Red Ivy

Used to love this spot, but looks like its under new management that likes to bully girls.  We ended up leaving after we saw management pushing people around.  There are plenty of better bars and dance places in the area, Lionshead or even try John Barleycorn

If you bleed maroon and gold this is the place to be on game day.  Plenty of great TV's to watch the Gophers, and drink specials during the game! I was here to cheer on the boys Friday night and was treated to $4 Jack and Cokes! They even blew the goal horn when the Gophers scored! If I find myself back in Wrigleyville again this will be my first stop.

This place is utterly horrible.  First, the bouncer at the door basically yelled at me when I didn't take my hood off right away.  Forgive me, but it's winter in Chicago.  But honestly, considering the drunk idiots he probably has to deal with on a nightly basis, his grumpiness is somewhat justifiable.

The place is packed with the scum of the earth.  I began to lose faith in humanity as every guy seemed interested in fighting or getting his bone on, and if he wasn't going to do one of those things he was sure as hell going to do the other.  Most of the girls are wasted beyond comprehension just to deal with the flood of bros relentlessly hitting on them.

Within the four minutes it took my girlfriend to get a drink, some jerk on her right tried to hit on her in front of his own girlfriend, while the girl on her left insulted her and demanded that she move.

We just wanted a place to chill, have a few drinks, and dance to some top 40.  What we got was a dance floor full of drunk jerks elbowing each other and grinding like the friction in their jeans was the only means of powering the city.

I've been to this place twice now, and both times I left within ten minutes.  If you're interested in getting in a fight for no reason or scoring a chick that is too drunk to stand, this place is for you.  If you just want to dance and have fun, go somewhere else.
