BEER HEAVEN!!! – I'll keep this short, almost ANY and EVERY beer that is domestically made and/or can be imported into the US is HERE!!! Over 500+ varieties of beer from around the world plus about 12 taps to choose from...trust me, you can go around the world of beer in 1 night (just not all 500 beers at once though =) ). No wine, no food (except for some bar mix here and there), just BEER, tvs, and 2 pool tables for your entertainment. A must try on your visit in the Bucktown neighborhood.

great beer selection, comfortable atmosphere – i've been here on a saturday night (lots of people but i never feel crowded and i've always got a table) and on a weekday around 5pm after work. the weekday brought an after-work crowd and some patrons drinking beer and studying, reading, etc. it was perfect- i've always said i wished coffee houses served booze for thsoe times i want to read the paper and drink (just not at my house). the bartenders offered excellent suggestions for my requests.

Beer heaven – Non- pretentious atmosphere, close quarters and fabulous beer selection make for a wonderful bar. This is one of my newly christened favorites for it's extensive beer menu, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and laid-back environment. I have enjoyed many a relaxing pint here while avoiding the hipster crowd. Patrons and staff are genuine and true beer afficianados. A+. (Does tend to get a bit smokey in the back though.)

horrible staff – if you are in the mood to be harassed by men on ego trips, feel free to stop by the map room. each bouncer likes to feel as though they have dominion over every customer and can play god with the door. for a better locale and more courteous staff, i would highly recommend the bar down the street, Floyd's. no attitude and a great bar experience.

About a dozen taps keep up with the consistent post-Gen-X crowds. – In Short Subtitled "A Traveller's Tavern," the bar is decorated with shelves of books, globes and giant maps. For patrons who want to take a virtual trip, Internet access is available. This is a bar for true beer lovers: About two dozen taps and more than 70 bottles span the globe (naturally), brewing styles and seasons. In the mornings, folks gather here for coffee from Java Trading Co. and Red Hen pastries.

Family Run Bussiness ! – This place is great. It is family owned and run and they do not miss a beat. It is clean, has any kind of beer you could ever crave, wine, food and so on. Great place to go with a group, happy hour, and for a wine tasting. Once you go once, you will return within a month guaranteed.

Packed, but fun – The service was fast, considering the place was packed when I went. I liked the maps on the walls and the books in the shelves. This is a good place to hang out and hoist a few beers.
