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.
LaJanuary 3, 2011The Lush cocktail is absolutely refreshing and the portobello fries are uber delicious
Dhyana LandaMay 29, 2010Grilled cheese and tomato soup is great. Grilled cheese is a little small, but still yummy!

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.
Crain's Chicago BusinessMay 10, 2010Great bar food here--try the pulled pork, served with a tangy barbeque sauce. Read more

This just in: what an asshole that host was. Seriously, guy. If you hate your job so much, quit.
Brian BrooksAugust 23, 2010This place is popular, and I do come here based on the crowd and covenient location from work.....BUT....the service is pretty bad on a consistent basis. So not great if u want attentive service.
Lucy LouJanuary 22, 2014Secured pay per use phone chargers downstairs. The courtesy has just turned into a business
Get the "unbearable" wings. I dare you. If I can do it, so can you.
Great food, good alcohol, and a great crowd on Thursdays hosted by Outfit Events

How cute are those beer pourers at the tables? And, Brandi is my girl! @FIJIhunt
