    Great service.

    Went there on a regular Wednesday night, not knowing what to expect as far a crowd. Dinner was good and  I'd definitely order the pulled pork sliders again- however when we were attempting to leave it took us a solid 45 minutes to get our bill, which we had asked for a few times. I was confused by the delay, as there did not seem to be a whole lot going on.

    My friend and I stuck around the bar and came in and out throughout the night. The crowed picked up slightly but regardless of the activity our bartender Lindsey was attentive and very fun to get along with. She definitely convinced us to come back again and told us Tuesday night trivia was a solid staple of the bar. Excited for my next visit!

    I usually go to Hawkeye's for lunch during work for a quick meal and a cocktail. The food is average and the drinks are good. The environment is friendly and most times, I never have any issue. The last time I went, though, my friend and I noticed that there were gnats flying around us while we were eating. There wasn't a swarm of gnats, per se, but  definitely enough to make enjoying your meal extremely difficult. We continuously had to swat away these annoying flying insects.

    When I was able to get the attention of  our friendly and talkative waitress to mention the flying vermin, she casually mentioned that they have been having a problem with gnats lately. She added that "they" had no idea where they were coming from....*Insert Cricket Sound Here*

    Wrong move.

    We immediately discontinued our meal, paid the check, and left. We left with the absolute certainty that we would not ever be returning to Hawkeye's.

    I'll miss my little lunch getaway place, but any restaurant that knowingly has flying insects around food and drinks is not a place that I want to dine.

    Came on a Tuesday night, good drink specials ($5 16 oz Fat Tire) and the wings were tasty, nice size and right amount of heat w/extra sauce (ranch) on the side for dipping, perfect for splitting between two people. Our server Kelly was great, super friendly and gave good recommendations and prompt service. Overall fun bar, will be coming back.

    If you're stopping in for a beer to watch a game or kill time, Hawkeye's is a perfectly okay place to do that. The food is mediocre though, I'd recommend stopping at Potbelly's or if you want something more substantial, walking over to Three Aces.

    My boyfriend and I don't pay for cable which really has never been an issue until sports games we like are on. We always go to Hawkeye to watch a game. Being from the west coast those games usually don't make it on TV especially MLB. But hawkeye has the MLB package and happily changes the channel for us to watch the game we wish. They are nice and the staff has always been friendly. NO, it's not the best food, but it really is a lot better than most bar food. Never been truly disappointed. Beer list is pretty decent and decently priced as they offer beers such as Fat Tire from a can not a bottle so it's priced more fairly.

    We enjoy, we approve.

    Delicious food. I recommends their pulled pork or their salads. Wings are super crispy and the pizza is just ok. We come here usually when we have a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> voucher.

    Used to be my favorite place to go Tuesday nights for trivia.  However, drink and food prices have been rising and specials have been axed.  The service is atrocious.  I have sat for 15 minutes without having anyone come by to take an order with the waitresses standing and chatting not more than 20 feet in plain view (this is fairly common).  I have witnessed several tables leave after not being attended to in a timely manner.  If the place was dirt cheap, I could understand it, but at 5+ bucks for a beer and food averaging over 10 bucks a plate, you can do better in the area.  Would not recommend anymore.  You can find better bars to play trivia at.

    Server forgot to put in out order at first. Then our burgers were way over cooked. One of my buddies could only ate like 1/4 of it. Cheese curds were good though. I understand its a bar and they salt food cuz it makes you thirsty thus more drink sales yada yada BUT the tots were way too flippn salty. Server kinda sucked too she might've just been new, didn't know beers or menu or specials at all, why do you work there then?

    Think B movie. It's not good, its not bad, but you'll see it through till the end because it's keeping you entertained. I almost asked the bartender for her hand in marriage after she told me they served tots. Yes, tots. Fried, golden, crispy, puffy little clouds of deliciousness. Add an IPA and I was sold.

    Hawkeye's is a great festive place to go.  I have been going to Hawkeye's for the past 12 years after party hangout maybe five times a year.  I love their chicken wing's and hamburger's.  The staff are great people I just had my husband's 50th birthday party in their party room downstairs.  We had 45 people come and we had a blast.  Our bartender Jessica was great and so were Keith and Chris.  They made sure everything was running smoothly.  The DJ played all our favorites we danced all night.  It's always a great time at Hawkeye's.

