Our table was so close to 2 other tables that there was no room for us to use half of the table. The people sitting behind us were sitting with their backs up to our table. Some members of our party had to sit on the outer edge of the table and were constantly being hit by people in the standing room behind us. The table behind us had to crawl under their own table to get out to use the bathroom. We let our waitress know and she said she’d send a manager or security but that did not happen so we left at halftime. The wait staff was trying their best, but it was too packed for them to properly do their job. The food was also not good — the chips in our nachos were straight up burnt brown. I understand it was a busy night for bars across Chicago, but Broken Barrel had lost control of their bar. The wait for the bathroom was insane. The line wrapped around to their outdoor patio and looked to be at least 20-30 minutes. Would not return and upset that we wasted our time for the divisional game here.

I like the food but the bar is obnoxiously noisy and the service is ok
