The Scene – As slick sushi bars and trendy night spots push into Ukrainian Village, the Gold Star's an unabashed workingman's bar from old Chicago.

In a neighborhood that has essentially become "Lil' Lincoln Park", it's heartening to see the Gold Star holding its own.

City workers, artists, sport fans and the great unwashed have always mingled peacefully here and it is my sincere hope that that continues to happen as the streets outside get gobbled up by greedy developers. Friendly, attentive barkeepers, good prices and one of the best jukeboxes in the city. Leave your credit cards and snotty attitude at the door, please.

What a Joke
by carnivore63
They say they have been open for 20 plus years seems like 20 mins on my estimation .. If your not a so called REGULAR dont bother not worth your time to stop in for a so called cold beer.. Your time is good elswhere
- Cons: service, pricy, atmosphere

Be yourself
by chunkluv
Grab a seat, talk to a stranger, be yourself. This bar is great, very laid back and you never have to wait for a beer. Show up in your new duds or put on your pajamas and head on in.
- Pros: Inexpensive, Laid back
- Cons: Can get crowded
