Worst Bar in Chicago

by lordonez

I've been to many many bars including Coyote Ugly and Hogs and Heifers in NY. This place did not hold up to any standard much less those bars. I'll explain. We arrived at door, only to be greeted by a rude bouncer who asked for our IDs (which i normally always welcome). He begin to throw his weight around with us, explaining (in not so kind terms) that he was not in the mood for our comments when we only wanted to clarify if he wanted our IDs. We proceeded through the door only to stopped so that we could pay a $10 cover for the privilege of stepping into the bar. It was a sloppily dressed crowd with sloppier service staff. The attempt to entertain the crowd by dancing on the bar was cheesy and unoriginal. I couldn't force myself to spend a dime with them and had to leave.

• Pros: Good location
• Cons: Staff

Disappointed

by KAK712

I was looking forward to a great night out with my future sister-in-law and all of our friends to celebrate her bachelorette party. We had a great time but with no thanks to this establishment. We got a package that was $30 per person for unlimited well drinks and can/draft beer from 9-12. When we got in the bar a little after 9, the beer was not even behind the bar! The keg was brought up around 9:25 but we were then told that it was not cold yet so we might want to wait until the keg chills. The beer was not at a drinkable temperature until after 10. When we pay for unlimited drinks from 9-12, the beer needs to be ready, cold, and accessible at 9. Not only was it not there, but the only choice of the beer that came with our package was bud light. That needs to be specified when a party is booked. It's ridiculous that a bar only has one type of beer. The bartender was incredibly rude on the microphone to everyone and also to your face when ordering drinks.

I do have to say that the shot girls that walked around with shots were incredibly nice and very attentive to everyone.

The bathrooms were incredibly dirty and by the end of the night the sink was turned upside down and had fallen off of the wall and there was no toilet paper.

I would not recommend Hogs and Honeys at all, I had a great time but because of my company not because of this establishment!!

• Pros: Very nice shot girls
• Cons: Horrible service, rude bartenders, unprepared

HOG & HONEYS RUINED OUR BACHERLORETTE PARTY!

by tiff721

WORST NIGHT EVER! DON?T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

I have been to several of the clubs in the area and always had a great time - Crowbar and Circus. And I work in Streeterville and frequent the bars there as well like Timothy O'Tooles and its always great!

But this was the worst experience I have ever had!

The bathrooms were disgusting and dirty and out of order at 9pm when the doors opened!

The drinks were watered down and the staff was incredibly rude to our whole party! I got to ride the mechanical-bull before it broke and the guy snapped at me telling me not to touch him when I was trying to get on. Then the mechanical-bull broke when the bride-to-be was on it and wasn?t fixed while we were there! They promised a photo and t-shirt for the bride and they didn?t make good on that either! But after the horrible time we had ? we decided to leave with almost 2 more hours left on our party package! I would rate this place a negative 5??

• Pros: The water down drinks and the dirty non-working bathrooms
• Cons: The Rude Staff - Too many women - I dont think there were 10 men in the place!
