The waitress was slow and distracted- my dining companion thought she was stoned. The food came out cold. Our beer glasses were empty for ten minutes without the waitress coming by. We ended up leaving without paying after sending our food back. I've never done that before or since. This was absolutely terrible.
Review Source:I'm coming in at about 2.5 stars. Â Yeah, we really wanted to like Clutch. And we kinda sorta do, but not really enough to make it a good nearby home default option. I even told them I wouldn't write a review but now I'm wondering if I did them a disservice by saying that. Â Not that my opinion is The Word, but maybe they'll start to think about some stuff before it's too late, especially since I'm not the only one with a smaller star rating.
We went a couple of times and I dunno, I just don't think we'll be back. The staff was nice. Probably because they're all new or new enough.
I dunno....Here's where things fall apart:
Food does take a long time (it even says on the menu that it will which sends up a red flag to me), it arrived lukewarm to cold after taking so long, and it's really pretty pricey. I get that ingredients are costly, running a restaurant/bar is costly, but $15 for a small so-so burger cooked to dried out well despite asking for medium is harsh. Â One burger shouldn't cover the cost of the ingredients for the next 10 burgers or to cover any potential loss going on due to paper tickets.
Beverages are very pricey. Â Not sit and linger kind of pricing.
Decor. Â While it's interesting and there's a lot to look at, there's something not quite right going on. Â It feels sterile plus it has too many themes. Â Maybe it's the lighting, I dunno. Â Props for all the artwork though. Â Oh and yes, the bathrooms are NSF kids at all. Â Like, not at all.
We kept hearing the staff say "we're out of this" or "we're out of that" to customers. Â One woman asked for at least 6 different things, all of which were not available. Â Or no one knew what was in the specialty drinks and had to read the menu to make one. Â One night we showed up and the cook had quit so we couldn't get food. Â Yes, they only have one person in the kitchen at a time.
Our own personal issue: Â we didn't enjoy the clientele. Â Every single guy was hitting on the staff in kind of a gross, dumb caveman sort of way. Â
On the plus side, I'm sure the patio is nice during warmer weather. Â And as always, it being dog friendly is a major plus in my book. Â The place does have a sense of humor about it which is appreciated. Â And as I said, the staff was really pleasant to us. Â
This place does have the whiff of death about it, sadly. Â It's fine to have a "my way or the highway" position about things, but everything better be beyond top notch. Â I don't mean that as an insult; a lot of places start with this line of thinking but come to realize that it's important to make changes based on feedback from customers in order to be viable. Â It could be a really cool place (and would likely stay open) if a few things were tweaked. Â
Jeez, now I feel like one of those Mystery Diners on tv.
I really, really wanted to like Clutch because it is very close to my apartment. Â I gave this place two tries and was disappointed both times. Â The food was okay, nothing spectacular and very small portion sizes. Â Both times there was no one in the place, creepy. Â The service was horrible - unfriendly and slow. Â The only reason I am giving this 2 stars is because the building and art are very cool, too bad they couldn't fully deliver. Â I'm not sure how this place is still even open?!?!
Review Source:If I could rate this place a zero, I would. We were the only people in the place for brunch, a total of 10. It took 30 minutes for drinks, and 90 minutes for food to come out. I hate this turd of a restaurant. Please save yourself the trouble and time. I live a block away and I'd rather starve.
Review Source:If you're looking for a quiet, neighborhoody bar, that's dog friendly--Clutch is your spot. Food is about what you'd expect from a bar, decent but nothing to travel out of your way for. The draft beer selection was nothing to complain about, with several beers I had never heard of before. They even have PBR tall boy cans for hipsters who got lost searching for Wicker Park/Bucktown. Service was decent, and I definitely recommend the outdoor patio if the weather is good. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for something decent, inexpensive and laid back, Clutch is your spot.
Review Source:Okay, let's try this again. Someone had my first review of clutch removed....
THE SERVICE AT CLUTCH IS OFFENSIVELY TERRIBLE.
Do not go here unless you want to be ignored, overcharged, mocked, or otherwise mistreated by drunk bartenders who don't know how to make the drinks on their own menu, or forgot because they drank too many themselves (and then charged you for them.)
After sitting down in the outdoor patio it took 30 minutes for us to get service. When we were done eating it took 40 minutes to get a check. The check was wrong and contained food items from the table behind us. After approaching our server with the error she argued with me, insisting that she had brought my table the food and told me to "stop being so hostile".