    This is one of my favorite spots for lunch when I decide to get out of the office.

    The food is always good and the drinks are reasonably priced. Plus they have Ranger in a can (awesome).

    This place can get a little crowded at times and some of the bartenders are not very attentive (servers are always good, however) but I still enjoy coming here for some delicios lunch or after work drinks.

    I have some fond memories of this place...

    I was searching for the best MNF special and this was not the bar to go to! The chicken wings used to be 20c, they're now 40c, and they're tiny!! Drink specials were not great and the burgers/appetizers were overpriced.

    I'll look elsewhere for cheap wing/drink specials for my Bears football viewing!

    I decided to give this place a few tries because it is close to my apt and I have been disappointed every time. But this time was by far the worst.

    1) The server was very cold and it seemed like she had better things to do besides be at work.. like playing with her hair or on her phone.

    2) I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The server didn't put in the buffalo sauce in the computer. We had to flag her down to have her even come check on our table.

    3) When the check came I was charged extra for the buffalo sauce  that I received when most of my wrap was gone.

    4) When she brought the check I asked to see the manager.. she came back moments later with the wrap comped but no manager. I told her thank you for comping the wrap but I wanted to see a manager to let him know of her horrible service.

    5) The manager came and wasn't apologetic... he just reiterated the fact he took the wrap off. He looked like he was high and said he was dealing with other issues at the time she said I wanted to see a manager. I would of rather waited 5 minutes then having her come back with it comped.

    6) I have been a server for over 5 years and this place does not follow any of the normal courtesy laws of being a restaurant.  

    If they fixed the service and the management the food this place would get three stars. The chili fries tasted like old burnt chili. The wrap was decent nothing special.

    I hope they get a new manager and maybe some servers who actually care about making good tips. If I was one of the owners of this place I would make some changes fast because your locals are not happy.

    Got rejected from here for wearing a tank top on a monday night in the middle of summer.
    I am a man. The bouncer said "if I had boobs I could have gotten in."
    Not impressed with any of their drink specials and they have food specials that are appealing by price but were not so appealing by taste.

    I've been to Hawkeye's multiple times (afternoons, nights - I live down the block), and I always hope it gets better - but it's always continues to be sub-par.

    The food is your typical bar food - over priced and not the biggest portions ever. I would recommend only going on Tuesdays for dollar burgers with trivia. That being said, the trivia also takes forever - compared to about five other bars that i've been to with the same trivia company and set-up. The host drags it out, and there is just way too many people playing. So, if you have work in the morning the next day - don't let the early start time fool you...

    Every time I've been here the service is absolutely terrible too. The waitresses take forever to take your order. And sorry, but you're definitely not going to get a refill ever. There not even really pleasant which just drags them down more....

    I like the atmosphere and feel of the bar itself - dimly lit, decorative sports bar - But I rather go somewhere else down the block.

    Some things in life are understandable luxuries--like splurging for a foot massage or tickets to a Bulls game. They carry some manner of specialty, charm, or simply quality which makes it worth it to some.

    Hawkeyes, however, is not one of these experiences. Hawkeyes is, sadly, more akin to buying Diet Mr. Pib off the clearance rack, i.e. always a bad decision. It only leaves one with a bad taste in their mouth and a belly full of regret. Though, at least the Mr. Pib is inexpensive. The same cannot be said for Hawkeye's new grand vision.

    See, for awhile, Hawkeyes was your standard run-of-the-mill sports bar. Seeing as it was unassuming and inexpensive, this quickly made it a nexus for graduate students and sports fans alike. It wasn't ashamed of who it was and did it proudly. All was well in the land of Hawkeyes.

    Alas! Along came more fancy, en vogue places (e.g. Three Aces) which made Hawkeyes suddenly feel like the fat girl in the prom picture. This caused her, Hawkeye's, to change who she was, and in turn she simply went from a charming fat girl to an overweight clubber with no sense of appropriate dress.

    This is all to say that Hawkeyes has recently changed its menu. So, on top of a shitty, inattentive wait staff (even by bar standards) you now get overpriced food with 1/2 the quality of comparable places. If the food was gone, I could forgive all the other sins, but the fact you are paying gastro-pub prices for mediocre bar food is simply unacceptable.

    It's not enough to put on the dress and slosh on some make-up, Hawkeyes. It's also not enough to "revamp" your menu without competent chefs. I highly suspect they never consulted an actual chef and simply googled menu items that sounded nice. It's pretty clear that whoever is in the kitchen has little respect for him/herself let alone you.

