You can definitely pass on this one. Bartenders were rude. Couldn?t make a Tom Collins. Bouncers/security constantly shuffle your party around since there is very little standing room by the bar and you aren?t allowed to stand near the seating area(even at 11 pm when they have clearly turned into a bar). The music was terrible and ungodly loud. The floor was SO STICKY.Plenty of other option on this street that are better than this.
Poor customer service, food wasn 't good, no sports on, and uncomfortable seating. We were greeted with, you 're looking at happy hour as I tried to ask why a High Noon can was $5 for a single or a bucket of 10 for $60. The chicken tenders were likechicken fingers and very plain. The sliders were undercooked. Most of the plate fries that weren 't bad. For as many TVs as theyhad, they only had two channels on and neither had games on. Wouldn 't go back unless I was there to drink for free.
One star for the wings, should be 0 otherwise. Music was insanely, unnecessarily loud with no low-end as another reviewer mentioned, making it an awful environment. We mentioned this to several employees and they were being very rude aboutit. Another reviewer summed it up perfectly: Not a sports bar, not a club, not a place for dancing, not a place you can meetfriends. I don?t think they can make up their minds, so just do everything poorly.
We are all Barstool Sports (Spittin?Chicklets fans visiting Chicago from Vancouver BC Canada so just had to stop in and check this out. We were greeted at the door by a lovely doorman who checked all of our ID and scanned it (we are 53, 49, 23 25 anda good thing I brought my ID! It was practically empty so we had the pick or the seats. We sat at a booth and the seat was rockhard but surprisingly not uncomfortable. Massive large sports bar with windows opened to the street so nice fresh air. Weordered 3 x Fizz Nasty?s (Pink Whitney and Soda and an old fashioned to drink. For a snack we ordered artichoke dip and dryrub hot wings. The food was good ok. There were only two bathroom stalls for the entire bar and there was four of us in lineat one point (couldn?t imagine what would happen if it were busy! Service staff were nice. The restaurant was nicelydecorated. Multiple tvs playing with various sports.
I?ve been here a few times, the food is average to below average. Feels like most of the time servers don?t actually listen because I?ve had the wrong beer brought multiple times. Also if you get stuck sitting on the low booth that doesn?t have tablesopposite of the table in front of it, it?s an awful spot to be stuck sitting in.
