Fizz is a really nice neighborhood bar with daily specials. Â I bought a living social coupon for a pizza and two flights of beer which are 4 little glass samplers. Â It was fun to try, and they had OUR team on the tv over the bar, which was pretty awesome. Â My husband said the pizza tasted like Domino's which is not an insult, but nothing special either. Â
A live band was moving in at about 8:45 preparing for Live Band Karaoke at 9 when we left which seems pretty late to get started on a week night. Â We were two of maybe 6 or 8 people in the place, and service was fine. Â Waitress and people sitting at the bar were really friendly.
Â
When the Karaoke guy brought the song list by our table we laughed, and looked through it but when he walked back by I handed it back and said "The only song I sing is Bohemian Rhapsody, and its not on your list." Â He told me they COULD DO that!!!! Â ....so since we were finished anyways, my husband and I quickly paid and snuck out because it would have been EXTREMELY hard to walk out or NOT sing when there is such a small audience of participants!!! Â yikes!
I really liked Fizz and if we lived in the area I could see it being a good hang out, especially  if there were more people there.  We would have enjoyed staying if they were just going to have live music without Karaoke!  ~grin~  We also noticed a SUPER nice and large beer garden on the side of the building that I look forward to enjoying once the weather is nice!
Every time I come here I'm determined I'm going to like it... but so far no luck. Â While they sport a broad beer selection, I do not find it an especially good selection. Â The food is pretty poor (the calamari specifically come to mind as disgusting/tough) and the service has always been slow. Â After trying to like it on 4 or 5 separate occasions, here's to hoping I don't keep going back expecting different results. Â However, I've got to give them some props for the beer garden which is both cool/fun and large.
Review Source:I came here last night, Monday, with the Groupon for two beer flights and a $17 dollar pizza. We had the Chicken Pesto pizza and the Fries. Both were ok, nothing special about them to come back or tell people about. We got there around 7 and it was trivia night. It wasn't packed but there were quite a few people. After walking in you are not quite sure if someone will seat you or if you can sit yourself because some tables say reserved. Â We walked over to the bar and finally flagged the bartender and asked and he said we could sit anywhere. we sat down and there was only ONE waitress for the whole place. It took us about 30min to order, we had to ask for utensils, had to ask for plates, had to ask for water, had to flag her over....I don't mind, and I get when establishment are busy but this place was not busy at all. It has potential to be a sweet place but not currently.
Review Source:Went there for a beer flight and pizza, was pleasantly surprised at their well-rounded draft list (they had Yeti stout!). Did not experience the bad customer service I read all about. Our server Molly was very amiable and attentive. Pizza was mediocre, but the toppings appeared fresh.
And I'm not sure about the "not good for kids" label for this place. I saw two families with kids that arrived for dinner. Sure, not the best place, but the seating area was quite relaxed and down tempo. Of course this was also a Monday night.
Went to Fizz last night with a Groupon for 4 beer flights and 2 pizzas. We found out upon arrival that it was trivia night. This resulted in some extremely slow service. I think it took at least 20 minutes for our drinks to come to the table. It would help if they had a few more TVs so at least we could have distracted ourselves. I also have only attended 1 or 2 trivia nights in my life, but I think the point is that they are actually supposed to be somewhat challenging? After two rounds our table hadn't missed a question, and we are not rocket scientists folks. Â We left at 'half time' because we just couldn't take it!
Positive Notes: The pizza and beers were good. If you like spicy food then the Hot, Hotter, Hottest pizza was a solid choice I would recommend. The beer menu could be a little more extensive, particularly since they offer beer flights.
This is one of our neighborhood hangs. Â We usually sit at the bar, but have been in their great beer garden in the summer as well. Â The bartenders are great! Â The pizzas are really good and most everything we've tried here has been at least very good bar food. Â I don't know a lot about beer, but my husband thinks their selection is right on.
Review Source:I'll sum it up for everyone because a lot of the reviews here are right...
