    My phone is usually 1 dB of my pro meter - this is nearly 100 dBA, slow, of game audio only...
    Stephen K.

    My daughter and I went in today to try The Scout Waterhouse + Kitchen, as the bar that used to be in this space was my favorite spot in the entire city of Chicago. 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.

    Steak and Egg sandwich

    The food was super good here! We went for lunch and our server was really attentive and the food came out super quickly. I like that it feels like a casual suburban sports bar. They were able to change the TV channel for us so we could watch the Pistons game. Quick and good lunch and overall nice experience!

    Short rib tacos

    This place was AMAZING. Perfect place to watch Sunday night football because they have tons of TVs. The service was great and it was a cozy atmosphere (they have a great fireplace). The music was slightly too loud but not bad. The food was incredible!! They have foot long grilled cheese sandwiches!!!! I got the short rib tacos and my friend ordered the burger and we split a chicken caesar salad that was a 10/10. Highly recommend trying them out! Huge plus was that they had Diet Coke.

    Fried Proscuitto Chip Flatbread
    Birdie L.

    The drinks upstairs are tasty and strong. Lively atmosphere. The prosciutto chip flatbread is very tasty. Shaved Brussels sprouts salad is tasty, but would be much better with some balsamic or something else sour and sweet to balance the salty bacon. Overall, a decent place to grab a bite and a drink and hang.

    Stopped in for a drink before dinner. Friendly owner, Chris, explained the origin of the name (his…read moregrandmother), and let us know they've only been opened about 6 weeks. Clean and well-organized place with about 8 TV's and bar and table seating. Drinks were great and the wine list is very good. Mid-priced and higher end wines. My Favorite Neighbor is the upper end Cab at $25 a glass. It's excellent. Didn't eat, but food menu looked good. Seemed like an earnest guy trying to bring a good experience into the neighborhood!

    Excellent bar. It's about time a good hoosiers bar opens up on this street. Great location,…read moreambiance, music, service, and drinks. There is an upstairs area that's a little more loungier whereas the downstairs can get more rowdy on game day. We came during the championship game, and this was the perfect spot to be. We came early to be able to snag some bar seats upstairs and enjoy multiple drinks and food. Drinks are great - some cocktails and beers are only offered downstairs. Food was a mix: Chimichurri cauliflower: smaller portion than I expected, nothing special I'd skip this dish. Ceasar salad: dressing is very heavy on the anchovy paste, otherwise good portion and veggies. Loaded fries: huge portion with lots of great toppings, though I wish their fries were more 'fry' like versus potato skin-like. Chicken tenders: I got this with sweet potato fries, and they were way too salty. The chicken tenders were 4 skimpy pieces of chicken, and I was charged for extra dipping sauces and ketchup. The spicy mango habanero and buffalo are good - skip the garlic parmesan. I will most definitely be back for the vibes, drinks, and service. I'm hoping the food is just working on some kinks and will get better the next time!

    Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Sports themed bar with many TVs -Interesting variety of appetizers -Bathrooms look like a prison Came in for drinks about 6:30pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't too crowded since it was a bit early. I think there were some kind of corporate happy hour happening in the back, but a friend and myself just came in for quick drinks. I usually don't drink on the weekdays, so I ended up just getting an iced tea and him a tequila soda, but because I don't drink, we decided to get an appetizer and we browsed the menu for a minute and ended up splitting the Parmesan chicken egg rolls. Truthfully, I really just wanted to see what that would entail because it seemed a little disgusting or maybe even some kind of high-food, but to my surprise, it was actually a really crispy skinned pizza roll. I'm pretty sure it had been previously frozen, but in that moment- served with a side of marinara, I didn't really care. It was full of gooey melted mozzarella cheese and almost like a breaded chicken nugget center. Pretty decent as far as bar food goes. They also had crab rangoon to which I thought, "hmm are they doing a little too much?!" I'm sure drunk me would have gotten them years ago so what can ya do. Overall, quite a positive experience. The bartender was really sweet and everything wasn't super expensive. I've been in the neighborhood for such a long time, but I've actually never been here and I'm glad I came on a night that it wasn't chaotic.
