Listening to the manager and security bouncers outside talk about who was easiest to drug and take home was a major turn off.

Simple no frills burger and drinks. The smash burger was delicious.
It was a little loud and crowded, however that is expected on Friday evening.
Service was great and the communal seating makes for an interesting experience on the patio.

Absolutely delicious food at incredibly cheap prices! I went here for a date and while it was a tad bit crowded the tasty cheeseburgers, greasy fries, and the free cheeseburger they threw in just because made up for it!
We waited about 5 minutes till a seat opened up and then ordered food at the bar. After that we waited about 20 minutes for our 2 burgers and fries.
New favorite bar in Chicago. Great drinks - everything from cheap beer to high-end Whiskey and proper cocktails. The burgers (only $6/each) are phenomenal - order two of them and a side of fries if you're hungry. Great vibe and friendly service. Damn near perfect bar.
Dive + fantastic cocktails
The best bee’s knees on the planet!
Rueben was nuts. Burger was ideal. Drinks were delicious. A must stop for people who work in the service industry. Lots of options for all

Such an amazing neighborhood spot. The staff is amazing and obviously the burger here is a must try.
Update: Finally got to try the burger. Don't think I'll go back there for any reason. Somehow the service was worse and the crowd cringeworthy as some patrons were making fun of a handicapped person.

Didn't get a chance to try the burger will be back. Bartenders are pretty lousy, trying to keep up with whatever version of themselves the neighborhood dictates, so awfully predictable.
If you like beer you'll love Schlitz.
Cocktail connoisseur here: this place is fire. They are good at combining flavors and using cool techniques. I went for the bartenders pantry book release party and it was a really great time. The space gets a bit packed but it’s well worth it. They had 5 or 6 drinks on the menu and I ordered them all. The wondermint malted is so good haha. I also got a burger and fries. Pretty solid for bar food but nothing I would seek out otherwise.
Favorite bar in the city! You can tell the bartenders really know what they're doing. We had the one who looks like a Midwestern Travis Kelce(?) and he took great care of us.