I have given this place too many chances, never dine here. Ever.
The husband and I had lunch here over the weekend. Â We were the only customers at prime-time lunchtime.
While Clutch had a decent beer selection and the food was fresh, our overall experience was just ok.
I had to run across the street to get cash from a drive-thru ATM because the waitress was not able to find receipt paper for their credit card machine.
Not cool. Â Clutch was not worth the ATM fees I incurred.
Also, I never received a receipt for my cash payment. Â I'm crossing my figures that I don't find charges on my credit card.
Why, oh why, did you remove your dessert menu?!?! Â Seriously bummed.
However, the remained of the menu revamp, I am totally on board with. Â Got the pork shoulder nachos and they were fabulous, as you would expect with something called pork shoulder nachos. Â Tons of meat and good coverage of cheese on the chips. Â Husband had the fish tacos and said they were good. Â We split the double fried fries and trio of sauces, not a bad one in the bunch.
Seriously though, bring back dessert and print new beer menus because not having six of the ten beers you advertise is super weird. Â I still love you and your beer garden and overabundance of porn in the bathroom though.
They totally suck. The drinks are overpriced and small, The staff is tacky and totally stuck up. I accidentally left my card after hanging out one afternoon and didn't close out. When I returned to pay and collect my card, the staff had added about 6 additional drinks to my tab. Being a day later, I couldn't prove this. I wont be back.
Review Source:I love Clutch. Â I really do. Â Maybe they'll read these reviews though and get rid of that waitress because everyone's who complained about her is right on target. Â Been there...been through that. Â She's rude, unfriendly, and really doesn't care about working there which is a total shame because it is such a great little bar. Â
Regardless of the waitress with the tude, I'll always be back. Â Great beer list, amazing patio and decor, and the music is just wonderful.
My Yelp app on my phone is always trying to get me to register. Finally, I hated my experience someplace enough to do so!
On Sunday (3/18/12), my friend and I went searching for a restaurant with a patio where there wasn't a wait. We found Clutch, which gave all appearances of being a hidden gem we were suddenly discovering. The place looks cool, there's plenty of open air seating, and the food & drink menus look delicious!
There was one table of two women outside already and only two people inside seated at the bar. The waitress (white girl, brown hair. I don't recall her name) came over with menus and took my beer order.
After a bit too long of a wait for that beer, she finally returns to take our food orders and informs us that the kitchen is totally out of the stew and the burgers. Understandable, considering it being St Patrick's Day weekend. I ordered The Mess Around and my friend ordered some sort of chicken sandwich, both came with fries.
The food came after what seemed like a normal amount of time, but somehow both of our dishes arrived COLD. Not lukewarm, but cold. As if they had been made an hour ago just waiting for somebody to order them.
Also, in all this time, the waitress had zero interest in how empty our drinks and waters had become.
So, I approached the bar (again, she was not busy) and explained that our food had arrived cold. No shock. No apology. She just blandly asked if we'd like her to put the orders in again. I said yes.
On my way back to our table, I overheard the other table of patrons complaining about a problem with their order. I investigated. The two ladies at the other table had been there before us and were STILL waiting for their food....which was only one order of chips and guac.
This information made it crystal clear that what we were dealing with was a shitty waitress and that we would be fools to invest any more time or money into the place than we already had.
So, we got her attention again and asked if she could cancel our food orders all together. We weren't rude about it, but it should have been clear from our tone that it was because we were upset. She just said okay. No follow up questions. No apologies. She just didn't give a shit. We agreed with the theory posed by the other patrons: Our server was high.
When she passed by again soon after that, she told me that my beer was $7 (which, just to underline her being a terrible employee, was actually a misquote in our favor. On the menu it was $8). I paid exactly what she told me.
Now, if a server fucks up but feels bad about it, I still tip at least 15% (depending on how busy the place is). I think this might be the only instance of my ever having left a zero tip for a server.
Well, fortunately we were pretty close to Twisted Spoke, which also had a patio. Even though the place was PACKED, they still managed to get our meals and drinks to us quickly and correctly.
I had a great lunch experience at Clutch. I've known about them for a long time, but the name kept me from trying it out. The menu is small and everything on it looked worth trying. That's how it should be.
