    I really enjoyed this place and glad we came here. They have a jukebox which makes me very happy.  Our waitress was great and gave us tastes of beer before we committed to a pint! The food was great, I wish we stayed longer!

    I've been visiting Seven Ten for years and have always generally considered the place to be decent. I'd never really had a problem with my order or the service. Lately though, that doesn't seem to be the case.

    I ordered take out from them a few months back and they screwed up my order. I had to wait at the bar while they re-cooked my order per my specifications. The manager never came over to apologize or offer to discount my meal.

    Then last night I go there with a group of friends and they screw up my order again!!! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with lettuce and tomato ONLY. I repeated myself 3 times to the waiter and he indicated that he understood the order. They bring my order and it's not what I ordered so I send it back. Obviously explaining again that I ONLY wanted lettuce and tomato on the wrap. You'd think that they'd get the order right, wouldn't you?? Well, think again... They bring the order out a once again and IT'S STILL WRONG!!!! It's like the dude wasn't even listening to me!!! I was flabbergasted.

    Seriously, I was outdone. The waiter was Hispanic but that's no excuse and I didn't let him get away with the 'no habla ingles' excuse despite having a friend with me who  spoke Spanish. I tell them for the THIRD time to please bring me a wrap with chicken, tomato and lettuce.

    Finally, the order comes out the way I'd requested it the first time! I'm sure I got a wad of spit on it as well but I can't prove it so I'll just leave that alone.

    After all of that the bill comes and my meal is on the receipt!! Seriously?? I can't believe they had the never to even think I should pay for something they f*cked up royally. I could've complained but I was tired, intoxicated and too damn annoyed to even be bothered.  SMH  I won't be going back to Seven Ten anytime soon needless to say.

    Unfortunately, there is no option to give no stars because I would. The food is good, but the lanes are worn down and barely work. Also, the customer service is horrible. Michael Cannon the manager is the worst manager I have encountered respective to customer service and being friendly with guests.   Also, beware if using a groupon they try to rip you off and say what you paid on groupon was only a deposit and your receipt will reflect the full price of the lane and bowling.  Also, they try to sneak in extra charges for shoes that you did not rent!! My group and myself were extremely disappointed with our experience.  We expressed to Frank the hostess that one of ours lanes was not working and we did not want it, only to be told by Michael we were going to be held partly responsible for it, for the few throws we did get on the lane and that we should have told the waitress instead of Frank. I have never been to an establishment where the customer is held responsible for the pitfalls and communication breakdowns between staff. We informed Frank, the hostess, whom even came over and witnessed the malfunctioning lane himself and told our party he would take care of it, but from Michael's perspective that was not acceptable and we should have told out "waitress".   The worst part of the malfunctioning lane was, the lanes we were forced to use were not the lanes we reserved online and prepaid. When we arrived we were told our lanes were taken and the reservations were only beneficial for reserving a time, the lanes selected online mean nothing. What a disappointment, who makes reservations if the reservation will mean nothing when you arrive?? Again, this ridiculous lack of organization was communicated by Michael Cannon, the "GM".   Therefore not only were we stuck with a broken lane, but it was one we had not even reserved or paid for. This establishment is completely inefficient, from providing bowling shoes to generating an accurate bill. Our bill had to be printed three times, by the GM, Michael, before it was correct. If you are extremely patient, and don't care much about functioning lanes, good customer service, or being charged correctly, then come here. Otherwise if you are a consumer that desires to maintain any sense of sanity, and wants an enjoyable experience, run in the other direction. I wish we would have opted to go downtown to Lucky Strikes, the groupon was not worth it!!!   If the owner of this place wants to keep a business going, he needs to train his staff on customer service, basic efficiency skills, accuracy and honesty...and he needs to start with Michael the GM!

    This place is OK. They seem to have new waiters every time I come and some how something is always wrong with my order. I tend to come here for lunch only so I can't provide any info for dinner or late night. The food is par and nothing special about it. Kinda pricey for a sandwich but given its location the prices are reasonable I guess....

    Soo I have a few places in need that need reviewing, but I had to think strategically (did I use that in a YELP review) about what I wanted for my 100th review & what would I say on my birthday (teehee).

    Anywho, I was looking for a place to watch the Alabama and LSU game. I knew that the Alabama bar was not going to work today because it would have been a production (think get there 2 hours prior and hope you can get a seat). My requirements were, quality television, unobstructed views, decent food, and reasonably priced drinks (since I was going to be there for all 4 quarters).

