I live on the East Side, so when we hang out with our West Side Friends we try to meet up somewhere in between... In this case between was Tremont, at the very cool Treehouse bar.
The place itself is really nice. Has an artsy / Indie feeling, and a great selection of beer with cool art and stuff on the walls. We went specifically because on Monday night they advertise all day Happy Hour and $5 burgers. The drinks are all $1 off which isnt terrible i suppose, but nothing to write home about.
My only complaint was that the $5 only applies to I think two offerings, the one we got (Tremonster) was still billed as $9 and that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth since we werent warned when i asked about the specials.
The pretzel appetizer we got was excellent though, plenty of salt and cooked perfectly with mustard to match. The burger was great, though not worth $9. All in all a nice place, especially on a quiet rainy Monday night.
