I've had mixed experiences with this place. This was my third or fourth time checking The South Side out. I was attending an event with a few friends. We were able to get a few seats together at the bar.
From the get-go, the bartenders seemed disinterested. This continued to be evident by the fact that I sat with an empty glass for over 10 minutes at one point without being approached. They had run out of the proper glasses to make our drinks at one point, so this delayed us ever further.
The happy hour was a decent deal. They have a few good appetizer and cocktail specials. We had a few of "The Shandy" cocktails between us, but it was like rolling the dice each time because the taste varied with the bartender. A couple times the ginger was so overpowering that it was almost impossible to drink.
Overall, I enjoyed this place a majority of the time. It's a good place to come during the happy hour and they currently have a deal with the local CLEseats phone app that allows you to get 15% off of your food and alcohol tab. I'll be back to give it another try to sway me again.