    A friend recommended Seven Ten Lanes.. and it did not disappoint. I walked in to a pretty spacious bar area and plopped down. I asked the bartender (Robin, I think) if we could switch one of the tvs to the game at kick-off. DONE. Asked me was I eating and was I drinking.. YAAY for service.

    I started with the Fried Pickles and they were terrible. I got nervous that my minimum requirement of decent was not going to happen. The bartender said get the chicken philly with no mushrooms, light onions, and jalepenos on the side. I said SOLD. IT came out and when I tell you this thing was DELICIOUS! Oh goodness. I couldn't have been happier. My friend ordered the catfish nuggets and that did not disappoint either.

    Then let's talk about the beer selection. From drafts to bottles from coast to coast to country to country, I was in heaven. I decided to work my way through their Weiss beers, a few locals, and some ciders. I couldn't complain.

    The short, I left with Alabama pulling out the W, a full belly, and a more experienced beer palette. I would so come again!

    So why not 5 - I have to see if they regularly attract I just turned 21 or I have my friend's ID. There were some people at the bar I wanted to provide some coaching to. The other:  I love places where I can hear the game during the game. Since this place has billiards and bowling, they were piping lively music.  I would def consider making myself a regular. TBD!!

    This place is like the tv show Cheers.  Everybody knows your name because a lot of Buppies and Yuppies hang out there for one purpose...GOOD TIMES.  If you like good eats, pool, bowling, great bartenders, and a fun and pleasant staff, Seven Ten is the place to go.  I had booked several large parties for 100+ people and the service was unforgetable.  Best of all, Seven Ten is committed to giving back to the community.  They have donated several gift certificates for raffles and silent auctions for the non-profits that I am affiliated with.  You can't ask for more...socially conscious and a fun layed back place that is family-oriented.

    Hi, I am starting out with a rating of 4 four(4) stars, I just left there a moment ago, and I feel in love with the place, I am setting up a" Father Bring You Sons" bowling afternoon outing and I believe that the 7/10 would be the perfect place. Food appears a little priceie for a Not-For-Profit, yet we can only accomplish what we will.
    Second review will be the results of this event, which will be open to the public, at cost of course, all monies donated will go toward educational  supplies when needed. Posting depend on the response we receive from people who'ed like to attend, donate or just want to extend a helping hand.

    Frequent the location because of proximity to work.
    The prices are a bit high for the food- but the atmosphere is okay.

    This review is for the salsa dancing hosted by the University of Chicago's Ballroom and Latin Dance Association. These dancing parties happen just about every second Wednesday of the month in the back bowling alley room. Usually there's a free Beginner lesson at 8, followed by dancing until 11 or so.

    These dance parties are mainly for people from the UofC to come practice their salsa, bachata and cha cha. The DJ always presents a great selection, the dancers are friendly and there are all levels, although there are usually more dancers on the 'learning' end than the 'advanced' end. The floor can be a little slick, so I'd actually recommend rubber soled shoes, for once.

    The staff are always quick to provide pitchers of water, and the full bar (though these are all-ages parties) is great. Overall, these parties are wonderful opportunities for Hyde Park dancers to  improve and show off their Latin dance moves!!

    We took our 7 and 4 year old here on a Saturday afternoon around 12pm.  The staff was friendly, the lanes were almost empty (although it filled up quickly within the next hour).  We ate a pretty decent meal--about on the culinary level of Bennigans--then bowled for an hour.

    Overall, we had a good experience.  The price is good--the lanes cost less than half of Lucky Strike at the AMC theatre downtown, plus there is plenty of free parking. The drinks were good. I had a nice creative cocktail called The Press.  My husband was impressed with their beer selection, as well as our waitress' knowledge of them.  

    They have bumper guards for the lanes for kids.  Although I didn't see any really light balls for kids but ours were able to manage with the lightest one which was either a 6 or a 9 pounder, couldn't tell.

    It is a little less glitzy than Lucky Strike AMC/downtown and a little less clubby.  Better for kids.  We will return.

    What has happened to this place? We usually come here on Sunday's to watch the games. Usually there is a nice Latino bartender who is attentive, polite, & not disgusting. (what more do you want in a bartender, anyway?) Although the place is expensive for HP, we come for the wings.

