This is as Tavern as a Tavern gets. Cool little place and super nice staff. Plenty of room for a band and getting your dance on. Street parking is plentiful.

Easy to park. They had a live band. Only one bartender who was overwhelmed and not happy, but became a lot happier once the tips started rolling in. Not a big beer selection. This could be a nice spot to see local bands.

Walked in after hours to have a couple of drinks. Bartender took more than 12 mins to serve me a drink noticing I had nothing to drink. She served the same people more than twice before coming back to me. Shitty bar. Come to find out people got shit at their bar 3 months before!!

I give an overall 3 star. The place is great to have a drink or 2 but beware after 2am. I want to say around 1 month ago there was a horrible fight so I'm a bit hesitant to go here going forward.

Very cool old school bar in the Jefferson Park neighborhood. I walked in about 1pm while my wife and daughter went over to a Target next door. I was the only person in the bar and had a couple of cold Old Styles. Bar was very clean. I'm pretty sure they just opened. Friendly bartender. Quick service No complaints. I don't think there were any food offerings. I could be wrong about that since no one else was in the bar around lunchtime. Looks like this place could be rockin' later on in the evening. I saw some posters for live music, and there was a small stage. Would definitely like to go back when it was a little more crowded to see what it's like. Definitely a local watering hole.

I've been to this place a few times on the weekends. They have various entertainment there. I've gone when there were bands playing and I've gone when they have a DJ there, which was fun because he was playing retro dance songs. The people seem nice there. There has not been any trouble the times I have gone. My girlfriend and I have felt comfortable there. I'd go back when in the neighborhood. Drink are a good price but no food, that I know of.

I was approached in here by a customer who was flooded with drinks from a careless bartender and called the N word numerous of times and she put her hands on me the bartender did nothing and called the police on me and when the police came one guy assaulted my other friend and they didn't even arrest the guy all they did was make us leave only to find out they let them stay and we were kicked out in the world we live in this is unacceptable and beyond disgusting behavior of that establishment i even called to talk to the owner to get the footage of that and file a complaint but they said the cameras were off that day which I find hard to believe overall it's a drug infested gang orientated bar that's mixed with regulars who are addicted to cocaine just watch how the bartenders switch off to the bathroom every 15 mins and how they give out free drinks for drugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!
