Oh lawd. This is a place for the pros. Coldest beer in town! Opens early (0700) on week days. Great basic breakfast and weekday lunch specials. The free pool table on Sunday is a bonus. Make sure n say hello to the regulars.

This is a cool bar that has a lot of great specials and offers some good service industry deals. They have a decent sized menu and also do breakfast items. They offer pool, darts and some other entertainment options that should please most folks. There is a large "L" shaped bar here that has quite a bit of seating and then a large central space which has plenty of tables and chairs. I sampled their interesting sounding "Bayou Black Burger" which has garlic and green onion mixed into the burger meat. It was a nasty rainy day with flooding when I visited so the cook wasn't able to get into work that day so the lady bartending was brave enough to try making my food for me and she did a good job at getting my burger prepared for me. Overall this is a very cool bar with a nice ambiance to it and it is probably the best bar in the Bucktown area.

This place needs a better air filtration system. There weren't many people there when I went, and the smoke was so thick that it looked like the London fog. It smelled like I was standing right at the tailpipe of an idling city bus.

A nice peaceful place for the wife and I. The kitchen food is reasonable along with the drinks. And they have darts and billiards

A really cool hang out spot for servers or just regular people alike looking for a fun place to hang out and shoot some pool or just enjoy the game on tv, regardless of what you're looking for for fun, this is a nice environment for it and the people that work there are really nice.

Today was my first time going here and I went with a group of Coworkers after we got off from doing a night shift . It was a quiet relax atmosphere where we could talk, cut up, and unwind after a long shift!
I honestly am concerned about the individual rating this place five stars who's "been to over 150 bars" or something. Must be seriously throwing back the booze to see this place as anything other than the pile of trash it is. Bartender informed me that she "didn't know how to make" half of what I asked for, and despite my relentless positive energy, I was met with an "are you done yet" negative attitude from her. Place smells awful... it's a serious dive.

Homey little dive bar to escape the tourist traps.
