On the GridNovember 21, 2016Love table tennis? Test your skills against some eclectic locals at one of our favorite dive-bar/packaged goods spots in the neighborhood. Read more
Jeff WeinsteinMarch 26, 2014Local dive bar with ping pong in the back. Come off hours for a few people milling about or a warm night to hang in the patio. Good spot.
Chris SteeleJune 1, 2016Pack some cash, come early on a summer afternoon and colonize one of the long tables under the tents. There's not much point in fighting the crowds here, so bring your own.
prince of ArroganceJune 20, 2016Wonderful outdoor patio, when the sunshines it's a great spot for drinking with friends and cheap too. Chilled out atmosphere
Great back patio in the summer time. Ping pong inside year round.
Taylor KonigsederMarch 18, 2015Great dive bar, really fun with a group of friends. Be sure to check out ping pong in the back room!
Amy MoralesJanuary 12, 2013Great little hidden Local Neighborhood Dive! And yes they have Ping Pong! Cash Only!
Eric SecviarSeptember 27, 2013Great atmosphere, great hospitality. Ping-pong and a gorgeous patio. Sometimes the owner will play chess with you, too.
Emily JurlinaAugust 26, 2014Their back patio is great. You can bring in food and eat it while you drink outside.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Head inside, grab a cheap drink and keep on going through the back door to a spacious canopied patio. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to have a pizza delivered. Read more
Ellen StolarSeptember 1, 2014A great neighborhood bar. Tons of outdoor seating and a very active ping pong room !
SDizzOctober 1, 2013Omg...why has no one mentioned that is smells amazing on the patio?! GRAPE VINES URRYWURRR. Smells so good.
Will ChungMay 29, 2015At the end of bar, head straight for the beer garden and right for the ping pong tables
Great neighborhood joint, cheap booze and one of the neighborhood's best patios.
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014I didn't know I wanted to play table tennis while drinking, but now I know and I'm so glad that Happy Village made me more self-aware.
Allison KaminskiAugust 12, 2015Awesome outdoor patio and cheap canned beer!! Can't beat that for the summer!
Diego RufoMarch 29, 2011Beers here are dirty cheap, and if you have to sit inside, the juke box is above average. You can also play ping pong in an adjacent room. Read more
Phenomenal patio, sassy staff, cheap drinks, and, yes, ping-pong.
Layne FrostMay 9, 2013Happy Village is my favorite patio bar! Come enjoy it before it gets too hot!!
Dan GouldJuly 27, 2013Who knew? Happy Village doesn't allow babies in the bar. They don't serve their kind
Lauren SAugust 9, 2014It's a super great idea to put a single ladies stall behind like 14 doors so we have to constantly say we are sorry just to pee
Sit at the patio on unseasonably warm days in march.
Brian BSeptember 17, 2009Sit outside and smoke. Go inside and smoke someone at Ping Pong. Order beef jerky on a whim and realize it was a huge mistake.
Michael BolesApril 20, 2013Beware of Laura G on the ping pong table. She is a mighty force to be reckoned with.
Chicago Bar BracketMarch 21, 2015Meh service. They do have ping pong tables and a beer garden though. Read more- Chicago Bar BracketMarch 21, 2015Meh service. They do have ping pong tables and a beer garden though.
John AmundsenApril 2, 2010where i go to be hamms-fisted and pay tribute to the out-of-doors by smoking copious amounts of cigarettes on a glorious patio.
Nick GDecember 3, 2011I don't really recall this place been all that happy, but I don't think the name "Depressing Village" would be a huge selling point.
