I frequent the Loop. I have taken clients there as well as friends and family. I have had very mixed results. I have found the bartender MIke to be rude and only helpful to those he knew. Other times I have been in the Loop and have been taken good care of by the other staff and everything has been wonderful. I feel that when I go in - specifically on Mondays - I wait for service and feel like I am only an annoyance to the bartender. I would not suggest going to the Loop on Mondays because this is when I have gotten the worst service, other nights though I have been taken care of. So, I would give the Loop 5 stars but I could not because I would never give an establishment that high of a rating when one of their staff members waits 10 minutes to greet me each time I am there even though he has nothing else to do. Good food, great service- except for times mentioned above.
Pros: food, ambience, most of the staff
Cons: parking, some of the staff
