Five stars because I don't have anything to say that is significantly negative about this place. They have bands playing frequently in the back room. Tuesdays are a good night, and they have a band on Tuesdays often. They could have a higher preponderance of hot female bartenders, I suppose. Also, although they have a pool table, it is a 6-foot table. Bar tables are normally 7-foot. Also, the felt is black, which would be cool if you could actually see it.

But even if the music isn't to your liking...there's the entire front bar to enjoy! I recommend Aliveone...

Always bring my out town friend in when they visit, and tell people at my bar to come when they ask for the best spots in Lakeview/Lincoln Park. Especially if they like pool and PBR! $4 PBR had been a staple of this place for years. Sad to see it go. Old style is alright I guess. Not sure who wants to pay $5 for one tho….
I still recommend visiting. It’s honestly one of my favorite places in Chicago. Pretty dumb to replace a staple of the bar with...