    Since it is a bar, I might as well touch on the beer. And as far as that goes, they're passable. They're passable in the same way that 7/11 is passable lately for craft selection. They have a few IPAs, a few hefes, and a few fruity beers. No ales other than Sam Adams. Again, compared to places like Three Aces, though, their selection is about as interesting as a sexual encounter off craigslist--it'll get you there, but you won't talk about it in the morning.

    I came in here because I was at the potbellys for a charity event, and after my philanthropic festivities I dealt like I deserved a giant feast.

    On the outside, it looks like your typical Chicago pub, and on the inside it looks the same, except for the plethora of TV's (a major plus).  They had a nice patio, but it was hot out, plus it was just me and a friend, so we didn't want to look like were on a date.  Thus, we sat at the bar.  
    On tap it didn't look like they had many beers.  I asked the server if they had any IPAs, and by the looks of the place I was afraid they wouldn't even know what an IPA is (its happened to me before).  Turns out they had several bottles and I had the chance to ineib' with a bev' I've never had before. Based on this I assume their beer selection is quite large.  Plus some friends later were able to order some fancy pants raspberry cider, so I assume they've got the goods behind the bar.

    Severice was extremely kind and responsive, and even let me know how many bottles were left so I wouldn't get my hopes up.  

    We didn't have any food, but the wings looked and smelled delicious (almost tempting my dieting friend to indulge). Something well definitely try if we come back.

    Finally, what definitely bulbs this place up to a 5 star is the service.  I completely hooded on a coupon.  Instead of blowing me off, they gave me a discount on part of my meal, plus they gave me another coupon of equal value.  Awesome.  
    Definitely somewhere to go if you're in the neighborhood.

    Came back again here with my sister after a long day of moving into my new apartment. I was hoping it would be as decent as before, but I was wrong. We came at 3:30 pm, and the place was almost empty except a few people at the bar. That was to be expected. What wasn't expected was the long ass wait it took for service. Our server took her time coming to our table for orders, water, etc, but she was still pretty nice. However, even though there was only one other table occupied in the restaurant, it still took almost 30 minutes to get our veggie burgers. There's no reason a veggie burger should take that long, unless you're growing the ingredients yourselves.

    Anyway, the veggie burger itself is another story. The price for a plain burger with LTO and a bun is $8.95. This doesn't include cheese, sauces, or any other toppings. Our burgers came out to almost 13 dollars each. There's no reason a burger should cost 9 bucks without cheese and sauce. The toppings I can understand. Our burger itself was a little too charred as well, giving the entire burger a burnt taste. It was kind of bland overall without the toppings or sauces. I'm glad we were able to use our 10% off from a Yelp check-in at the end. Definitely was the highlight of a mediocre lunch.

    This place has terrible terrible service. I am not saying this as a one time visitor, or even a two time visitor. As a person who has a sibling that lives across from this place and therefore finds Hawkeye's a convenient dining option for burgers, I will strongly say that this place has TERRIBLE service.

    First of all, it takes forever to get a waiter to come and give you water, much less take your order. The food then also takes forever to come and only then does the waiters refill your water. While one might assume that maybe this is the behavior of one faulty waiter, don't be fooled. This is a very serious management problem.

    If you want a pretty good burger, you've come to the right place. But if you want to enjoy a pretty good burger while having a good dining experience, drive/walk the other way immediately!

    Haweye's--I loved you. You used to have groupons all the time. But now, my old friend, the good times are done. Not only do you not have groupons anymore but you have sneakily raised your prices. What was once a 6 dollar beer became 7.50 in the two short weeks I was absent. Also you know that since we started our relationship Hawkeyes, I have always adored your salty chicken fingers. Why do you force me to buy chicken fingers and fries/totes separately so the cost 10.50 rather than a nice low combined price of say 8.50? For the love that we once had bar, when my guest and I order chicken fingers and tots, a 12 inch 1 topping pizza and a single beer for a total of 33.00 I have to end our relationship.

    You were great and I respect that even when you changed your menu l the food remained the same, but why the price jump after so many good times together? I really thought we had something special, but it is over now. I will miss you.

    Don't believe the hype. I hear everybody talk about this from their good 'ol college days at UIC.

