I went to The Loop for my 27th birthday and we had a great time. I loved the atmosphere. It had the feel of a more upscale bar, yet they were replaying the playoffs on the tvs. The mix of people was great. Age range was 20's and 30's and a fairly good looking crowd. The bartenders have a tendency to spill some of the drinks, but they are very cute. For a bar that was as crowded as it was, the service was pretty fast. Make friends with one of the bartenders, and I'm sure that will help you out-I personally liked the one with the shaggy hair. All in all, I really liked this place. I have been looking for a place with a post college aged crowd for awhile now, and I think I have found it.
Pros: great mixture of people
Cons: the set-up is a little odd
