Nisei Lounge — Restaurant in Lake View Township

We went to this bar with my friends on Friday April 11th, and everything was going great, the bartender was awesome and super efficient. Then we took a cigarette break with some of my friends, and the bouncer (in a red hoodie) started to accuse us of things, without telling what he was talking about. He said they were calling the cops, first saying customers were mad and then saying we had used fake money (most of us hadn't even closed our tabs yet). He threatened us, telling us to close our tabs and leave (acknowledging we hadn't closed our tabs, so that we couldn't have used "a fake 50 dollar bill" according to his new version). We were spooked so we went to close our tabs, and when we asked the bartender about the cops, she told us that wasn't true, that she knew nothing about that. We left anyway, and when I told the bouncer the he lied to us and that it wasn't ok to do that, he started being way more aggressive, to the point where we had to leave quickly so that things wouldn't go out of hands.

This is a cool bar, again the bartender was great, the drinks are cheap and good, but threatening us, lying about calling the cops on us, for absolutely no reason, and hence ruining our evening, then getting aggressive is something I can't understand.

So sadly, I and everybody else in the group...

I've never felt so cheated or disrespected at a bar in my life. A big group of us went there for the Cubs game and the staff treated customers like they were below them. They made no conversation or were friendly to anyone but themselves behind the bar, and on top of that were quoting people different drink prices for everything and kept raising it. We ordered rounds of the same drinks and noticed they kept adding on a few dollars each time. Me & all my friends felt completely ripped off when we realized this was happening. We also requested a beer on their craft beer list and they told us they didn't have it and recommended a completely different type of beer in a can...we shortly noticed after we purchased the beer, that we could clearly see the beer we requested in the fridge. They lied to sell a beer they wanted to get rid of and later when we pointed out the beer we originally wanted that they said they were out of, 2 of the bartenters just laughed out loud in our faces and walked away. The ABSOLUTE WORST my friends and I have ever been treated in a bar. I have many friends in the industry, and everyone working at this bar gives them a bad name. I will never be going back to have myself or my friends treated like...

Very rude bartender. I went in there earlier to ask a simple question about an inquiry online I made. Just to confirm/ask if a reservation would be needed. To come in this Saturday for a little birthday get together. And he says he didn't handle the emails there. And that he wouldn't be there Saturday. Ok? Then says this is a dive bar no reservation is needed. I understand that and we've been there a few times. I just went in there to ask and make sure. Since many bars in Wrigleyville have things going on during the weekends or are busier right now. I was still being polite but as I was leaving he looked irritated and shrugged his shoulders. When I said ok all good. I understand working in the industry is often stressful. I work in the industry too. But it's not like I went in there when it was busy and asking them tons of questions. Which I wouldn't have done. I asked two questions and him being a rude prick was uncalled for. We definitely won't be back there. Thank you to the person who was polite in the...
