    Love the concept, great musicians, great drinks (buckets are cool), good finger food. Excellent choice if you wish to have fun all night long in Chicago. I make sure I never miss it when I'm there.

    Anyone who successfully attempts an audience request for "Turn Down for What" and then blows it out of the water on piano has my full attention and applause! Love this bar.

    I love the live music! Come at night. Be ready with one dollar bills for tips if you're going to request songs. Great place for friends who like music.

    Eclectic (not everyone is a backward ballcap wearing/jersey shore wannabe) lively crowd, lots of fun. I'd recommend getting there early (7pm) if you want a table. Otherwise you'll be standing all nig

    Live music and happy/party environment. It really depends on the night and the crowd... but it's a good bar, nonetheless.

    This is a FUN place to go with a group of people! I've never not had a great time. Be sure to submit your song requests to the stage...or the music turns to those who do (i.e. country music or somet

    like live music and long nights? that's your place. Quiet crowded during the weekends. Drinks in buckets with straws - a culture that has been invented by german tourists in spain.

    Make sure you get there early. It is worth the $10 cover. Energy is off the charts.

    It's fun but it gets crowded quickly. The drinks could be better too. I only go here to celebrate birthdays because it's not really like a go to bar.

    Great music. Friendly staff. But just stick to drinks and don't order any food.

    A little over-priced, but the crowd-engaging experience is one that you should at least check-in to once or twice!

    Go for a few drinks, you will undoubtedly see drunk, middle-aged conventioneers attempting to boogie. Can be quite entertaining!
