This is the go to place for casual dinner and drinks in northern downtown/Roosevelt Row. A bit run down (in a good way), you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in, to a hip vibe that lacks pretense. Beautiful view of the city's skyline at night, and the live music nights can be fun although some are definitely better than others. Oh, and they're open late with the kitchen serving food till 1 am on most nights.
The drink list is quite extensive, and the bartenders know their stuff. The food menu has some tasty and creative sandwiches, I recommend the pear, the prosciutto and fig, the southwest chicken, and be sure to try orzo side.
