I was surprised by how busy it was for a Monday night at 7pm. Super chill bouncer at the door checking ID. I situated myself at the corner of the bar and was served the cocktail menu right away. I got a Mountain Mama cocktail, which was a citrusy gin cocktail. Fruity, refreshing, and not too sweet thanks to the bitters. The cocktail was so tasty that I came back for a night cap after I had dinner. For my 2nd round I got the Do Not Carrot All. Loved the smokiness of the mezcal and balance of flavors. Shoutout to the bouncer for remembering who I was and welcomed me back.

Baby Father wasn't really for me since it had mezcal and banana puree, but our server was kind enough to make me a different drink. I ended up getting Be That Easy, which I enjoyed.. I also thought it was cool that they were taking orders for fresh tamale, something I had never seen before. Overall, a great vibe, and quick service.

My partner got a rye dickle with a pbr. They have a special for a beer and a shot. Overall this place is cute, easy to talk there for the most part.

This was while Daley was in charge and 9/11 had hit and the city was beautiful, almost no gatherings of homeless, just the regulars. The viagra triangle was in full steam. Maggie had beautified the city with plants and flowers. It was such a good first date I left her a message afterwards telling her so, so she could get it when she got home.

There are some very choice finds that all the untappd and beer advocate faithful are seeking out. I was pleased and then some, even getting some nice recs from the bartender based on some newer brewery offerings and my taste profile. The place was easy to get in and find a good spot on a Tuesday night at prime time. Easy to order, easy to settle up. Did I say it was easy?! Some Tool was playing when I drank my stout. Appropriate. Other 90s nu metal and grunge followed. The free popcorn wasn't bad either. Prices are appropriate depending upon the beer you get. I shall return!

Chances are it hasn't changed a lot from years ago. That could be both a good and bad thing. Cheap drinks are the name of the game here. It has lots of cheap canned beers and bottles mostly. There's not much on tap. It has a $7 special for Tullamore Dew and a domestic beer. That's about the most expensive thing in the place. Has no food except $1 for a big of chips. They usually let you bring in something. Amazingly clean. This looks like you might catch something here, but it's good about sanitation so it's better than it looks. Has an old classic dive bar feel. It's hidden from the street so you need to know it's here first or else you won't see it. This will still be pretty hard to find if you've never been here so keep an eye out around this intersection if walking.
