Dakota's sharply dressed bartenders are friendly and quite knowledgeable. Female patrons tend to sip on Cosmos and daiquiris, while the guys down lots of cognac and beer. It's that simple. There are two bars to choose from and servers are prompt. There are plenty of fast-food options as well as the popular soul food spot BJ's Market down the Stony Island Avenue strip.
Street parking is easy, but spaces within close proximity to the front door disappear quickly.