1) the beer garden is a big awesome space. It's a great place to kickback out there. I know it's heated but I haven't ventured out there in bad weather. BUT... service is REALLY slow when you're out there and it's busy. You're better off fighting for a beverage up at the bar.
Or... Order 2 at a time. That's how I roll.
2) The upstairs.. Bye Bye Liver is a pretty awesome show. It's a great outing for a group of friends. It's a show that incorporates some drinking games. You'll enjoy it for what it is; fun.
This is a fun spot all around.
Come and be overwhelmed by their beer garden and underwhelmed by their draft selection.
I have been here a few times and their draft list has never featured any great wonders, but the selection is decent enough to keep you in your seat for a round or two. The food is decent-good. Do yourself a favor and skip the cheese curds--they are largely hollow and don't feature that oozing cheese that makes you excited to add your name to the heart transplant list. Their pizza, despite the high cost, are better than average bar pizza and is worth a try.
They have some decent food specials, but like other reviews noted the service is so poor it makes frequenting his place hard to imagine. If you're going to eat sit inside so you can glare at your waitress in a vain effort to get her to come to your table or sit at the bar where the service is better ( though still not great).
I also had the pleasure of going to the Bye Bye Liver show upstairs which was genuinely fun! Wait for the groupon because it isn't worth a full price ticket. Considering that you have to buy your own booze at full price, the sale helps cushion the beating your wallet will take. The show is short at about 90 mins and very Chicago specific. If you have friends from out of town skip the show because your guest won't get the majority of the jokes.
I would've given this place a 5 but the service blows! I went on a perfect Chicago Friday evening for a party in the big beer garden but when I went back to the bar to get a drink it took almost 10 minutes!!! to get a pop. There were two bartenders but they were just slow as molasses. Also, my friend asked for an Absolute and Sprite and she got a Raspberry and sprite :-
This could be a winner for an great evening outside in the city but you'll have to wait a while if you want a cocktail.
I've been to Fizz twice now, and I'm definitely a fan. It's a bit of a trek from where I live, so I never go there out of the sake of "convenience" but I've enjoyed my experiences there so far.
I had a groupon to use up (two beer flights and an appetizer) so my boyfriend and I came here for a Sunday Funday. We were the only patrons in the bar around 12:30 on a Sunday after they had been open for about an hour and a half. We decided to sit outside in their beautiful beer garden and look over the menu. They have a decent rotating draft beer offering of a bunch of craft beers, which was a definite plus. For the beer flight deal we were able to pick any four 4oz beers on the draft menu. I was happy to see this as many package deals include the same types of beer flight samplers, ranging from Blue Moon to Allagash White, so it was nice to mix it up a bit. The waitress had us write down which four beers we wanted, and they served the flight up as we had written them down, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed our flights and also noticed that they have a great bottle selection as well.
For our appetizer, we put in an order for the Steak Quesadilla and ordered an additional side of sweet potato fries. The quesadilla was HUGE and about twice the size of most offerings from other bars. We definitely didn't need the additional side of fries, but I was definitely stuffed after my "half" of the quesadilla. The quesadilla itself was just okay, nothing to write home about--it had the tortilla, meat, and cheese aspects covered. The salsa and guacamole that accompanied it wasn't "made to order" or "super fresh" but it was what I expected. As for the sweet potato fries, they were crispy and delicious. They were reminiscent of the fries from Smoke Daddy, so I happily munched my way through them.
All in all it was a pleasant experience on a Sunday afternoon. My only complaint is that the service was a bit slow. We were the only people there for about 30 minutes and it took awhile for the beers to come out with two bartenders and a waitress. We were in no rush so it didn't really bother me, but I just thought that was important to note. The staff was super friendly though.
I'll definitely try to stop at Fizz again before the weather turns cold, it's hard to turn down a bar with decent food, a great beer offering, and a fantastic beer garden.
I really like their beer garden! It's huge, and I would suggest sitting as far away from the outdoor bar as possible (the bar area is loud, crowded, and the lights are bright and make the whole area hot). The rest of the garden is filled with trees and shrubs, and even a waterfall. There are plenty of comfy couches to sit.
