Duckin' in from the rain on a weekday business trip, I found a really welcoming atmosphere here. The bartender was so friendly and made me feel right at home, even during a quiet afternoon. I’d happily return to this Chicago establishment.

Overpriced and smells bad. Staff was super rude when I asked if they accept IL digital ID.
