    I have never witnessed such immature and unprofessional behavior from a manager and bartender. Our group heard the manager, who we were told was named “Rob”, yelling profanities at a group of young men, even threatening that he would “f*cking kill” one of them after they were upset with the service. Additionally, the bartender was taking shots nonstop through out our time there and probably broke up to 5 glasses in front of us. Needless to say, we did not feel safe and left immediately.

    We used to love this place. Then we came for a drink, had an open tab, and when we went to close we were told our card wasn’t behind the bar. We don’t have our card on us. Is the card the floor? Was the card stolen? We will never know because there no effort made by the bartenders to find out, only a shrug and a “too bad” Avoid this place unless you’re willing to cancel your credit card and get a replacement after

    The little short bartender girl here is a Karen. Weirdo.

    This is a super friendly neighborhood bar with a lot of choice and a really chilled atmosphere. The staff and the customers were so nice. It was our favourite place for a beer in Lincoln Park

    Old school dive bar with class. No frills, the old wooden bar is gorgeous, and the bartenders are as friendly as can be. I love that they keep classic beers on tap like Delirium Tremens. Even met the owner-- he's a very nice guy! Overall, great vibe and maintains that old school authenticity and strong sense of community.

    Some of my die hard google maps fans know that I had to show some love to the Marquee Lounge in Lincoln Park. One of my favorite spots to hit on a late night to have several (a lot) drinks and completely end people at billiards. I only drink spirits though which explains my often ecstatic manner.

    Came by right after open and what a nice place! I love the open windows leading into the street and service was quick and easy. They have a room in the back with a pool table, so I great place to come and hang out. Highly recommend stopping by!

    Nice spot, threw down some dance moves and they loved it. Great time, bartenders know what they're doing. Would revisit.

    “Just” a simple pub. Clean and well- decorated, but relaxed and under-the-top. Seriously wish there were more bars like this in the city

    BEST bar in Lincoln Park! Jordan and Slav are some of the best bartenders you’ll ever meet!

    It was my first time at this place, and the bartender (I wish I had her name) was extremely nice! I enjoyed my time here, especially because I saw a wide array of age groups in there! I will be back :)

    One of the best bars in Lincoln Park. Pool in the back room.

  • 5/5 Bill S. 9 months ago on Google
    Always like this place. Maybe a little loud but i say that every place that plays music. But the bar is cool, gets a fun crowd and the service is always good.

    dive bar in the heart of lincoln park. great place to pop in for a beer if you’re in the area

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Marquee Lounge - a nice bar with a couple different areas. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and a nice crowd. Good spot for a weekend/evening hang our or chill by the open windows during the summer.

  • 5/5 Justin H. 1 year ago on Google
    A great little hole in the wall. Good beer and liquor selection. They have the only free pool table in the area. Friendly and fun place.

    Fun little neighborhood bar!!!

  • 4/5 David Vega (. 1 year ago on Google
    A cool little corner bar overlooks the street with pool tables extending to the back: drinks and a variety of micos with music box jamming all night. Staff friendly, people eclectic, and fun, relaxed vibe. #tridence.

  • 4/5 Mimi 1 year ago on Google
    this place is really nice with friendly staff. the windows are open for a breeze. the only thing is that it gets pretty cram-packed and is hard to move through or get a spot. i wouldn’t come here solo to hang out, but i was here on a saturday evening so maybe it’s more chill on a weeknight.

  • 5/5 Xiling Z. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite bars in Chicago! Pool table is alway free and well-maintained in the back room. Super friendly staff and they serve seasonal Belgian beers on tap! Could get very busy on Friday and Saturday nights.

    This place explained to me what a Chicago bar is. Abbie explained to me what a good bartender is. Highly recommend you come here during Abbie or Phil’s shift! M-F4-8 or 8-close

    Dont expect pool on the weekends. Great weekday spot for pool. If you go on Friday or Saturday they have a strange policy that if someone spills on the table the shut the table down for the night. Part of me gets it as spills ruin tables, but instead of banning the perpetrator they ruin everyone's time. Don't expect pool on the weekends.
