Pizza there is terrible. Crust always tastes burnt. Cheese like melted plastic and the sauce way too sweet. Worst tavern pizza I've ever had.

I was headed to the hotel to chill before work the next morning. So, I stopped by for a beer. People were in there having fun, talking about sports, and the bartenders gave a family vibe.

Kasha is very nice and Baasha as well . They work different nights but very pleasant. I appreciate their customer service. Treated me and my co workers who were on a layover very well. Good prices far as drinks and wings. The wings were flavorful. They also have a daily special which I feel every bar should have. If you are bored there are a few slot machines and a good amount of TVs available for sports.

The woman bartending in the morning (Theresa?) was absolutely charming, sweet, and provided excellent service. Bar was clean, great selection of beers and drinks, and overall a very enjoyable place for us to kill a couple of hours before flying out of O'Hare. Probably will make this a recurring stop when flying out of Chitown.

Didn’t know how to make a cocktail. The blonde bartender treated me rudely when I asked for the featured cocktails? I guess they don’t do that here .

They charged me for more money than I wrote on the tip line. And it wasn’t even an amount I could understand changing it to by mistake. I called to ask about it, and they said “sorry, I can’t do anything, call on Saturday when that bartender would be here.” She didn’t seem concerned.

Besides that, all 3 times I’ve come here, the bartenders act like I’m not there. They seem to strongly prefer serving the men there. This last time, I saw the bartender look directly at my empty drink and kept walking around and coming up to other people asking if they need anything when they weren’t even waving her down.

I don’t understand why I was treated like that, I was never rude to them. I think since they’re younger women they know the big tips would come from the men there. Notice how 95% of the good reviews on here are from men?

I even tried to tell the owner their bartenders pay no attention to me and she denied there’d be any favoritism. She was a very sweet older lady and I believe she believes herself when she said that, but even the people I was with noticed how much I was being ignored without giving them a reason to.
