Owners also actively harass and attack those who bring up ANY concerns and issues, approaching them in a very unprofessional, abusive manner.

I love this bar but apparently they no longer let you play the switch games anymore on the weekends.. bummer because that literally was the only reason I came here.. fabulous drinks though..

Drinks are pretty inexpensive here. Lemon drops were $3 and house margaritas were $8. The house margaritas are straight tequila thou, they're very strong. There's also games you can play in the bar like smash Bros and Mario kart. And physical games like darts and pinball. Bit of a tight spot but not uncomfortable. Everyone fights over the jukebox so if you don't upgrade your songs to express, you'll never get to hear it played. Open late

Met up with a friend after work today with $8 cash to burn.
Decided to get a Chicago Handshake, and I tipped the server $3 from the $5 bill. I wanted to wash down the taste of Malort in my mouth, so I asked the server for a glass of water. The server stated that serving a glass of water was not allowed and that patrons are to pay for bottled water. Considering I had a fixed amount of cash on me, I was not able to purchase a bottle of water. I also was not aware of this policy for this bar, so the server let me know it's for all the 2bear bars in Chicago.

Never once have I ever visited a bar that absolutely refuses to provide a glass of water when requested, especially after having paid for an alcoholic beverage. It appears other reviews also mention this odd policy of not providing free water. The owners seem to be retaliatory to reviews that call out this unfortunate policy.

I will stick to bars that provide free water instead.

Overpriced drinks, rude staff, and they charge for water!

Go to Max's where the drinks are cheaper, staff is friendly, and the water is FREE.

Only make you buy bottled water instead of giving water. Why would I drink if I can't hydrate

Friend had been hyping this bar up for awhile because they had Smash setups. Pull up a little after 1am and were there until they closed at 4. The whole time they didn’t set up Smash, Darts, or the popcorn machine despite multiple people asking. Get told that bartender doesn’t feel like setting up the games when he works the weekends. Big shame cause it’s a nice venue otherwise.

Bartender had to remind me that he works for tips when I asked for water at the bar. Been a server for 5 years and never said that to a patron for simply asking for water. Maybe he was stressed, I don’t know, tipped him for the the water, but inappropriate way to speak to a guest. Not a great first impression :(.

Mediocre bar. No Long Island? But the margarita on tap it’s pretty decent. It was dead Friday at 6 o’clock. A lot of other better bars in the area in my opinion… used to come here, but I feel like this person went downhill. We left and went to another bar that had $10 Long Island and great music with less abrasive bartenders.
