Pretty sure I got slipped some sort of date rape drug at this establishment. My boyfriend and I both ordered 2 Coronas after a Cubs game and one shot (ordered all at once because the line was crazy long). Grabbed a couple limes from the bar. I'm guessing that was what was tainted, because both of us ended up blacking out/passing out on the bus ride home. Pretty sure that doesn't typically happen after a couple of beers. Staying the hell away from this place!
Review Source:To whom it may concern:
While you are "closed for renovations", could you please address the following issues:
- $9 well vodka on a Tuesday night that is not a game day is UNACCEPTABLE.
- Your bartenders have serious attitude problems and serious problems drinking on the job.
- You list Kobe beef sliders on your menu. This a lie and it makes you look stupid.
Also, please be sure to continue $1 domestic bottles on Thursdays when you do re-open. This was your one saving grace. Even though it takes the bitchy drunk bartenders forever to get your beers, at $1/pop you can just double fist-it. And then you get to partake in the random dance party that usually commences on the back dance floor. Those nights were fun.
In regards,
Me
We're here for a bachelor party and our big group was split between two tables. The waitress goes to the other table first and gets their order. Then she comes to ours.
Me: "Did they order food?"
Her: "Yes...do you want a minute?"
Me: "Yeah."
Uh, I didn't know "a minute" meant "twenty minutes". I saw her milling around, taking care of other tables. Finally we had to stop her ourselves.
And you know how usually, you get like...forks? And napkins? Not here!
Or refills on water? Nope!
I don't know what her issue was but I'm definitely not going to come back to find out. Especially after spending far too long watching middle aged men dance to 80s rock songs with college girls.
I really like the doormen here. Â I'm serious. Â They're cool and chill and make funny observations.
Casey Moran's is one of the better Hell on Earth (aka Wrigleyville) options out there. Â Every time I've been, I've had no problems getting a drink and the people are low key. Â Crowd is late 20s - 30s which may explain it. Â Bartenders and waitresses are attentive. Â Last night someone puked on the stairs. Â It was cleaned up in less than 3 minutes. Â Seems someone had too many $1 Thursday beers.
In my head, I sometimes call this place "Casey Morons." Â Don't lie, I'm sure you've done it too.
I'm giving this place two stars because I actually did not have a terrible time here last night (that could be because of the company I was keeping though). Anyway, that's the only reason I'm not giving it an entirely poor review.
Our server was mediocre at best, and the bar wasn't even busy-- it was early-- like 6:30 or something. Anyway, she asks us for a card to start a tab. Not a problem. I'm a server myself, I get it. Having a nice time, drinks, trivia, blah blah blah... 1am rolls around and I have to go home now to be a functioning member of society in the morning, so we ask for our tab. WITHOUT EVEN ASKING ME, she runs my credit card for the $75 bill. I did not see the bill first, and it included all five of our drinks on it. I'm currently in the process of moving banks, and that card didn't have $75 on it! Now I'm sitting in the bar transferring money between accounts to cover fees and whatnot.
Obviously she had no way of knowing this, and I clearly was not anticipating spending $75, but I have never in my life asked for a BILL and received a RECEIPT. And on the flip, as a server, I would never dream of running someone's credit card without a) showing them the bill, and b) asking if they wanted it on the card.
Take a hint, guys. That's not the way to run a business.
Redemption. I thought I wouldn't return but, wanted to try once more. After sitting down a server asked to take our drink order. We ordered drinks and food from fear at last adventure here. Shortly after our real server arrived to check on us - wow so far huh? Drinks and food arrived quickly. I got the Chonga burger and wife got Swiss mushroom burger. Good food, good service and Casey Moran's have redeemed themselves.
Review Source:I stumble in here after countless Cubs games... and most of the time I have an okay time. Nothing great here...nothing terrible either.
The good.
$1 domestic bottles on Thursdays. Yup, you heard it, a buck.
Good service (most of the time)
The bad.
The trivia girl (Trivia on Thursdays!) SUCKS! Hollllllllly crap, I hope that when I was here for trivia she was just having terrible day. Not only is she bad but she also has a nasty attitude. I'd also like to add that she was 45 minutes late, which means that trivia started close to 9 and didn't end till after midnight.
