"The bar was sold to the owners of Links Taproom. It will close temporarily for 10 to 14 days starting on Thursday, July 14 and reopen with a more craft beer focus. The menu will be revamped to include items offered at Links such as sausages, loaded fries, burgers, and cheese curds. The changes are not meant to radically alter the bar, which has been a successful business for years. Existing staff can keep their jobs. The bar was first opened in 1994 and was the first bar venture of Four Corners." - Ashok Selvam

Really liked this place. Friendly staff. Good food, much of it made from scratch, and even pretty good variety for a not-super-big menu. They have vegetarian options. Lots of TVs if you want to watch the game.

Ordered the cheeseburger. Received w/o the fixings. Asked for the fixings. They brought me what's pictured. My buddy got the outer part of the onion and they gave me the inner rings lol. The tomatoes appeared to be cut for a salad... Idk. So the cook didn't make what the menu said, the food runner brought us obviously plain burgers, the cook threw together the scraps pictured after we asked, and finally the food runner sees nothing wrong with the scraps and gives them to us. My buddy and I looked at each other like ?? Apparently they just reopened. I think this is relatively important feedback.

Great beer selection and music was. I ordered a turkey burger and the hummus and guac plate. Both were pretty bad. The atmosphere made up for the bad food.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was delicious and the drink specials were outstanding. Always ask what the specials are here, as they always have some great deals!! I saw they have construction going on now, but I can't wait to go back. Food was good, a chill sports-bar type atmosphere. Friendly wait staff, I will be back!!

Great spot that was recently remodeled on the inside! Great selection of beers with live feeds of how full the kegs along with gaming some great choices for food. This spot is also great for sporting events and such as it had many TVs in all directions no matter where you are sitting.

I only have one visit here to base my judgement off of, but this place was pretty cool. Went here on a Saturday that the Cubs were playing in the World Series from Wrigley. Of course this place was busy, but it was still tolerable, and by the time I got there, there was actually some table space for my friends and myself to chill at. It was a fun, festive environment, and great for the Cubs. They lit sparklers all at the bar (how fun!). Despite being so busy, I was able to get drinks quickly- I'm sure the bartenders must have been exhausted from pounding out drinks all night, but my bartender didn't show it and was really cool.

We sat at a table and the service was good! The waitress checked on us frequently to see if we wanted another round of drinks. We ordered the totchos which were delicious. They were out of the coffee stout I wanted to try. I ordered a rosé cocktail and the portion was quite small (maybe 4 ounces) and fairly weak. It tasted good but was not worth the money, IMO.
