President's Lounge

Fun times! Came here with friends for drinks during the winter time and had a blast. Ciroc Obamas are great drinks that taste delicious but will get the job done. Music's pretty good and there's a range of ages which is cool. Fun place and I'd go there again, so fun. And as Montez G. mentioned, you have to be let in.

You have to be BUZZED into this place. You just cant walk-in. I like.

This is a Bears Bar; Live DJ who is on point with the jams. A lot of old-old heads were in here with a mixture of mid-age peeps; so I felt very very comfortable and eased and not if I needed to be alert. This is the kind of place you can let your guard down in. The 2 Barista was great, funny, and attentive to a full house, WOW!.

GOTTA find out when my co-worker is taking me back. I am a newby to Chicago living downtown so it was nice to get from the stuck-up bars around Michigan Ave and sit around real life loving peeps.  ONE!

IF you love freedom of speech..DO NOT GO HERE!!! It's a 30 and over crowd, but if you speak an adjective. Beat down... one would think there's children in the house.  I've never seen a more intense as in rules and regulations in a karaoke place ( there maybe different themes on different  nights if so, i'm have a suspicious feeling they're regulating them as they did  this night ).  There's no script to karaoke, you do you, freelance, be it on the lyrics or ad lib.  Adjectives were used by a Sistah that was on the mic, and  she did apologize for them.. nothing a 30 & over crowd haven't heard  before ( teenager use worse ). Long story short, the karaoke dj approached and said you can't do that. He also approach another Sistah and told her she couldn't dance in the back round or sing with her friend.. WOW, the celebrities I know don't act like that.. Hood mentality..  After all that after thought drama.. the bartender had something to add, which was based on his emotions. He tried to explain, some body momma was in there ( relative to the owner or manager ) and you just can't say adjectives, out of respect. Now it's wasn't harsh like that. Never the less, this is a public establishment and if ya' momma haven't heard this by now,, well lets just say " she frontin".. smh.. Oh, after all that, he wouldn't give  the same Sistah a glass of water ( she paid for several drinks ).  He said the lights were on and he couldn't give any drinks.. It's water not alcohol.  So  I ordered some water and the Sistah behind the bar gave it to me and I gave it to the Cutie with the adjectives..lol.. All she could say was Wow, in regards to the bartender and i think the whole night.. so on  that note. to my New Yorkers, Cali crew, Floridian people..  I would advise to skip this venue and try somewhere more people / out of town friendly environment. If you ever end up here just smile at the fair skin bartender with the under the lip piercing. He's the emotional guy that likes to play tuff with females and refuse to give them water when they have been spending their $$$ there. Also if ya' momma is in the house please remember this is a public establishment and we are paying our $$$. SO IN ALL REALITY WE KEEP THIS SHIT OPEN not Ya' MOMMA/ No disrespect intended . I just saying, people can make you and when you treat them with DISRESPECT, you break ya'self...

Bystander listening to the whole scenario.. So wrong!!!
