My friends and I walked up at 1:30am on a sat without a single person in line or in the bar. The doorman wouldn't let any of us in unless we paid a measly $5.00. The pathetic attempt at a cover charge would have been more tolerable if they made it $10 or $15 dollars since Spoon is no where near a bar that actually has a following or any clout in Chicago nightlife. After being happily admitted into clubs like Reserve and Rino on the same night for no charge at all, our "neighborhood" bar obviously had a case of a big ego that was completely undeserved. I'll never go back and neither should you.
Pros: None
Cons: Pretensious, Rude, Empty
