"Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Definitively not a Loyola college dive bar."

"If you commute home on the Red Line, your best chance of getting a seat is standing on the far ends of the platform where you see the signs overhead which say 6, 8, or 6 8, respectively."

"Earplugs are the only defense against crappy buskers. Also, be on guard for pickpockets if you use the tunnel to the Blue Line."

"The habanero salsa is hot enough for almost anyone."

"Both platforms have exits down to George street at the far south end, if you either don't want or need to walk along Belmont. Ignore the pointless "Emergency Exit Only" signs on the doors, just push."

"Don't handle your phone, jewelry, etc. in view of people who don't look like regulars to this property, especially late at night. It's a good way to end up with a broken lock and missing belongings."