The bathrooms are TINY! Nothing ya can do about that though.
Synopsis:
The staff is friendly and the decor is nice, but the service is horrible. Â I would not go there again, especially when there are many other options available and likely with better service.
The Nitty Gritty:
The soda was flat. Â Friend #1's Sprite had to be sent back because it tasted like day-old lime-flavored seltzer water. Â The food was "okay". Â On more than one occasion, the runners kept trying to serve us food that patrons at another table had ordered. Â They totally forgot Friend #1's crispy chicken wrap and had to make it at the last minute, and they forgot that she had ordered it sans tomato. Â (Oh, and the wraps are mostly lettuce) Â I ordered the California chicken wrap. Â Again, it was just "okay". Â I could have made something tastier at home, and I wouldn't have forgotten the chips that were supposed to accompany the wrap. Â Yes, they forgot the chips, too, so we had to remind them.
The steak fries are not steak fries. Â I said to Friend #2, "Maybe they're 'skirt steak' fries." Â They were so skinny like McDonald's fries. Â Her cheeseburger looked pretty good, though.
They did take Friend #1's meal off the bill since they forgot to make it initially. Â Yes, to be fair, I have to account for that.
We went on a slow night. Â There were probably a maximum of 10 patrons. Â I'm not sure how they survive on busy nights, but my guess is that if they're really busy, most of the patrons are drunk enough not to care that the food service is bad, as long as the alcohol keeps flowing.
Everything was so disorganized at Moran's. Â The only reason this place is still around is because it's near Wrigley Field. Â I think the Cubs are more on top of their game than the staff are at this place.
Headline: Rude bartender, no way of submitting feedback, won't likely return.
I've been meaning to write this review for about a year. Last spring I visited Casey Moran's with some friends on a weekday night. The place was totally dead, but we were just there to hang out for a bit so it was fine.
I went over to the bar to order some drinks. I walked right up to where the only bartender was chatting with a what seemed to be a friend of hers. She didn't even acknowledge my presence and clearly wanted me to leave. I waited several awkward minutes and finally she turned to me and rudely asked me what I wanted. I placed my drink order and walked away with my overpriced beverages.
There's nothing I hate more than bad customer service. I'm there to spend a lot of money on some shitty drinks, the very least this service industry professional could do was to acknowledge me in a friendly way and ask me to hang on a second--no big deal. Instead I get the cold shoulder, and she turned a potential returning customer into a negative Yelp review. See how this works?
What made this worse was that there was no email address (and there still isn't) on their website to submit feedback. I don't tolerate rude people at places where I'm voluntarily spending my hard earned money. Feedback is good for any business; Casey Moran's should be happy to receive feedback about their poor performing employees, but once again here I am forced to gripe about it on Yelp. Get a clue.
It's probably a shock to most people I know that I've even darkened the doors of this place, as I'm rarely in this area, and that's not by chance. Â
A friend of mine had her birthday party here, which I found out was due to her winning a 2 hr open bar package in a silent auction. Â The second star is for the donation to a worthy cause. Â That and the house red included in the open bar was actually fairly decent. Â
The atmosphere is just not my bag, 40 yr old men who still yearn for their frat days are just sad. Â One of the bartenders was not particularly friendly, and they bill the "open bar" package as "open bar" but really it's 3 watered down, shitty light beers and house wines. Â Not even well drinks or decent beers. Â Also, before the designated end time for the party, the karaoke setup guys were getting pretty crankypants with our group. Â
Friendship is: Â going to this kind of bar for a birthday, when you'd rather poke yourself in the eye
I tried to come here for their $5 fried chicken special over the summer. I was dumb and came on a game day. GOD was I disappointed. So I ended up getting soggy bbq chicken pizza and my friend got a pork slider that she kind of liked.
It's not so bad if you sit outside and enjoy listening to the loud sobbing from cubs fans. Actually I had a pretty good time that night.
One word. Terrible.
