Place has been renamed and customers do not know. Poor marketing. Menu has too few items. Dead atmosphere. Cheeseburger was very greasy. Mac and cheese was spicy. This place did not meet my expectations.

It’s no longer a Cubs bar and the name was changed. I was told that happened 3 months ago. Food was decent. I got a Chicago dog. The bun was a thicker, it was tasty but hard to pull apart. Servers and staff were nice. Atmosphere was average.We went to Ricochet a bar that was 3 min walk away, that place was fun!!! Free ping pong, pool, Old school hockey game, and giant Jenga. I give Ricochet 5 stars.

Service people were very attentive, food is great for a small diner/pub.

We had the buffalo chicken salad and tenderloin sandwich with fries. The salad was fresh and had great buffalo flavor. It came grilled which was perfect! The tenderloin hit the spot and the fries were done just right. Would totally reccomend the food.. the atmosphere was really cool, too, and was Chicago cubs themed!

Found a gem downtown. I went there at a very slow time but had a great time. Must be an awesome place to watch games. T.V.s everywhere and place is layed out perfect and theres a patio out back with what looks to be a beer bong table.The best part was the bartender. I think her name was Camey. Very friendly and talkative with great service and her knowledge of menu, beer and bar items was perfect.I will definitely be back next time im in town hopefully during game time.

Stopped in to crush some beers and watch Thursday Night Football during a business trip. Great apps, great service, and generally good bar food. Altogether awesome sports bar experience.

Nice friendly place. We had 8 people going to a play and they made sure we were out in plenty of time.

Customer service sucks on football Sunday. They tried to lie about what time a game was on so that they didn't have to switch one of the channels.

Honestly, my food was pretty awful. I got the sausage sandwich and it's starred as one of the customer favorites and it was not good. And the Mac n cheese is literally pasta in their weird queso. My tots were greasy AF. No one at our table complained about their food but no one finished it, or took leftovers home. Our appetizers were fine. But I would not go back again.

Sara is the best bartender I've ever had!!!!!!! She's super nice and personable! Will be coming back!

It was a Friday afternoon and after a stressful week of work, I made my way downtown to find some reprieve. What's that I hear? A wooden guitar, echoing off the not-so-high-rising buildings of the heart of downtown. I found the source of the elegant strumming coming from a local watering hole: 1908 Draught House. On their patio, I found the oasis I so desperately needed. I found peace. I found live music. I found heavy fisted libations. It was bliss. I had the c** wings, I highly suggest

Just saw a group of blind folks stand at the entrance for 15 minutes while multiple wait staff mulled around them and did not help. We finally had to flag a waitress to help them. I’ve never seen such unbelievable ignorance and poor service.

They serve "food", although they do not have any high chairs or booster seats. The food was DISGUSTING, and anytime we wanted service, we had to go find one of the half dressed waitresses vaping outside.