    I checked it out and it was very ehh.. Perhaps not on a good night. I'll have to give it another chance but I was not impressed.

    I think all the people that hype it up are too fond of their good 'ol college days when they started drinking without a fake ID. Those good times are over for this place.

    I tried this place twice.  First time I had a burger and so did my wife.  At the end of our meal we realized it was something like "dollar burger night", that we would have definitely ordered if we knew about it, meaning the server never told us.  When we asked him when we got the check, his attitude was like "oh~ that's too bad..." Dude! you are the last person who can say that in that situation!  Anyway, the burger was ok.  
    The second time I tried a reuben, which was good.  I guess the food is solid 3.5 Stars, but I am still pissed by the server from my first visit, so I will settle with 3.

    Being the Iowa girl that I am, I suppose I expected "Hawkeye" to mean Iowa Hawkeyes. I saw nothing that resembled Iowa Hawkeye fanfare,  and certainly no black and gold.*  The decor was loaded with hockey themes and Blackhawks fan stuff.

    The food is OK. Just OK. I had the Caribbean grilled salmon with mango salsa, grilled veggies, and wild rice.  Sounds kinda good, right? Wrong. The salmon, while cooked very nicely, was incredibly small. I mean beyond regular portion small. The veggies resembled more like something left over the grill a bit too long.  I don't count an abundance of onions as veggies. I'm an onion fan, I just don't want THAT many of them. The wild rice was a fancier version of Rice-A-Roni.

    The plus is that the service was alright and the owner is friendly. Their beer selection is limited.

    Do yourself a favor if stop in: stick to the burgers/sandwiches or bar food, because that's what it seems like they do best.

    Overall, Hawkeye's was disappointing, for sure. The folks that drug me here are losing points for bad recommendations as of late. I won't rush back here anytime soon on my own.

    *No stars were lost for lack of a Herky or black and gold. In fact, they may play Iowa games and just weren't on the night I was there. Go Hawks.

    So this place, needs an upgrade... on their food

    BURGER: Pretty good for bar food, but with everything around the area u can find a burger for cheaper and tastier
    FRIES: I am a fry fanatic, THESE FRIES=NO GO, get the taters
    MASH POTATOES and MAC n CHEESE: didn't try em, but by the expression on my friend's face and her reaction, "taste like cafeteria food and cardboard" GROSS

    price=need to be lower for that kinda food, 10 dollar burgers, i would rather make the trip to KUMAS, sorry..

    Hawkeye's is a faux-Irish bar that's really a sports bar, and it's not good at either. It's tacky and garishly decorated. This effect is compounded by their bouncers checking ID's in ill-fitting shirts and ties while the waitstaff and bartenders -- women only; of course -- are dressed in tight denim, little sweatshirts, low cut tops and the like.

    There are two sides to the location on the first floor. One side is a long room made narrow from the large, double sided bar. Tables surround the perimeter and a small elevated location in the rear. The other side is a dining room, which I have never entered. Bathrooms and a smaller bar are downstairs and in summer there is a patio open outside. There are televisions everywhere ringing the bar, yet sight-lines are difficult no matter where you sit. It's a strange combination.

    Service ranges from simply uncaring to actively poor from the waitresses. Bartenders, on the other hand, are nice and pleasant.

    Food is good, but nothing exciting -- basic bar food with a few extras present on the menu. It's high in price but of good quality and large portions.

    The problem is the drinks. The shot specials are $4.75?  Jack Daniels cocktails when on special are $6.00? Those are some not-so-special-specials. On top of that, this is the only bar in the city I've been to that uses an electronic pour control system. It comes off as cheap, as does the bar fruit kept in paper containers with no covers on top of the bar.  I had the pleasure of watching a bartender and waitress fix white russians using half & half from those little plastic single-servings you get at a diner. An old-fashioned was made from fruit muddled with a coffee packet of sugar, bitters, a pour of bourbon and then topped off with lemon-lime soda. You may be better off just sticking to beer.

    All in all, overpriced and poor quality. If you want to watch a UFC bout or college game of some kind, this may be a good place to go if you're in the neighborhood. Anything else, I would go elsewhere.

    Italian Beef Crawl Stop #1: Hawkeye's.

    I've been going to Hawkeye's over the years and was glad to hear this would be the first stop on Italian Beef Crawl 2011. We loaded up the school bus and headed off to Hawkeye's, a Taylor Street mainstay and the buckets of beer came rolling in. Taking up almost every seat in the dining room, we all watched college football and waited in anticipation of the first beef.

