After becoming a regular here, I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in Chicago. I think I a good bar is one you're comfortable in. That's what estelles gives you. The music is always good. I like to visit Wednesday, my most stress filled day. Great punk music, with a low light atmosphere that allows me to just sit down and think through my day, my week. The Wednesday bartender, Levi, what he's doing. Great drinks while making you feel welcomed. They always have great beer on the menu. While I am a fan of stouts, you won't be disappointed by the ipa's. This isn't a dance club. This is a great place to either start or end a bar crawl. Or both. I wouldn't blame you for coming back for more.

Edit: it's summer now, like 90 degrees, and this place uses AC like it's free. If I could give 6 stars I would.
