"We went in here after dinner for a quick bite before watching the Blackhawks game, not knowing much about it. It's definitely a club atmosphere, but after work was not crowded and almost awkward because it was mostly empty. Our waitress was just okay, not checking in too often (we were a group of girls, after all) but the food was good although a little pricey. I don't think I'd be back."

"This place is definitely drink-oriented however the menu is very very limited for both drinks and food. While I love the ambiance and the servers are quite lovely, this place has a lot of limitations and is meant to be a drink em down place and it is quite obvious. The food is fantastic and from what I understand, a second thought as it comes from upstairs at Baume and Brix. This place needs to define itself and it can be even more successful. Nothing bad to say but nothing stands out either."

"So many speed bumps throughout the experience that we lost count. The hostess and assistant manager were great, as is the design of the place. Double drinks were half of the strength of normal ones anywhere else. Went out for a smoke, told the waitress, and our untouched drinks and food were cleared off the table. Our bill was 120$ after over 80 was taken off by the manager. Oh, and it was charged on the wrong card. Kind of a mess, but TVs were plentiful, game was on, and wifi worked."

"Our server was great - full of recommendations and actually knew both the food and drinks menus. Manny (the manager on duty) was also very attentive knowing we were there for a special occasion - very friendly! Overall really enjoyed the dinner and the drinks!!"