    Today was ridiculous. The bar tender (a different one) was texting on his phone the whole time. There's nothing I love more with my drink than the nasty iPhone finger germs of a stranger! Then they rang us up as someone else's bill, and overcharged us. I won't even go into the disgusting, sinus-clearing sounds the bartender was making. I seriously don't think I'll be coming back here. Ever.

    10 dollar potato skins. I asked the waiter how many were in an order before I purchased and he said three and I know you have to cut a potato in half to make potato skins so why would it be an odd number? I figured it meant three potatoes which would be six skins. So I ordered this one and a half potato for ten dollars. And they weren't even good lol. They were very bleh. ESPECIALLY for the price. At that price I'd expect the best damn potato skins I've ever had in my life! The pizza was really good and the fries are great. Will definitely eat there again but NEVER ORDER THE POTATO SKINS!!!!!

    Nice place to hang-out, grab a beer, watch a game. Come here if you want to just hang out and enjoy yourself. The food is good, but the service is a little slow.

    Stopped in for lunch....good food, huge portions, reasonable pricing considering it's Hyde Park.  The service was excellent!  I hope to stop by and bowl sometime, as it sounded like everyone was having a blast!

    I haven't bowled here, so take the review for what its worth. I have, however, drank here on a few occasions when I venture down to the South Side to visit my UChicago friends.

    What saves this place is their selection of microbrews on tap and in the bottle: Boddington's, Shocktop, several Goose Islands on tap, and plenty of German beer and random domestic microbrews in bottles (hello Dead Guy Ale!)  It's actually quite impressive for a bowling alley, and for a place in Chicago away from the yuppie hipsterdom of Wicker Park.

    It never seems to be too crowded when I've been (perhaps that's a bad sign), but it's a good place to snag a booth, grab a few beers, and catch up with friends.

    And I suppose you could bowl as well.

    I had one of those small and perfect encounters with a stranger today.

    He was walking behind me, he caugh up.
    I looked at him, he looked at me: we smiled that half-way kind of smile.

    He walked ahead, crossed the road and turned right. I turned right.
    I looked across the street and kind of laughed.
    He looked across the street and smiled a full smile. We walked on.
    He turned left, and I kept going straight. Then...!!!
    Just before he was gone he turned and I turned and we waved goodbye.

    It was perfect!

    I spent the rest of the day- dreaming. I was hoping to run into him again.
    I started to think... why didn't I say "hello!"? Why didn't I ask him "where are you going in such a hurry? Can I tag along? Can you show me around? Let's grab a bite to eat!"

    I tried to guess his name, but I couldn't come up with anything.
    To be honest, I don't really even remember his face now! But no matter, I dreamt the day away. All of a sudden, my stomach started grumbling, and it started to rain, and I found myself far from home at UIC Campus, plopped under a tree, kind of lost.

    I decided to find a place to eat at. I was searching for some kind of Sandwicherie because the architecture and the parks and such reminded me of France, and I wanted something Frenchy. There was nothing! Not even a Cafe! For an expresso and a croissant.

    And then, there it was: Seven Ten: It looked like people were having a good time in there, while I was outside wet and hungry. I went in, sat down, and was greeted immediately. Withing two seconds I had a cut of water in front of my face, which I gumpled down like a thirsty hippo. Refill, and then I was ready to order... I had forgotten all about my sandwich and got some fish tacos instead.

    They were DELICIOUS!!! Best fish tacos I've had! They were actually fresh, and the rice and beans were pretty darn good too! I was super full with three tacos, my side of rice and beans, and two cups of water, and the prices are sooo reasonable. I even hung around a while, all the employees were very nice and attentive. If it wasn't so far from home I'd be back way more often!!

    I can't believe it only has three stars and a half. It deserves much better!

    It breaks my heart to see bad/mediocre reviews for Seven Ten Lanes! I've organized several business lunches, happy hour drinks with friends, etc and I've never had a complaint. Maybe I'm just lucky, but our food's always been consistently, delicious, and priced well for the portion sizes. My experience with waitstaff - attentive, great with beverage refills, very accommodating with splitting up bill requests (very helpful if someone shows up with cash, and someone shows up with a card).

    I haven't bowled or played pool, so I can't review on that aspect... I just wanted to say Seven Ten Lanes can be quite a wonderful experience in regards to dining & drinks.

    I thought it would be more fun, being that it's close to a college campus, but then I found out it was the lamest college campus in America.  Everything at this place is overpriced and it's your typical bowling ally food.

