My girlfriend and I popped in before a show at Thalia Hall for a quick vegetarian meal and a drink. We sat at the bar and it was so much fun. The music was funky. A band was setting up who looked fantastic, and our drinks and food were delicious. We split a yummy fresh Goat Cheese Salad along with sides of mushrooms and spicy vegan greens. The House Margaritas were delish and we can’t wait to go back. The time was perfect we were in and out in 40 minutes. Next time we come will come and see the band at Honky Tonk because they looked so good. Vegetarian options: We eat, mostly veg, and there were many things to choose from. The sides are so good from vegan to vegetarian. Mac & cheese mashed potatoes, vegan collard greens sautéed portobello mushrooms that were so good and a choice of salads. Love this place for veggie food. Been coming for years.

This place doesn’t know what it wants to be. The food is magnificent and the bar is fantastic but it’s trying to be a restaurant, music venue, and a bar at the same time. It’s a really cool Pilsen place though and my snobbiness shouldn’t dissuade you. Go for the food, go for the music, go for the beer.

Wanted to love the spot, as had decent vibes, live music, and people there were cool overall. But had a bad service experience, was charged for wrong things, so ended up paying about $40 for a drink that should have been $10. Initial wrong charge of $30, plus getting charged $10 again. There was a third transaction, but that one was posted correctly. Server claimed they were cancelling the $30 charge, which took 15 mins, and then charged me $10 again. But turns out I ended up paying again instead, as all the charges posted to my credit card and nothing was cancelled. It was a busy night, with only one server on bar. It took a while to get my first drink, which then rested on wall for 10 mins before it was given to me, seems they forgot about me. Which is fine, since busy I guess. Second drink I ordered was never given to me, which can happen if server forgot, so just got a beer instead, which took some time since it was busy. I thought it was on tap, but turns out was can, which fine, I should have asked to make sure. But what really made it a negative experience was being made to wait 15 more minutes to cancel that fee that never was cancelled, and then paying again for nothing. Makes me think might have issues if go there again. Don't really want to be checking my bank statement every time I go to a bar just to make sure they're charging me correctly. Sucks since service otherwise was friendly and good. And last time I got food from there it was delicious. If you have to get something refunded they're supposed to give you a credit statement receipt for it, which I know now, if anyone has a similar experience. Or just pay cash instead, to avoid the issue maybe, and check your receipts. To be fair could have been an off night, but just unpleasant to have to go through all these hoops on a night out.
