Visited twice over summer weekend

First time was quiet Sunday afternoon. Bartender had some oldie musical on TV. Boring. Went out back, nothing going on & nobody there so I left after 1 beer. Came back Mon afternooon, back patio door close but went out, found some guys on the back section, and had soem fun. Got to finish a well-hung anon guy off some other older guy started on but didn't finish. Also went on his buddy too at the same time (2-for-1!), but only finished off the 1st guy. Yum! Not much conversation, finished by beer, and left. Fun times for a quick afternoon blow-n-go. Barteneder had some guy porn on the TV too. Could have used some music though.

Nightly Dose

Read about it and checked it out on my 1st night in Chicago. Hooked up with some hotties. If you prefer, you can sit back, sip your drink, and watch. No pressure. So good I went back each of five nights I was there. Place is discreet and quiet. I'd go back in a minute.

Slut-tastic!

Ok...this place is great for pigs in slop. The back patio is the place to go get fucked by some anon dude with a big ole fat cock, suck a buddy off, and go grab a beer. I was in HOG heaven and plan to go back on my next visit.

Dark bar with lots of Old Trolls!

Ok, from the street it looked closed. Went in and the beer was cold and service was fast. The Back Patio is little more than a barn with pebble gravel, but there is a lot of action back there. Yeah, once you get some action, you're more likely to stay there, otherwise I wouldn't put it up on the top of my list.

Has a little bit of everything...

Nice convesation patio. If you want more, go farther back. Can pretty much get whatever you want to give/get.
