I was asked once while reviewing another place how I could possibly dislike it , then challenged me…read moreto name another place that was better than his. FOUND IT !!!!!! I just walked in one day and I don't even live in the area. I was greeted by the co-owner and wife. She was so friendly and attentive. I found out the owner was a Vet and immediately I felt a kinship because Im one also. The atmosphere was so calm when I was there and the decorative aspects were better than most bars that you find in north Chicago. Did I mention the bloody mary station? You get the bloody mary ( or bloody maria) , then go soft or hard with the garnish. Imagine every combination you want and It's there. Love this place.

I loved the cider I ordered and I would go back just for that. We loved the other people we talked to there. The ambiance was incredible. The only outlier was the bartender seemed to be having an off night, she just wasn't super attentive with guests. But it wasn't so terrible that it tainted an otherwise great experience. I would definitely return to this place!

We also had front row seats to watch March madness, and more importantly the beer filling mechanism that fills glasses from the bottom! Kinda fun to watch. The bar also has purse hooks, which I am always grateful for. The food came out pretty quickly and was super fresh and delicious. The bartender was sooo sweet, very attentive and quick, and made sure my soda was always topped off. I loved the vibe and the moody lighting! The menu is definitely River North prices -- nothing terribly surprising bht on par for the neighborhood. At the time of our visit, cocktails were $15+ and the fry basket was $10. Again, not terrible but definitely paying to be in River North. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely worth it!

I haven't been out to a club in a long time so I was disappointed that I was still being searched at the age of 57 years old. What is wrong with black folks? Why can't we have a chill place like the WHITES! Looks like a prison visiting room with a bar in it and what the hell was with the old heads sitting together with their Prada bags sitting in front of them at the bar ? You read right, there were 4 or 5 older gentlemen sitting together and each of them had a mid-sized Prada shopping bag in front of them. Different looking guys, same bag. It was such a odd sight to behold. Again, it's been awhile since I've been out so I allowed my mind to come up with all kind of reasons for this. My mind ran to it must be the new mating call of the Sugar Daddy for the young women also sitting at the bar. Not a spot for me.

Last Tuesday I visited this location with my aunt and uncle. This is a place I frequent and…read moregenuinely enjoy. I travel all the way from Blue Island, Illinois because I appreciate the atmosphere, camaraderie, and overall ambiance here--it's by far my favorite location. Unfortunately, during this visit, the experience fell short. The bartender, Ariel, did not make us feel welcome. My uncle was overlooked when trying to order a drink, and my aunt was hungry but unable to get assistance. After waiting and feeling ignored, we decided to leave and go to another bar. That said, I've noticed the level of service here can be inconsistent depending on the day or staff. Some visits have been great, while others haven't met the same standard, which is disappointing given how much I enjoy this place. I truly want to continue supporting this location, but consistency in service would make a big difference. For now, I may limit my visits to Wednesdays, as those experiences have consistently been positive.

This was my first there.

It's missing in this batch. This is a very rare experience.