I ordered the nachos and it was like they slapped italian marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese on top of tortilla chips. I mean come on, it is virtually impossible to screw up cheese nachos. I couldn't eat them and thankfully accordingly, they did not charge me for them. Our server agreed, they are gross.
We got to play 'Guess how old I am'
Some guy walks up to our table "bet you can't guess how old I am".
We give each other the "really?" look.
Lucky for him, alcohol makes us nice and this allowed us to humor him.
The guesses: "37, 31, 30"
Random dude pulls out his license. He's 23 (jeez hard life?).
Cute. now what?
After another 20 minutes of baby jokes he retreated back to his infant friends and allowed us to resume our girls night.
Having this info won't help you decide one bit if you want to go to Casey Moran's but it's an example of the random encounters you might have.
Overall, a pretty large bar with decent drinks, they play music you might know the words to and people aren't shy about dancing (some should be). Staff that is use to dealing with drunken jerks usually treat everyone else like that too but I must say I was impressed by our waitress, the bartender and even the bouncer (even though he didn't laugh at my joke).
Drop in, don't be shy. I even saw a Sox fan proudly wearing his hat and not being shunned. I gave him the old "hey i'm with you but don't tell anyone in this place" nod and sipped my drink to our little secret :)
Hey Buckeye Fans:
Was Zigs your place to be at OSU? Then you'll fit right in here. No, that's not a compliment.
Between the overserved D-bags, the overpriced beers and minor sexual assult that happened to me on the stairs going down to the bathroom, I avoid this place like, well, a M!ch!g@n bar.
Ugh. I hate this place.
I checked this place out yesterday and it was flat out horrible. The service was atrocious. The bar was virtually empty except for our group and the two bartenders stood at the opposite end of the bar and acted irritated when anyone wanted a drink.
When there are so many bars in Wrigleyville, nearly all being clones of each other, there is no reason to settle for something like this.
First of all, I'm only going into Casey Moran's during the season, if the better option next door has run its course for the day, if there's no line or a short line (less than 10 people) or if it's too hot out to hang next door (Casey's has AC, while you'll swelter at Bernie's). Â You will not find me in here otherwise, and for good reason.
If you do happen to come here during the season, you'll be greeted by cool air and a dark interior. Â The coolness is always nice since I'm undoubtedly burned to a crisp by this point. Â The beer garden is the place to be if it's not too hot out. Â The problem with staying inside is that they don't ever have the lights on and all the light bleaches out your view such that you can't see anything unless you're right by the window. Â That might be pre-meditated considering some of the behavior in this place. Â People will also dance here when it's not night. Â That's just weird. Â
The crowd here is raucous and all ages. Â The result of the game that day does not matter to a lot of the people in attendance. Â Shock. Â You'll meet plenty of locals as well as out-of-towners and supporters of the other club in town. Â
I have to discuss the bathroom. Â Why, oh why, did you install urinals that literally have the very bottom part 3 1/2 feet from the ground? Â Did Manute Bol's personal carpenter install these things? Â You literally have to pee uphill here, and as such your bits are basically on full display. Â Gross. Â And on opening day 2009, in the late afternoon/early evening it smelled like death. Â That smell won't leave me.
Casey's is good in a pinch during the season, especially if it's sweltering outside. Â I'd recommend you check out Bernie's first. Â Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do though. Â That's Casey's.
So torn what to rate this place. Â This is the most Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde bar in the 'Ville, and I kid you not.
Cubs season when we are losing, if it's june July, or August, you can't get a ticket, or it is too cold to go to the game? Casey Moran's is a 5 star experience. Sometimes you even leave a game in the 6th inning just to get here the place is so tight and you don't feel guilty about it.
Cubs season when they are winning and make the playoffs?
1 Star. Â They jack up the prices and charge asinine covers simply because they KNOW they have a good product. This ticks me off, and is a kick in the face to us locals who frequent the place regardless. Rest assured they'll pay for this nonsense in the afterlife.
Bears games/NFL Sunday? 5 Star
Ohio State Games? 1 Star. Â I wanna tear gas that place on some random Autumn Saturday. All the imported hilljacks of Ohio make this place unbearable! " We got the best steroids in D1 football and our players get paid before the NFL. Goooooo Buckz! " Â Sigh......
