Rlly dissatisfied by their bouncer. This child is underage, he should be home playing chess. Denied my friend with a '98 id for it being expired.

Cool Chicago-based bar! All things Chicago and it was awesome. Bartenders absolutely rock! Great live music on Saturday night.

Visited on a Wednesday night - decent size crowd. Was supposed to be karaoke night, but they didn't have it due to plumbing issues.Ordered several beers, a Jack & Coke, and a Mule. Cocktails were decently made. Prices very reasonable.Service was good and attentive. Fun, divey atmosphere. Would recommend for a fun drink (or several).

I loved this bar. My friends and I were in town for tonight, drank there during the day, got to know the bartenders, the playlist was WuTang and awesome. Left to go get dinner and told them we would be back, and when we came back, the bouncer tried to hit us up for $5 a piece. Made it clear we were just there, with guys who drink. The bouncer tried to "cut us a deal" and make the cover less, GTFO.

If you are looking for a crowded dive bar this is it! This place was popping, fun band, cheap drinks, and so crowded. Tight little ally where people come out to talk. This was our last stop after a long night out with a wedding party. Not really our preferred style anymore, but if you are getting wild or still in your 20's this is a great spot to end the night.

Great dive

Me and 3 friends recently paid were forced to pay a cover charge of $10 each which is perfectly acceptable but we had friends come in not 3 minutes after us and did not have to pay the cover charge of $10 which is very dirty business practice and I was wondering the policy because the supposed manager talked to us and said they just randomly choose who gets in based on if your a regular but they clearly let people in when we sat outside who they had no idea for no cover so as you can imagine this is pretty unsettling and left a very bad feeling among us.

Brandy is awesome! Great music and cool vibe for an afternoon duck in to have a drink.
Popped into the Burns Alley Tavern for a drink or three before the comedy show at nearby Theatre 99. Loved this clean, friendly dive bar on the back alley around the corner and hidden! Although there wasn't live music when we were there, I guess they do have rock shows starting 930pm. It was refreshing to order a round of drinks for two people under $10! Bravo!
