We didn't eat at the Exchequer ("ex-checker"), but stopped by the bar most nights before heading back to the Palmer Hotel. The drinks are relatively inexpensive compared to other places in the Loop, the service is friendly, and the vibe feels homey and local. Loved the place! more

Dropped in here on Saturday evening hearing from the hostel I was staying at that the pizza was some of the best Chicago Style Deep Dish pizza around. Thinking how a pub could have better pizza than the places in Chicago known for thier deep dish pizza was somewhat of a challenge for me to find out. Well...it was GREAT!!!!... more

If you are looking for traditional pub/diner with good beer and great food in Chicago, this is it. Bar area (very "Cheers" during the day), 2 dining areas both with a mixture of tables and cozy booths. Place is pretty busy and buzzy particularly summer evenings at the weekend ,when you may have to wait in the bar for a... more

Loved going here for some great pizza, wings are incredible, and the beer selection was nice. Lots of sports on. Just a good place to hang out at if looking for a no frills bar with good food. Highly recommended to anyone at Palmer house since it is 1 block south on Wabash. more

Must try!

This is a local place a block away from the Mag Mile. What a find... by far the best deep dish we ever got in Chicago. Everything is made to order, so expect a 20-30 minute wait for your pizza's... Well worth it though once you start eating them. Very little tourists in the place, so you got a true... more

Six of us visited on a Wed nite. Very lively bar scene, restaurant busy but not jammed. Try their house beer, it is great. Extensive menu, something for all. I had meaty, fall off the bone ribs, awesome sauce, best around, partners had steaks and raved about them. Beats Carson's by a mile. Palmer House Hotel visitors get a few... more
