I went here for my cousin's show, which was GREAT and the only reason this place even gets a review. There was no acknowledgment from the staff when we walked in, and they were late opening the place. Plus, in order to get a drink, you have to wait for 25 minutes or more. At least during our visit, the craziest part was that there were two people working. They are just slow and, I think, high as they hardly even notice there are people waiting for drinks as they make and drink their own. For sure would not EVER go here again unless it was to support someone outside of the people running the place.

Interesting and pretty good place amongst the growing popularity of Corktown. The Bartender was nice enough but service could have been better. The food is good! (Cheeseburger). The upstairs music venue is small but not too bad. There is a bar there but no one manned it...let down if u wanted a water or a drink. I like the blue collar charm..the Patrons are nice. Music was hard rock this eve! It was great!
