Two glowing fireplaces warm this charming salon, including one in a slightly elevated section outfitted like a library . Check out hearty dishes like the chicken pot pie or the lobster mac' n' cheese . Read more

A neighborhood classic with expansive food and drink menu. Great for all times of the day and groups of just about any size. Friendly servers and nooks keep this large place cozy .

Jordyn Nevers

Love the Mac and Cheese . Spinach and Artichoke dip is always a pleaser too! The patio is nice in the summer, but it gets busy so you might end up enjoying the breeze indoors through the open windows.

Kat Ochsner

Wonderful staff and amazing food! I like to bring a book or a redeye and just sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders . So beautiful when its all dolled up for Christmas !

Shycu

Had a quick lunch on the patio . Had a yummy pear cider and a chipotle turkey burger . Turkey burger was messy to eat but very flavorful. Great people watching . Parking could be tricky.

Do you like spicy ? Try the chicken sandwich Nashville style. Cheese curds are good, too. The whiskey sour it’s weird, more like s sweet cocktail , stay with an honest drink.

John Pierce

Interesting bar/pub, unexpectedly large and comfortable inside. Large brunch/lunch menu. Chick BLT was sizably good. Vanilla French Toast also very good. Nicely garnished Bloodies, we've seen better.

Excellent atmosphere. A classy business pub that is great for dinner , a beer , or doing work with a Whiskey . Check out their unique interior library !

Time Out Chicago

Once inside this sprawling space—which has separate areas for eating pub grub, watching the game from the bar and even reading (in the cozy "library ")—you just may find yourself wanting more.

Rishad Tobaccowala

This place has a good beer selection with 15 and 75 in bottles ( why bottle though). Drink here then eat at Bombay Bliss a block down ( BYOB )

Natalie Quam

The Irish American skillet is one of my favorite brunch things ever. Lots of meat, lots of food, and so filling.

Everything here is quite tasty but I must warn you...the servers, they are all great people, but seem to be a bit spacey. Order things ahead of time!! You might have to ask twice for things!
