This place is on another level! Literally, the bartenders are so very easy going and they have two bars on two different floors! Easy place to get lost in the sauce but the energy here is on a different level! Don’t forget to buy the Burton Place Baseball Caps!

We weren't sure what to expect on a Friday, but finding seating was surprisingly simple. The drinks were well-made, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. A good Chicago bar experience.

We came on Monday July 6th and had a wonderful time! We came to see Anna who was guest bartending and she’s our favorite! As long as she is around we will be too. Love this bar, love Anna!

This is an Old Town joint. Tap beer tasted like ketchup. TV playing MLB network in February. Bathrooms look like a murder scene. Other than that...not a bad place.