    There was nary a seat to be had and anyone not beef crawling in the room must have thought us a pack of hooligans.  Fortunately for us, we far outnumbered everyone else. It was really kind of the bar to let us use their place to buy drinks and eat our own food and the server was attentive given the high number of people we brought along.

    There were lots of TVs and everyone was out checking out college football. There is a lot of class to the dining room and the bar will fill with UIC peeps on the weekend nights. Drinks are cheap and the TVs are plentiful at Hawkeye's - go check it out!

    Stopped in the other night for a cold beer, and a friendly crowd and I got both!

    Hawkeye's was hopping.  The bar was packed, the patio was full and we didn't want to sit at a table so some nice people at the bar rearranged themselves so that we could sit down together.  Nice.  

    We ordered our beers and sat sipping them.   The manager came over and welcomed us to the bar.  Another nice touch.  And the bartender was on her game grabbing us beers when we needed them and quick with a funny quip or two.

    And the people?  Real as real can be.  There was one couple from out of town, a couple of guys from the neighborhood and the manager of another place down the street who recognized me and came over to say hi.  And this was on a Friday night!  I thought it would be overrun with students but it wasn't.

    We didn't eat (having just come from dinner across the street) but the food that the guys next to me were eating looked pretty good.  Huge nachos dripping with cheese and a burger with all the toppings.

    If sports is your thing- there are plenty of TV's for you to watch it on. And the ambiance in this place is pure neighborhood bar.

    We left happier than we went in.  And isn't that just what you want from a neighborhood bar?

    I don't really know why my friends and classmates continue to go to this bar.  The beer is overpriced, the waitstaff is rude and inattentive, and the food is mediocre.  I'd be perfectly content if we never went to Hawkeye's ever again.

    Its only redeeming quality is that it's close to the UIC Medical District, so you meet a lot of other people in various health professions (I'm in Physical Therapy).  But really, you can go to any of the other bars on Taylor St. instead, and you'll get better food and drink specials, better atmosphere, and better service.

    Hawkeye's is a great place to cut loose!  Real close to UIC medical district, there are always people here.  Grab a shuttle to and from Bulls and Hawks games and avoid United Center parking because you parked at the Hawkeye's lot.  I'll always love Hawkeye's

    BTW...just an FYI...It's named Hawkeye's after the character from the M*A*S*H* movie/TV show back in the 80's.

    Hawkeye's is one of the major hangouts for UIC students (and Chicago PD). The food is decent, and the place is generally a good time on a Thursday or Friday night. Don't plan on having a happy Designated Driver, though, as they're nearly spend as much on pop as you will on beer with their poor policy of expensive pop and no free refills. You can get a can or bottle of beer cheaper than a pop many nights of the week, and a pitcher of beer is always cheaper than pop pint-for-pint. It seems like poor policy and a lack of social conscious from this establishment.

    At a recent visit for lunch we were given a sandwich version of a wrap we ordered, which included fries instead of the fruit cup it was supposed to come with. The waitress seemed completely disinterested in the fact we received the wrong food, and even after we said we would fix it ourselves by just taking off the bread and making it a wrap if she could get us a wrap and a fruit cup.

    She came back, and asked if we could just make due with what was there because "they were running low on wraps".

    Not out, just running low.

    Our stunned silence was only ended after she also asked if she could charge us for the fruit cup. Absolute madness.

    Pros: Decent Crowds, Occasional cheap-ish beer
    Cons: Some bad, slow service, expensive pop with no Free Refills keeps DD's away

    I totally thought this place was going to have a M*A*S*H theme.

    Bummer.

    I imagined it looking like The Swamp when you walked in and having them serve only martinis made with booze from a homemade still and grape nehis.

    I pictured sexy nurses traipsing around and the dj announcing songs over a crackling intercom.

    To my chagrin, it was nothing like that. Not even a little bit.

    In efforts to "switch things up," I dragged my sister and her manfriend to Hawkeye's to watch an Iowa football game.  While it's certainly not the raging time you'll find at places like noted Iowa bar Sedgwick's, Hawkeye's is still a good time.

    The bar food was tasty... the nachos were huge and more than enough to feed 3 hungry people.  I dug the buckets of beer and our server was attentive and friendly.  From what I recall (there were many, many beers involved), prices were fair, too.

