Great local bar with live DJ and other acts a fair amount of the time. Come to experience friendly staff and a cozy feel. Open mics and karaoke weekly are especially fun.

I would highly recommend skipping Brudder’s for takeout on a Friday afternoon. Maybe it’s better on other days. Or when you’re absolutely hammered. But in that case, just get a killer bbq plate from down the road. Or a mediocre Dominoe’s pizza. Almost everything was inedible (speaking as someone who hates food waste). The first bad sign was when we walked past the kitchen windows and saw the (only?) kitchen employee slowly scrolling on their cellphone. Bad wings. Bad quesadilla. Bad fries. Horrendous cheese curds (Wisconsinites beware).

This place is a true gem, I come here for lunch all the time. Their daily specials are amazing especially when comparing quality with prices. They have some of the best wings in the city and their burgers are awesome as well. The staff is very kind and attentive. Drink specials here are also a plus! Highly recommend.

The place is fun, great food and prices. We went Friday and they had a local band and the quality of the speakers was horrible, too loud with no bass. The A/C was blowing too high that my food got cold fast and between the extra loud cheap speaker system and the A/C air blowing extremely high, did not enjoy it. I will come back just not when live bands are playing.
What a great venue for local bands on a Friday eve with rad food, to boot. The Chicken Avocado wrap with tots were excellent. My only note was I asked to hold the bacon, and it was still included in my meal. Not as big a deal for me since I just picked it out and gave it to my partner, but for those more stringent with dietary restrictions, just make sure to really voice them assertively.
But the tots were off da hook and so this lovely wrap around bar will be visited once again.

The open mic is great love the staff and stage is great!
Im a very loyal costumer come here twice a week Food is great however service is not that great I asked the women with tattoos for a drink she took her 45 min she will walk pass me look in my eye and continue to serve others I walked up to the bar to ask the guy that was working their for a margarita since she forgot or whatever the case was I flicked her off from far she came to my table to took mine and my husband food away and told us to never come back this is very disappointing unfortunately. Today my husband went to ask if we can come in and coworker stepped saying he can't serve us because he can't go on top of his co worker. This place doesn't believe in customers first. How do you not correct this bad service.

This is the coolest local spot in Northwest Chicago. They day-light as a sports bar but they're really leaning into local music and talent and the party seems to never stop. Watch the Cubs win, eat and drink, sing at karaoke/open mic, or book your band on the weekend. It's non stop!
I stopped by to have lunch at one of my favorite stops in Chicago. I walked in sat down and the bartender got me a corona and took my order down. Noticed she kept on staring at me weird as I was drinking my beer and eating my food. She kept providing attention to other people and being friendly with other people and not showing that to me. Also, she put the air conditioning on so every one’s food got cold. The vibe was definitely off with this bartender weird looking Wednesday Addams type of way. It’s better I believe coming at night so she not there

Try the mini burgers, stay for the entertainment. Excellent venue for live entertainment and food/drinks.
Parking: The only con is the gigantic parking lot attached to the building, thats unusable due to belonging to a mexican banquet hall.
