Ok, I've never given a joint 1 star before, but really this place sucks. I've been here a handful of times and I think I've been there my last time tonight. Oh where to begin.... my high school reunion was there....seriously?! Did I pay to get into that shit show? Hello no, we scored and got in for free. I've been here a couple times for drinks and dinner in the sports bar area. Their food sucks. The 1st time I ate there I can't even recall what I ate probably because it sucked so bad. Tonight I had the turkey bacon avocado cheese panini. A panini is a hot sandwich. Mine was barely toasted, cold in the inside and there was one mini piece of avocado was smaller than half the size of my thumb on each half. When I told the waiter, he said, "Oh yeah I know." Ok, great. I ordered 2 hurricanes. The first one tasted clearly like bacardi and the second clearly like a kiddie cocktail. The drinks should be consistent. There is no cocktail menu. If you are going to be a southern new orleans kinda place, throw a damn southern cocktail list together for Christ sake. Yes there is something here for everyone if you like a shit show. A clizub in the back, where only the finest of the southside's WT comes out to play and get shit faced dressed up like....don't even let me go there.
This place simply sucks. The only nice thing about this place is they do a lot of neighborhood benefits. That is it!
I'm old, officially, or at least I felt old while I was here and by old, I mean, I didnt want to drink Miller LIte or Coronas all night, I wanted me some 5 rabbit, bells two hearted, or some revolution! Â Damn, closest thing I got was 312 and blue moon, if you can call that close. Â Yes, I'm offically a beer snob which equals old...er. Â at least older than most people in the bar.
The bar itself was HUGE, four different rooms and all with their own personality but none that fit MY personality so I'll most likely avoid, unless I have a midlife crisis and decide to dress like an 18 year old and relive my days of Steel Reserve all over again.
The last several times I've come here there is one thing that's apparent...when it comes to management they need to take it up a few notches. Why isn't the Bulls game on ANY of your numerous TV's when it's already near the end of the 1st quarter. Who's in charge of that. I had to ask 3 people before it got turned on...on just one tv (they probably have 4 or more huge ones and 20 smaller)...then later on a 2nd was turned on that was HD so there was that 2-3 second delay between 2 huge tv's.....I thought this was Chicago. Â And why can't they have a wider selection of beer....absolutely no craft or micro-brews. Management should check what's the norm on the northside of Chicago as far as beer selection goes...Three Floyd's, Bell's, Dog Fish Head, etc. Â most all the hot spots have em but your entire wait staff doesn't know what a craft beer is.
And why are so many tables reserved for parties??? nearly 75% had reserved signs on them. They were all still empty an hour after we showed up...so the customers that were already there were forced to sit in never never land. Our waitress was a bright spot, so no complaint there...the food was pretty good...but whoever is in charge there really needs to step it up....if you're gonna charge us to park our car, then why not make us feel like it was worth it.