    I need to get out here more often for sporting events.  There are plenty of TVs, it's crowded, but not so packed you can't get a table and the crowd seemed super-friendly.  The best part?  No one batted an eye at my crew's creepy "Rock Out With Your Hawk Out" t-shirts.

    Hangout bar and restaurant plucked from Anycollegetown, USA.   Can't rightfully give it one star because it really isn't there for me or my age set.  Four stars if I'm a UIC junior.  Five stars if  I'm a UIC sophomore with a decent fake ID.  

    After 15 minutes of listening to the table of about a dozen police officers we were seated next to recapping the latest "Rambo" movie and no servers in sight we decided to head elsewhere.  OK inside and out but smelled like last night's spill mat.

    I've been going here for a few years now. Never had a problem with the service , even on the busiest of nights. Waitresses are easy on the eye's. Bar food is quite good in my opinion. 25 cent wings on Monday's... but I must mention that I think they serve a less then desirable wing on Monday's. Kinda scrawny... more like a sparrow's wing.

    Secret parking is available if you know where to look. Owner is cool , once gave my friends and I Hawk's tickets for that night's game. Nothing was said just came over and said have a nice time guy's. Round trip bus service is available for most UC events and concerts. Used the shuttle service for the first time last year for the return of the real Van Halen. Sorry never a fan of that Hagar crap. The bus was a blast. $5 round trip... all aboard don't forget your to go cup !! Bottoms up.

    After a day of unpacking and moving, we mostly gravitated towards this place tonight because of its patio seating (outdoor dining in Chicago during summer nights is so so sweet). This place is your typical American bar type of fare with fairly large portions and friendly, laidback service.

    My friends got the daily special: Chicken Parmesan. The noodles were SOGGY! as if it had been sitting boiling for hours. Some parts of the chicken was dry and the best part was probably the accompanying slices of French buttered bread.

    My only complaints about my order of Jerk Chicken Sandwich  was that I didn't like the bun. It may have claimed to be a gourmet bakery bun but it was just super dry so I ate my sandwich out (like protein style at In N Out). The chicken was flavorful though some parts a tad dry but tasty enough that I didn't even use the honey-lime dressing on the side. They give you generous slices of tomatoes, red onions and nearly a half platterful of french fries.

    Would I come back here again? It's not really my scene and not really my favorite kind of food so probably not unless it's to go with the flow if friends want to.

    I don't know why I don't learn?!  Before dining at a place, I really should read the Yelp reviews!  Had I done so, I would have realized this is a place where you go for beer...beer and more beer?  Or, maybe a burger and fries...to go along with the beer!?   Instead, I traipsed in with not one, but three friends...in hopes of getting an adequately prepared brunch.  HA!?  First, although the menu says, "create your own omelette" and it doesn't provide a list of options, when I attempted to "create my own omelette" from ingredients found in other omelettes on the menu, I was told this was not doable.  I was given about four choices:  bacon or sausage, cheese, peppers and mushrooms.   If I am not mistaken, that was it.  Four or five items.  But, why can't I order an omelette using the items that are included in the omelettes on the menu?  

    The next disappointment:  Although the server was sweet as gold, she was soooooo slow.  When we finally received our food, the one item I had expressly ordered (a biscuit) was absent.  When I asked, I was told "its on its way".  A HALF HOUR later -- no, I am not exaggerating -- the waitress brought this cold, hard THING.   As a southern girl, I cannot call that hockey puck a "biscuit".  It was so dry, and so hard.  Why on earth would any self-respecting chef...or even cook...send something like that out?   Anyway, am sure this is a terrific place for beer, beer and more beer.    But, if you are looking for edible food...keep looking.

    Hawkeye's is a good standby neighborhood bar when you're not sure where else to go.  They have quite a few TVs and it's usually not that packed.  It is a bit smoky in the bar area, though.  They have ok food for the most part (stay away from the wraps) and some pretty good food specials (1/2 price pizza on Wednesdays, but you have to make sure the server gives you the discount on your check - they sometimes 'forget').  

    Update12/16: I don't think it's cool for a server to offer to do a shot with you, bring a shots over, and charge you $6 per shot, including hers.  Minus one star for general un-coolness.  

    Overall, nice place, and they've got their own parking lot about a block away.
