This is a nice comfortable place to visit with several regulars having their beverage of choice while deep in discussion solving the world's problems. This is a typical sports bar heavily favoring the Chicago Cubs as you can probably tell from the name. There are pool tables, a jukebox, video poker and lots of TVs. Lots of lighting but the place still seams on the darker side. The only staff I saw was the man behind the bar and there has to be someone in the kitchen because people were ordering food. It looked like the typical bar food, deep fried and burgers. I have eaten here in the past and enjoyed that meal. Cubs fan or not this is a nice place to visit and you can feel welcome. Parking and entrance is in the rear so don't miss out!

Last night, I went to Pub 217 on a Tuesday evening. The place was lively, with groups of people on…read moreone side and the bar area a bit more relaxed, which is where I sat with my sister. We came for happy hour and ordered an appetizer of wings. The wings were fantastic, and the cocktails were enjoyable, but it did take a while for someone to take our order, which was a little frustrating as I was trying to catch the happy hour specials. Eventually, the bartender came over, apologized for the wait, and was super friendly with a great personality. I've also ordered lunch from here several times, and my favorite dish is the Bruschetta Salad, which I get every time. It's a perfect option when dining with a group. Another thing I love about Pub 217 is the seasonal décor - they always do a great job switching it up throughout the year!

Hubby ate all the N.O. burger and really enjoyed it. My Lima burger was delish but I ordered the gravy on the side. Don't care for gravy and glad they didn't smother the patty with it. Enjoyed the salad. The fries were good but a tad salty for my taste. FYI, parking only in street or lot. Both places charge. Would return when I'm in town.

First time and probably our last time. Decided to try some place new for my birthday dinner. We…read morewere a family of 6 with two children 5 and under. The food was pretty good, the waitress was kind, but also very busy. When we told the waitress about my birthday I received a free dessert, so that was nice. The big bummer was when we paid the credit card was ran and I handed the waitress a cash tip. After she got her tip we noticed that gratuity was added already and the waitress hadn't mentioned the gratuity. I was surprised that she didn't say anything and that there was no clear notice that a party of 6 would automatically have gratuity added to the bill. We did talk with the waitress and she returned the cash tip, but just want others to be aware of their gratuity policy.

I was back at The Hip-Stir last night to celebrate a family event. We made a reservation for 6 and…read moresat at a table near the front. The vibe of Hip-Stir ha always been cool and kinda niche and this was no exception. If you don't know that they changed up their menu.. they did. It's not bad by any means, but I am pretty heartbroken about them removing the Spinach Artichoke dip. It was the best around and I'll be overjoyed when it returns. The new menu still features ramen, sandwiches and other yummy dishes. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese with my entree and the food was out in about 20 minutes which is great! Unfortunately my Mac and cheese was forgotten- our server apologized and went to "get that started", no worries. The next time our server was at our table I inquired about it again since it had been about 10 minutes, but she had forgotten yet again. She rushed back to "get it started", ok. At this point everyone was getting full and I didn't even want it anymore, but she returned a few minutes later with it. A little frustrating. The ramen has changed, unfortunately. My sister ordered the spicy pork (which has historically been amazing) and didn't even finish it, which is pretty weird for her lol. I tasted nothing but soy sauce and spice. I'm not sure where the aromatics went, but they need to bring them back asap. Don't order the carrot cake. It was served over coffee (yes, hot coffee) which ruined it. The cake was overly soggy and tasted of nothing but the coffee flavor. I'm sure it would have been great without it, the frosting looked great. I'll probably be back and love supporting the Fun not Fancy group in CR, but last night was a miss.
