Speak easy vibes set the feel of this old school Chicago tavern. Mix in live music Thursday through Saturday and your environment is cool and complete for a great dining experience. Think Supper Club. Dinner at the bar is also an option with the full menu available. Ribs, Steaks and Seafood front the fare along with fantastic sides and soups. Don't sleep on the Burgers... served with fresh cut fries. The Baby Back Ribs take top billing and you can pair them with your choice of seafood including fried shrimp, steamed crablegs or half a chicken. Quality and consistency in both food and service are worthy of your dining dollar. A recent make over of our side room has inspired Club 45. A perfect private room with a mix of seating arangements for lunch, brunch or dinner affairs. Let us host your next gathering of 20 to 50 guests. Free parking is available right next to the restaurant in the Huntington Bank lot.
We thank you in advance for joining us,

    We used to be regulars at this neighborhood haunt but haven't been here in years. It was nice to see that things are largely the same (possibly better, actually). The food was terrific (stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, bread, soup, gumbo, jambalaya, salmon, and, of course, ribs). The service was fast and friendly. The noise level was a little high because the place was full and there was live music. Overall, though, we were very pleased.

    The ambiance was pleasant, the Jazz music was so relaxing, the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. It’s a speakeasy type of vibe with live performances on Thursday evenings. Check them out if you can.

    Food was delicious. Fall off the bone ribs. The old-fashioned is delicious. Looking forward to a new spring summer cocktail list.

    Just a great place for a nice, more upscale but not too fancy, meal for almost any occasion.

    I had a reservation for 4 people at 6:30 pm on a Saturday. Two of us arrived at 6:30 and I was informed by the hostess that it is the restaurant's policy that no one would be seated until the entire party was there. If this is their policy fine, but I think it is pointless to wait in a very small reception area when you could be sitting at a table ordering a drink or appetizer to the benefit of the restaurant. When the rest of my party showed by 6:40, we were left sitting in reception until 7:00 as we did not want a table in the bar which was very loud. If you are planning on dining here, make sure you specify that you do not want a table in the bar or you will probably have to wait.
