One of my regular spots! THE BEST STAFF anywhere in the city! The clientele are from all walks yet mesh together like old friends. Live music, AWESOME STAFF, huge cigar selection, giant heated outdoor patio (for smoking), good people, and cheap drinks! HIGHLY recommend you start your evening here, or come in after dinner since they stay open 'til 4am. I promise I'm not affiliated with them other than visiting multiple times a week, but I seriously feel like I could do a free commercial for them, LOL! Wheelchair accessibility: Sole access to the building has you enter from a downward staircase, so there is no wheelchair access
Una pianista riceve le richieste del pubblico e canta all'ingresso. La birra scorre a fiumi. Ci si urta. Si ride. El Toro ci dimostra come bere una pinta di birra in 2.3s cronometrati. "Va giù per gravità" ripete più volte, dopo aver battuto - alla seconda pinta tracannata a quel modo - 49ers, da cui onestamente mi aspettavo di più. Racconta una storia confusa in cui da piccolo gli davano il latte in polvere e lui lo buttava giù così. Il Boss insiste che si deve andare al Blue Chicago e che qui insomma, non benissimo. Siamo fuori dopo mezz'ora e prendiamo i due taxi che sono davanti alla porta. Ora, è un peccato non poter recensire quei taxi - o poter recensire i nostri cervelli, in alternativa. Cosa succede? Saliamo in taxi e diciamo "Blu Chicago". 45 secondi dopo, siamo arrivati. Google dice 5 minuti a piedi. Il fenomeno alla guida chiede 59$. Non 60, 59. Segue discussione - nemmeno troppo animata in cui viene proposto di fare venti e morta lì, ma lui insiste. Con arroganza El Toro scende dicendo "Buona fortuna con gli affari" senza pagare. Ci vediamo al Blue Chicago.
We always enjoy are time here. It’s remained a staple of my Chicago itinerary for almost 20 years.
Pre-Covid: Was dressed in business attire and denied entry by the bouncer due to my shoes (black running shoes) but wife was allowed to enter wearing casual clothes and sneakers. Hoping this place has changed when I travel to Chicago this year.
I have been to redhead a couple times and the piano player is the only thing that makes this place worth visiting. Impossible to have a fun time with a large group because of overcrowding. It took a very long time to get a drink. The bartenders do work hard which I respect. Also, my group recently had a very negative experience with the door men who turned us away when we were celebrating a 60th birthday because they assumed the birthday boy had too much to drink. I understand the right to refuse service but nothing was out of the ordinary. They were threatening and rude as they turned us away. Be completely sober before visiting these door men or you will have a similar experience.
Had the BEST time here! Staff were very welcoming. Entertainment was a 10! Highly recommend!
Hatte einen super witzigen Abend. Tolle Atmosphäre, voll, laut, Livemusik, coole Leute aus aller Welt. Schnelle professionelle Barkeeper mit top Service. Gut sortierte Zigarrenlounge.
