    Stoped by late on a Saturday night and was able to get service quickly at the bar, but after was way slower once seated. There was a country band playing that night and they were good. It was a little too loud to talk while the band was playing but we didn't mind since it was only a handful of songs! Fun place to check out and say you've been to!

    After dropping my son and his girlfriend off at the House of Blues for a show this weekend I needed a spot to eat dinner and have a couple brews. Barstool was the perfect choice after randomly coming across it. I was able to enjoy sports as I ate wings and have a couple drafts at the bar. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I ordered the wings with hot sauce on the side along with ranch, carrots, and celery. The wings were very big but tended to be overly chewy and sinewy. The sauce was good and of course the beers were cold and delicious. Definitely an awesome spot for watching a game but I would try something else off the menu next time.

    We had to come in this spot to check it out! My fiancé watches and listens to all the barstool shows/podcasts so we had to pop in to check it out. The Italian Beef egg rolls are a MIST TRY! We needed up coming back for the Ohio State and Michigan game and MAN that place had some energy. It was nice to go to an actual sports bar with sports fans while watching the game.

    Went here to watch the March Madness championship with some friends from out of town. It's a great environment to watch sports with lots of TVs. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be for a championship game, probably because they're not open Mondays, but made an exception for the game. Since my friend's were visiting from DC, I made sure we ordered the Italian Beef Egg Rolls, to give them a little taste of Chicago. They were delicious and I would come back just for those! It's definitely a cool experience being here for a huge game. Our service was a little slow but we still had a good time and enjoyed our night!

    nice spot for football sunday. get their early as there won't be any seating available later. we got seated and enjoyed some white claws and got some food to munch on. got wings with fries and also got tacos. everything was really good and the service was really good as well. the music is nice and the inside is decorated nice as well. very clean.

    Location is prime in River North. Lots of big TV's and sound system. We were able to grab a few Happy Hour drinks before heading to our ultimate destination. Tried this spot because I love the founder's reviews on pizza. I would come back and grab some beer or wine. We did find that the HH drinks were weak.

    What can you say??? The servers are on point. The atmosphere is definitely a sports bar. If the professional games are not on the college games are playing

    Absolutely packed after Da Bears Game!

    For game day fun outstanding!! We went to the Nashville location a few days before for a Phillies playoff game and had the same experience! #lovebarstool They DO HAVE a full menu with great food and we had awesome service both times we came here (we came on a Friday night for a Phillies game also but it was dead like 10 people). Would highly recommend for Saturday or Sunday game day but it's small and gets packed!!

    I recently visited Corcoran's Grill and Pub while in town from Florida with my family, and…read moreunfortunately our experience with the service really took away from what could have been a great visit. From the moment we sat down, our waitress--the one with curly hair and a gummy bear necklace--was noticeably rude and unwelcoming. When we were ordering drinks, we were speaking politely, but she just stood there silently, almost impatiently, waiting for us to finish. There was no friendliness or even basic customer service. When she brought out a classic margarita, she didn't make eye contact, didn't say anything, and just dropped it off and walked away. The drink itself was extremely strong to the point that it wasn't really drinkable. When we politely asked if it could be remade or if more mix could be added, she responded with, "Is this a complaint about a heavy pour?"--which came off as dismissive and sarcastic. It was disappointing because we were excited to visit Chicago and were hoping for a friendly, welcoming dining experience. On the positive side, the atmosphere was great, the outdoor seating was really nice, and the food was genuinely delicious. Overall, great vibe and food--but the service we received, especially from our waitress, made the experience far less enjoyable than it should have been.

The Scout in Old Town captures the look of the OG but in a new fresh way - perfect for present-day. We were instantly and warmly welcomed upon arrival. Lexi was our server and honestly five stars don't do her justice. She deserves 5,000 stars! The menu features some of the same menu items that were at the South Loop location along with some newbies. Lexi let us know what was what and made excellent recommendations based on our preferences. I loved my salad, and my husband loved The Wolf (said it was just like he remembered - his favorite!!!). Definitely check The Scout out - but warning, you will be spoiled by their fantastic food and service so much you will never want to go anywhere else other than there. We highly recommend!

If you've been to the old spot I'm talking about, you'll notice immediately that The Scout still has the beautiful, soaring ceilings, but they've also remodeled a chunk of the restaurant, which is great! We sat down pretty immediately at a table in the back of the restaurant - not too far from the (new) DJ booth, and our waitress was extremely kind and gave us prompt service. We were just hanging out, listening to the music, when the NFL Divisional playoff game that was on tonight came back on, and let me tell you, it was the loudest game audio I have ever heard in a bar, ever. I've been going to sports bars for most of my adult life, and I get that folks can get excited and loud and that's not what I'm talking about. The audio of just the announcers and players from the telecast were almost exceeding 100 dBA, slow, without the bar cheering. I've been an audio engineer for over 20 years, and that isn't too far off from the base level of what you'll experience at concerts at the United Center (102-110 dBA, slow). We asked twice if the zone that encompassed our area of the restaurant could be turned down - but nothing changed, so we took our food to go and left. It wasn't just "can't have a conversation" loud, it was "I can't think" loud. This place needs to do some system tuning (the example I'll give - if you go to a Yard House the environment is loud and lively but you can still hold a conversation at your table because the audio system is extremely well tuned). The food that we ate when we got home (Kids mac n cheese and buffalo wings) were exceptional, so that's why I'm not leaving a single star. I don't know if we'll be back, I was incredibly disappointed tonight.
