We threw a fundraiser party here for Rebuilding Together, a non-profit group which provides free home repairs to poor neighborhoods. It was never explained to us that we needed to reach 20 people minimum to have our portion of the cover come back to our group (we had 18 show up). One of the managers, Mike Emmick, asked if we ever got anything in writing (which we didn't) and then pocketed the money that was supposed to go back to Rebuilding Together. It was a small amount of money that would have gone directly to help a poor woman in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. I have no idea how Mike sleeps at night or how I could ever tell anyone to EVER go to this bar. What a complete bunch of pompous low-lifes.
