Ruthie G. • June 26, 2019The macaroni and cheese, hands down. Best in Chicago.

JenKudu • June 20, 2014It seems the food is overlooked by the whiskey menu. Had the 2 course tasting menu and it's great. Devils on horseback and oysters Rockefeller are decadent. This menu def holds its own. Well done!

Pedigree Brand • November 10, 2011Dogs are welcome in the bar and outside in the beer garden. There are many ales to choose from and free pretzel sticks at the bar.
