    Always a super fun place for karaoke on Wednesday nights. Some of the best southern food in the city. The brunch on weekends is incredible too.

    We used to go to the location near the Apollo Theater, back in the 1990s. So, we've been meaning to try to location in River North. The food is outstanding. We ordered the chips with guacamole and pimento cheese. I'm not a fan of guacamole, but this was really tasty and creamy. The butterscotch pudding is small, but it's the perfect size after a BBQ meal and very, very good.

    This really cool place was packed the night we stopped by for a drink. We requested outdoor seating and were seated immediately. They had live music vibrant feel and great service. We did not eat but drinks were cold and good.

    As a Texan, there's always a special place for BBQ in my heart and Bub City was no exception entering my arteries with the best of them. The cornbread is some of the best I've had; watch out for the hint of spice it possesses. The tenders are thick and juicy and the brisket is cooked to perfection. I added pulled pork to my Mac n Cheese, but in my opinion it's better without the added sweet BBQ sauce. There is outside seating, not the comfiest but it's very dog friendly. As you can see our pup ate at the table. Inside looked like a hoot as well with Karaoke Wednesday evenings. Our server was kind, but there was noticeably less consideration for the outside guest. I would come back because the American flag on the grilled cheese makes me feel extra patriotic, the brisket inside the sandwich makes me wiggle my toes, and the entire place makes me want to karaoke some Luke Bryan.
