Great Bar  4 Star Rating - Very good

On weekends, be sure to checkout the pub's house band, which plays an average of seven sets a night. The employees and clientele are distinctly Southern, and proud of it. Service is great and the drinks ar cheap.

Fav bar in all Chicago!  5 Star Rating - World class

I can't rave enough about this place. It looks incredibly sketchy from the outside, but on the inside you will find the beer is a flowing and the country western band is playing till 4am! In the crowd, you'll find your cowboys, your college students, your grandpas and your 20-somethings, and everyone eager to turn up a heel. It really gets going past 2am, and it well worth the late night!

Lots of fun!!! 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Went there on a Friday night, thought it was a dive at first but it kind of grew on me throughtout the night. Band was good but they didn't know any new country songs only the old stuff. Waitresses were old and strange but friendly. Beer was expensive compared to what I'm used to paying. A pitcher of Lite and 2 bottles of Bud was $22!!! Bathrooms needed work. It got very crowded with yuppies after 2a.m. but it was a good time.

Pros: Good music
Cons: Expensive beer, dirty bathrooms

Can you spell KARAOKE 4 Star Rating - Very good

This bar has the best karaoke in Chicago. Picture a bunch of hipsters and que ers mingling beer to beer with the down home country folk. It's fabulous. Super fun and very loud. This bar is fabulous to hook on some ironic country gear and saddle up for a Bud.

Pros: cheap and oh so fun
Cons: some of the customers can get a wee bit homophobic

Best prices, and best dancing! 4 Star Rating - Very good

A fun atmosphere, with music that really gets the crowd going! If you plan to do any serious dancing, it is better to get there early. After midnight, the floor is more of a mosh pit. A great time to be had, if you time it right. Lots of good dancers there! The Wednesday band is good, but the weekend band rocks the house! Especially when Reva is cranking them out!

Pros: Good Music, friendly people
Cons: too crowded late at night. All the 2 a.m.bars empty. and show up there

A PREPPY bar with verbally abusive bouncers 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

It's packed with preppy people trying to act non-preppy by going to a bar that's labeled a "dive." Pathetic! My second time there, the bouncer SCREAMED at me for sitting on a bar stool at the bar. He threatened to kick me out if I didn't shape up. I asked what I did wrong. He said I was sitting on his stool. Um, how was I supposed to know an empty stool at the bar was his? I'm a 5'6", 115 pound girl getting verbally abused by a big, hairy bouncer. I left and never went back. My first time there, the bouncers kicked me out of the bar after last call when I was just waiting for my friend who was in the bathroom. Then they screamed at me for standing outside and waiting for my friend. You can't win. Go to Carol's if you like verbal abuse.

Cons: Mean bouncers, Preppy
