Editorial Review

Brother bar of Humboldt Park's Green Eye, this bar is the original. Once the legendarily scummy domain of local dogs, their owners and maybe a random prostitute, it now gets select upwardly mobile professionals during the week, and a whole roomful of them on Saturdays. Staff remains down-to-Earth and friendly even when forced to put up with weekend wankstas. [RED CHECK]Though the hookers are gone, a still-large selections of beer and board games will keep you entertained.
