Love justin's beer garden!

I recently went to justin's outdoor patio for the first time. I've lived in the area for 4 years and have just never gone out there, but have been to justin's many times. I have to say that it is one of the best beer gardens in the city! The bar w/flat screen's really adds a lot to the environment and the staff was extremely friendly. I will be back very soon!...If the rain ever stops this summer :)

Real people, real fun!!!

I had such a great experience at this bar. New to the city and it was the first time I really felt welcomed. The waitresses and bartenders were down to earth people that actually look like they have fun working there. This will now be a regular spot for me to relax and have fun. And c'mon, how can you hate that beer garden?

Love it!

This bar has one of the best beer lineups in the city, and some of the best bartenders to pour you wrong. I live down the street, have been here more times than I can count, and always have an amazing time. I never write reviews, but after the negative ones here, I had to put in my two cents.

my favorite bar!

Justin's has an outstanding atmosphere--a great scene for regulars. The staff always seems to be having a lot of fun, and most will take the time to get to know you. Good food, 14 beers on tap--an all around A+. Also, they recently renovated, so it's not quite as dive-y. The TVs are large and plentiful. A great place to stop in often.

Do not go to Justin's
By JasTer from Lakeview, January 27, 2008

Overall rating:

Justin's has the potential to be a fantastic place given the space, the wraparound bar, and the location. Unfortunately, the staff are the most unpleasant, unwelcoming, unfriendly group I have ever experienced. Every time I've been there they have been pushy and insulting. Hopefully customers recognize this awful service (it seems like it's already happening) and the place will go out of business and be taken over by someone who actually cares about keeping their patrons happy and loyal.

slow death
By williemays from lakeview, January 18, 2008

Overall rating:

this place seems to be dying a slow death. don't know if it's because of the brown line construction, competition, or the 40-something (lazy, rude, indifferent) bartenders, but have a feeling it's the latter two. Staying dedicated to long time employees is one thing, but when they're making for a terrible customer experience and killing the business, well Justin, you make the call. Until then, my money will stay north on Southport.

Overall rating:

Justins is a terrific neighborhood bar, with a fantastic beer garden. The place has the look of a poorly taken care of dive, but the food is pretty good bar fare, and the staff is efficient. No one is going to treat you like royalty, but they are attentive, so I dont know why others are complaining!

Overall rating:

I have pure disgust for this place solely due to the RUDE bartenders and service. They are self-centered, angry people.

Justin's is the worst place...
By Laura from Chicago, IL, May 31, 2006

Justin's is the worst place I have ever been to. The staff is horrible. The food is an absolute disgrace!! Barely edible. Go down the street to the Schoolyard if you want good food and some nice eye candy. Justins is LAME
