    Fun little watering hole in the captiol district. If you're heading there before a concert, plan…read moreaccordingly! It can be busier than say a normal weekeday night. They serve a large variety of drinks and beers on tap. It has a large spacious interior and great outdoor patio. It's a nice stop on your way to CHI.

We were doing a pub crawl and had a drink at each of the Capitol District bars. I think Annie's would rank probably in the middle somewhere of the places we tried. The ambiance is like a "hole in the wall" style pub with concrete floors and booths like you'd find in Dublin. There's an area at the back with leather chairs, dart boards, and a few board games. I'm not sure if it gets pretty busy at times, but we were the only group of people there when we went, and it seemed rather large and empty. The bartender was a little snippety, but I wasn't sure if this was part of the "schtick" or not, because she wasn't mean or rude, just a little short and hurrying us up to order (humming the Jeopardy theme song when someone was looking at the menu to decide). I took it as funny, so not mad about it or anything. I liked the vibe of the place feeling like you're in Ireland almost, but the cost is a bit expensive for the tiny beer sizes you get. Also you would think for trying to be an Irish pub type theme, they'd serve drinks in real pint glasses, but I got a tiny 12oz or so plastic cup of beer for $5. There are some good things about Annie's, but I think I prefer a few other places in The Capitol District, like Let it Fly or Roxxy.

    My better half and I stopped into Let It Fly, and honestly... the experience never got off the…read moreground. I ordered a martini, she grabbed fried pickles and a Mango Madness, and from the moment we walked in the customer service was rough. The first server barely acknowledged us, and everything after that followed the same half‑effort energy. The martini they brought out was straight gin (not dirty, not balanced), just... gin in a glass. I asked if it could be remade, and the server said sure, then never brought it back. My wife ordered a second drink and yep... they forgot that too. To be fair, the fried pickles were good, but that was the only thing that hit. Maybe it was an off day, but between the missed drinks, the lack of attention, and the overall "we don't really care" vibe, we probably won't be back.

    I've visited twice now and both times I wasn't super impressed. The food is good. The sweet potato…read morefries are great! Service was meh. We were one of at most 8 tables on a Saturday. When we ordered the waitress specifically asked if we wanted ranch my husband and I both said yes along with another person on our party. Only one of us got ranch when we asked for it for the two that didn't get it we got one. But seemed like we were an Inconvenience for asking. When it was time for the bill she didn't ask if it was going to be split or paid all together. She had the first group pay their portion then came to the other side of the table and told us the remaining balance. Instead of again asking if it will be split of paid in full. When we asked to split she made a comment about how was she supposed to know. Which I agree but she never even asked. My real issue is no changing table or space in the bathroom? You have high chairs but not a place for the kids to be changed. I'd think for such a new place that would have been a given.
