The music was horrible, and the people started to leave. Ambiance was good until the music started .

Ok bar selection but they are missing out on about 5k a week with no real kitchen a simple agm or gm could have burgers and fried food and easily make money …

This is my first time at this establishment. Bartenders were on point with their drinks. They were friendly and sociable. They were pretty busy for a late Sunday night. I haven't tried the food, but I hear the wings are delicious. I was told to make sure I asked for the gem sauce. I will definitely be going back to try some of their items on that menu and looking forward to my future visits... perhaps play some darts and pool.. oh , and bartender Kenny knows his stuff.!!!

I haven't been back to this spot in almost 15 years. When my dad asked me to go for a Sunday Bloody Mary and some football, I tried to think of somewhere else we could go. I am SO GLAD we didn't. This place is drastically different than the dive I'd get my last call cocktail at back in the day. It's much bigger, extremely clean, amazing food and drinks (ice cold beer and the spicy Bloody Mary was top notch) and the staff and owner were soooo pleasant. We can't wait to come back. One of the very few places where your furry friends can join in on the fun.

Good service, good food and ambiance, 4 stars because they took Rock and Roll McDonalds off the jukebox

What a joke this place is. My husband wanted to go to the usual London. I convinced him to try a new bar. What a mistake. 1- get there, you can't enter through the front door. 2- we go in and sit at the bar for 10 minutes. No one acknowledged us. No one spoke to us. No one offered us service. We left. Guess where we ended up? This place sucks.

Love this place! We have been a few different times and last Saturday had my husband's birthday gathering there and we had a blast. Mag is amazing Trisha was so helpful getting us set up. Drinks are great bar patrons friendly I can't say enough good things about Gem City Grill.
Didn't try the food but this is a solid local bar. Not too divey, not too mainstream. Everyone is nice. Popped in on karaoke night and everyone was having a good time!

This place is great. Reasonably priced. Yummy snax. It's clean and 99% of the customers are chill. The only bad mark are the bartenders . Slow and disinterested. Not friendly unless you're a long time regular. Sorry folks. Time for some younger blood.

It's a nice cozy place. And the bartender is pretty chill.But folks, I regret to inform you that the Market Grill stand area in the back is now closed as of April. So much for the long-awaited comeback :(Bartender says the chef (big bald guy with beard) sold his recipes to Gelsingers in Montrose (the deli on Montrose & Honolulu). Sooo I guess I'll have to make it a point to go out there for the Angry Beast??? Anyway that was the whole reason I came in here, so I can't comment on the drinks, pool tables, food served at the bar, etc. And like I said the bartender was cool about me asking about MG, but needless to say I AM BUMMED.
Cool place to enjoy some ? and drinks.
