Here at UrbanMatter, we pride ourselves on leading the charge when it comes to Chicago entertainment. From venues, restaurants, and bars to events, festivals, and music — we’ve got you covered. Not being able to have a farewell party and thank their staff and customers was tough. Indeed, over the course of nearly two decades the Sofers built a loyal customer base, thanks to the fresh food they served daily, and hospitality shown by the employees, owners and staff. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.

It looked as if a canonball had hit the wall behind it, causing the dartboard to bend outward with such force as to break the metal partitions between the varying point values. Don’t worry though, there’s another dartboard back up the stairs in the main barroom and there’s even a couple of boards outside in the beer garden. The wall above the dartboards back in the dart room seems to be an experiment in how many plaques can be hung before the wall collapses. There is also a balcony for dart observers, should there ever be any.

Beer Garden Lakeview Chicago

Cody’s Public House still has its unique, classic atmosphere and neighborhood beer garden vibes! There is a very good reason we chose to hang onto Cody’s corner tap ambience – our loyal customers! People who seek out bars with patios prefer them since there is the kind of comradery they have come to appreciate throughout the decades. Customers also like the fact that they can bring along their dog, their significant other, or both! Even better, Cody’s beer garden is able to accommodate up to 100 guests. What is not to love about the prospect of visiting one of the region’s finest bars with patios and gather around the fire pit?

Outside food allowed,

Frankowski sold the building to Red Door Tavern Group (The Graystone Tavern, The Rambler Kitchen + Tap) in September 2021, who promised to honor the bar’s history with tasteful restorations of its beloved elements while adding updated amenities. All in all, Cody’s is the “quintessential neighborhood bar,” in the words of Chicago Magazine reviewer, Penny Pollack, and was awarded Best Darts by The Official Chicago Bar Guide (2001). If you’re up for a cheap pint, game of darts or to bask in the glory of their bocce ball beer garden, Cody’s is the place for you. Red Door Tavern Group is also keeping the bar’s outdoor beer garden, which can hold 100 people and will be upgraded with new lights, seating, tables and backyard games like bocce ball, Bagley said.

Great beer selection,

Cody’s is equipped with a full bar and a new tap system featuring 16 beers on draft. Offering local craft beers and rotating seasonal brews, winter selections currently include Maplewood Son of Juice, Three Floyd’s Gumballhead and Zombie Dust, Revolution Anti-Hero, Spiteful IPA, Noon Whistle Bernie Milk Stout, Goose Island Greenline and more.

Outdoors, Cody’s offers an expansive beer garden that can accommodate 100 people where guests can cozy up to the year-round fire pit, weather permitting. In early spring 2022, Cody’s will remodel the beer garden adding new lights, seating, tables and backyard games.

Strangely, they’ll let you play darts longer as if bocce ball stirs up more raucous behavior. On the other hand, I did observe a rather loud foursome playing who, instead of playing two people at either end of the court, would would walk from end to end at the end of each round with some hangers on in tow. It looked like golfers moving from hole to hole, followed by a gaggle of fans. My friend and I wanted to jump in and join the mobile gallery but, sadly, the match ended before we had the chance.

Down a few stairs from the main room is the dart room your dad would be proud of. The room boasts real cork dartboards and chalkboards with a cutout to place your chalk in. Be wary of the dartboard on the left – the last time I was there, it was unplayable.

The bar also now has eight 65-inch TVs, bringing the bar’s total up to 10 TVs, Bagley said. With the sale now finalized (due to a noncompete agreement, the Sofers can’t say who they sold to or what will occupy the old Cody’s space) and more free time on the horizon, Stan and Suzy Sofer are already searching for their next father-daughter business venture. Then, cost-cutting measures, like using more frozen foods, implemented by the new owners pushed the Sofers over the brink.

The space is actually a garden, sporting flowers, trees, bushes and lanterns, which gives it that laid-back, relaxing feel that any good beer garden should have. Additionally, Cody’s is one of the few bars (if not the only one) in Chicago that has outdoor dartboards, which are protected from the elements by an overhang. Leave your ID with the bartender to get your balls and there’s even a rake for grooming. The bocce officially ends at 9pm, but if you’re not too loud, they’ll let you play longer; this is to help keep the noise level to a minimum.

Cody’s Public House is housed in a 126 year old building constructed in 1894, and Red Door Tavern Group spent months restoring several of the bar’s original elements. The existing tin ceiling was repainted copper and features several antique Schlitz chandeliers hanging throughout. The original backbar sconces were repurposed as pendant lights and sconces throughout the main bar, and the original oak wood floors were refinished. The bar’s pool table and jukebox were upgraded, and both the dart boards and much of the artwork were cleaned, polished, and rehung. New improvements included replacing the glass block windows with larger windows for better ventilation during the warmer months. Farm-style siding was added on the outside of the building, and a fresh coat of dark and cozy green paint was added inside, complemented by a knotty pine trim, as well as art and memorabilia from the new owners’ personal collections.