I ordered the fish tacos, which were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. I assumed it was going to be sloppy, greasy food and it was so not. My only critique is for the beer menu design. Pick one font (maybe two). It was terribly hard to read.
The only bar REALLY worth visiting on the Near West Side.
I've been here once and I'm in love with this place,
I'm always looking for an excuse to go back.
No place beats this joint, especially if you're an art geek, have ADHD (as there will be lots to look at and talk about) or just enjoy really well prepared, creative and tasty drinks.
I'm an addict after one hit.
This strange place looks like an old garage turned to bar...in fact, I'm pretty sure it used to be an old Midas (complete lie). It's unique and strange, but quite the cozy place to eat. Â
If you go during lunch, you'll be one of the only tables in there. Service is good and really friendly. Very down to earth. A unique lunch menu and the food is surprisingly delicious. Recommend the stew and the fish tacos (which are the only two things I've tried). It's definitely worth going back.
The pretty damn cool decor and jazz music on it's own gets a couple of stars! The set up itself is a little reminiscent of Big Star with the old converted garage idea, this is a good thing! I love that idea and I am happy to have this place in my soon to be neighborhood. While we are on the subject of decor though....if you are coming with kids I would um, erm, not take them to the bathroom unless you are prepared to have the birds and the bees talk... nuff' said!
I sadly (due to silly early morning start) did not get to indulge in their wonderful looking cocktail list. However, I am looking forward to going back and doing just that! The chips and salsa were great and so was the "white wrap" a buffalo chicken wrap. My husband enjoyed his burger, but at $17 a pop (or about that don't quote me) we think it should have been more memorable. I'm taking a star off for pricing because considering it's location and vibe I think they should tone the prices down a touch. If they do that I see this places business going up and a great restaurant future ahead of them.
Regardless of the prices, I will be back! Check it out, this place is worth a shot!
P.S shout out for the excellent service and dogs are allowed on the patio! Woof! :)
The decor alone is worth the trip. Our waitress told me the place used to be an old garage and now in the summer they have the two garage doors open. Really fun place. They even have draft beer out of a gas pump.
The service was awesome! Theresa waited on us and she was always on top of our drinks. We never had to wave to get her attention.
The cans of beer are not your typical cans of beer. All the ones we tried came in 16.9oz cans which was a nice surprise. The staff is very educated on helping you pick a beer to your taste so do not be afraid to ask.
We got the steak tacos and "A little Chocolate Milkshake and warm, yet tiny donuts". The milk shake was the best part of the meal by far. It tasted like a malted milk ball. So good. The donuts were good too. When they first brought them on they were way over done but Theresa went in the back right away and got us some more. They are covered with cinnamon.
The only warning I would give is do not bring anyone immature. The dimly lit bathrooms are very racy. The women's bathroom is decorated with adults in compromising positions and the men's bathroom is just pictures of women. It is very interesting but fits in perfect with the garage feel.
Stopped in for a drink and some snacks before an event in the area. The patio area is pretty nice and we had perfect weather so that made for a more enjoyable experience. Their were a few other diners but not a big crowd which is what I expected for a Thursday happy hour. Cava was served in stemless glasses and i'm not exactly a fan of those as they change the temp of what you're drinking. We noshed on chips with salsa and guacamole as well as fries with three different dipping sauces. The guac was good, the salsa was average. The fries couldn't stand alone but the sauces (curry ketchup, some type of pesto, and a garlic aoli) saved the day.
Go to the bathroom, even if you don't have to go. It's dark like a bat cave or something but once your eyes adjust you'll notice the interesting art on the walls, the back of the door, etc. A bunch of rocks were in the sink which made me think someone was in the process of cleaning a fish tank and forgot them. After realizing how silly that thought seemed, I concluded that they were just part of the kitschy decor.
Still a great little bar! Â The menu has changed (more upscale food now) with tasty entrees like shish kabobs, or they'll even order you a pizza from CoalFire around the corner but the ambiance and great music still exist.
Love their drink menu with flavorful drinks like the "High Five" and something that looked like a Pimm's Cup with a special glass and straw.
Service was spot on, thanks Leila (sp?) and the crowd was friendly.
Now that's service . . .from an old service station!
