I’ve visited here plenty of times in the past and have enjoyed myself. But tonight it was different. I was here for the Organized Crime L.O.A.D party. I was told it was an inclusive party and the bar itself was too. I didn’t get that experience once the crowed started to pick up. The bartender in the back right corner bar started ignoring me after having a tab open with him for an hour. He was deliberately serving everyone else around and even the people that walked up after me! It got to the point where I needed to ask a friend who was standing to my right after noticing me being ignored to ask them to close my tab. They then proceeded to ignore my fiend after that. I wasn’t over-served, and I was invited to be there by a host of the party… I’m not sure what I did to deserve this treatment, but it really bothered me to the point I went home. I don’t know if I’ll be back anytime soon.
I love this place. It’s the gay bar for everybody who maybe isn’t a pretty boy. Dive bar atmosphere with three distinct spaces. It’s the place for puppies, kitties, bears, cubs, daddies, kinksters, etc. Where else can you find a kinky space in Chicago, as well as a place that is frequented by pups, daddy and human pets. It’s nice to have a place in this city.
I have a complicated opinion on this business. The manager Joe and the bar staff are amazing and inclusive, and make sure the bar is a safe space. There was, however, a significant layoff of staff who had been at the business for years and made it popular with regulars. Events like Sunday Bunday draw in a crowd of regulars, and it is a space for me to catch up with people every couple of weeks. The current owners of the bar have a difficult time managing their public perception. In early 2022 they received criticism for canceling the event CODE. In response, the owners responded by banning the event organizer for expressing frustration with the bar. Businesses have the right to do this; however, the public also has the right to express criticism of private businesses. There has been a significant issue with sewage odors recently--it goes beyond back-alley bar charm. It doesn't seem like there has been much progress in addressing this over months.
Apparently I am no longer 21 according to this place. Went next door and they accepted my ID fine.
I usually have a good time here so I brought a friend who was visiting and my friend went to the bar to get me a water and the bartender rolled their eyes at my friend for whatever reason.
If you’re above 50 please don’t come to this bar, my boyfriend got kick because he’s older and they only want young people at the bar, it’s not a safe place for all people and it’s not inclusive, it was really painful to see my boyfriend crying because of this situation. I asked for a explanation to the manager and he just ignored me.
Good drinks especially lemon electrical and the crispy chocolate chip was really strong and tastefull. Thank you for the nice trip. Would recommend
Very fun establishment for a safe time. I left my jacket and Alton was very helpful and nice to find it for me. I’ll be back
First time there. Bartender was a bit snippy but it was partially an odd night. I’d recommend for sure. Careful of people being grouchy with out of towners
Sorry but what I though it was a good community turned out to be a bunch of thief’s, my jacket was stolen. Not a safe place in Chicago. Not worth it.
