Review & Rating

Service is excellent even when they are busy. There was fast, efficient, and courteous service. They have a lot of positive reviews for a reason.

Great place to meet and catch up with friends. Looking forward to coming back with my coworkers. It has an awesome atmosphere.

The bartenders are super friendly. The food is great! Try the chicken sandwich Karaoke nights on Wednesdays are a blast

Great food, kind staff members, consistently excellent mood. They charge fair rates and the food quality is great. Kudos.

The place offers a great variety of delicious food. I enjoy dining here. Staff members are always very nice, rates are fair and the place is always kept clean.

Good local pub with decent food. I tend to go during the off hours in the late afternoon. There is a good group of regulars, which always to me signals a mark of quality. Decent selection of taps and a nice selection of whisky. There is one pool table and a darts board and some tvs. They also have trivia and live music at various points during the week. I'm not sure what it says about me, but its probably my most productive place to work on my dissertation!

One of my preferred spots to grab some food. very good location, always clean, and fantastic service. I recommend this place!

got there near seven, it wasn't very crowded. the bill was well within reason for the quality. they have so many good reviews for a reason.

Not sure what went wrong, did a search for a specific NFL team's bar... This is very clearly a Bears' pub (not the team I searched for). But Lord love 'em, the staff and clientele were all very accommodating to us fans of the opposing team. *Edit once the food arrived: seriously decent grub, and service was above and beyond. Mackenzie (sp?) was very hospitable, even checking on previously tapped kegs to ensure we had some fresh Smithwick's.

I visit this place a lot since I work right next to it. I got to say their service is always great and they keep the place well organized at all times. Prices are convenient and they serve large portions.
