the female bartender Saturday night (9-27-25) was incredibly rude when all I did was walk in and ask for a beer. I even apologized to her if I somehow came off as pushy or rude. she had a serious attitude and was incredibly disrespectful to a complete stranger. I am a bartender and definitely would not greet my customers like that. not only will my friends and I not be going back but I will be sure to tell everyone I know not to visit this establishment! in fact if you're reading this there's an Irish pub just a few blocks away called Chicago Street Pub with excellent and friendly service!

I am a bartender in a relatively large town and I would never treat or talk to a customer the way the female bartender treated me Saturday night (9-27-25). I went up after a concert at the Forge to meet a friend. Sat down at the bar and asked for a budweiser. I was in no way pushy or rude I even told her I apologize if I somehow came off that way. She immediately got an attitude with me proceeded to cuss me out and then walk away. The male bartender came over I told him what happened but he just said he didn't witness it basically backed her which I get but her behavior and attitude was uncalled for. I will be telling everyone I know, and I know alot, not to visit this establishment. In fact I was so upset by the way a complete stranger in the service industry treated me I took time to leave a review, which i never do! Hire people who know how to interact with the public because that girl definitely isn't it!

Small but interesting place. Didn't have any food and at least the beer selection was in a fridge and well organized with some unique selections.

Stopped in a couple times after seeing shows at the forge and this place does not disappoint! Good vibes and awesome bartenders. Shoutout to Anthony, Steve, and Monica for putting up with me and my crazy friends and for cooking up the best frozen pizza at 1am!