Anyway, you get the point.....
At it's best, nothing can stop Casey's. Â The food is good, music is current with a sprinkle of old school, and talent is amongst the tops in the city. Â How they do it and do it so consistently is beyond me, and this is why they feel justified gouging us come October when our beloved Cubbies are getting swept by whatever NL West finesse team comes in to embarrass us. Â The drunk factor is off the charts at this place in season too, so be aware of that if this place is something new to you.
Now? It's the dead of winter. Pretty dead, I stopped in to grab a sandwich after work today.  And at times such as these, it's actually a  good thing.  As I slowly enjoyed my lunch I found myself starting to daydream about the upcoming Summer.  That's all good for now, and I enjoyed the serenity while I had it.
In closing, you'll either love or hate this schitzo joint, all depending on the circumstance. Â Don't say I didn't warn you.
We all have our "go to" places after games at Wrigley. Casey Moran's is always at the top of my suggestion list as it does a good job of handling all the "types" that pour into the place, and the service is consistently good, friendly, and quick.
While I hate to wait in line to get in any place, the one here moves along quickly as this place is huge. There are several levels (including a nice rooftop) but I like to go to the atrium area in the center. During inclement weather- the roof is on but you still feel like you are outside. But on those days that they roll the roof off- you feel like you are still outside at the park as you drink your beer or eat your food.
Speaking of food- I've only ever had "snacks" here (quesadillas, nachos tater tots, etc) but they've all been good- that perfect food for game day.
There are plenty of bars in this place (I counted 5 but that was after the game and a few beers so don't hold me to it! Ha!) so getting a drink is a breeze even when the after game crowd infiltrates the place. Another benefit to multiple bars? If someone in the crowd is annoying (and that usually happens)- you just move to another bar. Easy solution.
Don't have tickets but want to watch the game anyway? There have to be at least 25 large TV's in this place so it's pretty hard to miss any of the action!
Careful on the trip to the restroom- it's down some steep stairs and while I've never seen it- I bet there has been many a "head dive" going on there. The women's restroom has an attendant- which, while I don't usually like them- it's great here, as anyone can attest to who has been in a Wrigleyville bar after a game and can't find any toilet paper to save your life. This place is CLEAN and that is no small feat given the volume that they do on game days!
Bars in Wrigleyville are not on my destination list unless I'm at a game. But it's great to know when I want to re-live the drama of the game with my friends over a cold one- that Casey Moran's is there beckoning to me. And I answer that beckon with a visit that reminds me again why I like this place so much.
Wow. Â To say the bartender who served us was a little dumb would be the understatement of the century.
Not only did she manage to put in ALL of our food incorrectly and gave me a rocks glass full of ice for my Magner's, but she also USED OUR CREDIT CARD TO CHARGE SOMEONE ELSE'S TAB. Â And then she didn't even give them our card, she just charged their tab to it. Â We are currently working it out with the bank, but I am PISSED.
Shady, stupid bartender. Â Maybe she should concentrate more on not being a moron than on continually adjusting her short, sequined so-five-years ago skirt.
OH, HELL NO.
Somehow I've ended up at this bar more than once at the end of the night. Â Not sure how this has happened. Â Hanging out here is like being at every frat party I never attended during college. Â Except with expensive drinks. Â Oh, and a ladies' room attendant. Â Give me a break.
Maybe it's a decent place to chill during the daytime and watch a game. Â But after, say, 11 -- beware.
Pretty sweet spot in Wrigleyville to hit up. I like this place because of the very clean interior. Big space and doesn't look like mose Wrigleyville bars on the inside.
Flat screen televisions in tact just like most bars and the wait staff is pretty cool. The have a pretty nice downstairs area, where you will find the bathroom. Once you are drunk, it will seem like a maze to you! I like the fact that the bouncers look and act like secret service agents.
I have been here three times and never knew they had a rooftop patio. Guess who will be frequenting this place after Cubs game from now on.....
