South Loop Club

Came in late night for a quick bite. We ordered buffalo wings, a polish, fried shrimp, & a Philly cheese steak to go. They give you a good amount of food. We had enough left for take out. The wings are delicious. Polish looked under cooked but I didn’t taste it. Shrimp looked like frozen boxed shrimp. Hubby said Philly was just ok & he wouldn’t order it again. Service 2night was OK. I have mixed reviews on their service. I’ve experienced everything from nightmarish to pleasant. The waitress 2night seemed to be in a daze all night. But became coherent when it was time to pay & tip. GO FIGURE

Poor service from the Manager. The hostess was tolerable but she was not allowed to pour the drinks. However, she appeared to be disinterested in her job and only focused on the 2 young men who paid her no attention. I tipped her about 45 percent on each Guinness beer but she treated me as though I was a leper! Save your money and time and go to Theory bar on Hubbard Street.

If you are an international person, be ready to leave as this assholes can’t identify any id’s issued by any country but the states. Didn’t wanna go to this rat hole at first place, should have listened to my own gut!

If you’re looking for a half-​assed dive bar this is your place. Food is good but the people that run the place have no etiquette and can give a shit about service. Only go here if you expect to be disrespected

I dig it. I was visiting a friend who bartends around the block. When in rome, go where the locals go.
Everyone seemed friendly and we fit right in. Ordered the Gyro, Wings, Fried Veggies and Vegetable Pizza. Our food took a long time, I looked over to the left and saw they have a separate room roped off that was a takeout restaurant, so even though the bar wasn’t packed I assume they were doing a lot of take out. When we left I saw three people next to me get handed to-​go bags also for road munchies. Drunken food is their specialty, our food wasn’t outstanding, but it did the greasy trick.
An extra star for the friendly bartenders Ukrainian accent and the old man helping in the kitchen and do dishes, he made our night. :)

Great dive bar conveniently located near the office. It’s perfect for free popcorn and a quick gin drink before heading home after that Tinder date didn’t quite work out. One of the bartenders is a Sox fan who takes verbal abuse from his north side rivals quite well. What a sport!

Alright. I do not know what the deal is with the reviews for this joint.
I have been in town for 6 days. I have been here with my team 5 times. This place is solid. Good drinks. Good prices. Great service. (Just trying the food, now.)
The servers have been friendly and attentive. The pacing has been top notch.
Give it a try. Worth a shot, at least. I bet you like it more than you expect to.
Roy, Jimmy, and Jodie are servers who make it happen right.
Recommended.
Drew sez: check it out.

I accidentally ordered a nonalcoholic beer because it was their special. Sent it back as soon realized this and the manager refused to take it off my tab WTF, who makes a nonalcoholic beer the beer special???

Ok this place is my favorite dive. Every time I go, the crowd is totally different. The staff is fun and their open every night it’s a great place to pregame and after a night out for a cap. The food is not very good, but it’s great for a drink. It’s a very local place, it’s a bar that’s probably unchanged since it opened. It’s a fun place whenever I have been there, AND I would highly recommend it. I am always treated well when I go and I think it is a lot of fun.

I order the gryo it was very good i will be going back for sure!

I wanted fried garbage and a beer, mission accomplished. I ordered the curly fries and the $ 5.50 PBR tall boy. It was everything.
Aside from that, this is a great dive bar. The owner even has his work desk on top of tables next to the bar. The best.

I came here with my friend during a late night food run. She was very satisfied with her burger and fries. I enjoyed my beer and appreciated their broad range of beer and drink options. I can definitely see myself coming back for late night food next time I’m in the area.

Stopped in here on Friday, had a few Stellas, i used to come in here many years ago, it was a great neighborhood place lots of character, now it looks even better this would be the place to go after work to meet the group or to meet new people, i didnt eat there, but i will go back and try there food, Jody the bartender was very nice to talk to, she makes you feel like a regular, they have several beers on tap, and there is a lot of room for larger groups, i liked the placed it gave you the feel of a Chicago bar in a neighborhood where everyone knows you, i will defenetly go back

