"You don’t go to Bandit for the food, which is hit-or-miss. You end up at this smallish spot in the West Loop because it feels like a house party - the kind you used to go to that used Apple Pucker as a mixer, and had a keg in the basement. Come here for drinks and bar snacks (like fried halloumi or pretzels with Merkts cheese) before giving your new look a Big Night Out in the neighborhood." - adrian kane
