    Great location. Beer selection was average and unfortunately so was the food and service. Could have been a bad night. Lots to choose from in the area.

    I work here and I definitely agree that we have the most attractive staff in Chicago but we have much more to offer than that.. we are just steps from the monumental Wrigley Field, great specials, fun

    One of the nicer Wrigleyville bars. Make sure you get there early if you don't want to wait in line to go dancing upstairs.

    ... an upstairs venue which serves as a more club like scene with a DJ both Friday and Saturday night unlike any other bar in Wrigley while maintaing a more pub like atmosphere...

    Feeling fratty? Head here. But, don't forget the polo and hair gel. Looking to get even more wild? Head upstairs to the dance floor. If she looks under 18, she probably is... bro.

    Try the Barleycorn Platter and a 4 Rebels Dragonbomb! The platter has a little bit of everything and who doesn't like a bomb??

    A miss here, (JBC for toolbags) Barleycorn is overrated. Downstair is ok I guess.Barleycorn in Lincoln Park is even worse. This is the mecca of midwest toolbags. Yeah Barleycorn shouldve stay in Iowa