The outdoor area closes at 12 on weekends, but we didn't have any trouble finding a table inside. The music was very loud inside though, it was hard to hear yourself think.
The service was outstanding, and the drinks are reasonably priced. We had a groupon, so we got two beer flights (four 4 oz beers) and a yummy spinach artichoke appetizer. We also ordered multiple drinks afterwards, I really liked their pear cider (bottles). They have a nice selection of different beers on tap.
I'll definitely be back again.
This is a nice place. Â Our server, Sarah, was wonderful! Â We enjoyed the outdoor patio, but minus a star for having a smoking section. Â Even though we were as far as we could be from the smoking section I could still smell smoke. Â
We did a couple of beer flight, they had a good selection. Â We also had the spinach and artichoke dip which was excellent. Â I particularly enjoy the fact that there was a perfect dip to bread ratio.
Someone sitting at the table next to us order wing that smelled delicious. Â We ordered some and they were pretty o.k.
I would go back and check out a beer tasting event. Â They have one every month.
Cute name.
Bad service = slow; food to the wrong table (twice); out of my beer of choice which was featured on their 'new' list.
Veggie burger was ok for a frozen patty, but the bun was focaccia which totally didn't work with the toppings; side salad was pretty much just shredded lettuce with olive oil.
And very wasteful - using disposable plates, cups, etc. for dining.
Bathroom = dirty
Outdoor space = very nice!
Positives:
-Spacious bar with plenty of tables inside and outside in the side patio.
-Nice beer selection.
Negatives:
-Service was slow. Bartenders had trouble with credit card machine.
-Our group was told that outdoor seating was only for dining customers only. It's a bar, people! We ended up sitting inside with no one chastising us on not ordering food.
Fizz has a really well furnished and comfortable side porch area and they host comedy groups all the time in an upstairs theater. Â We didn't do either of those things because (1) it was raining out and (2) the show upstairs was well under way by the time we stopped in at 8:15. Â Instead, we got some of their 10 cent wings and an $11, 4-glass (4-5 ounces each) flight of of their drafts. It was a really quiet Tuesday night at the restaurant, maybe 6 other people in the entire place.
A few minor criticisms, all of which I mean to be constructive...they were out of 3 out of my 4 choices for the flight, even though they had just published the menu recently. Â Also, the bartender was a nice guy, and gave us the lowdown on the upcoming craft beer week, but he kept pacing back and forth, rapidly, behind the bar, and he had a habit of ending every single sentence with "brother." Â The wings were good and smothered with sauce.
I'll definitely be back here sometime to check out an event in the upstairs area.
I met my date before going to the Bye Bye Liver show and we had a few drinks before going up to the pub theater. Â The staff was very friendly and there were quick with the drinks and with the tab. Â After the show we went back downstairs and sat at the bar. Â Both the bartender and server were friendly and didn't bother us too much throughout the coarse of the date. Â
As far as Bye Bye Liver is concerned. Â This is a great show! Â I laughed my ass off several times through the coarse of the evening. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a stick up their ass! Â If you are easily offended, this show isn't for you. Â You should just stay home and watch Golden Girls reruns on Nick at Nite! Â For all others, enjoy a great show!
I work nearby, and when I saw Fizz on Groupon it seemed like a great excuse to try them.
The groupon was for two beer flights (4 small draft pours) and an appetizer. My date and I both choose 4 beers from their pretty decent draft list. The draft lines were clean, the beer tasted good. The appetizer, on the other hand, wasn't so good. We got the vegetarian nachos. The chips were burned from the broiler melting the cheese- the veggie chili wasn't spicy in the least, barely any flavor. The nachos didn't come with jalapenos....they came with sour cream, guacamole and salsa on the side. The salsa was out of a jar. The guacamole was mostly tomato and onion, very little avocado and already starting to turn brown.
