this isn’t a good environment to be in!

The food here is pretty decent, although my Philly cheesesteak didn’t really taste like what I would expect a cheesesteak to taste like. There was a strong Worcestershire sauce flavor to it. The tater tots were good, though. I’d try other items if we go back since our waitress was good and the food is reasonably priced.

This place is a great bang for your buck. The atmosphere is very friendly, the food is great, and the drink selection is great. It’s an all around great neighborhood bar.
The staff really works hard and is there for the customer. I love watching sports here.
I’ve gotten the wings, calzone, pizza, steak fries, and appetizers. The drink prices are really good.
You cant go wrong.

Best… BEST bar and grill! Great food great specials on drinksAND food!!! Excellent staff! Fun, happy and friendly! Large amounts of tv viewing with all sports! Love this place and you will too!!!
Don’t miss out on this place!

Everything is great except the «Kill your mother» music. With the recent closing of Philly T’s were looking for a new place to hang out. After being here Tuesday and listening to some good balls that took over the juke box, over riding all of our music with death metal loll yourself crap, I don’t think we will be back. Could have been our new hang out. Oh well.

The food is really from what everyone that I was with had. Nice friendly service as well which always makes an experience better. Prices are good and lots to choose from on the menu. A nice local place with a nice relaxing environment. No real complaints!

We’ve never had a bad item on the menu. Food is always fresh and tasty. The taco pizza is amazing. Bianca is the best bartender there by far. We always wait for a seat on her side. Hope they know what a great asset she is to the business.

Best place ever! Bartenders are great! Customers are welcoming! Food is awesome! New Owner, upgraded everything! If you have been here before and haven’t been recently you definitely need to come back and check it out!!! Pool table, darts, golden tee, shuffle board! This place has everything!!!

Pizza is very good & fresh; blue fish bowls are very yummy & strong so you need only 1; wings are some of the best I’ve had; cooked to the right crispy; parking is ample; highly recommend this place !!

Great Place Plenty of TVs for all sorts of Sports and Friendly staff always on top of your needs ! Watched the Cubs Beat Pirates on Wild Card Nite and Hawks Raising the banner. Food Great, Beers Cold, People are friendly and it’s not over crowded like big named joints. I’m not a regular and the Bar tenders are good to all of us plus their regulars. And coming here makes me want to become a regular. Love it !

Bartenders just watch the regulars. Good bar for regulars, but if your new there they won’t make you feel comfortable. I’ve been there 3 times, with 3 different bartenders and It was the same every time. Try another local bar if you want to feel comfortable if your new. If you look most of their good reviews are from 2007 — 2012. That’s why their rating is even as high as it is. Someone new probably bought the bar in 2012.

The food at this bar is excellent! I especially thought the burger was one of the best I ever had. Good place to watch a game, too. I really enjoyed myself here! They also do pig roasts here sometimes and those are so good!

Invited by friends under the false pretense that it was a 9 – 11 remembrance with 30% off the bill. When it was time to pay some pretty boy with a beard took issue with the deal because his girlfriend was going to lose out on tip money as the bartender. Arguments ensued, I, an Army veteran and a Deputy Sheriff was thrown out when I was only trying to pay the bill. Don’t go here!!!

I met some friends here for a Bears game. The beers were nice and cold and they sell buckets and have specials. The servers were friendly and prompt. Ordered some food and it was all delicious. They also put out a halftime spread with sloppy Joe’s, potato salad and lots of other goodies all for free. It’s roomy and handicap accessible. The bathroom was decent and clean. I will definitely be going back.

It was good. I had a large pizza puff. I asked for chicken. It was good. The bar maid was very helpful & kind. I really appreciated that. It was good. I guess it was a few people in the bar, about 12:30pm … made me feel a little uncomfortable… Maybe it was just me. when I want a pizza puff I’ll probably go back. the pizza puff was really good!

Came here from the northwest suburbs and was not disappointed! Drinks were very inexpensive and the ambiance is a great mixed crowd. Next time, I may order some food too!

I have always enjoyed going to the Dirty Sock, cold beer, good food, everyone’s friendly, it’s a great neighborhood bar!!!

