What makes me happy about a bar...mm, usually good drinks at a good price, but I need something more...yes, that's it, good food. Cleo's on Chicago Avenue is a lovely spot for sports, as they have lots of TV's, but it is also just a great place to hang out. The food is what keeps me coming back. It's fairly cheap, and the food is surprisingly good. I really recommend the brunch, with the Bloody Mary bar -- think all kinds of little bottles of things to add to your tomato juice and stoli. Cleo's makes me happy to go out for drinks, and to be able to order food to try to absorb the ample alcohol I will be adding to my system. There are daily specials: wing night, pizza night, burger night, so you can get their cheap food, even cheaper. Cleo's has one of those trivia and game machines in the back and on the bar, which I try to stay away from, as I can get a little too competitive. Other than that, you make your own fun, in other words, no pool table.
