- jla113aberdeen262 contributionsWe saw this when googling things to do in Chicago and as we were travelling from Scotland we booked well in advance to get the best seats. And it was worth every penny. We were entertained in the bar before the show and once through in the small theatre, treated to some up close magic. The host was excellent as she shouted out anyone having a birthday or celebration so it all felt very personal and inclusive, get the premium seats ad you get to see some more magic after the main show in a very small up close theatre. We loved it, highly recommendWritten April 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sara SChicago, IL9 contributionsIf you're looking for live jazz music, this is the place to be. It's never crowded even when it's full, the acoustics are great they have wonderful cocktails and it's not expensive. We've been going often since they opened. We have never been disappointed.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BradHong Kong, China160,110 contributionsHaymarket is a pub on W. Randolph Street that we recently stopped by while waiting for our table at Au Cheval across the street to become available. They have a good sized indoor seating area as well as a few tables near the bar. Several tellies behind the bar showing sports games.
Drink list includes a good selection of handcraft beers. We enjoyed a porter and blond that both pretty good, easy to enjoy while watching a bit of baseball and basketball on the evening. Would be happy to pop back in for another round if in the area if in the area again.Written May 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She looked out for us flight attendants and really made the experience great. Def recommend the pasta 10/10 and her hospital was definitely a 10/10 so if Andrea is working you will be taken well care of no problem!Written September 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chattoMichigan118 contributionsI saw the amazing Improvising Jane Austen show, and it was so well-acted and clever. The cast was comprised entirely of people who identify or present as women, and they had great timing and chemistry with each other. The wait staff were friendly and seated people quickly and served them drinks and snacks without ever interfering with the audience’s enjoyment. The performance was charming, just the right length, and easily seen multiple times as the casts cycles through and the premise changes each time. The theatre building is easy to fine and everyone there is super friendly.Written February 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sam104 contributionsGreat customer service, staff was nice & friendly. Bowling was fun however they need new bowling balls and pool tables. Had the buffalo wings, they were small & not the best quality.
Pricey but Happy Hour is optional.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And even if you haven't watched the tv show, it's still a typical suburban American bar to visit. There's a sports rerun and the atmosphere is very cool and typical.
There are bar goodies to buy: $20
The waitress was very nice to us!Written April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Martin MColorado Springs, CO19 contributionsIn town for Riot Fest and checked it out. If you love IPA’s, this is the place for you. The taproom is located in the middle of the brewery on the upper level which gives you great views of the brewery. The long heavy wooden tables and benches make it easy to gather. It reminds you a bit of being in a place like the Hofbrauhaus in Munich Germany. Good implementation of Ovid protocals. Even better beerWritten September 19, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kristin H.Greensboro, NC3 contributionsService and staff were great!
Well drinks are adequately priced but any mid or top shelf liquor was ridiculously expensive. Other than that the biggest issue we had was that the women’s restrooms were up two full flights of stairs from the main bar.Written March 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great place
Friendly staff
And we even went back in for a second visitWritten October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Drinks and food were fantastic. Staff was very friendly. If you’ve ever been to a Trader Vic’s, this has very similar vibes. Will definitely go back in future trips.Written April 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Itinerant_FoodiesGreensboro, NC634 contributionsThis was our first visit to Moody Tongue and we were very impressed. Part of the appeal was that they offer a beer pairing in which beer is paired with many very complex and subtle dishes. We are used to wine pairings but a beer pairing was worth a try. The dining room has a dark, more utilitarian ambiance which suits the theme of the restaurant. One thing that worried me was that neither my wife nor I like very hoppy beers and those are currently the rage. I figured we'd be giving the beer steward a tough job but it turned out that no one of the beers was hoppy. They were sour or fruity etc. and we were really impressed by how well they paired with the food and how well we liked all of them. All of the courses were delicious, complex, and quite different from all of the others. There is true artistry going on here! The only issue we had is that sometimes the next course of both food and wine would come before we had finished the beer we had for the previous course(s). The server(s) should communicate with the kitchen a bit more in case customers are slower to finish a particular glass. There is also a sizable amount of beer consumed with the tasting! I wouldn't recommend having any other drinks shortly before the dinner.Written March 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CourtneyMDAuburn, ME484 contributionsFun neighborhood place. A few blocks south of the museum campus on Michigan Ave. On a Saturday late afternoon, it was pleasantly busy (and somewhat less pleasantly noisy). They had about 6 beers on tap, about half of which seemed like they were from other local breweries. I had two pints, both of which were good. Prices were a little steep. Service was a little slow and bland being as it seemed there was only one guy tending the bar at a fairly busy time. It looks like they are kid and dog friendly. Worth a stop if you're a craft beer afficianado visiting the area.Written July 22, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathy K9 contributionsWe went as a group (business) and the stand up comedians were more than entertaining. Was a great spot to spend the evening in and it is small but cozy.Written October 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarmiteCochrane, Canada77 contributionsA fantastic fun find. Younger me, that played some of those games on release, will be very angry at older me for this: the music could be a couple decibels lower - it was just at a level that made conversation more of an effort that it should've been. Good selection of beer. The hurricane fries are either the best invention ever or the weirdest (nori flakes on potato is a new one for me).... not sure. Will probably have to try them again ;-).Written October 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
