nemo sergesFebruary 2, 2017They have a grilled cheese sandwich that's 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 so good. And a pretty big selection of food whether you want a quick bite or a bigger meal. My friends and I usually split the buffalo fries.
E RuizDecember 27, 2014Falafa burger was excellent!! The hummus and dill pickles are so tasty in the burger. The soup blew me away. Spinach and artichoke is the way to go. Service is top notch !
Derek KucyndaOctober 19, 2012I'd skip the breakfast/brunch here. But please do get that lunch/dinner! The Castro is a Cubano on top of a steak burger!! There's sandwiches with Mac'n'Cheese on it! And Tater Tots Nom Nom!
Best local hang out in the area, plus trivia on Monday nights!
Caitlin SalzbergSeptember 22, 2015God drinks, good selection of tap beers and great atmosphere. Love when they have the windows open in the summer!
The winter classic burger is ridiculously good. If you want buffalo fries just ask for fries with buffalo sauce on the side to avoid sogginess- L KMay 6, 2015$2 Taco Tuesdays! The "Big Plates" come with 4 tacos...so probably go with 4 tacos. Also a large whiskey selection.
Excellent daily specials. Draft of the month. Wouldn't recommend for breakfast but otherwise is solid. Love the fish and chips!
Stephen HiltonJuly 11, 2013Says they have a dog friendly patio but requires the dog to be on the other side of the fence near the street/cars
Sachin AgarwalSeptember 30, 2011Ask for the whisky of the month. It'll be cheap - $5 for tippy top shelf. And get it on the rocks. You'll see why they named the place the way they did.
Alex WoolstonJuly 3, 2012Plan ahead. Add 25 mins to receive your wings after ordering. The beer won't be very cold and unfortunately you should consider bringing your own ranch. Great wings though. It's a mixed review...
The burgers are great but if its Tuesday, do the Taco special! Nom Nom.
Consistently good food and service, engaging and friendly staff and a great mixed crowd.- Linda FelterApril 14, 2014Comfortable upscale sports bar. Burgers are delicious and they have a great beer selection.
Michael HFebruary 1, 2013Pretzel burger is amazing. Sunday brunch crowd is good cheap bulk drinks. Cool neighborhood.
Try their tater tots ... absolutely delicious! Great food, great specials and great place to watch any of your favorite teams
Amber SignoreApril 30, 2013Good TVs for games, awesome bartender, half price drinks on Mondays? Fine. If I have to.
Jared HatchJanuary 31, 2011DEEP FRIED SNICKERS BAR. Followed by BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fried egg. Followed by 4$ beer specials. No better place to wear Prada work boots in boystown on a Wednesday night.
They play great music. By great music I mean chick alt rock bands. Good sliders and chopped salad too.
Shannon JeropkeJuly 30, 2012The fact that this place has a burger eating competition as an option should tell you how serious they are about their burgers!
Eva LaporteSeptember 29, 2014Don't sit by the open windows with any valuables on the table...got my phone stolen thru the window by a guy that requests that corner.
Jason GilmoreJuly 4, 2011A different Beer & Burger of the Month make this place a sure bet. July beer is Ommegang White for $4
Melissa H.May 25, 2010Make sure you try all the local beers on tap!! And if you are looking for a healthy appetizer, try the hummus plate, delicious!

Awesome weekday specials. Brunch is ok but not my favorite- Jordan VaughterDecember 29, 2011The buffalo fries are gods gift to man. This is the best burger joint in town.
- Must get the Leroy Brown! Pulled pork and mac'n cheese in between texas toast... genius!
Michael LorenzenMarch 9, 2011For bar food, has some amazing healthy options like the hummus plate and Falafil burger.
$2 taco night can be fun. Your server may disappear, but enjoy the cheap eats & good beer!- Jay Cutler Omelette (Denver style) and a boss hog bloody mary. Saturday morning specialty.
Good food. Service is uneven. Avoid during festival weekends!
The $10 Mimosa pitchers on Saturday and Sunday are so worth it.
1/2 priced burgers on Wednesdays = great delicious deal- They always seem to have a great beer on special. Ask your server!
Here's why I rarely four square. They randomly have discounts anymore
LindseyOctober 21, 2009A non-frat bar in Lakeview - thank God. Terrific burgers. Great specials. Oh, and a "rock" in your drink.