My date ordered the stuffed meatball sandwich, and I ordered the Thai turkey burger. I could tell immediately when it came out I would regret it. The smell wasn't great. I took one bite and that was all. The peanut sauce was overpowering, the cabbage on top old, the turkey patty dry. The 'side salad' was watery iceberg lettuce with store bought croutons on top. My date's 'stuffed' meatballs, weren't really stuffed...most of the cheese was on top. The flavors were good though. He ate about half his sandwich. It came on a roll that was two pieces, making it harder to eat. The steamed broccoli on the side was....underwhelming. A few pieces looked past their prime for sure.
Despite the not so hot food, the waitress was friendly, fast, and courteous. The space was nice, they also seem to have a very large outdoor patio.
I will go back for drinks on the patio this summer, but stay away from the food.
While the barkeep consistently charged me $1 more for beers than was listed on the menu, I didn't necessarily mind because I was impressed with the selection. Â
I wouldn't call the service "friendly", but I since I don't traverse this hood often, I can only imagine the douchebaggery these folks must deal with.
Good place, I'd come back-- the food my friends ordered looked pretty good, too!
This review is only for their mac & cheese entree.
After watching "Bye Bye Liver", our group came down to the bar & grill area on the first floor for some food!
My friends ordered the enchilada and I believe it was a turkey burger. They both said it was very good. My friend Rob scarfed down his burger like he hadn't ate for days.. hahaa..
At first, I wasn't going to eat. Thennnn, I saw my friends eating and it looked so good. I ordered the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and not salty.
You have an option of adding two ingredients into your mac and cheese. I added chorizo and spinach- YUM!
I think they have $2 mac and cheese (originally $10) on a week night. I gotta find out when so I can come back to have some more!
Fizz has been the host of many events for me, whether it's a Brewski Thursday spot in the beer garden, a destination to try some local craft brews on tap, a night of pub trivia, and most recently, pre-show dinner & drinks for date night at Bye Bye Liver.
Fizz pushes the "buy local" theme for their brews made here in Chicagoland as well as nearby in the Midwest, and fortunately they have a fantastic selection of said beers. Â You'll find the best from Three Floyd's, Half Acre (although the last time I went, the Daisy Cutter tasted infected), Metropolitan, and many many others. Â
The chopped salad is awesome if you're looking for something light. Â If you want something delicious and greasy, try the grilled cheese w/ bacon. Â Their appetizers are also really good and are half-priced on some evenings. Â Service is usually pretty quick aside from one instance and the servers are great with beer recommendations.
Everybody get your Fizz on. So I came to this spot with a large group and it was actually pretty decent. If you can, meaning if it's not snowing, try and get a table in their patio area. Although it's kinda small, its a nice little atmosphere for a group to kick it old school.
I wasn't crazy about the food, but they made up for it with the great beer selection. It was literally a dream list of beers. Overall, Fizz was an average spot and I'll definitely be back to get it going.
a friend and I stopped in here as we were on a bar hop around lakeview and north center. We spotted the big patio and figured it'd be a good place to stop in at.
We had eaten, so it was just down to the drinks. I got some daisy cutter and it was very reasonable at $5. A quick peruse through the beer list and it was all priced well. We weren't staying long, so I didn't get too many beers.
Our waitress was fairly easy to get a hold of. There was a large crowd out on the patio and it looked like she was one of a few out there.
I do have to say, there was a very high chad factor when I was there. It was kinda weird as the other bars we stopped in on didn't have that concentration of chads, maybe they were all here. I'm not exactly that kind of guy, but I won't hold it against fizz at all. Too bad my friend and I weren't able to get on the pong table, but it was pretty in demand, c'est la vie
Great patio.. ya know, minus the smoking section on the patio part. Â Yuck.
Also, service is about as SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLOW as it would have taken me to type out each 'S' individually in the word  'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLOW' above.  When it's 100 degrees out I want a cold drink, not constant apologies, about how it took you so long to come back to our table.
Good patio, but the inside is a little bare.
Drinks are reasonably priced and the bartender was quick and attentive.
