| - This place is a Chicago Bears bar and so, my husband and I, who are Bears' fans, thought that it would be nice to go further out of town for a change to watch the Bear's game. We had been here once before and it wasn't anything spectacular. This time around we sat at the bar. Before I go any further, it's important to note that this place will reserve seats for you....During football season....on a Sunday....At the bar (or in booths).... Have you heard of anything more ridiculous? I've always been around Sunday Football and have learned that you need to get there early or you don't get a seat. That's part of the package that comes with watching football at a bar or restaurant. Anyways, we managed to find 2 of the few seats that were not reserved. But, I know the people, who were sitting next to us had sat down before the "reserved" signs had been put up, so the Bartender later told them that those seats are reserved and the people who reserved them has until, I believe, the 2nd quarter to show up. So, those people had to move (because the ones with the reservation were there). We noticed that the bartenders were really nice to them and bringing them refills right away and chatting with them, while my husband had to wait a long time for them to bring him another beer, even after 2 of the bartenders walked by at least 10 times (no exaggeration). So, basically, if you make reservations you get treated better, which doesn't make any sense.
Plus, the prices were ridiculous. Especially, for the service and treatment we were getting. I do not recommend going here. Maybe the Buffalo Chip across the street treats their customers better.
This is really sad, because, I don't want this to reflect poorly on Chicago, or Bear's fans or anything associated with the two. This place needs to figure things out and hire new staff. The reservation thing needs to go. That's just stupid.
