- Lucille FisherJune 6, 2019Outdoor seating on sunny/warm days. Happy hour beer specials, last visit they were featuring Surly beer (delish!) perfect with the three flavors wings.Upvoted Nov 21
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014The crowds at this Old Town bar and grill come for the barbecued ribs and super-sized vodka-spiked lemonades and stay for the spacious covered patio. Read more
BG LeBeauMarch 17, 2013Seems like a great place to watch sports. Multiple bars, tons of TV's and a good amount of space. Watched UFC PPV here and enjoyed it. They have food and golden tee, too.
Capitan DanyoDecember 22, 2012The BBQ Lovers Delight is a ton of food. You will eat for days. The Prime Rib on Fridays are good. The wings are good and the staff is fairly attentive.
Heather FolsomOctober 15, 2016BBQ burger was great. Fries were awful. $13 shrimp po boy only had 4 shrimp and a ton of bread & nasty pale tomatoes- it was decent tho, just way too salty. Ambiance is pretty nice. Good for sports.
Josh SciannaNovember 28, 2017Large bar in Old Town. Their specialty is large sugary cocktails served in plastic cups - if your looking to blackout this is the place to go.- Myles H.March 27, 2022Great food, better bathroom. Had an unreal poop in the north end toilet. Felt like a new man after my burger.
Pat D.July 13, 2012Great place for freezer burned chicken tenders. I've cut through phone books that were more tender.
Morgan GrimesJuly 15, 2019The wings= spicy/ yummy.... burger was good but not my fav bc I love a good egg that oozes out, egg was a bit fried to a crisps 👎🏼 big ass lemonades not bad but tastes a bit like perfume
Fireplace InnMay 15, 2011Tonight! Bulls vs Miami Heat Eastern Conf. Finals at The Fireplace Inn! $3 Bud Light Drafts, $5 Skyy Bloody's and $5 Mimosa's. Tip-Off at 7PM sharp!- ISC ChicagoJune 7, 2015Serious renovations, significantly reduced in size for now until the expanded space is complete
- Electric lemonade is a game-changer. One of few tolerable places in Old Town
Kellen DeadyOctober 22, 2011Vodka lemonades are amazing, you won't remember how good they are the next day...
- L KAugust 17, 2014Too busy at night. Crowds push and shove. Supposedly the good is good for dinner though. Will report back
i agree, try the giant vodka lemonades! then check out cityblue apparel & denim two doors south for men's & women's jeans tshirts jewelry and more!- Used to be one of the more tolerable bars in Old Town but the renovations have sucked most of what character it had to begin with.
Old Town's home for Purdue sports. Football and Basketball. Boiler Up!!!!

David RosenbergMarch 10, 2012Did not like the beef or pork ribs...way too much BBQ sauce...too many other great rib joints in town!!
Rusty RectorMay 27, 2011We were perplexed by the bar staff on a Fri afternoon/eve. Both were cold, and seemed like they would rather be elsewhere. Many patrons were making comments about this around the bar. Not good!
Rachael HendersonJuly 3, 2011Where's the underage people?!? Here alone. Family event. Drunk and alone. My own age group
Susie WhiteJune 5, 2010Do NOT get the Santa Fe Quesadilla or the mini burgers. They looked like they came straight out of a box (but smaller - literally boca burgers cut in fourths) and were served totally plain with no sid
Not going to lie, we usually head here if the line is long at Benchmark, however, it never fails to disappoint!
Mary RJanuary 11, 2011Don't ask them to make a grilled cheese. Unless you'd like it on a hamburger bun. Gross.
