Editorial Review for John Barleycorn – by Maura York
In Short
This two-story Wrigleyville sibling of the Lincoln Park institution successfully replicates the original's yuppie-flavored fun for a slightly less collegiate crowd. Thirteen flat-screens dot the dark-wood main room, packed with handsome 20- and 30-somethings; upstairs, pop and hip-hop keep the dance floor teeming. More than a dozen domestic and import drafts dominate the full bar's orders, and a wide selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and eclectic pastas includes some values; the burger is solid.

Insider Tips
When to GoLines to get in often extend down Clark Street on Friday and Saturday nights and around Cubs games.
Save MoneyOff-peak nights, Tuesday through Thursday, feature food and drink specials.
Know Before You GoThis spot usually stays packed until last call on weekends--like its multitude of popular neighbors--which means major traffic snarls and cab-wrangling come 2am.

A group of friends of mine and myself went there and met in the upper level. On every occasion the bouncer at the door gave incorrect change intentionally in a attempt to pocket the money. Either he was incompetent or hoping that your incompetent. The music that was playing was so bad it was comical. But the 'thong song' , 'scrubs' and 'the scat man' where too much to bear.
