Yeah, you are asked for 2 forms of ID and may even get frisked to get in but isn't that for your own good?! I'd rather know I'm in a place they don't let in gangs and I'll be safe. You don't complain about beeing frisked at the airport.

Greeted us when we walked in the door and engaged in very pleasant conversation. Left with a much better mindset and will be returning for some food. Bartender suggested Thursday's are an excellent pork chop special and Friday's are steak days. PS, the door handle is metal and bakes in the sun, be prepared and don't grab it bare-handed *LOL*

We didn't try any food but we heard a lot of great things, so that's our goal next visit. Being able to pick the music was great and they had a TV on as well. The prices were so cheap that we felt bad by the end of the night. Lots of nearby street parking also made it easy on a cold night.

What I mean is they appear to be Buchowsky yet have nothing to offer except their stink, foul disposition and an inability to sneeze without covering their mouth. I did not hear one chuckle unaccompanied by hacking in my 45 minute stay. Not a total loss, the service was pleasant which to me was a miracle considering the belligerent attitudes from the clientelle. There is a smell, the kind of smell when you are an alky you get used too. Maybe I am not a drunk because the thought of stepping into this dump again makes me squeamish. There are plenty of bars in walking distance, yet only a few are as dilapidated as this one, but even with a fresh coat of paint, some dental work and new lighting, you couldn't cover up the hopelessness.

Food is good. Unfortunately when we visited, there was a serious safety issue, namely an…read moreintoxicated individual who assaulted numerous people. The place has bands now and gets packed, so there were children and older people there for a show ( Friday 6/26/26). It took over an hour to physically remove him from the bar, and police ( Chicago) only showed up after many calls from many patrons, only to make sure this person leaves the parking lot. Bar did not press charges or bar the person,and owner tried to dismiss the issue, despite many angry patrons who were punched, pushed and showed and had to scurry away.As a woman, I find this unacceptable. Yes, bars have fights . Also, bars ensure safety by hiring security, or scanning IDs, AND pressing charges when cameras show the crime. It's a shame our group of 6 will not come back there since they cater to drunk Polish crowd.

The store has this mystique of an old candy store that was converted into a bar. The actual bar is sturdy wood with some designs that'll knock your knees if you are not careful. The bartender was amazing, slanging drinks and keeping up the conversations. She was a bartender that would listen to you as you drain your heart over a gin-n-tonic and next put some yackmo Polack back in his place. She makes the gin and tonics strong at a moderate price. 3.50 per. The folks in here are locals; coming in for other patrons birthdays and the like. If you're there long enough, mind your business or have some eye candy with you, they'll buy you a round which ain't that bad- though, it was Hypnotiq, you don't complain. They have an internet jukebox that'll gouge your wallet if you're not careful. Fantastic bar. Just keep quiet during Nascar talks.