I've been here three times and two out of three times were fine. Â We went Friday night after work last week (which was my first visit this year), and we were pretty dissapointed. Â I want to like them, and I've never had a problem before...so I'm hoping they'll soak in some of the reviews here and consider a few changes.
First, two waitresses were covering us simultaneously, which was a mild red flag. Â I never know exactly what's going on, like, are they fighting for my territory, or will there be any communication gaps? Â Turns out our dinner order never made it to the kitchen. Â That's what we surmise; when you're told "the kitchen mixed up your order" or "there was a mixup" or whatever, it's not a stretch to assume in this case, the order just dissapeared.
We knew something was wrong when the waitress asked us if we were looking for our check. Â We hadn't even gotten our food yet...we'd been waiting about half an hour already. Â They apologized and brought my wife a free wine refill. Â That's a nice gesture, but she's already on an empty stomach, and the wine wasn't that great. Â In fact, she told me there were bubbles floating on the surface and a soapy taste, and she didn't even desire to drink much of her first glass, so the second glass wasn't going to win us over.
After our order supposedly went in, we continued to wait for a relatively long time (probably 35 minutes give or take), watching other tables who came in long after us get their various apps and entrees. Â We're sitting there thinking "how long does it take to make a salad and burger?" Â My wife finally asked the waitress to bring out the salad asap--we're hungry!
After the food came, I noticed the burger wasn't what I had originally ordered. Â Where was the bacon and fried egg? Â And what are these lame, soggy fries soaked with hot sauce (bad idea, by the way)? Â I just wanted what I ordered . Â On top of everything, it wasn't even that good. Â I've had better food the last two times coming here, but the burger I got last week was not very tasty.
They comped our entire bill, which showed us they were at least trying to acknowledge the situation. Â The waitress was apologetic, and I know mistakes happen that are sometimes out of the control of the server. Â I think ultimately the owner could benefit from examining the service, including why the wine glass was soapy, and why two waitresses were working our table, and the subsequent order breakdown.
"Ummm, do you think they'll play hip-hop in here?" I asked one of my friends, making a face as pretty mellow tunes came outta the speakers. Â It was a Saturday night and I was sleeeeeeepy. Â The music was NOT helping my cause. Â
Thankfully, these nice employees just asked us what type of station we wanted (Pandora, ya know) and they had NO problem changing the station for us. Â How effin' nice...considering that I doubt hip-hop is their music of choice and they could have just laughed at our request. Â
Anyway, Clutch has a ton of specialty drinks on their menu. Â In fact, you might spend a long time reading all the ingredients in the drinks because you want to make the right decision on what drink to get! Â I think my favorite is the Ginger Hat...and, although I don't remember what's exactly in it, I'm sure it contains some perfect ginger/whiskey combo. Â
Service is awesome! Â Our waitress took great care of us and had absolutely no problem opening up separate tabs for each one of us. Â Win! Â The bartender was also a delight and I noticed that he captured the heart of a few girls in the group. Â Aw. Â The decor is...eclectic, to say the least. Â A free art exhibit, for sure.
FYI - I called to make a reservation for a birthday party of about 20 people. Â Clutch ended up cutting us a nice deal since we had a bigger group - $2 off mixed drinks/beers and $1 off shots/special drinks. Â Pretty nice special!
Had my burfday party here and it couldn't have been more perfect. Great service, great food, and I had one too many shots! Â Just the way a birthday should be. Â I absolutely love love LOVE this place and can't wait to see it in the summer time!
Tits in the men's room is super awesome. Need a lot more cock in the ladies room ;)
Well, if you look up the menu on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FMenupages.com&s=aa2a6e17364723b7d94a2348e2c6e43d1cd2975be885cacb7e68de094cd7c27a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Menupages.com</a>, like I did, you are going to be a little disappointed. Gone are the novelty foods, such as the deep fried hotdog, the blue cheese fries, and the ClutchEasy burger (which seemed so popular...?)
Now the menu is definitely more upscale, with fancy salads and entrees. There is still a burger, which Andy ordered. It isnt covered with a ridiculous amount of cheese, but it is huge, with bacon, and comes with some delicious fries. Â We ordered an appetizer of wasabi wings (which were tasty but not hot in any way) and I am glad we did because my entree, while the same price as Andy's burger, was a little sad and skimpy. It was a chicken and steak kebab dish, and what arrived were two tiny skewers comprised of about half onions & peppers vs meat, and two small cups of sauce for them. That was it! No side, not even a token veggie decoration. Â Although they were tasty, the sauces were superfluous and I would definitely not order this again.
