What crowd?

I guess the Chicago enthusiasm for cowboys has worn off because neither of the other reviews talking about mobs of people applies anymore. Oh well, things change.

Small place with a broken toilet!

Was here for about an hour, and while the beer was cold and the people were friendly, there wasn't much space on/off the dance floor and the bathroom was DISGUSTING. It may have just happened, but eww!
