The Belmont Lounge

We popped in here around 7pm (?) when we had a 40 minute wait for House of Sushi couple doors down.  Very clean, comfortable, booths on one side, bar running alongside the other.  Great find!  Very laid-back vibe, the bartender came over to our booth, was very attentive and friendly, happily went over the beers on tap.   We got through a couple of drinks each before getting called by the restaurant, and we were all feelin' real good.

The music was kinda too loud, we had to scream at each other, but it's a bar, after all.

This place was amazingly empty foe the last bears game of the season.   I randomly picked this place to watch the last Bears game of the season(with a few friends).  There was only one othetlr group in this place...and a few regulars.   But we had a good time watchin the game.  The employees were more than accommodating when they put the colts on for my buddy.   So we haf both games on with plenty of TV's to watch them on.   The place doesnt have its own menu but u can order food from a place that is next door(fizz).   I wasnt sure how this worked at first..but they give u a Fizz menu, u order, and they bring the food to your table.  The food was actually pretty good.  We had burgers and a large pizza with sausage and tomato.   One could also spring for the pullef pork buffet but that was only available after halftime.  We were super hungry so didnt wait for that.

All in all...the staff was friendly. The food was good. Plenty of TV's.
  4 stars.  I will return

Ok, $2 PBR and $4 Jameson everyday, per the specials board.  We had the best, best waitress last night...and my friend and I basically spent the night raving how friendly everyone was here.  Love.
