Apparently you don't like the place. Never had anything but good experiences there.

Actually, I've also only had good experiences there.

It's very popular with anglophone expats and has become the local for a number of them making it something of a true 'pub'.

I guess I'm less than thrilled by the somewhat sterile decor and the 24/7 football.

Thnak you for all of your suggestions.
The Bachelorette Party was this past weekend so I thought I would give you an update.
We stayed at the Sheraton Towers for the weekend and had really nice experiences eating at Lou Mithchells for breakfast on Sat. and that evening we ate at Maggiano's.
For entertainment we went to Bar Chicago and it was Bachelorette Central. It worked out really well, my sister didn't have to pay for any drinks (she shouldn't have to) as long as you were willing to get up on the bar they would give you shots and had a drinking contest which the winner won a $25 bar credit. She didn't win but the drinks were so cheap it didn't really matter.
All in all it was a great weekend1
