    BEST bar on the strip. Just wish it was bigger! On the best nights it's so crowded. I guess that's a good problem to have though. The people are nice and non pretentious. Bartenders cool etc..

    Great specials, fun atmosphere. The music can be hit-or-miss tho. DJs like Katy, Dolo and Konsept are on point. The others need to work on their "flow." Sorry but true.

    The youngest crowd on the Halsted strip, save maybe Minibar. It definitely beats Minibar in attitude, though. People here are friendly and just want to have fun.

    Always remember to tip your bartenders because they have been dealing with your drunk ass all night and it's a nice way to show your appreciation

    This is the only bar on the strip with decent, relevant music. One of the first places in Chicago that played duck sauce

    I think they play the best music here. The only trade off is that it is way too small