    I gave it two stars simply because I did have a good time, solely because of the group I was with.  We had a blast, until the check came and we realized just how much we had.

    There is nothing special about this place, and I probably wouldn't head back to this place.  Fun to try with a group, however.

    OK so once I was able to get past the old musty smell in the air (yes, I realize a bowling alley can only smell but "so fresh and so clean clean" but dang.

    My friends and I ordered a drink.....the interesting bartender appeared as though he was irritated by a $20 bill and asked if we were all going to give him a $20 when he doesn't have change? Uh, OK....will a card work? Yes, thank goodness....wouldn't want to anger the nice man serving the drinks.

    I will say this, the drinks sneak up on you, the music was good and the bowling was fun!

    Stopped in to Seven Ten lanes for a school event.  I got there late and left early, so I probably didn't get the best impression of the place.  We had reserved a private room, and when I got there the food was pretty picked over.  Not 710's fault, just my hungry classmates'.  However, I was there for about 20 minutes before our designated waitress came by, so I didn't get a chance to order a beer since I had to leave in another 5 minutes.

    All in all, it doesn't seem terrible... for Hyde Park.

    Me and a few workers had plan to gather up an have a few drinks. Since we work in the hyde park area we decided to come to 7-10.
    When we got there they told us we can see anywhere, so we did. We were like a total of 6 or 7 people.
    After the waitress came to ask us what we wanted to drink, we told her to give us a few more minutes to decided. She gave us like that attitude face and walk off. She didnt came back after like 10 or 15 minutes to see if we were ready. Keep in mind the place was not busy that night.
    After we placed our order it took them like 20-30 minutes to just get our drinks. And the waitress kept her attitude up.
    I have had better service on other restaurants/bars and didnt had to be calling up the waitress for the refills.
    Anyways, theres probably other better places to catch a drink than here, I am sure not going back

    I like the hummus appetizer as a main course.  It's a tad overpriced, but it's a really nice bar for Hyde Park.  Students and locals alike go in there.  I was there for the Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals Series, and my friends were there for the Blackhawks, and they split the TVs so that everyone could get their sports fix.  There was even one room devoted to JUST the blackhawks, and I asked them to switch one of the TVs to the Lakers/Celtics game, which they obliged!  I wasn't the only one wanting to see that game, so it made me feel less guilty.

    It's more expensive than Jimmy's, which is a block down and across the street, but the food is better and the place is nicer.  If you want to play pool or bowl, then you should come here too.

    One thing that always throws me off when I walk in is that we're supposed to seat ourselves, but they have someone standing at the door to tell you to seat yourself.  Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

    Had dinner and played a few hours of pool here last night with a friend.  

    Food:  I had a burger which was remarkably average.  Not bad, but nothing remarkable.  The seasoned fries were very good though.  My friend had the fish tacos which he says were quite good.

    Drink:  Decent beer selection although several of the beers i tried to order they no longer carry.  The menu needs to be updated.  Prices did not seem out of line.

    Service:  Very cool, laid back waitress.  Kind of sarcastic and a smartass.  I could see where she could rub some customers the wrong way, but we loved her.

    Pool:  Great pool tables and they aren't too crammed together.  Possibly a bit pricey, but worth a trip.

    Overall, it's worth a trip for some beers and pool.  Eat if you're there and hungry, but I wouldn't seek it out just for the food.

    Perfectly good food, pretty great service, cold beer. There's just nothing that sticks out that makes me think "Oh YEAH, I love that place!" Where it wins is the location. Hyde Park has a dearth of good restaurants, which is surprising, given it's largest tenant, the University of Chicago.

    You can bowl here, and I liked the Cobb salad a lot. Sure, I'll come back. I just wouldn't send anyone down here on a Calumet Fisheries style pilgrimage.

    This place could be so much more if they just did one thing, improve the quality of the food.    The items on the menu sound impressive until you get them on your plate, ugh!!!   I can't think of anything worth eating at this place.  Purchased the grilled cheese once and it looked like a prison cheese sandwich.   The Backyard Burger tasted like someone found it in your backyard.  The hand-cut fries are sagging and lack crispness.  Lastly, the waiters are pretty ho-hum and carefree, but I've had worse service.   Verdict:  Come for the bowling and pool tables, just eat elsewhere before journeying here.

    Had a birthday party here recently.  Despite a good early impression, once the party started, service was terrible.

    For a party, food is pricey.

