too many backwards baseball caps, polo tees & girls who are way overdressed and wearing impractical shoes (basically, the type of people you'd expect to see in wrigleyville/lakeview). what happened?

They´ve got an INCREDIBLE whisky selection! Ask Mike if you can try his bottling of Highland Park!

Almost did not feel worthy being there. Such a great place. Largest Bourbon selection I have ever seen, and prepare to be educated on all that they offer.

Does it make sense to have private parties book the entire upstairs until 12::30pm on a Friday night? No, no it does not. Otherwise, stay upstairs. Usually less crowded.

Go to Delilahs and sit at the bar. Ask the bartender what special scotches they have, and order one. Go on, you deserve it.

The cleanest part of this bathroom is Jeremy's mouth, and even that's pretty filthy.
