“ Didn’t get food, but Cliona was THE BEST!!!! My entire experience with Chicago bartenders up to this point was Malort Mongrels and finally I got some phenomenal service. Say her name right and pay her more, Barstool River North is Cliona and nothing else. Also there’s a packers bar down the street and they’re big time bad people so stick to our sweet lass Cliona. ”
