Gilt CityDecember 20, 2010The hottest spot in River North for after-work imbibing—due, in large part, to at-table taps.
Lucy LouJanuary 22, 2014Secured pay per use phone chargers downstairs. The courtesy has just turned into a business
LaJanuary 3, 2011The Lush cocktail is absolutely refreshing and the portobello fries are uber delicious
Eric BruceJuly 28, 2013Place has a Guido-esque dress code. Apparently no shorts allowed... in a Sports Bar... in July! Oy vey... oy vey indeed.
Bear DohringSeptember 9, 2010This place gets packed quick on weekends and thursdays, go to the back bar, elbow through and cross your fingers for service.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is so damn amazing!!! My winter fav!
Get the "unbearable" wings. I dare you. If I can do it, so can you.
Dhyana LandaMay 29, 2010Grilled cheese and tomato soup is great. Grilled cheese is a little small, but still yummy!
Tim McDonaldMay 17, 2011The @Zaarly Chicago Dream Team Happy Hour is 6-8 on May 17. Want to know what Zaarly is?
This just in: what an asshole that host was. Seriously, guy. If you hate your job so much, quit.
Chris OMarch 10, 2015I don't know how it's possible to ruin one, but I had the WORST waffle in my life here. They took it off the bill, but it was still concrete.
Great food, good alcohol, and a great crowd on Thursdays hosted by Outfit Events
