Fireplace inn — american in Old Town. The cocktail program is serious. Hospitality you can feel from the door. Nevaeh Anderson: "Then tackled the Blackened Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo; the chicken had a nice kick" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Old Town classic in summer.

Mark is a gem. Alex is considerate. Alisha is a music buff. This place gives a Cheers kinda vibe.

Man this place is the environment you want. Everything you need, everything you want at your fingertips. Mark , our bartender, been here for 9 years + and he’s truly exceptional. Simply superb. He entertained us and took care of us every single moment. Great patience and amazing customer service, I’d recommend this place to any Chicagoan or tourist. Hands down , gotta be here to experience it! S/o to Ciera especially! She literally has the most patience in the world and she will always treat you with a smile, that’s all you want. So happy I met both Mark and Ciera , thankful for them

My wife & I went for World Cup games & really had a great time. Despite being really busy, the service was top notch & the food was delicious. Our server, David really went above & beyond & we had a great time. The chicken fingers were delicious with all the different sauces & the Mexican cheesecake was great as well.

Well, I only went in for a drink. Met with a family member and left after a short while. The staff was great. The door people were friendly the bartender was great. I did go on a week night so there was definitely room, to sit and hear people speak (my hearing is a bit impaired from working so many years in an industry of loud music). Anyway, I know the place is a staple in the area and does get crowded. It's been a happening spot in the area for years.
