I went there during the weekday for a fantasy football draft. Very easy to get to off 65 which I was surprised by. Atmosphere was 5 stars as was the service. The only reason I gave 3 stars for the food was because I was unable to order a burger as they were out of beef. I had pizza instead and it was your typical "pub" pizza if that's your kind of thing. Anyway had a great time and would definitely go back, especially to catch a Bears game or listen to some live music

Absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere, live music, and service. The drinks were reasonably priced and I loved it for that reason. The food was good as well, but those tater tots were salty and drowning in grease. The burgers were delicious, and I could taste the real beef with REAL BACON 🥓🙌🏾 Next time I’m going to try the pizza since it’s from Langel’s pizzeria.
