Had a great time out with friends and the drinks were very nice. Bartender was great
fantastic spot. great bartenders and staff and folks are super friendly
This place is rude as hell. I took a picture of a chair and they want to kick me out. All they had to say was you can't take a picture. I take pics to try to help people and their business this was no way to treat a person who took a picture of a chair
I live nearby and it's become my neighborhood bar out of convenience. Friendly and fun regular staff. An old-school leather bar with some rules/codes to follow on certain nights, and strict re COVID rules; but, generally low key.Except for weekends and some event nights, which can be quite wild!
Not sure why not fully open yet..all tho slighty trashie location
Was there Last? During IML 1999; And a CDA/M.A.F.I.A. Event; March of 2002. Good memories.
Its sad that this is the only offering of a leather bar that Chicago has to offer. Employees with bad attitudes and a less than desirable clientele.
Showed up at 4pm Sunday for beer blast advertised. Bar opens at 2pm but only serves on sidewalk until 6pm. 20 sq ft and 2 tables with 8 seats. Umm ok. Visitors from out of town Ubered all the way out there for that. Very disappointed and very misleading promotion. They advertise sidewalk service but never mention that’s all they are doing, no inside bar service. And yes I understand covid restrictions, we were all fully vaccinated and ready to provide proof.
I have been going to Touche for over twenty years. They make people feel welcome no matter who you are. Say hi to my cousin Franke he bar tends on Tuesdays.
We were visiting friends who lived in the area earlier and decided to go to this bar with these friends. We wanted to check the bar in the back and the guy manning the bar in the back said they were enforcing a theme tonight which is leather or uniform theme. All four of us were disappointed because we wanted to check the place out. We stayed in the front bar and like most group of friends, we ordered drinks, talked and laughed. Our friend had an idea how one of us could get in. Somehow we had leather we could use to gain entry. As I approached the guy, he said he didn't care what I wore and accused our group of making fun of people in the bar and that he was offended. He told me I could not get in. I didn't say anything to him but got really surpirsed and upset about his accusation. First of all, how can he make that judgment when he could only see us from a distance and could not hear what we were saying. Second, my friends and I are all professionals and do not judge or make fun of people like how he was accusing us. I felt he was DISCRIMINATING us because he didn't like how we looked or how we didn't fit in the crowd for him. I asked the guy in the entrance about the other guy in the back manning the bar in the back. It turned out he was the manager named DAVID!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! WE WILL DEFINITELY NOT COME BACK TO A PLACE WITH A MANAGER RUNNING THE PLACE LIKE THIS!!! VERY JUDGMENTAL WITHOUT VALID FACTS!!!
