It is not surprising to learn that whenever our Lakeview neighbors are looking to quench their thirst, Cody’s Public House is the only spot they go to for the best time around. For cocktails, Cody’s features a menu with classics as a nod to the building’s history ranging from $10 to $12. For the cooler months, hot drinks are available for $10 each including the Kentucky Hot Chocolate with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, bourbon cream, whipped cream and sprinkles and the Buckeye with hot chocolate, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, whipped cream and sprinkles. Cody’s Public House, located at 1658 West Barry Avenue, the corner of Paulina and Barry in Lakeview, is now open. A legendary neighborhood mainstay, former owner Gene Frankowski purchased the bar in 1986 and ran it for over 30 years as Cody’s Public House, named after his dog, until closing in 2019.

Cody’s Public House is Now Open in Lakeview
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.

Cody’s is located at the corner of Paulina and Barry, just down the block from the Walgreen’s at Paulina and Belmont. This part of Lakeview is wedged between Ashland to the east, the North Branch of the Chicago River to west, Belmont Avenue to the north, and an industrial corridor to the south. As the industrial area turns more into condos, the area is getting more of a residential feel, but at this point is still touch and go. Block Club Chicago is a nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, nonpartisan and essential coverage of Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods.
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.

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.

Like Resi’s Bierstube and Grizzly’s Lodge, Cody’s has an impressive beer garden for a neighborhood joint. You’d never know it unless you’ve been there, read about or known someone who’s been there as you can’t really see it from the street. Access to it can be had through the white door at the north end of the main barroom. When you walk out you’ll find a couple of tables on a wooden porch and more on the cement patio.
Over the years, the former mortgage company partners had been through the wringer while navigating the volatile restaurant industry, dealing with everything from hurricanes to oil spills. But it was a change in ownership and a variation from Cody’s long-held standards, coupled with the immediate and lingering effects of the coronavirus pandemic, that caused the father and daughter to start considering an exit.

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.
“As soon as we sold as part of the franchise agreement, we had to take all the signs down and we couldn’t serve another meal,” Stan Sofer said on April 3 from his office not far from the now shuttered 300-seat eatery located at 2890 W. He added they offered the out-of-state owners of the eight-franchise company the right to purchase the longtime local hot spot first. The bar now has a dedicated game room featuring darts, Golden Tee and Big Buck Hunter. The room, which can hold about 30 people, is available for rentals and private parties, Bagley said.
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.
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.