We attempted to sit outside, but I didnt bring a jacket and it became too chilly after about 10 minutes. So we moved inside. A small, but cute interior, with some very interesting art on the walls. Â Service was attentive, even when the place filled up about halfway through our meal.
To me, now that the menu has changed so drastically, this is a cool place to come if you live in the area or happen to be close by. However, I dont think it warrants a special trip since you can get similar things (and better things) at other places closer to you.
Just enjoyed the picturesque outdoor seating and welcoming service at Clutch. Yes (looking at a different review) the menu is rather basic, yet it is hardly unimaginative. And the entrees are ample, the spices, sauces and dressings are fresh, and the servers are as amiable as they are attractive.
  And the interior of Clutch is resplendent with clever metal sculptures and creative paintings. Pleasing, if not somewhat mesmerizing.
  I am reluctant to give a restaurant five stars after one visit and I am even more hesitant to encourage others to overcrowd a perfectly pleasant piece of drinky heaven. Yet so be it. It seems wonderful.
I've been to Clutch twice. The first time was disappointing, and the second was much of the same.
1) 32-inch TV, and only one of them in the bar
2) the owner invites all of his buddies, its a frat-party, with people making out and groping each other
3) I could cook better food on my grill
4) service is just 'ok', because the bartenders/waitresses are busy tending to the owners friends
just skip this place and go to the much better, much more consistent Twisted Spoke across the street
F this place right in the A.
Go across the street to the OTHER mediocre motorhead-themed bar that will actually serve you. Rhymes with "wisted - spoke" (they have more than 4 entrees also)
Back to this place...
Not busy at all. 10 minutes to get the waitress. We order three beers, letting her know we want food. Beers come. Never asked about food. See waitress chatting to other tables (not about food, just for funs!)
10 minutes. eye contact with waitress twice.
15 minutes. eye contact with waitress four times.
20 minutes. I get up, ask the bartender how much our beers were, and then we leave the money on the table. No food.
If you missed it the first time. F this place. What a terrible waste of an outdoor patio.
I liked this place the first time I sat out on the patio- the service was adequate and so was the food. Â It's a very, very basic and unimaginative bar menu: nachos, wings, burgers, wraps. Â Beer list is uninteresting, they have Bell's Oberon, Guinness, Pabst, and Scrimshaw. Â I could easily do better. Â Some positives: the patio is nice and roomy, they allow dogs, and the decor is an interesting mix of industrial/auto garage with figurative art.
Second time I stopped by was last night. Â Place was maybe 1/4 full. Â Waited on the server for menus, waited on server to take drink order, waited for beers, then waited and waited and waited for server to come and take food order. Finally gave up, paid cash and walked out. Â
I am getting very tired of terrible service in this town. Â I will not be back to Clutch.
stopped in before Black Hawks game one night. cool industrial feel but will definitely improve come summer time when they can roll the doors up. My friend had a hamburger and said it was cooked how he ordered and that it was tasty as well as the fries. Judy and Amanda were entertaining. I wish they would put in a cool Ecast digital jukebox as I was a little bored listening to their ipods (plus that's illegal). Enjoyed drinks so much we went back after the black hawks game-
will put into my Chicago routine
will definitely go back
Sister restaurant/bar to Matilda's, up on Sheffield, Clutch is equal parts garage, loft, Brooklyn and industrial Chicago all rolled into one delicious package. Â I think I just found my new favorite spot near Grand and Ogden. Â
Built into the shell of an old auto detailing shop, Clutch has American food done well with little twists along the way. Â The hummus plate comes with handmade hummus (we talked to the cook ourselves) that packs quite a spicy aftertaste! Â Steak skewers come deliciously charred (but tender in the middle) with onions and peppers. Â Add in some lime/garlic dipping sauce and a creamy shallot sauce, and you've got the perfect recipe for a mid-afternoon snack and beer. Â
I'm dying to get back in there when it's dark out to see how the scene differs. Â Also, once warm weather comes back it's going to be awesome to hangout on the front patio w/ the garage door open, watching the world go by. Â
Clutch, thank you for making my exploratory day yesterday. Â (Also, nice bathroom.. Â ;)
I really like this place, great alternative to the other bars in the hood.
