Had a party gathering at the Prohibition Room this week. Wait staff was so-so. The food, IMO, was so-so. The atmosphere was good, lively. Not sure if I would be a return customer....??

Anyone else given PRoom a try?

I went there last night and I'm not overly impressed with it. I didn't eat, so I can't speak of the food, but the beer choices leave a lot to be desired. They have a good selection of premium liqours, but I like beer, and the choices they have are limited. They offer Old Style on tap, which is served in a mason jar for $2.50. A rip-off in my opinion. And the techno music didn't do anything for me either. I won't be suggesting it on future nights out.

1 full pint of 6.0 beer for 2.50 is a rip off? Most places I have been sell 3.2 bottles for 2.75 and up. I am sorry our list of 30 beers did not have anything for you but our cooler space is limited. We did design our bar around a good liquor selection. Which we accomplished. McNellies has a huge beer selection. We have a huge liquor selection. 70 Scotch labels alone. Which beer were you looking for?

Considering it comes in that goofy jar, and, well, it is Old Style, the beer thats a notch below PBR, and Shlitz. Frankly, it tastes horrible. And I should have mentioned it, but I am only regarding your draught selection. I do like the fact that coors and bud products aren't an option.

Because we didn't offer coors and bud products we chose Old Style since it is a Chicago staple which goes along with the whole Prohibition feel . Heck, if we really went all out on the prohibition thing we would serve our liquor in tea cups. They are way to expensive though. We do have Shlitz in a can too.

Not a big hops consumer myself, so I don't expect any ale to thrill.
I've probably missed the discussion elsewhere, but what is the most common evening attire level for the PR - shorts and t's, dockers/polos, business casual, professional work attire, a mix across the board?

I realize noon and 9 pm are likely different crowds, but I'm far likely to make visits on a weekend night than I am mid-day

Because you don't personally prefer a beer, you give the restaurant a negative review? Also, at that price, if you think that's a rip off, you do NOT get out much. You don't get Prohibition Prices at the Prohibition Room.

A real ripoff is how much the Ford Center and Brick charge for beer, but that's for another thread.

For those interested, there's already a thread going with reviews of the place:

I enjoyed the $2.50 Old Style. That same cup cost me 6.50 at Wrigley earlier this summer.

I merely gave the draught beer selection a negative review.
I didn't try the food, so I wouldn't go as far as saying its a terrible place. I was drinking and had never tried Old Style, and was struck that they served it in a small mason jar. After the 1, I moved on to other beers. So maybe "rip-off" was bad word choice. I just struggled to understand why the cheapest beer was served in a mason jar when all the others come in good glassware, and the portion seemed smaller. 10 or 12 ounces as opposed to the 16 oz traditional pint.

I can't argue that stadium beer or event beer is overpriced, everyone knows that.

I'd sugest they improve the "so-so" waitstaff and "so-so" food mentioned in the first post before everyone criticizes me for my opinion of their line-up of beers. That, to me, is the negative review.

Jst to make sure everybody knows, we do not serve any of our draught beer in anything less than a pint. The mason jar is 16 ounces. I just measured to double check. Also we have about 77 scotches, 23 bourbons, 15 Gins, 33 Vodkas, 19 Tequilas, 10 Rums, 8 Irish Whiskys and 3 Ryes on our bar. We have something for everyone.
