    Two parents looking for a nice night out without the kiddos thought let's grab a few drinks and shoot some pool. Nice atmosphere and the food is decent. However, there's something funky happening at the bar. Not only did we wait 10-15 minutes for someone to approach our table for a drink order. We ordered cheese sticks and wings to coat our stomachs. Great food. Wings are great and cheese sticks are homemade , however after drinking (2)Wrigley Sidecars, (3) shots of congac and I am still sober enough to write this review. Not to mention play 3 rounds of pool. My partner enjoyed (2) Old Fashion (1) Modelo (1) shot of whiskey and neither of us are even buzzed. And as you can see the tip is automatically added so servers don't feel the need to provide quality experience. Not the place to go for drinks just pool. $$WASTED

    I wish I could give this place 0 stars. We walked into this establishment on a Saturday night wanting a few beers and some time at a pool table. We were fine paying the out outrageously expensive fees that it required to play pool. When we were getting ready to leave (30 minutes later MAX), we were accused of stealing a cue ball. First of all.. what would I want a cue ball for? Second of all.. where in the world would I put said cue ball? They asked to check our purses and then called the police. The police told us that they do this all the time and to just pay our tabs and leave. One of the five of us got his tab and it was $83! On his tab was a bucket of beer, 3 coors lights, and three 'premium' shots. This was very strange because we do not drink coors and did not order premium shots. Long story not so short, don't go here. They will call the cops and bend you over.

    In the sea of high end and upscale places G-Cue is a great place to unwind. The beer selection is fairly limited and didn't contain anything I'd normally drink outside of a few Lagunitas. I didn't try the food nor any of the mixed drinks. The pool tables (which let's face it are the reason you're there) are well maintained. The cost isn't cheap (I believe 18 per hour + 2 per pool cue rental) but the reality is that keeping that much square footage in such a hot market isn't cheap. There is a jukebox playing music and last night whomever was loading it up was playing all my favorites. It felt very much like the grown up version of the shit hole smokey dive of a pool hall where I spent my youth.

    I hadn't even heard of this bar before spotting it while sitting in a cafe across the street with friends. We decided to stop in for a drink right before heading to a concert a block away. Let me tell you, I'm glad we decided to pop in. My drink was awesome and the bar tender was super nice. I ordered a cocktail named "the loop" and it did looped me! Lol. It had just the right amount of kick and l was delightfully satisfied. They have a full bar and you can order food. Also they have plenty of billiards tables if you're into that. A nice spacious joint that me and my friends plan to visit again real soon.

    See all

    Friends and I came here on a weekend to try out their duckpin bowling lanes! (As someone with joint…read moreproblems, I can't lift a regular bowling ball anymore, but I miss bowling, so we came up with this solution!) We were there early in the day so it wasn't very busy, but there's virtual golf, a shuffleboard table, a bar and probably more stuff that we didn't see. In one hour we fit in two games with four people pretty much perfectly (we picked up the pace in round 2). The digital scorekeeping is very helpful! Watch out for the ball return: it spat out the ball onto the floor about half the time, so mind your feet! It was very hot in the place despite it not being terribly warm outside; we were all sweating! Overall though, I was thrilled to have an opportunity to go bowling again since I haven't been able to in quite a while.

We happened to be there on a Sunday at 9pm, where there was a discount for $25/hour. We stayed until closing at 11pm and it was fun. The system allows you to explore different courses, practice on the driving range, record yourself to watch your form, and good and drinks. The staff were friendly, considering it's Chicago. It also want busy. I believe there were 11 bays, each with their own club set. The downside was probably the tech didn't always capture angles and whatnot correctly so there were a few glitches on occasion. We also didn't have every club in the golf bag they provided so it would be nice to have that organized. It's also on the pricey end. Overall, it was our first time doing the experience and we enjoyed it. There seems to be other locations with a different atmosphere perhaps we can check out on another visit. Happy exploring!

    When visiting Chicago came here for a few drinks. My friend had wanted me to try a shot a of melort…read morethat he knew they had. Getting into the bar was pretty quick. Stopped Friday but didn't really hold us up much. Once we got inside, the center of the bar was fairly congested. However, the outside the bar was fairly sparse and we were able to order drinks immediately and order a second round without the issue. The bartender was friendly and the main bar when you walk in at 45 bartenders working it so people were getting served fairly quickly. While not really my scene anymore, The boss bar seemed nice enough with good service with the options to be in the crowd or have some more space if needed.

    1 STAR UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE…read more LET ME BE VERY CLEAR: I have NEVER left anything less than a 5 star review before. Please check my previous Yelp reviews to see. This is the first time a place genuinely earned a 1 star. I entered The Boss Bar and said, "Hey, I'm just waiting for my Uber. It's arriving in about three minutes." IT WAS 10 DEGREES WITH A WIND CHILL OF -11. It was a Monday night and the bar was essentially empty. The security guard, who told me his name was Romero, immediately said they do not allow entry unless you are purchasing something. I explained again that I was just trying to stay warm briefly. He responded, "Why don't you go to the Starbucks next door?" That made no sense. Why leave a bar I was already inside of to wait somewhere else for a ride that was about to arrive? He kept repeating that it was "policy." I even said I was not blaming him personally, but that kicking someone out into freezing weather is a bad and irrational policy. For clarity, there were no raised voices or confrontation. Romero was calmly speaking with another security guard, and I was speaking calmly as well. Despite that, I was told to leave. Once outside on a public sidewalk, I began recording. The security guard came out threatening to call the police and said I was not allowed to film. This was not about buying a drink. It was about being treated like a problem for trying to stay warm for three minutes. NO HOSPITALITY. NO EMPATHY. NO LOGIC. I will not be back, and management should seriously reconsider how they want their staff representing this place.