Horrific. Absolutely horrific. Don’t even THINK about visiting SLC.
I’ve walked past SLC for years without ever having an inclination to stop in. Yesterday one of my coworkers decided that she wanted to have a gathering there so a dozen of us decided to walk over there.
We got there about 5:15 and there was only one big party there. There was a huge group of men there about 20 deep. We sat right next to them even though the other side of the restaurant was empty. There were about 15 of us in my group.
There was one waitress there. She was an older lady and she appeared to work solo until after 7pm or so. There was a bartender and another guy who was probably the restaurant manager. We waited at least 15 minutes before the waitress even came to the table to take our order. She didn’t write anyone’s order down so we figured she’d screw it up. Even then she didn’t take the order of everyone at the table. She came back several times in between running to the cash register and tending to the other patrons.
After the order was taken it took eons for our drinks and food to arrive. Two of my friends ordered cheese fries that never even arrived. When asked about the fries, the waitress said she thought the fries had already come out! Seriously??? Even then she never saw to it that the fries were served. The pizza I ordered took over an hour to come out. When I inquired with the waitress about why it was taking so long she gave me a deer in the head lights look. I don’t believe she’d even submitted the order to the kitchen.
The waitress mixed up everyone’s order and had a terrible time keeping our individual tickets straight. I had to ask four different times for my check and it the waitress must have questioned me about it at least 3 separate times. Finally, a second waitress came over to figure out what was happening and to assist. Even then the check was still wrong. I was charged for two drinks when I only ordered one. Whatever. It was easier just to get the $ 7 overcharge from my friend and avoid another debacle.
The service was SLOOOOOW. The food was terrible too which made the experience worse. The pizza I waited ages for was gross as were the chicken wings I nippled on. The wings and curly fries had no flavor whatsoever. The only thing that was halfway decent was the complimentary popcorn.
The cocktail I had (called the Eager Beaver) was decent but it tasted more like fruit juice than alcohol.
After the check was settled the older waitress came to me and apologized for the dreadful service. She stated she was new and struggled with having to take care of the entire restaurant. She stated that she was an «idiot» but that she wasn’t «that dumb.» She was embarrassed by the situation and simply wished to apologize. I appreciated her effort and thoughtfulness. Honestly, I think if she’d stated up front that it would have made a world of difference. I don’t blame her. I blame the restaurant’s management. Why would you leave a new employee to handle the Friday night after work happy hour rush?
The bathroom was also dreadful. One of the stalls was locked because it appeared to be leaking. The open stall also had a leak from the bottom of the toilet. Little did we know that it also had a leak at the top! When you flushed the toilet water shot out at you!!! My friend got her shoes wet as a result. Luckily, she warned me so I knew to open the stall door before I flushed and be ready to run. I should call the health department on the restaurant because that has to be some violation. Who wants nasty sewer water sprayed all over them while they’re eating? It’s negligent and irresponsible of the restaurants mgmt that a plumber hasn’t been called to fix the leak.
For a dive bar the restaurant was actually cozy. The décor and seating was spacious and comfortable. Judging by the outside I expected alot worse but it really was a nice atmosphere. It’s too bad that the terrible service cancels all the positive things out.
At any rate, SLC was a one and done experience for me. I’ll never step foot in the place again.

A dive bar that delivers on all fronts!
I’m an atheist, but if I believed in purgatory this is what it would look like… and frankly I wouldn’t mind staying.
Great popcorn and service.

Never make an assumption that you can upcharge me on a drink, then proceed to act as if it’s no big deal.
I don’t care if it’s an upcharge of 10 cents or 10 grand.
Didn’t your mother tell you it’s the thought that counts?

Yuck what a terrible place. I don’t enjoy it at all.
I went there ten minutes before they closed and they wouldn’t take my order. Nice.

The South Loop Cub is becoming a thing for me. What can I say? I like their mojo. If your scene is d-​bags and hos beating the beat up, this ain’t your spot. If you want a five-​star meal, find yourself a restaurant. But if you’re looking for a good time at an actual bar, this is your joint.
The SLC has a pretty extensive selection of beers on tap (Green Line, sadly, not among them) and their burgers are actually delicious. I’ve also sampled their pizza and found it to be really tasty. I’ve never tried the free popcorn, but it’s there if you want it.

After over a year of my boyfriend raving about the burgers at this place we finally made it in! He used to come here all the time in college. This place is a total dive with very unique seating, which I loved; right up my alley. It was a Sunday afternoon and there weren’t a lot of people in the bar, but the servers were very friendly, attentive and quick!
We started with the jalepeno poppers — they have cheddar cheese which the bf loves. I’ll take any kind of cheese in mine, but these were delish. I got the wings, with sauce on the side. The sauce, was I believe, just from a bottle — but despite that, it was really good sauce! The bf got his beloved cheese burger, which I tried and it was great! As were the curly fries. It’s so close to me, I’m not sure why it took me so long to get here… but I’m already thinking about when I can come back next!

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. Dishonest, unprofessional and stinks like wet mop– A dump.
They even charge you automatic gratuity. I’ve been serving for over 10 years, I think I know how to tip. I just feel like I should not have been obligated to give an amount she didn’t deserve.
