Citysearch Editorial Review. Steps from the Ogilvie Transportation Center, this snug West Loop bar and grill aims to be the default happy hour stop between work and home for frazzled commuters looking for a relaxed pint and a hand-formed burger on a pretzel bun--amped up with a slice of foie gras upon request. A smattering of flatscreens allows the coworkers who descend from Loop offices to keep tabs on stocks and scores while they nosh on share-friendly apps like mini crab cakes with cumin mayo and quesadillas with cilantro pesto and marinated peppers. Named for the building's one-time use as the power supplier to the northwest commuter line from Chicago to Milwaukee, the decor nods to the past via vintage photos on the walls.
