Knicks Knicks Knicks Baby. As a DIE HARD NY Knicks Fan, I was very happy to find out that there was a NY Knicks Bar I could attend in the Chicago Area. I went here early this year as I watched the NY Knicks vs Bulls game. I was hoping to snag last minute tickets to the game but it was Derrick Rose night and tickets were crazy expensive. It was an awesome place to catch a Knicks Game, I'll definitely be back to watch some Knicks Playoff Games! My wife and I both had a burger here which was pretty good. Just awesome to be around fellow Knick Fans as well!
The #1 place to be to see Knicks and Rangers games. Friendly staff, great customers, and a welcoming environment.
Enjoy coming here to watch rangers hockey games. Last came around brunch for the outdoor game against the islanders. Always enjoy my drinks. Food can take a bit but it's high quality bar food. Cheese curds, nachos, and wings all delicious. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Ended up here randomly and am so glad I did!! Amazing local bar vibe, the bacon grease popcorn is AMAZING and Claire is as good a bartender as you could ever want!! Fate found me here and I will def be back!
A NY bar actually, as there's Knicks and Rangers apparel all over, but you can watch most any sports event here. I came in for the AFC Championship last Sunday, and it was a good spot. There's a quieter front bar, with TVs and some tables, and then a bigger more open party space in back, with more tables and a 2nd bar and even more TVs. You could sit in either depending on how big your group is. Most the bigger groups were in back, I just sat at the bar in front. They have a few food items. I got the cheese curds, a staple, and you got a good amount of them, plus came with parmesan cheese on top, which you don't always see. Pretty decent craft beer list, both on tap and in cans/bottles, plus the usual domestics. Bartender was nice, good service. A nice neighborhood feel. I'd gladly come back for another game, or just to hang out.
I stumbled into Racine plumbing on a Sunday early afternoon and it was not very busy. No idea why. I had the wings and they were incredible!!! My bartenders/servers Claire and Georgie were the nicest servers I have had in a long time. They made me feel like I have known them for a long time. You can tell they really love their jobs. The theme of the bar is New York sports being a New Yorker I felt right at home. Do not let that deter you from wondering into this place. I will be back!! *edit* I forgot to mention the beer selection was awesome!
Stopped in on a Friday evening for a meal and a drink and we were blown away. Ambiance wise it's a standard sports bar, but their cocktails and food elevate it. The service was fast since the place was surprisingly pretty empty. We got a hot toddy and a draft beer to start with some cheese curds. The drinks and curds were delicious! For entrees we got a chicken sammy and a burger. Both sandwiches were amazing. The fries and onion rings were also hot and crispy. We couldn't have left happier! Will definitely be back again.
The girl who served us was seriously the sweetest waitress I've ever had. So kind and so friendly. Outside of the service this was a pretty standard local bar. The beers were fine and the food was fine. Little bit over priced for the vibe but overall a good time.
