Review of Green Chicago Restaurant Co-op

I don't get the popularity of this place. Yeah it'...

I don't get the popularity of this place. Yeah it's old and iconic. Yes Al Capone use to go here. So What? It's a Jazz joint with a lot of bad seating, a lot of it with no view of the musicians playing there. Also you get shushed by the patrons and staff if you say more than one word to the people you are with. Yeah I get it, you shouldn't be having a loud conversation while the band is playing, but give me a break. You take yourself WAY too seriously. Plus your drinks are overpriced and poorly made. I know this place was around during prohibition, but do your drinks actually have to taste like they were made in a bathtub for authenticity? It is just a typical Chicago place for posers who pretend to appreciate Jazz.