    Atmosphere is good.  But one of the bowling lanes kept breaking.  And rather than opening up a closed lane next to it, we continually had to wait for slow staff to casually make their way to the back to try to fix it.

    Manager was good, had to go to him 3 times though to get issues resolved - which really is not good.

    I've never come hereby myself, but my work has had their hilday parties here for about 3 years now.  

    The restaurant is really large, lots of tables, pool tables, long full bar, and then the bowling lanes.  (About 5?)  Then there's the big back room with about 4 or 5 more lanes, and lots of seating.  We usually order a big buffet of appetizers, many pitchers of soft drinks, and bowl all afternoon.  They are very attentive to our group, it's unlimited bowling, and it's an overall good time.

    It always seems very clean too.  Parking is in the big pay parking lot just south of the restaurant (on Ellis Ave.)  But after 4pm its free, and on weekends.

    I think Seven Ten is supposed to be a bar, but I've always thought of it as more of a restaurant. They have even better burgers and fries than the Med, and you can get with A BEER! OMG! Though I usually settle for iced tea. As I am now of legal drinking age and live a block away, I've ordered some drinks when I eat here, and they have a pretty damned decent beer selection.

    Their staff is really friendly, who are a mix of locals and University of Chicago students. In four years of going here at least once a month, I have never ONCE had an order messed up, and the food comes promptly. They also have monthly specials, including appetizers that will kill time if you are super hungry.

    Try their brownie with ice cream. It is a heart attack on a plate, but SOOOO good.

    They also rent out space for parties, etc. I've been to a few of these and they have always been great events, well catered, fun, etc. Bowling is not the focus of this place, but it's certainly a perk. Basically a mini Lucky Strike, but with local flavor.

    A cozy, intimate bar and gaming spot, with decently greasy burgers and bar grub and solid cocktail pours - the walls are lined with old-timey ads from across the Southside and they have a couple of the cutest little bowling lanes you ever saw.  

    So much potential.  So much almost totally wasted potential, sigh....
    You see, this should be my favorite place - and with some easy changes maybe it can be someday.

    I love bowling, but I'm not so fond of the giant bowl-o-plex model. And this is attached to the University of Chicago and I like drinking and bowling away my neurons in the proximity of hallowed thought and all, but  the prices have more than doubled in the past two years, the staff mostly came off like a bunch of Pop Copy rejects and everything on the menu is priced at maybe two or three dollars more than it should be.  

    "Welcome to Seven Ten, can I help you? [scrowl]  Bitch I AM your manager!  What?!?!"

    And now they want $20 an hour to bowl too!  And if you're in the middle of a game? Then you just go on into the next $20 hour!  Scccrrrreeech - ooh....ooh no. Oh no. Not for manual scoring.  I used to go here a lot about two years ago (I think a different owner then - Lucky Strike?) and I used to feel like I was getting a great deal and the prices seemed so low that I happily kept buying food and drinks all night.  Now?  Cheese fries are like $5, wings are about $8 and a soda (I know - pop...) is almost $3 - and they are REAL, REAL clear on the menu that that only covers one refill only.

    Basically they are charging downtown, 10pin Bowling Lounge type of prices, minus the boocha boocha lighting and videos on big screens, but with extra helpings of schisty attitude.  Maybe that will work with some of Hyde Park's more famous residents, but that's not how I'm rolling.   And apparently I am not the only one who's feeling their pain, because they were dead the other night - like counting the money out in the open at 11:30 when they close at 2 am kind of dead - and there were a bunch of bowling shoes lined up near the front door like the ghosts of bowlers who never was.

    They're owned by the same people as the Seven Ten in Lincoln Park and the little Southport bowling spot, and I don't know how those people do it, but I hope the one here can get it's shit together soon so that I can make it my new favorite spot and give it a bunch of my cash in the future.

    If it weren't for my persistent boyfriend, I'd never go here.  He insists on going back for the drinks (and the food, sometimes), but the service is always disappointingly slow.  Once we waited nearly half an hour for a brownie on a Thursday night (not even when U of C was in session, so no students!)!  A brownie?  Really?  All you have to do is slop it onto a plate, throw some ice cream on it, and top it off with some whipped cream and chocolate sauce.  Shouldn't take 30 minutes.

    A few weeks ago we stayed after drinks to play pool.  The waitress in the pool room was helpful enough, although we declined drinks each time she offered, but then we ended up waiting 5 minutes at the register for the right waitress to "check us out" since we were in her "area".

    Food and drinks are average, but service here sucks.