Seems like a good place to take a large group of people, especially if its nice outside and you're looking for a beer garden (which aren't easy to find in this little area). Â
Might come back for the food, although it will be tough to walk past Beckett's for this place.
My friend and I had dinner here before going up to see Bye Bye Liver, and were happy we could snag a table outside. Even though it was hot as bejesus out there was shade and a nice breeze making the evening comfortable.
Overall the food was okay - I had a turkey burger with tots and my friend had a salad with fried potato salad.
The two stars come off for service. We were seated promptly, our server brought out our drinks and then seemed to ignore us for 10 minutes. She wasn't waiting on other tables, just wandering around. We'd make eye contact, I'd wave and she would continue on without stopping. Once we finally snagged her she could probably tell I was irritated and was responsive after, but her overall demeanor was just unpleasant.
Calling all trivia geeks: Fizz hosts Team Trivia night every Thursday at 8:30pm. Â Being a huge trivia nerd myself, I was, dare I say thrilled, with the prospect of duking it out trivia-style with other like-minded geeks. Â
Fizz is one of those spots that while located on a busy intersection, there's not much else happening close by, so I feel like it's a true destination spot. Â You'd really only go there because you wanted to... not because you're barhopping on a Saturday night and happen upon it. Â
So Fizz. Â It's a totally standard issue bar and really doesn't try to be something trendy, flashy or crazy. Â They have awesome specials every night of the week and a pretty sweet beer garden for the summer months. Â Or the winter months if you're a smoker. Â One absolutely cannot complain with the Thursday night special of $12 buckets of Bud Lite or Miller Lite Tallboys.
The food, though, is meh. Â I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love that bars are taking pub grub up a notch and giving their clients some truly great food. Â However, Fizz is doling out the basics...without much flair. Â For example, the Bottle Caps (fried jalapenos) are just that: Fried jalapenos with ranch. Â The pizza actually kind of tastes like Jack's brand frozen pizza. Â No excitement. Â Nothing memorable. Â I did enjoy the hummus, which had a great red pepper flavor, but it may have been a fluke.
While the food was boring, the trivia was anything but. Â It's handled in 6 rounds of three questions where you assign point values to each question after you hear the categories. Â While my team was not victorious (erm, 9th place, to be exact) we still had fun, including a win in the very important "Shots Round" question series where our team scored a round of shots on the house.
I can definitely see myself coming back for Trivia Night.
I know!
This was the response from our "server" after she had already started off on the wrong foot with us.
My kickball team and I (aka Porkchop Sandwiches) were looking for a beer garden to kick back, eat, and celebrate our Yelp tournament win. Fizz was chosen based on my and another Yelper's recommendation and for that Chops I'm sorry.
I was the first to arrive and was able to work with someone to pull together a table for 10 in the beer garden, which was where the top notch service began and ended. I sat at said table by myself for 5 minutes without offer of a beer, water or food menu waiting for my party to arrive. When my party arrived we sat for another 5 before menus appeared.
After placing our drink orders (another 5-10 minute wait after the menus) we waited for 10 minutes for our drinks only for her to come back to our table empty handed and imform us the were out of the Dark Horse Raspberry I ordered. I placed my new order and we noted that we were ready to order our food too (we were hot and hungry!) since we were afraid she would take off for another extended period. Her response was a smug "I know" and another vanishing act. Five minutes later all of the drinks sans my second choice drink arrived and she was off again without a word leaving us open-mouthed in shock. Another 5 minutes and no sign of her anywhere, we were contemplating leaving, but we decided to get a manager or someone to find her first. It still took another 5-10 minutes for her to show and actually take our food order.
When our food arrived, delivered by someone else, a number of the dishes were bungled, not majorly, but wrong all the same, but we were so hungry we didn't want them sent back. The guy running food was 100x more on top of things than our server. We only saw her once during our meal to remind her she forgot someone else's beer and then again about 10 minutes after most of our plates had been cleared to when we flagged her down to request our check.
