Gruben's Uptown Tap

Where else can you go to get $1 PBR's?  We actually stopped by here while waiting for a table next door since their bar area was crowded.  Other drink specials on that fine Tuesday night included:

$2 Domestic Bottles
$3 Margaritas
$5.50 Hurricanes

They also had food specials - $5.99 Tacos and $8.99 Philly Steak Sandwich

The place was kinda empty, but kinda full.  The bar area was full of patrons watching the hockey game on the TV's.  The dining area was more empty with a few people having a dinner.  There's a projector in the dining area that was showing the Blackhawks game on the wall.  The waitress was friendly and fast with our drink orders.  Not a bad place to hand out and certainly a good place to wait for a table.

I might be a little bias on my review but I just love this place. I travel far to come hangout at this place b/c the staff are awesome (once they get to know you). The food is the typical bar food but I am a little bum that they took away my favorite dipping sauce for my chicken fingers.  The drinks are your standard drinks. It's a great place to hangout with friends and family. You have to go on Tuesday or Friday nights and meet the awesome bartender (Christa)...she's the BEST!

I love the burgers here, the staff could use some cleaning up though.
