I came here for the first time with my sister and friends. The DJ was "ok" and there was a live small band with a lady singing when we walked in. Once she left, the music selection was not really my style. The food was good though, someone had some BBQ plates for sale which saved the place in my opinion. The bartender was the WORST. She had a very bad attitude and was only attending to the men flirting with her. The manager or owner I'm assuming was even worse. More than likely wont be back. But this was just MY opinion. Maybe your experience will be better.

It's not huge but quite accommodating for a decent size event. The decor is attractive also the arrangement for sitting and dancing is well too. This was my first time being there and from what I experienced even down to security search, I would inquire renting it for an small event.

During my visit to Chicago I had the pleasure of visiting this place with my good friend. The vibe was right. The drinks were made to perfection and the food was fresh and so delicious. The music was a flawless mix of new school and old school R&B/Hip Hop hits that made it hard to stay in your seat. Dancing is welcomed and good times will be had. Definitely on my list of Favorite places in Chicago.

Its a small but great place to have a nice Martini in the southern suburbs no longer do you have to travel all the way downtown.

The bartender was rude. She made my drinks wrong and kept cutting me off. The tortillas for the tacos were hard like crackers. The place is too small. Nice DJ but I wouldn’t recommend this bar to anyone!

I went to a birthday party here and the dj was really good. It holds a decent amount of people.

The place was packed, no parking, drove around for 10 mins before a park opened by the Dunkin’. The drink line was very long and it took a minute before the bartender took my/our order however, they were very generous and the vibe was great. I would go back againService: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Let me tell you about this place on Wednesdays.. it's a very relaxing atmosphere, friendly, music on point and drinks even better. They do have catering, and the food is lit. Y'all come on out and enjoy Wednesday to get a break from work 730-10:30p. Come on through, and you'll see me. When Taj is behind the bar, you'll leave here better than you came. 😉
