Female bartender couldn’t figure out how to close my tab. She refused to give me my credit card back. Now several weeks out I notice she charged my card multiple times for same purchase due to her ineptitude and I had to dispute with credit card company. She was also incredibly rude and threatening.

So much fun. Small bar with great bar staff and fantastic atmosphere. Get there early if you care about holding the microphone. Fun all evening, but after about 10pm it gets really packed - elbow to elbow. Loud and full of people dancing and singing. If that's your kind of karaoke, it's the best spot in Chicago.

The karaoke host can kick rocks.
Maybe im petty but he REFUSED to let me sing Grillz by Nelly because it “is a vibe killer”…WHAT?!? Look I get it’s not the best song on earth. I know it’s not a classic like Sweet Caroline or Mr Brightside or any of those other overplayed karaoke songs he let slide…but come on man respect the request. Two different CREED songs were played that night (I was one of them) but god forbid we let Nelly make an appearance. I even explained that my entire extended family was there and this is kinda my thing and everyone will be super pumped and he just hit me with a “too bad”. Im actually mad. I pooled together $140 and the guy still turned me down. I’ve never met a karaoke host so absurdly stubborn. I hope he reads this. I hope that song follows him for the rest of his life. I hope he meets the love of his life and falls deeply in love only to find out their favorite song is Grillz.
Drinks are pretty expensive too.

Bar is generally fine but the karaoke host is on a power trip so that he gets to sing duets with his friends and tell you you aren’t allowed to sing after waiting two hours because he wants to hang out with his besties. And I got several mosquito bites inside the bar

Shout out to Russel for making our birthday night here a special one!
We had a blast brasier of him and the rest of the staff!
"Where friends meet" is more than just words that the bar say they are about. Friendly neighborhood bar that welcomes all. Staff members are kind, attentive and make you feel at home. Diverse alcohol menu. I've never experienced or witnessed any issues and will continue to come back to this hidden gem!

Caution to queers!! I was harassed by the bar back as I left the restroom. They insisted I was using the wrong facilities and made me feel incredibly unwelcome in the space.

Death to real bartending here. Measured pours instead of teaching how to be consistent. I just moved to the neighborhood and someone recommended stopping by. I did, bartenders never said a single word to me other than business interactions. I was by myself. Randomly was given popcorn but I have a lactose allergy… don’t know if I could eat it or not.If I wanted to be neglected, could’ve stayed home and had my own drinks. See you never, Louie. :/
