Was just at Northdown with some friends and decided to chit chat with the owner/manager to try to score a CHAOS discount... This place is legit. I can't say enough good things about them.
Tom, the manager/owner, is most recently from Map Room where he, as he puts it, learned all his beer knowledge. Furthermore, he sat down with us, offered us free beers, and chatted with us about craft beer, &c.
According to our server, they intentionally mark UP the Miller Lite to $5 so that people are enticed to go $1 more for the very good selection of $6 craft beer instead.
Numerous vegetarian - and vegan - alternatives to their meaty dishes.
They have actual PINBALL machines there!
Whether or not they offer us a discount I would recommend this bar ten times over any other bar in Chicago. Was extremely impressed. Extremely impressed.
