Editorial Review for Gin Mill – by Jennifer Olvera

The Scene
Loaded with 27 TVs, including three big screens, the Gin Mill is a stop for sports nuts, especially Michigan State fans--featuring MSU memorabilia throughout. It's also popular for other kinds of casual players: Cap-clad jocks chat up twin-set girls.

The Draw
Sports and lots of it--whether it's MSU or the Red Wings, it'll be broadcast here. Games like Golden Tee please the comfy-in-khakis crowd. A cover band performs crowd favorites Tuesdays; other times, DJs spin Springsteen-style radio hits, or bartenders throw in their own choices. Twenty taps and at least as many bottles range from Bell's Amber to Boddingtons, though popular libations are fairly standard: vodka tonic, Jager shots, Jack and Coke. The food menu includes typical fodder such as burgers, nachos and double dough-style pizza.

Just come to relax. Music is good mix of everything. I can wear sandals in there, but then, I can do anything I want. Usually good mix, and good eye candy. Crowd size is usually comfortably crowded-to-only bar in chicago crowded, depending on night. Usually a good time, depending on your attitude.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Any day of the week you could hed to the Gin Mill for good drinks, cool people and a great time. It's my favorite of Lincoln Park because of the cheap drinks and great atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
