The Chicagoist named The Cove Lounge as a top “old man” bar, but with its dog-friendliness, pitchers of beer, picnic tables, darts, foosball, trivia nights, and well-stocked jukebox, that sounds just fine to us. The mounted fish and harpoon over the bar gives it a slightly nautical theme. On Thanksgiving weekend, native Hyde Parkers home for the holidays meet at the Cove to reconnect and reminisce.