The patio was busy, I get it I've waited tables too, but our server didn't seem to be giving any of her tables any attention. If she had tables inside too and was super slammed it would have been nice for her to give us a heads up or at least apologize. Instead, we were convinced she was vying for the title of  "Most indifferent server of the Year."
We all agreed the food runner deserved the automatic gratuity more than she did. At least he checked on us, got our missing items and was prompt and friendly!
Sorry Fizz, your food is good, your patio rocks, but your horrid service forces me to knock you down to 2.5 stars. I haven't written you off for good, but another experience like this and I will.
Recap: At least 30 minutes before we had drinks; 45-ish minutes before we were able to order food!
First off, let me say, overall I like this place. Â I have been hearing about the performance venue that is located upstairs. Â I randomly found myself there for someone's birthday, so I snuck upstairs in the middle of a burlesque show. Â I, as a performer, am a real fan of their performance space. Â I don't think you can get much better than that if you are performing at a traditional bar.
Here's the deal: Â I arrived late and did not stay too long.
Other tidbits: Â I have never seen such drunk people at a bar. Â Was it the weather, was it the time? Â It was about midnight and there were more incredibly drunk people there than I had ever seen. Â Some guy asked me to help him beat up another guy while I was in the bathroom. Â To top it off, they were out of soap!
There is a beer garden, it is nice. Â There is food, I had some leftover pizza that other people had ordered. It was good, legitimately. Â The staff seemed a little bit ornery. Â Yes. Â Ornery. Â Does every beer garden in the city close at midnight? Â It must. Â They were really filing us out of there quickly. Â
In the end, I might go back here if encouraged.
I am definitely a fan of this place.
First off, the food. I came here for the first time on a Thursday night for Yelp's July Beer Garden Event. The bf and I started off with a dozen 25 cent wings, half hot and half sweet. They were some of the best wings we have had so far since moving to the city. While we couldn't have 12 of the hot or 12 of the sweet, the half and half combination is perfect. I then got a salad for my entre with a tuna steak. The tuna steak was HUGE and had great flavor. For the amount of money we paid, I was thoroughly impressed. Â We returned on a Saturday night and had the wings again, minus the 25 cent special. Still delicious and worth the extra couple of bucks.
I have had a couple mixed drinks there and was not too impressed. I definitely did not like the alcohol to mix drink ratio. The beer was reasonably priced which somewhat made up for the lack of alcohol in the mixed drinks.
Lastly, I LOVE the Beer Garden. It is a great place to hang out in the nice weather, especially on a hot humid night. The staff is always really friendly and this is overall a great place to come and hang out.
First off, their beer garden is huge and can hold around 100 people. Â It's got plenty of tables and in the back is a foosball table and a few dart boards. Â When I called ahead and asked to reserve some tables for 40 people (July Beer Garden event), they were 1) surprised and 2) very accommodating. Â The day of the actual event there was some major rain, but we were still able to be in the garden due to the fortitude of one guy continually cleaning the tables and pushing the puddles into the floor drains.
Our server was great. Â She was right on top of things and made sure we always had a drink in our hands. Â Decent drink prices. Â Food was just ok. Â I had a veggie burger and it did what it was meant to do -- give me a base for my booze. Â Overall, I'll be back based on service alone.
I am a big fan of beer gardens. Just sitting around with friends enjoying a cold one is a great way for me to just relax, unwind, and have a good time. I give this beer garden a great big thumbs up. It is a great size and a very nice relaxing atmosphere.
I went here with a group of about 20 people and our server did a decent job of taking care of us. The patio was not all that crowded because of a recent rain so we had most of it to ourselves. The bartender was very friendly too and very efficent. I went on $0.25 wing night and scarfed down 8 of them sweet BBQ babies and they were pretty darn tasty. They have a decent sized menu and a  good selection of beers. I would love to go back!
Belly and Fizz are like two twin eyesores on the horizon that I wish I could eradicate by mental telekinesis.
Fizz?! Man!
