This place was boring, service awful, and just plain a waste of time. Much better bars to go to in Chicago

My boyfriend dragged me here for the first time, and let me tell you, this will be the last. Ordered my burger medium well and it came out bloody. Waitress made a big deal about cooking the burger longer. Also, had a full water spilled on me without as much of an apology from the waitress, or THE OWNER, who was there this evening.

If this place doesn't get voted one of the best burgers, than something is wrong. Amazing that the kitchen is open until 1am! Reasonable priced cocktails, and a great looking, eclectic crowd. The owners are also always working the room, as well as the dustpan...Refreshing to see. This will become a neighborhood staple for a long time. Go there and just...RELAX

This is a stylish, great looking lounge, with employees that eschew the snobby attitudes that sometimes come with these places. One of the owners, Brian, chatted with us at length, and the coctail waitress was friendly and efficient. I loved that they played Arcade Fire while we were there, and Paul Natkin rock photographs line the walls. Drinks were generous and reasonably priced. A great addition to the neighborhood!

Wow, this place would have better off NEVER getting their liquor license. Bad service, expensive drinks, and a terrible location. No thanks!

I went in for the bar's first Friday night not sure what to expect - I was pleasantly surprised to find a classy, comfortably appointed lounge with great music and an overall vibe that says "relax." A good name for this place. My vodka martini was tasty too!

I've been waiting for this place to open ever since I've read about the "rockstar" party they threw back in February (which was either in Chicago Magazine or TimeOut). I was not disappointed when I attended the opening night festivities. The scene was a nice mix of good looking people and local neighborhood hipsters. The bartenders poured nice sized drinks and the waitress service was exactly what was needed in a crowded lounge/bar. In regard to the food, I'm a hamburger snob and put this one up with Boston Blackie's, Wollensky's Grill and Morton's. I think that John Manion's involvement with the bar has rubbed off on the food and it shows. I can't wait to go back now that its doors are open and I can rely on the drinks and food. My only knock on the place is that there is no outside seating...maybe they will eventually have it, but for now I'll sit inside and enjoy.
