    This restaurant was so loud. We literally had to text each other across the table to be able to have any kind of communication. I would not recommend it.

    Stopped in for an early dinner and drinks before a Monday night Second City show. The pub was a perfect location, right across the street. We received prompt service for drinks, then had the fried pickles and two really great burgers. Easy and good place to grab a bite before the show.

    Extremely noisy. We sat outside in the back of the restaurant. Music was too loud. Plus the customers talking made it difficult to have a conversation. Service was excellent. Food was not great.

    We got there early. Our table was ready waiting for us. Server came right over, she checked on us numerous times. The only issue was my order got messed up. It was not a big deal. They offered to fix it. I was fine with what I had. If you are heading to second city, it is very nice and convenient directly across the street and you will really enjoy yourself and the food
