Q Bar and Grill

The southside has Bourbon Street...we get QBar! --
A little more on the divey end, but that's usually how I like my bars. ;) --
This little mega complex has something to keep everyone happy!
Good setup of pool tables, areas for dinning, free bag play, playback some serious karokee going on last night!, and the section where they feature live music is great! Great sound and lighting! Love the tall booth seating! They get some good bands in here! And the price is right! $5 cover (free if not seeing the band) - decent selection of beers. Have the 2brothers on tap ;) -- good prices on booze.
Very interesting and friendly people! -- got pranked when we walked in by a regular who checked our ids and wanted to charge us cover..until the doorman seen what was going on, called him out. Definitely not the place for stiffs! Told that guy he owed us a drink btw! --
Had a great time with some off the wall people!...close to home..or close enough when you get that bourbon st itch! ;) -- Do believe we`ll be back!! --

Our waitress, was slow, and didn't really check on us at all.  It took 20-30 minutes to be acknowledged, and another 15 minutes for one pitcher of beer. She also overcharged us for beer, the specials board said it was 6 bucks and we were charged 8.  She even confirmed that it was 6 bucks!!  
I don't know what happened there, it seems like it could be a fun place, and I'll come back, but I think next time, I'll pregame a bit.

This place is under new management, and has improved quite a bit. Finally, no cover charge!! At times, I just wanted to hang out and maybe watch a game on the weekends, but there was always a cover charge even if I wasn't interested in the band. Now you only pay to get in the separate band room if there is a special act playing. Much better. The food is decent, and a lot of cute waitresses.

I was in to watch the Bulls game and ordered the quesadillas. The quesadillas themselves are just average and I only order them because the salsa they have is homemade, authentic and amazing! NOT ANYMORE!! The salsa has been changed to what is clearly commercial grade out of a can. When I asked the manager what happened, he said he had too many complaints. WHAAAAT! I wasn't born yesterday, and clearly I was given a line of BS on a decision he made to cut cost. I get it, making fresh salsa takes time and requires fresh ingredients which costs more. Just tell the truth next time, it goes a long way.
