They add mandatory tips to your card even though the service is sub par - just beware. Good environment but bad service.

The food and drinks are okay and the staff will skip your TouchTunes queue ?

Ripped my $12 margarita off the table when I wasn’t looking. Clearly scamming.

Food is awesome, prices are very fair, a lot of drink options, a night club upstairs and plenty of tv's to watch the game

Had some of the worst service I've ever had and 18% gratuity already included so no wonder I would go 30-40 minutes without seeing my server and having to ask random servers for water the we had already asked for 2x and for a drink I had been waiting 30 minutes to order, as well as half our table getting and finishing their food well before we ever even got ours. Prices on bill didn't match the menu. Our party said tacos weren't good and we got barely any chips for our dips. But at least they had the game on I guess.

Went here to watch the Kansas City Chiefs versus Miami Dolphins game since it was a Chiefs bar, I figured it could be fun. I wouldn't recommend if you care about not hearing game sound and don't mind a thumping base from the club upstairs. The service was spotty. Our food was good and came quickly once we ordered. Our server laughed at someone at our table for ordering something on the menu and acted like they were crazy. Would come back to give it one more shot but better spots in the city.

Nice place for what it is. Sort of has college-bar vibes. Lots of TVs which would make it awesome for game days. Prices are affordable, the $25 mimosa towers especially were a bargain. We tried the hot honey and Margherita pizzas and I was a fan of both. Would come back for sports!

Big and Busy Mizzou bar! Decent specials for game day. Reach out to alumni association for reserved tables.
I'm from Texas and this is the ABSOLUTE BEST pizza in Chicago!!!! We have tried all the other popular ones and this is the best!!!! We specifically went here from downtown just for the pizza!!!! Joe took our order and was very nice and helpful. This is our pizza place in a pizza town.
We visited at 7pm on NYE so it wasn't busy yet. The staff was very great. Made sure that we had everything we needed. The food was terrific. We loved the crazy breaksticks for an appetizer. So good!

Horrible service. Took 45 minutes to even get our drinks. Took forever to get our food and some people at the table never even got their food. When we complained to the manager, he said we were being "unreasonable". Our check had the food we never received on it. When we went to say we weren't paying for food we never got, the manager threatened to call the cops on us. We weren't even being rude or pushy. It was ridiculous. Never have had that horrible of experience, especially with the rude manager.

This is such a great spot for drink and food specials with a group! I came here with my two friends on a Saturday around 3:30pm (we made reservations the day before and they had tons of availability). The place totally gets popping later in the night because it was very dead when we came, which is crazy because they have an awesome happy hour deal! From 2-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays, all signature cocktails are $8, they have $5 screwdrivers, $20 mimosa towers, pizzas are half off, and more - that's an INCREDIBLE deal in the city especially on a Saturday. I hardly ever see great specials like that on the weekend. This is a good spot for a pregame or casual food & drinks with a group. The restaurant and bar itself is pretty spacious; I think I saw a staircase leading upstairs too but I could be wrong. They have pictures of celebrities with pizzas and tacos all over the walls which is funny. The ambiance here is really your staple, down-to-earth Lincoln Park bar and restaurant. It's not fancy or upscale at all, and definitely has a chill vibe which I liked. Our server was awesome, too! She was so attentive, helpful, and kind. 10/10 service. Hot honey pepperoni pizza - 10/10. DELICIOUS! Truly wouldn't change a thing. It was nice and thin, crispy, hot, and flavorful. Chips & dips: Salsa - 6/10. The salsa was all completely liquid and was hard to scoop with flat tortilla chips. It had a good flavor but I'd use it as an addition to pour over tacos or something instead of dipping chips in it. Guac - 8/10. Very standard - nothing extraordinary, but yummy nonetheless. Queso - 9/10. I wish the dips were bigger sized so we could have more of this gooey queso! Prickly pear long island iced tea - 7.5/10 - we originally had ordered a peach long island iced tea and raspberry long islands but they were out of those two flavors. This was super sweet but kind of sour/tart at the same time. I liked it but would get a different flavor next time. The screwdrivers were good, too, but I feel silly rating a simple orange juice & vodka. It was very standard! I'd totallyyyy come here to make use of their deals again and try other pizzas and menu items!

In my lifetime, I have been to 4 continents, dozens of countries and hundreds of restaurants. The service I experienced today at LPs Tap is the worst I’ve ever experienced anywhere. It was mind-boggling. Today, my family and 25+ other people, all with reservations, were not only waiting for tables at game time of one of the biggest Mizzou games of the year, but waiting for ANY staff member to acknowledge us at the door. The lack of urgency or motivation by anyone working here should be studied by scientists, because I am convinced these people live in a different space-time continuum. From what we could tell there were maybe four people working. And every single one of them walked by the crowd waiting in the front, made eye contact, and ignored us all on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, a group of staff that was either off the clock, or simply choosing not to work, congregated 15 feet away from us on their phones and talking amongst themselves and the working staff. Somehow, we eventually got sat (after tip off), but after 30 minutes of waiting, never got visited by a server. No waters, no drinks, no food. Nothing. We left at halftime, and watched the rest of the game at home. In a way, I am genuinely impressed a restaurant can be run this badly, as I fully believe you could pick 10 random people off Lincoln Ave. and run it better than it’s being run now. Management, if they even exist, should be embarrassed.