Imagine the prototypical sports bar, you're here.
Forty years from now, I would expect Casey Moran to still be churning out a profit unless whatever company owns it decides to sell it. The name might change, but the set up probably won't change a bit. Casey Moran's is huge, during the summertime it might be the best spot around all of Wrigleyville given all of the people that come here.
I've gone here and never had to wait too long for a drink because the staff is above average. Â Food here's aight, they have more beers than a dive but less beers than say Hopleaf or Map Room. Â The only thing I'd watch out for is the occasional flat beer. Casey Moran's is more expensive than a dive but it won't run your wallet through, it's the prototypical sports bar, after all.
I love the interior of this bar. Â I'd like to mention that I visited this bar during the off-season, and it was the night of the T-box bar crawl (AKA--drunks everywhere!).
I came here for one of those $35 all you can drink parties. Â I had great service the whole night, and the drinks tasted A-OK to me. Â
Why 3 stars? Â I found it to be kinda jerky for the establishment to charge two people I was with the FULL 35 dollars, even though they were not drinking. Â One was pregnant, and the other "thinks" she's pregnant. Â ADA would not approve!
I was blinded by the flashing lights and I expected some major techno music blaring from the sound system - either that or I was stupidly drunk that I couldn't tell the difference between my nose and my index finger.
It's a saloon style bar with a section in the back for dancing and another section with high tables.
I had a jager bomb and an Irish car bomb here and sadly, I was still standing on top of the 4 gin and tonics I previously had at another establishment.
Either I have a stomach of a 21 year old boy OR the jager bomb and Irish Car bombs were weak. Â I take the latter.
But not to diss the bartender, the service was courteous and efficient. I was sitting at one of the tables and as soon as I finished my drink, a waitress came by and asked if I wanted another one. Â GREAT SERVICE.
I have to come back and do another taste test with the Irish car bombs. Â I can't just judge it with one shot.
After my first 2 months of living here, I started avoiding Wrigleyville like doing work on a Friday night . Â Anyhow, I'm not gonna lie and say I met awesome non-fratty, douchey people at Casey Moran's last night, but I went with my own group of friends, and it was not a terribly painful experience (like perhaps john barley corns- the plague). Â
I really like the bar in general, it's huge. Â We went there to watch the OSU game (since they claim to be Chicago's "nuthouse"), and it was packed with lots of red jerseys. Â Luckily since the bar's so big, we found a nice little lounge to watch the game at upstairs. Â Also, both bartenders that I dealt with were extremely nice (that's definitely a plus, especially when they were so busy). Â If the bar wasn't in the heart of my least favorite going out neighborhood, I would definitely boost them up a star. Â Not too bad.
Easily the fakest bar in Chicago - unless you're 22years old or 40 going on 18 avoid this place like the plague after Cubs game.Its like a frat reunion meets the Girls Gone Wild crew. Its Hi-tops for 20 year olds.These aren't compliments, people!
The good part...the security staff is relatively cool...but they easily turn into your enemy once you freak out that Casey's has decided to charge $7 a beer on game days! seriously??? there is a recession, bitches!
That alone should keep you far far away from this place....unless you like paying whatever for beer and love drunk people who yell "Go Cubs" every 3 minutes!
I was brought here after the Cubs/Brewers game yesterday and we had a pretty good time. Granted, I was working a promo (shamless plug, but here it is: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fchicagodealcard.com&s=acc9ef7070ecc7f49d86c962f52a7995f9bdba00fb0779802f4c7c140374e34b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://chicagodealcard.c…</a>), so I had to be nice and talk to a variety of people. The staff here was really friendly, most of the clientele were genuine people, and I like the mix of indoor/outdoor environments.
We were starving and left the game before it ended to beat the crowd (BAD move - I would have loved to see that 12th inning!). I ordered the spinach salad with vinaigrette and asked if I could add avocado to it. The waitress very nicely obliged and took my friend's burger order. She was able to remember our special requests without writing anything down - which for some reason made me respect her more. Â The food arrived promptly, and everything in my salad was fresh and wonderful. Nothing better than a crisp, lovely spinach salad with perfectly ripe avocado and a soft boiled egg sliced around the edges. My friend's burger was huge and juicy. He informed me that on non-game Thursday's that same humongous burger goes for $1. Â ??!!
