If you wanna have a great night, get what I call a Nisei Red Eye - A shot of coffee malort chased by a red bull!

Fun dive bar near Wrigley Field. Has quite the legacy, which you can read about on the web site. A decent collection of beers with a cult specialty in the oddity named mallort ... see hot off the press, Some of the hanging extensions cords and such gave me pause - the space might need a freshening before the inspectors come.

Very rude bartender. I went in there earlier to ask a simple question about an inquiry online I made. Just to confirm/ask if a reservation would be needed. To come in this Saturday for a little birthday get together. And he says he didn't handle the emails there. And that he wouldn't be there Saturday. Ok? Then says this is a dive bar no reservation is needed. I understand that and we've been there a few times. I just went in there to ask and make sure. Since many bars in Wrigleyville have things going on during the weekends or are busier right now. I was still being polite but as I was leaving he looked irritated and shrugged his shoulders. When I said ok all good. I understand working in the industry is often stressful. I work in the industry too. But it's not like I went in there when it was busy and asking them tons of questions. Which I wouldn't have done. I asked two questions and him being a rude prick was uncalled for. We definitely won't be back there. Thank you to the person who was polite in the email reply.

We came in after a Cubs game- busy and everyone was having a good time. Beer was cold. Great atmosphere and was buzzing. Dive bar in all the right ways. Not overly touristy.

Stopped here before the home opener the eve prior. This place offered good service and they also help out a make a wish fundraiser every year. That's pretty neat, kudos.

I've been here twice. The first time I had absolutely amazing service, the bartender was very nice and we had the best time. Because of this I brought my friends here this past weekend and to say the least we didn't enjoy our experience. The bartender had a very frowny and judgemental attitude the whole time with us and made us feel very unwelcome. We grabbed our drinks and closed out and left, as I tried to say "goodbye have a great night" to the bartender & staff we were met with no acknowledgement... it was.. weird. My friends wondered why I brought them there.
