10/10 experience. Will definitely be back. Along with the amazing food and drink the complimentary popcorn was lovely. Our server Julio was very attentive, quick and friendly. Highly recommend coming here on your trip to the Windy City!

Our family had a great time sitting out on the patio last week. We live up north but we never get downtown. We really lucked out with this place! Nothing like a Guinness outside on a summer evening! The service was great as well and we liked our servers energy! I believe his name was Adam but I can't remember. He was tall with brown curly hair!

We had a nice waiter who put up with our touristy order, 😆 a Chicago dog and the Chicago handshake drink. Sat inside to avoid some of the humidity and enjoyed our meal but if it was a little cooler the outdoor patio would have been sweet. Great little stop on our way to one of the boat tours.