Loved the thin crust sausage pizza — not greasy, just tasty. Chuck the owner really puts for to make sure you have quality fresh food! Personally I don’t like fried foods, but my friends do and he had plenty of munchies for those who love that. Good «Sports Bar». BATHROOMS ARE SPOTLESS — which is not typical for a sports bar and the prices are good! Great for large crowds and birthday parties!

Any bar with dirty in its title should be gone to with caution. This is a heavy White Sox bar and from outside just looks like any other bar that is unattached. There is a large section in the back. Not too much on tap and this is not a brewery. The choices are slim on the beer to drink. The place is a unique looking bar and not as dirty as I expected. A very youthful crowd keeps the parking lot full many times at this place I have noticed in my travels. they must be doing something right.

The Dirty Sox wasn’t what I expected it to be. From the outside it appears to be a classic sports bar, when you go inside you get a dive bar with a typical Chicago South Side flavor.
Dirty sock is divided into three sections, a small bar, a large bar with pool tables and a party area in back with more pool tables. Kitschky plastic baseball helmets from the seventies are hanging from the ceiling. Stereotypical female bartender wearing referee’s shirt and shorts, showing plenty of cleavage, too much makeup and a slightly bored expression on her face.
Draft and bottled beer selection is rather limitied. Mostly Bud and Miller products. Food is geared toward Man vs Food enthusiasts. They got a couple of monster burgers on the menu including the Heart Attack. A pound and a half of ground beef topped with cheese and two grilled cheese sandwiches.
Strong point to Dirty Sock is the patrons seem to know each other very well and were pretty friendly. Bored looking bartender keeps up the ambiance by throwing around wooden nickles good for a free drink.

Yes, I tipped a few back at this place. This is a neighborhood sports bar/​dive bar… call it what you want. The people are friendly, plenty of TV’s, food is ok… it’s bar food people. You drink, you get hungry, they have food. Eat it! Drinks are very reasonable.
This is White Sox territory. Also Hawks and Bears. You may see an occasional sports celebrity. This is a casual, fun place. Come as your are and relax.

Originally I really liked dirty sock. Like other people have mentioned, it’s a white sox themed bar with beer towers that are cheaper than ordering lots of bottles of beer.
We’ve had a few birthday parties here including one for my boyfriend. It was a good night and our friends filled the bar and took it over. Owner passed around free apple pie shots which was nice.
This also became a great place to watch the Blackhawks games. In the 2009 playoffs, they had sirens and sold signed merchandise and put the game on a big projection screen with the sound on (which I prefer).
The reason I am only giving Dirty Sock one star is because of the attitude of the owner. During the 2010 playoffs, we went to watch one of the games against Philly here and the owner would occasionally pick up the mic and add his own commentary to the game.
My problem with that, he was using homophobic and hateful words like faggot and other things I don’t find acceptable. I immediately went to yell at the owner and tell him off, but my friends stopped me. They passed around free shots when the Hawks won but this place has forever lost my business as I dislike homophobic attitudes displayed so proudly.

Alot of my friends like this bar. Im not a huge fan.
–the good
I love the Skill crab, havent won yet but its still amazing
Bathrooms are clean
Good internet jukebox
Beer towers are a good idea
–Now for the bad
Service seems bad
The Cops are ALWAYS around.
The beer towers are overpriced but probally still the best choice since the service is slowwwwwww. Its a pretty busy place but they seem to have more barbacks then bartenders.
they do last call at like 1am on Fridays more often then not

I had a chance to check out The Dirty Sock the other day. This place not only makes you feel comfortable, it also has that «come one, come all» type of feel to it.
First, let me just rapid fire off some of things about the place that make a bar a bar.
Beer selection: very good and great prices
Juke Box: great songs and great sound system.
TV’s: flat screen TV’s everywhere on a variety of sporting events.
Bathrooms: you could literely eat off the floor in there, and I bet someone has.
Food: great Chicago style food (beef’s, sausages, burgers, hot dogs, etc. and the prices were great. Big portions. Also, the cook came out and asked how everything was.
Bartenders: exceptionally nice.
Overall, this place is great. If your looking for a local neighborhood bar where you can belly-​up and have some drinks, or want to throw some darts or play Golden-​Tee, then I would recommend this place.
