Sala has been one of our favorite places for brunch and Happy Hour. The server we initially had…read moredidn't introduce herself when she came to our table and was rude for the beginning. She actually told my friend that she didn't like being "summoned" because we waved to her to let her know we needed something. I won't tolerate a rude server so I asked to speak to the manager and Chuck immediately came out and listened to me and said he would send over a new server right away. I appreciate that he was a wonderful listener and expressed his concern. Our new server was the bartender Monique and she was A+ and even an alumni of our high school. As always the bottomless mimosas that are available on Saturday are strong and flowing. The frozen Poloma was also amazing. All of the food was hot and delicious. The restaurant is always bright and cheery. I do recommend Sala!

I have been going to this bar for about 6 years now. Went to Ladies Night this Wednesday and I was…read morevery shocked to learn this place has security that only enforces the "rules" on black men only. My brother wasn't allowed to come in with a sleeveless shirt but there were white men allowed in with hoodies and flip flops on. I asked security why was the guy with the hoodie allowed in he said because it doesn't have a zipper it isn't considered a hoodie. I'm all for following rules but the rules put in place seem to be aimed towards the way black people dress and instead white people were dressed this way and still allowed in. I never thought this place would be one of those that try to keep black people away but my experience on Wednesday definitely showed this bar's true colors.

Bryan was our server and he was friendly and had great recommendations. I did the Reveillon which was 4 courses and I enjoyed it. The crab cake was my appetizer and it was my least favorite of the 4 courses. It wasn't bad but it was wowing. I really enjoyed the seafood boil bisque. The flavor was perfect and not overly spiced. My entree was the royal red shrimp pasta and it was good. I did have to add a dash of salt and pepper but the flavor was great with lots of fresh garlic. I finished with the chocolate bread pudding which was good but after the 1st 3 courses I couldn't finish. I hope more people check out this restaurant before we lose yet another restaurant in Lakeview. Ill be back to try the charbroiled oysters and seafood boil.

Walking in at 1:30 on a beautifully sunny Wed, we fully expected a wait. Instead, our two empty seats beckoned to us like a pretty girl winking at us across a bar in college. Marvin has been promoted to Beverage Manager. He left his bar in very good hands. The two young dudes carrying his torch were great. Very friendly and well aware each time we finished our drink and needed a reload. They're well-trained in the art of concocting the Sazerac we love. Sitting for 2 hours watching the regular turnover of the precious seats at the Carousel is still big fun. And having a friendly chat with the constant turnover of strangers sitting next to us is part of the unique charm of the Carousel Bar. As we were leaving Corey the bartender let us know management is shutting down next month for a few weeks for much needed repairs & renovations so the Carousel can add another 50-60 years to its legacy.

We tried…read moreto go another day but there were no available seats at the spinning carousel so we tried our luck the next day right when they opened. We got there at 10:55am and there was a little line. When the doors opened, Oddly enough, there was a party of 5 sitting inside already?!?? Our bartender W took a while to come get our drink order and took longer to get, one of us never even got our beer. I pointed at someone's drink and told W I wanted that, the martini special. How is he gonna make me the drink minus the Baileys?!? I pointed to the drink I wanted, simple. My bf ordered a Abita, guess what 45 mins passed and he NEVER got his beer. We asked for the check and W said "oh your beer". Bro just give us the check and take off the beer. Worst service I've ever experienced. How you going to forget about someone's drink who's sitting right in front of you drink-less plus make a drink wrong. The carousel sits about 25 people and there's 2 bartenders?!? This isn't a club where drinks are getting shouted out. The only thing they have going for them is the rotating carousel bar if the SD one didn't close, I'd say pass and go to that one instead. One and done for me. Good luck if you get W as your bartender! And sir, no I'm not coming back after the game for you to make it right, make it right the first time!

There is a large "L" shaped bar here that has quite a bit of seating and then a large central space which has plenty of tables and chairs. I sampled their interesting sounding "Bayou Black Burger" which has garlic and green onion mixed into the burger meat. It was a nasty rainy day with flooding when I visited so the cook wasn't able to get into work that day so the lady bartending was brave enough to try making my food for me and she did a good job at getting my burger prepared for me. Overall this is a very cool bar with a nice ambiance to it and it is probably the best bar in the Bucktown area.

I got a G & T Turbo to start and the server was confused about whether or not the gin was juniper forward. Food wise we started with the scotch egg and it was delicious. The sauce under the egg halves was the perfect pairing. We decided to split the fish and chips special and the steak and Guinness pie. The fish was cooked perfectly and I loved their tartar sauce. I skipped the mushy peas since I don't eat peas and the other side was fries which were quite salty. The steak and Guinness pie was good but it was salty as well. The decorations inside are quirky and they have some indoor heaters for when it's cold. I enjoyed seeing all of the fun paintings they had on the walls.

As implied, this is also a fuel dock, so lots of boats will drop in, making it fun to check those out or chat with those out enjoying the day. Staff is overall pretty friendly, catering to the regulars. We got a couple of appetizers that were good.

And we ordered the waffle fries - LOVE waffle fries, why have sticks when you can have number signs ##?! And we had the fried green beans - now this was quick a pleasant surprise.
