by Frankie L. on Jillian's is a must during football season! .. Me? A loyal Niner! My brother? A loyal Bears fan .... We get to watch all the games here and the food is not that bad. The spinach dip is our favorite! The people are nice there, the place is very clean, very classy with great fans from around the country. The service is a bit slow but the servers are also trying to make a bunch of rowdy happy or not football fans satisfy. Thumbs up! i love this place ...
by Lyndsey Arrendell on Ok, as always, take my review of any club with a grain of salt. I don't like the loudness, the crowdedness, the dancingness, or most other -nesses. But sometimes people drag me to these places anyway. Also, as I am a social recluse, I don't know too much about all the different styles and hip new looks of the young people today. So, if I inadvertently insult your social subgroup through my ignorance, I apologize. I do not apologize, however, if I deliberately insult your subgroup, you dirty, dirty hipsters. Silk City. Sounds like a strip club and/or brothel. But it's not. As far as I know. Both times I was there, it was late. Once it was to 'dance' and once to eat. The first time, I went with people who wanted to dance. They told me they wouldn't the whole time, that we could hang out by the bar, etc. They lied. I wound up standing on the dance floor, NOT dancing. Special message to the girls who came up to me, told me that by not dancing I was making people want to dance with me, and attempting to engage me. I did not blow you off because I thought you were annoying or unattractive, or even because I am just deliberately rude. It is because I am a social retard. When someone comes at you with DANCE one must DANCE, and... yeah. So, sorry about that. I could have just tried to talk to them, but it is ridiculously loud!! I'm sure if you go to clubs, you know this, but for me, it's just absurd. However, if I did like going to places like this, this is the kind of place I'd like going to. The crowd is fairly eclectic. Normal people, like me and my friends (or whatever), punky-goth girls in short skirts, random guys in jeans and hoodies, even one dude who totally looked like a pirate. The walls had blacklights and blacklight responsive posters on them, and there were tables to the back by the bar if you have friends who are willing to sit there with you. It was Saturday night, so DJ DeeJay was there, and apparently people like him. I don't like dance music made after 1992, so I liked it when he went a little retro. Ok, so the second time, I was STARVING and we went to the food area of Silk City. Looks like a diner, but is a bar, which is awesome. I mean, diners and bars are pretty similar, and you can't really have a diner that looks like a bar, but a bar that looks like a diner is a great idea. I got a French dip style roast beef sandwich, which was really really good. The meat to bread ratio was quite high, but I'm never going to complain about too much meat. Or something that sounds less homo-erotic. The diner section was still very loud - I figured the music would be lower than in the club section, and it was, but not by much. Probably not like that during dinner time. And, of course, it was filled with the same eclectic people - regular folks, punk girls, and stupid hipster emo guys with their longish hair and dark glasses and unkempt beards and tight clothes and girlfriends who are clearly way too attractive to be with them. So, there you have it. Bar that looks like a diner with really good food. Loud club with interesting people. And damned dirty hipsters. Have fun.