    Meh. I've been here a couple of times, and the place is allright. I think it's owned by the same people as The Daily and Southport Lanes for northsiders out there--I hypothesize this because their menus are almost identical. However, the food down here isn't nearly as good. The fries were mediocre at best and the sandwich (black bean burger) was decent. Not great. They seem to have decent drink specials during the week, but not on the weekends.

    Speaking of weekends, if you're looking for a quiet night out this is SO NOT the place for you. My ears were ringing; it's truly deafening in this joint. What with the bowling, the music which is turned up to drown out the bowling and the basketball games which are turned up to drown out the music--and everyone else shouting to drown out everything else, it's a bit much. The lighting is a bit garish, too---kind of gives it a sterile feeling.  The staff is nice enough--if you want pub food that's tolerable, I'd stop here. Otherwise, keep on truckin.

    My nursing buddies and I go here after work once in awhile...mainly cuz it's the only place near our job where we can kick back a few. The food is plain old bar food, they have a bunch of pool tables (major plus) and two bowling lanes. Everyone keeps to them selves...so go with a friend or a group. Nothing to write home about....but we're happy it exists. What's up with the name change from Lucky Strike? They both suck. They should rename it to "After Five".  A plus is the outside seating...especially in the winter, after the smoking ban, where you can sneak your beer outside (without really sneaking), have a smoke and bullshit about work with a co-worker.  Have the nachos here...they are enormous and full of fatty goodies.

    For what it is, I think Seven Ten does nicely.

    It's not fine dining, it's not trendy tastes.  It's not beautiful people needing to be admired, or hangers on waiting to revere.

    What it is is a comfortable neighborhood place that offers lots of pool tables (at least 6, I may have miscounted) and plenty of bowling.  Now that the city ban is in effect, there is no smoking, which rawks in my opinion.

    The food is standard bar food more or less.  I recommend the chicken fingers, the tex mex egg rolls ( a little spicy), and the burgers and fries.

    My company has our holiday party here every year and it's always a good time.  The drinks are done well, the servers are very attentive, and it's a nice laid back vibe.  I see more beer drinking than anything too fancy, although they offer everything and I did see some martini glasses.  There is a somewhat seperate area, I would not really call it a room, that accomodates a crowd and gives us room to spread out as well as four lanes for our exclusive use.

    Also, it's a nice place for an integrated crowd that is not predominantly white.  If you haven't experienced that much (or ever Trixie?), try it out and confront any latent feelings around race you haven't faced yet.

    The first time I went here I had a good time.  Their cheezy beef was off the hook, or off the chain, whichever.  Service was good and the drinks were great.  I decided to pay them another visit yesterday and I was disappointed.  Our server did a good job at first, but the busier it got, the less we saw him.  The service could have been forgivable but a little while after leaving I got pretty sick.  Not sure exactly what did it, but I do know that 7-10 was the only place I'd eaten all day.  I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.

    This place is called Seven Ten now. I can't remember the drama behind why it's not Lucky Strike anymore, but about a year after opening they changed their name.

    The place has gone downhill somewhat since I first went (when it was still Lucky Strike). The pool tables are fine and the beer is fine. The food is pretty good standard American bar food. But the last time I went, the service was horrible. A friend and I wandered in in the middle of the day, like 1pm on a Saturday, and there were maybe 5 other people in the whole place (it's a pretty big building). We sat down and waited for like 20 minutes. Meanwhile servers were walking past us, doing their best to ignore us, while a couple of them stood around by the hostess' counter and chatted with her about something. Finally, we got up in disgust and walked out.

    It was a real disappointment because we had been there about a year previously and had a great time.

    Long story short: if you want to play pool or bowl, maybe have a beer or two, it's okay. Avoid the restaurant.

    Can I get some good service? Everytime I've been here the server is someshere else. Same with the host & the bartenders. I feel bad for the few good staff that work there, because I'm sure more people like me have never come back after the service they got the first time.

    Their food is really good. I love their burgers. They have enough pool tables, TVs and a few lanes for bowling, so entertainment wise they're covered.

    My only other complait about this place is some of the customers. Which may be the reason why the service is so bad. Hey I'm not a broke U of C student who will hog space at the bar to watch teh world cup games while your paying customers have to sit inthe corner or stand. And I'm not the broke ass local who complains about the food so he can get a free meal. I have money and I will go to Woodlawn tap to watch the game if you guys can't get your act together.
