Gio's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Lake View Township

I echo the last female reviewer Meg Casey. Gio's is such a small bar that it's entire existence hinges in the personality of the bartender. I wish more bartenders understood that every person who walks in the door has money to spend. Whether you'd hang with them IRL should be irrelevant. Whether you like them or think they're weird or whatever issue you've got with that person, you should tell yourself that person has money to spend so "maybe" I should be nice to them!

But instead what happens is that these bartenders treat their bar as they would a clique in high school. If they like you, you're IN, and if they don't, you're OUT. Jaime has done this to me where he decided he didn't like me, so I stopped going in and spending my money because of how unwelcome he's made me feel.

Gios is my neighborhood bar. It's on my block. I have been going here for 3 years. But when Jaime got hired, he decided he didn't like me, and made it clear that I wasn't welcome when he worked so I stopped going. I was going here for a full year before Jaime got hired, and he took my bar away from me. And this new male bartender with the gotee is definitely a woman hating misogynist.

Y'all bartenders need to be nice to each and every customer that comes in. We have money to burn. I make 6 figures personally as a female, and would gladly drop thousands in here if y'all were nice to me. But you are not. So I've taken my business to Platform 47.

This new bar is amazing and they are NICE to their customers. GEE. A...

I live in the neighborhood and I visit this place pretty often. The last time I went, on Thursday night, I had a server that I have not seen before and she was a little unprofessional in my opinion. I forgot her name, I believe it started with a D, but regardless, I have been a server in my past and the way she talked to me and my friends... was unsettling. There was a negative vibe, negative conversation, and I heard her gossiping about her fellow bartenders. Once again, I have been here often enough and I usually have a great time, typically having good simple conversations with the bartenders but this past time left me feeling a little frustrated. I just thought I'd share...

First time coming to this awesome place. I called beforehand to make sure that the patient area was dog friendly and indeed it was! Major points for that! The staff was so kind from answering the phone to the service we received. Upon arriving, we had Eric be our server. He was very attentive and very kind. The food was great! Drinks were refreshing and I felt so grateful to have been able to include my fur baby. Thanks so much Eric for making us feel at home and being attentive throughout our entire experience. Will definitely be returning. We hope to have Eric be our server again. He went above and beyond despite...
