No TVs, so you're forced to talk to other patrons. What a concept, I love it! If you don't feel like talking, grind on people in the crowded back dancefloor.
Great bar. Mixed drinks selection is nice and fantastic jukebox choices. Instant fav!
Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseSeptember 14, 2012This venue has seemingly deduced how to attract customers on a Tuesday: ① Price all draft beer @ $2.00; ② Have a DJ playing hip-shaking soul and funk music in the back room. ☻
Devon HustonFebruary 9, 2012The atmosphere here is absolutely epic, great drink specials and wonderful live music like Catfish & the Dogstars!!!!
Chris FergusonNovember 1, 2011Good beer + good music. Just tried the bee's nuts...awesome spice and goes well with a Tuesday beer
Awesome beer selection. Check out the Heard on Thursdays if you want to get funked!
Nidia A.November 22, 2011$2 drafts on Tuesday= Best Tipsy Tuesday ever! Back room has the best music in my opinion.
Matthew O'ConnorAugust 19, 2011Win a bunch of cash off your boy playing pool - then make it seem like you're doing him a favor when you buy drinks with his money.
Antony DemekhinNovember 20, 2010Ok the $2 pints are insane, but on Thursday and Saturdays there are old school hip hop jams in the back room that will remind you of your days in those gnarly disgusting teen clubs...amazeballs
MazdaNovember 5, 2010The perfect place to grab a cheap drink made by a friendly bartender, also no cover!

Hit the back room after 11 for the best hip hop, deep house and rare soul!
Best bar in Chicago. Especially if you like live music.
Last Wed. of the month, be here. The Heard (back room)...rocks my world.

- Funk/soul/boogie every Tues. In the back room - 10pm! $2 pints
Excellent live concert recordings up front. Live music in back.
- Go to the back room for Hip Hop on Fridays and Saturdays.
There's a hot bartender here with a beard. He looks like Kurt Russell. So dreamy.