I managed to be here Friday and Saturday night - PBR $3 on tap, and the  bartenders were very, very nice.
I was impressed by the space! Â I expected it to be dirty for some reason, probably because of the name and that it was a garage, Â but it was really nice!
Awesome art work and comfy seating, its a nice little find.
Waited an hour for a salad & burger at lunchtime. Â There was one other customer the whole time we were there. Â Will not be returning.
After being ignored by the waitress/bartender for several minutes when we first walked in, my co-worker and I were finally told to sit wherever. Â At first things were going smoothly, the waitress took our drink orders and then our food order within a reasonable amount of time. Â My co-worker ordered a burger and I ordered a salad. Â Then we played the waiting game, 50 min., no food, no update on the food, no check up from the waitress.
The waitress finally came by and assured us that our food was being "plated' and that it would be "right up". Â 10 min. later, no food. Â We finally go up and asked the waitress to pack up our food to go since we were already late for work. Â We then waited another 10 minutes for her to wrap it up. We paid and left - taking our food with us. Â I ended up with a passable if somewhat wilted salad, my co-worker ended up with a very very pink burger.
Not worth the wait & bad service.
SO HAPPY this place opened up across the street from my building!!!! This is the best bar on Grand. The atmosphere is posh but not pretentious. The staff is cute, friendly, and great company. Clientele is a mix and the place is very easy to start conversation with anyone. The patio is nice, has heat lamps, and is DOG FRIENDLY!!!!
Food menu is fun and affordable.
My fish tacos were to die for! Not fried, light, flavorful.
Ok, so their booze list is a little small. and there are only four beers on tap, but they do have a number of bottled beers and $2.50 cans of old style.
If you're a fan of other neighborhood bars such as: Matchbox, Silver Palm, or Tumans...you'll love CLUTCH.
If you are a fan of 'chad/trixie' bars this place is probably not for you.
Pretty good food, friendly service, and an awesome patio make this place a winner. My fiance and I grabbed dinner at Clutch on a Wednesday night and the outdoor patio is awesome! We got a glass of wine each and I got the chicken wrap.
I'll def be back, especially considering I'm a neighbor.
This is my new favorite across-the-street spot from my house (that isn't Sip Coffee, which I adore for other reasons). Clutch reminds me of a Brooklyn bar--I think it's the candlelight and soft orangey walls (what orange has to do with Brooklyn, I'm not quite sure, but whatever, I said it!).
Stopped in last night (Tuesday) around 10:30, and it was pretty quiet, since this place has only been open about 2 weeks or so. Empty bars sometimes lead to awkward everyone-listening-in-on-you types of conversations, but my friend and I totally didn't feel like that here. The bartender and owner were both friendly and chatty (but not in an over-the-top irritating way, just genuinely interesting folks). Also seems to be an easy bar to make friends with the other patrons, since it's cozy enough but not tooo cozy (ala Matchbox, which can be easily overcrowded by 20 people).
They have a decent looking bar food menu too--and in my opinion, it can only be a step up from Twisted Spoke's greasy fare (though I haven't tried any of clutch's food yet, I'll look forward to it). Anywhere with hummus on the menu gets points from me :) Â
Slight con: our draught beers (Oberon and Beamish) were $5.50 each. I know the liquor tax just got raised, but I feel like an even $5 is so much better. Eh, we can't have it all.
Pretty basic menu and beer selection (think burgers with some apps and salads.....oberon, point ale, beamish and pbr on tap)
Inside the decor is nice and modern, and with garage doors, it's like being outside. Â Ipod music on tap. Â Interpol was playing at some point. Â Too much beer cancels out remembering anything else.
Best part is the patio is DOG FRIENDLY. Â Definitely will be coming back with dog in tow.
This place opened on Monday and even though it's freezing outside, we made the trek out to the west-side to see what their deep-fried hot dogs were all about. Turns out they aren't selling the deep-fried dogs just yet, but their fries are probably the best in the city.
Built in an abandoned West town auto shop, the atmosphere is pretty awesome. It's basically the equivalent to Bar on Buena for the west side. Huge outdoor patio, cosy booths and really friendly staff. If you're looking for a place to go on a warm summer night, it's worth a try. As for our final decision on the food, we'll prolly go back in a month or two and try out those dogs...
