The food (brunch, lunch, dinner and everything in between) is great, and the beer/drink selection is really exceptional. Above and beyond all of that, the owners are fantastic people and they go the extra mile to make sure their customers have a good time, so it is tough to ask for more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-60618334628134690852010-11-20T21:42:15.479-06:002010-11-20T21:42:15.479-06:00Anon, I'll take your "argument" agai...Anon, I'll take your "argument" against Villains into account the next time I consider going there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-30643152410026429092010-11-20T18:17:59.320-06:002010-11-20T18:17:59.320-06:00Villians is not only "unknown" but also ...Villians is not only "unknown" but also completely "forgettable".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-50190279577925440662010-11-17T17:47:35.509-06:002010-11-17T17:47:35.509-06:00I was a huge fir fan of villians when they first o...I was a huge fir fan of villians when they first opened but the place has gone horribly wrong since. The service is terrible and the bartenders actually ignore the drink special price and charge what they want. I swear to you. You can go there and be charged different prices depending who is bar tending and the specials also change. Real amateur and real pompous vibe. The beer selection is amazing but it is priced like you are in river north. You can go to Hackneys and have the same selection for a fraction of the price and they would actually care about your business. Villians is nothing more the arrogant self entitled owners. If you dont take my word for it check out Yelp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-23591437719991835662010-11-17T16:42:15.306-06:002010-11-17T16:42:15.306-06:00I haven't been to Villians yet but Little Bran...I haven't been to Villians yet but Little Branch is a decent place. It seems to be suffering from a bit of an identity crisis. I appreciate the fact that there is a nice little bar without TVs and with a good beer / mixed drink selection. I really wish there would be healthier options on the menu though - more items that skip the oil, butter and cheese. Let's get some creative healthy dishes in here and make it really unique!Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-47450868460562706362010-11-17T14:31:10.284-06:002010-11-17T14:31:10.284-06:00I'm not seing where you're griing teh love...I'm not seing where you're griing teh love for Villan's from.

And the strollers that took over the space. Also, the location is weird.

The whole point is it's unknown as a bar - duh! And according to the TimeOut critic, it serves great drinks (and I agree). I'm trying to understand how anybody can have a problem with its (imho well-deserved) inclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-6769362683910192652010-11-17T09:34:00.744-06:002010-11-17T09:34:00.744-06:00Villains is extremely underrated.

Not much of anything is worth receiving slow service.<br /><br />Regarding Little Branch, which I have visited, I wouldn't have expected it to show up on bar list either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
