Moe's Cantina

Went here around 5PM-6PM last night (Saturday). My group of friends and I had been day drinking all day, so I'm sure we were super obnoxious but it probably didn't matter since there was NO ONE else in the whole entire place except for us and the staff. We all thought it was super bizarre, because the place is huge and you would think there would be some peeps in there on a Saturday night.

Anyway, we just grabbed some drinks there. Margaritas were decent as was the chicken quesadilla my friend got. Certainly nothing to write home about. BUT - the sangria was disgusting. I'm not even sure what they use to make it, but I told my friends that mine tasted like nail polish remover. They all thought I was exaggerating until they each took a sip of it and agreed - it seriously tasted like acetone. That is how each of them described it. I had to send it back and ask for another drink because that's how yucky it was.

Oh well. I'm not the biggest fan of Moe's in River North, so it's not a surprise that I don't love this location either.

Stay away from this place. You're not missing Anythjng. Like all of the Moe's Cantina locations, the bouncers just hate themselves and take it out on other people. I've never been denied entry to this place, I just think the workers are terrible. Its Wrigleyvile.. what do you expect?

I rarely write reviews, but sometimes I have to speak my mind.  This bar deserves every bad review it's gotten.  All the reviews say they've got the worst food, drinks, and staff.  I, however, had a huge problem with their bouncer, some skinny d-bag with hipster glasses.  

We went there for my cousin's birthday party.  Upon arriving, the bouncer asked my boyfriend to remove his hat.  He did so and assumed it was now ok to walk in.  The bouncer took this as some kind of affront to his authority and ordered us to leave without explanation.  Obviously, we were pissed, and after calling my family inside, they talked to him.  Despite letting in drunken slobs and half-passed out girls, he refuses to change his mind and lies to them by saying we tried to push our way in.  (Seriously?  There was no line into this loser dump of a place, and we were in no hurry to get inside since we had already heard about it's bad rep.)   My family thought he was being homophobic, although I would hope that in a city like Chicago (and at a bar that's right next to Boystown) that wouldn't be the case. After that kind of rude behavior, my cousin decided to take her party of over a dozen people to Barleycorn next door, and Moe's lost out on the profit they could have made from the shots and beer we ordered.  

Stay clear of this place.  There's a reason why the majority of its reviews are 1-star.
