I had fun with my friends and service was A-OK. Not sure about all the bad comments. Maybe they have new staff and/or new management. more

I hate to say this, but Moonshine just seems like such a waste of space in that cool Division/Damen area. We need something a little bit cooler, because there's really nothing special on their menu. more

Avoid this place if you want good bar or a decent wine list. Not a good experience - it smelled like old/rotten beer and my glass and fork were dirty. It was a disgusting e xperience. The staff is untrained and lazy. When I complained the manager, John, was a total jerk! more

I had an absolutely awsome experience at Moonshine. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, and the service was given with a smile.

I would recommend... more
