    This was the late find of CCBW 2012. Of all the venues amidst Damen|North|Milwaukee, I wouldn't have gone here had it not signed up. Good tap selections, & an array of infrequently-seen packaged ones.

    Found through foursquare and it was great! If they have the brunch menu, go for the croissant sandwich. Delicious!!

    It was such a long wait for service. Server was distracted and it wasn't busy in her section. I wanted to spend way more money; it's easy to do because the prices are gold coast territory. $$$

    Been going here since it opened 20 years ago. Atmosphere still awesome. Blue Margaritas have sadly declined in taste & alcohol content.

    Pitiful service. Had to wait 15 mins after I finished a drink to even order a new one. On a Sat. At 2pm. With about 8 full tables out of 30. I watched my server simply ignore our table, incredible.

    Skip their food- it's not that great except brunch. Go for good drinks and fun music or to watch a game.
