My wife and I have been going here since they opened and can always count on this location for consistently good food, great service and decent beer. Although they have a pretty big beer selection, there’s only a handful which are new and unique. Try to stick to happy hour for specials if you can for the best bang for your buck.

I’m a fan - love the pizza, which has great buttery crust. Sports on the TVs. And loads of beers, even if most aren’t very high end or rare, you can usually find a couple that are worth ordering.

Visited this establishment with a friend who lives near by. The layout is typical Old Chicago with the the bar area and the restaurant area split up. We pnied up to the bar in order to be closer to the beer and watch a hockey game. Bartender was pretty nice and offered to give us samples of anything we wanted. I had gone specifically to try the Odell Myrcenary DIPA and we soon had 2 sitting in front of us served in a pilsner style 10oz glass. Truth be told the only reason I wanted to go to OC was to try the Myrcenary as I haven’t seen it on tap at other bars. The atmosphere was decent with lots of people coming in post work to eat/drink. We stayed for several beers each and the total was only about $35 so each beer was about $4-5 each, not too bad given its a bar. The selection was decent enough with lots of both draft and bottle. A lot of the sraft is fairly common stuff though. I’d go back if in the area.

great bottle selection at this location. got a pizza to watch sports on the uber-fine ultra huge high-def. TV. Next to the now extinct watertower brewery:(

I live near here, so I have been here quite a few times. I’d go there more often, but the tap lines are so dirty that many beers are unrecognizable. Stick to the bottles. Otherwise, just like any other OC.

just like other old chicago’s, only plus is this one probably gives downtown a run for it’s money with the women.

A good location since I bowl in a league at EP Lanes next door. Pretty decent selection compared to most bar & grill places. Usually there are about 10 new seasonals, although some are mass quantity beers that I have no interest in. I was impressed that they carried a Rogue Christmas beer (Saison style). Love the wait staff, especially some of the cute girls.
