“Do not order the snack tower on happy hour,it is extremely OK🤗”
“Loved this Rush street pub/ restaurant. Solid menu and drink selection. Great location close to the Rush & Division district. Wait staff was very friendly as well. Good distribution of television screens for sports as well.”
“If you’re a Steelers or Spartan fan - this is your place. But they happily put the Illini game on for us, good beer selection and friendly service”
“Weak happy hour drinks. Not worth your time. Plenty of other options in the Gold Coast area.”
“Amazing bartenders who really get to know their customers. I recently moved to the neighborhood and everyone has been so welcoming. Especially Kasha, Cam, and Ryan (known to staff as RC). I’m always engaged in great conversation and made to feel like a regular. Prices are fair for the area, but well worth the experience.”
“The buffalo chicken dip is stellar. It’s hard to screw up buffalo chicken dip, but I didn’t know it could possibly taste this good. Service is friendly, drinks are excellent, and food is available much later than anywhere else in the neighborhood. You can even get a seat at the bar after a very long day at the office. 10/10, no complaints.”
“I love this place! It's large and inviting and the food is super yummy. I love that you can make any of their salads into a wrap, I don't see that often. The chicken and waffles appetizer is one of the best things I've ever eaten. I believe our servers name was Rachel, she's the freaking best! So kind and welcoming, really brought the whole experience together.”
“Despite this being a Steelers bar, it's location is far enough away from too many tourists and is a great place for a drink, a bite to eat and of course catch a game...”
“The hostess Tina was above and beyond she had the best energy!! The food was amazing unfortunately our server did not have the same energy.. very cold and not polite. I’m a server myself so it’s hard to see someone not doing the bare minimum (smile) I know these employees could have a bad day but in the end they do make good money so at least be welcoming. I hate making any sort of complaint but honestly the attitude needs to be adjusted. We will come back because of Tina and the food but otherwise our server wasn’t good.”