Look, the bartenders here are cool and I don't mind them, Â I was sitting in the bar waiting for some friends to show up so we could all go somewhere (I don't remember where, but the idea certainly was not to stay!). Â Go sit under the orange bright lights and ask the bartender for a drink suggestion.
The bartender, I don't know who I thought I was but suggested that I drink a Cosmopolitan! Â I didn't know wtf it was but I drank this cocktail from Hell and gagged while trying to drink this sorry excuse for a drink. Â I am sure it was not his fault and that the Cosmo was good for being a Cosmo, but why the Hell are you trying to make me a Cosmo? Â What kind of man even serves another man a Cosmo!?
Food here is good, I've had an appetizer platter and a burger. Â The burger is very comparable to other bars and does not merit great distinction. Â The dollar value as mentioned in my review of Belly is not as compelling as in areas closer to DePaul. Â The spot I didn't check out was their upstairs which apparently has live music. Â I think you have to pay a cover so it's a shame.
Service: Excellent,
Drinks: Strong,
People: Pretty,
Room: Conversation friendly,
Beer garden : Comfy and well laid out,
bathrooms; Very clean,
Need I say more ?
I was here for a special event organized by Hot House and Chicago Samba and they were very good to us. The owner went out of his way to make our event a great success.
The staff was extremely helpful in assisting us with the sold out show that attracted more people than we expected. While we sorted out our waiting list of 50 guests they made sure all were well attended to and comfortable.
For all you single ladies, I have never seen more good looking men in one room, Not that I was looking, I just casually noticed !
I will definitely go back !
So far, I've only gone here to swing dance on Monday nights. Â
They have a great room upstairs that has plenty of dancing space for almost everybody. Â It has a stage, too, that looks like a great one for a band or open mic night or something. Â And the bartender doesn't cop a 'tude when the dancers ask for water. Â It gets hot when you're lindy hopping your ass off!
They play sports on the tv's downstairs so my non-dancing gentleman can enjoy something HE likes, too! Â Drink prices are reasonable, one waitress I've had downstairs is particularly slow when there are hardly any people in the bar, but it's okay. Â I'm not in a hurry, really. Â Oh, and they have an awesome beer garden!
Any place that provides swing music and a dance floor is good by me!
Cheap buckets of wings on Thursdays. I liiiiike.
Yes, that's buckets of wings, not beers. Strange, I know. They put wings in the beer buckets. But it works, right?
The beer garden is perfect on a hot, humid evening. Cold beers + hot night = most excellent. The wings could use a bit more sauce, but the heat index was just about perfect. I'd only get the hot ones, though. The sweet BBQ paled in comparison to some others I've tried (i.e. Redmond's).
Our waiter was charming. He spilled a beer on me, but I can't even fault him for it.
Fizz - did it sizzle? Â Or fizzle? Â Here's the shizzle my nizzle: Â
I went to Fizz on a Sunday after a FAILED meal at Wishbone (see that review and beware). Â I went with the same two Yelpers and we sat outside to enjoy a super gorgeous afternoon. Â My brunch drink mode was still set to "on" so I ordered a mimosa. Â Another Yelp buddy went the bloody route while the final Yelper went for some gingerale (yes Wishbone was that bad).
I really like the outdoor patio because it is back away from the sidewalk - between two buildings so it's not directly on the street. Â It is like a beer garden but with cement instead of vegetation. Â Our waitress was really cool - even when I ordered one $1 mini burger. Â Yes, just one. Â I know, I know, seemed pointless but that little guy totally hit the spot - perfect with a single pickle on top. Â The server originally gave the mini burger to the next table where some guy had ordered a HUGE regular burger. Â I saw all of this go down which amused me because there was this guy with a mother burger and my poor little burgie! Â The guy goes "what the?" but I motioned to the server that the burgie was indeed mine. Â I got it, ate it, loved it and would have ordered some more except I had literally just eaten another meal - ooops.
As for the drinks - yay on the mimosa, nay on the bloody. Â I like what Fizz was throwin' down that afternoon so I will be back if I'm in the hood again.
