    It was soooooo crowded, I have never seen it this crowded and all my visits to second-story bar stay for one cocktail. Will come back next time, but during the day and holiday weekend, they are always super nice. Reminder cash only bar.

    Small cash bar, the drinks are always flowing and conversations are always pleasant. Nice chill gay bar.

    I like this spot. Reminds me of dives back in late '80s & 90s. I slide in whenever I'm in Chicago. What ya see is what ya get.
