    We stopped by on a Tuesday night for our date night, to my surprise this was a cozy dimly lit space for jazz. Bar is cash only but has a decent selection of craft beers. Lovely broken in seating, tables, everything to ensure the jazz musicians receive your full attention. 100% will be coming back for more boogie woogie

    10ccs of Jeiger, stat!

    IPA on tap? Check Brain motif? Check Awesome bartenders? Check Good music? Check Completely great? Check Five checks, five stars, end of review.

    Blink and you'll miss it.

    I love this place - from their wonky assortment of furniture right down to their $4.50 craft beers (decent selection I may add). Jukebox has a nice selection of classic and indie tunes. But watch it - it only takes ones and fives. Don't even dream of putting a ten in there. You're not getting anymore plays than you would for a fiver, but you're losing your full ten spot. Believe that. (Special thanks to the bartender who gave us five bucks to make up for our jukebox loss) My favorite Roscoe Village dive bar - and really my favorite Roscoe Village bar in general.

    very dark, but cozy

    And now, for those of us who need to drink gluten-free, they carry Redbridge. Can't get better than that, especially for people with celiac.

    I think the only bad thing about the experience was that Tamale Guy never came by...