I'd say to give this place a try. Some after-game leering men might scare a few good girls away, but maybe on a non-game day you'll find a different story.
You wouldn't catch me here on an OSU game day, too many wasted people. Â One Star
Sometimes it's fun to come here after a Cubs game if you can find a table. Â Three Stars
Last time I went there was an awful smell...I think someone pooed their pants. Â One star!
The reason I gave this place 4 stars is because they did such an awesome job on my work Christmas Party. Â I was in charge of planning this party and every place I talked to wanted to charge $25-30 a person for food only. Â I called Casey Morans and they put together a great spread of food (mini burgers, chicken fingers, chips and salsa, veggie tray and more) for only $9 per person, and I had them add $2 for tip, and it was an even $11 per person! Â The best part was, I didn't have to collect any money (everyone paid at the door)! Â We paid for drinks as we went and had a great time. Â
Very stress free  party planning!
Oh holy bit*h bartenders! I'm sorry ladies, but c'mon!! SEriously?!! I've been a bartender, and there is no reason for such attitude! I think there was one bartender who was actually working! She looked exhausted while her coworkers were adjusting their cleavage, applying lip gloss,checking their cell phones, dancing, hair flipping, and kissing random guys across the bar, which FINE if nobody wants a drink! I'm sure that some of the males in the bar loved the show, but most of the people standing at the bar were annoyed to all HELL!! Note to management: you NEED to hire some male bartenders so some of your customers actually get served! There is NO reason to have to wait 30 minutes for a drink!
If you can get past the fact that you may not get a drink, this bar looks classy and has a lot of space. There is a dance floor, that can get bumpin. The clientele are your typical Wrigley bar crawlers. I'm so annoyed with the service right now that I'm not sure that I will go back unless I'm already buzzin. I would also recommend that you purchase multiple drinks at once due to the POOR service!! Oh and be prepared to pay $10 or more for a mixed drink.
Way over priced! Â $6.00 for a Miller Lite? Â I remember the first time i was here, i got there around 5 on a NON Cubs game day. Â My Miller Lite was $4.00 which i could deal with. Â Then as the night went on, and I didn't notice it till later until we closed are tab and i was paying cash, but they changed their price on Miller Lites from $4-$6! Â WTF! Â It was a Saturday but that is crazy! Â
Then then kids from Schaumburg roll in, the guys all dressed the same, the girls dressed to kill. Â This isn't downtown guys! Â The men's bathroom line was......way down this basement hallway! Â
If you like loud music, young drunk punks......it may be your scene. Â It's a good bar before 8pm to watch games and eat but afterwards......be prepared for the suburban invasion of frat boys and sorority girls!
I'm a Buckeye 'til I die, so I like having somewhere to watch Ohio State games. Casey Moran's is right in the neighborhood, and I've started collecting those big red plastic mugs.
Standard Wrigleyville beer and food selection here. The Nach-O-HI-O's are pretty tasty. The burgers are solid pub burgers. Most times I've come in, I've had awesome servers who were attentive and friendly and loved the Buckeyes, and only once have I had a server who was nowhere to be found when my giant Ohio State mug was empty.
When football season comes around, it sure is nice to know that there's a bar full of people wearing scarlet and grey.
Update: I'm adding a star because the people at Casey Moran's were really great last weekend in a way that had nothing to do with Ohio State. Brandon C and I were trying to find a bar that would change one (just one!) tv to FSN Detroit so we could watch a college hockey final between M*ch*g*n and Miami of Ohio. Several bars had turned us down, because who would put hockey on during March Madness? Lucky for us, the manager at Casey Moran's was more than happy to change a tv over to hockey, and judging by the small crowd that formed around the tv, we weren't the only ones who wanted to see that game. Extra bonus? Our waitress was a hockey fan. As if we needed another reason to make this our favorite OSU bar.
O-H!
