    The reason this bar rules: holographic keyboards appear on tables, letting you update your status on Facebook and Twitter, and message other tables.

    Any place that offers beer hoppy enough to be represented by two rabbits banging is good-to-go in my book.

    I didn't eat the food. I just went for the music and the dancing. I realized that if you're a not tall, white and busty girl, the bouncers will make you wait outside for an hour.

    The Waygu Brisket Dip sandwich is so delicious! The bread is soft and beef is extremely tender. Try it with the Cauliflower Mash, a nice compliment.

    3 servers before they get it right. Food okay at best. Brisket dry, pulled pork fatty. Chicago resident 20+ years.. go somewhere else. Good beer selection. It is a douchebag place.
