The Scene – The two-room Matilda glows behind storefront windows--all candlelight, blond wood, chrome accents, celestial colors and artful wall hangings--on a quiet pre-Belmont bustle corner.

Best Bar in Lakeview
by bethylou10 at Citysearch
One of my favorite bars in Chicago, even with the treacherous stairs leading to the bathroom! The eclectic atmosphere, fun jukebox, and mind numbing martinis add up to countless nights of fun.
- Pros: Great drinks, great staff, great jukeboc
- Cons: Really steep stairs

I can't believe what I saw. First, I thought my buddy had ditched me, however, I noticed my friend being dragged outside. Little to be known, my friend is a martial artiest and could have made an embarassing scene, however, he choose to be led out. Why the doorman did this, no one knows, he didn't even't want to let us know he "kicked" our buddy out. I have always had a good time at Matilda's previously, but I doubt I will ever be back.