I waited 24 hours to post this review. Â Okay, well, more like 18, but long enough to realize that my disdain for this place is justified. Â A few friends and I met up here yesterday to enjoy the weather, the day off, and the Cubs game. Â
I didn't go in here with high expectations. Â I mean, Wrigleyville is Wrigleyville. Â The prices are always way too high, the servers are hit or miss, and the food is generic. Â Casey Moran's certainly disappoint with any of those. Â But where it completely and utterly failed was in its service.
At the end of a lackluster 3 hours at the bar, we started looking around for our server to pay the bill. Â 5 minutes pass and we don't see the server anywhere. Â I look around the beer garden. Â I look into the main room. Â And I certainly glanced outside the bar. Â Still no server.
So I walk up to the bar tender. Â Here is our dialogue:
Me: Â "Yeah, so with the Cubs playing this bad, we're looking to get out of here, can you ..."
Bartender: "I can't help you, you have to talk to your server."
Me: "Okay, I'm not asking you to help me but can you just let our server know that we are looking for her."
Bartender: "The computer is right there" [Pointing and definitely acting the snot].
At which point I walk away. Â I probably muttered an obscenity or two under my breath. Â I was definitely in the wrong on that front, but if I wanted to experience the service of the Wiener Circle, then I would have gone to the Wiener Circle. Â I don't expect some waifish, poorly dyed blond to be acting that role with me at 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon. Â When our server came over another 5 minutes later, and after watching the bartender bad mouth me (I can see you and I can read lips, lady), she was just as lippy. Â Talking about other tables, etc. Â I'm all for extra tables and all that, but we didn't see you for over 10 minutes. Â I'm not buying that you were that busy -- especially when the bar was almost empty.
If this place has any redeeming qualities it is its busboys. Â Those guys were damn good. Â Clearing glasses like it was going out of style and wiping down our tables numerous times. Â
While I will never go back to this place again, I can't justify giving it one star. Â The busboys are actually that good and, well, their food isn't that bad. Â But if you want snotty service, then, by all means, head here. Â If you want a bartender or server who actually buys into the idea of customer service, then avoid this place like the plague -- because I know I will be.
Okay, seriously. Â Was there some sort of secret neighborhood meeting that stated that all bars within a 3 block radius of Wrigley Field have to be pretty much carbon copies of each other?
This bar is a blur in the same muddy vein as Barleycorn, Moe's, Central, blahblahblah just down the street.
My friend was shoved by some d-bag who decided he was going to start "leaning back! i'm leaning back!" on his chair. Â When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "I'm leaning back!" Â I said, "You're shoving my friend." Â He said, "So? Â I'm leaning back!" Â Yeah ... d-bag.
I was a victim of a drive-by pelvic thrust. Â This guy walked behind me, stopped for a moment directly behind me, & thrust his pelvis into my backside. Â Yeah ... classy.
& we were both amazed at the audacity of one group of lovely gentlemen of the highest caliber who, in what looked to be some sort of conga line, elbowed & stumbled their way past, spilling drinks & stepping on feet. Â After doing so, they stopped to ask, "Y'coming with us?!" Â Um ... no.
Fun for maybe a half hour. Â After that, eh.
Definitely not my first choice in Wrigleyville but I was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't cheek-to-cheek in here on Sunday. Â If you choose wisely, you will make your way out to the beer garden because it's pretty sweet. Â There was a "reserved table" for a bunch of chicks which I thought was lame but sometimes lame is unavoidable in this neck of the woods.
A bottle of Budweiser will set you back $5. Â Pricey but again, it's Wrigleyville. Â At least here you avoid unnecessary "unz, unz" music and lots-o-flesh (if that's your bag, Hi-Tops is waiting for you with open arms).
I like Casey Moran's. Â I like the look of the interior...dark wood and tin ceilings. Â I like the D.J.'s. Â They are always playing fun music. Â It's pretty decent for a Wrigleyville bar. Â I never feel like I'm being overrun by Cubs fans, even after a game. Â
The things that I don't like...bathrooms downstairs, which become harder and harder to navigate the more you drink, and sticky floors from all the spilled drinks.
