  When my wife walks into a sports bar and immediately says she likes it, That Place is going to get a good review.  She thought that it was spacious, not cramped.  It was clean, not dingy.  It didn't smell like some old dive bar.  She notices those things more than I do.
  
  They also have lunch specials which she took advantage of getting the Taco Bowl.  No shell outside, just frito type crunchies underneath.  The flavor wasn't spectacular, but satisfying.  The portion was plenty for a lunch without her having to get a to go box.  I like paying for what you eat at the restaurant without having to eat leftovers to get your money's worth.
  
  I went with the house special sandwich:  "That Sandwich".  It's made with a German Bologna, grilled onions, pepperjack cheese, and sweet pickles on grilled marbled rye.  If you like Reuben sandwiches, then you will probably like this.  There are lots of similar flavors here that work really well together.  I would definitely recommend it.
  
  The sandwich comes with house made crinkle chips that were large and crisp; maybe just a tad over cooked and they would definitely have benefited from salt being added when they were finished cooking.  
  
  The place supposedly gets busy in the evenings and weekends with live music added.  For lunch, it was relatively quiet with all the televisions on mute.
  
  Service was okay since the bartender had to run the whole front end by herself.  So, she made it over when she could and kept a pleasant disposition despite the lack of help.

  Anytime management takes time you respond to a review, and takes accountability, I think it deserves recognizing. The manager set up a 10% off food orders discount for Yelpers that check-in at their location; and he addressed my issues that I had concerning the staff being aware of the promotional. I respect that and it says a lot about the establishment.
  As I told management, I will be back. I'm impressed and it has a lot to offer that I did not get a chance to partake in.
  Kudos to That Place for offering Yelpers a discount to try them out.
  
  When you click "check-in" the promo will pop up on your screen and all you have to do is show it to your wait staff or bartender.

  That Place has a great craft beer list, one of the best on the south-side...which I didn't realize until very recently. Plus, on Tuesdays, $3 craft brew pints...that's unbeatable!  We visited on a night right before weekly trivia began and were surprised to see a lot of craft beer offerings we hadn't seen before.  There were local/state-wide favorites like Taxman, 3 Floyds, and Bare Hands, as well as more established, solid national breweries like Founders, New Holland, and Heretic.
  
  Food-wise, That Place has more standard pub/bar fare with lots of fried things, burgers, and pizza, although some of the offerings are a tad more adventurous. The different wing sauce flavors are more outside the box then typical choices (i.e. Korean BBQ and Jamaican jerk). You can get on the bologna resurgence bandwagon and try the grilled "That Sandwich", with rye bread, spicy bologna, onions, hot pepper cheese, and sweet pickles.  Service was okay and there was a fairly diverse clientele, with the weekly trivia looking to be popular. We'd been missing out on That Place all this time, due to stereotyping it as just another local spot slinging Bud/Miller (apologies, if Bud/Miller is your thing)...don't make the same mistake!

  I've been to That Place a few times.  The first time, was great, as we went to see their live band on a Friday night.  The place was busy, but we were still able to find seats at the bar.  The bar staff was quick to get us drinks, and always very polite.  
  
  The drinks themselves are very reasonably priced, and they are pretty charged up.
  
  When, we returned a couple days ago, there was a different band playing, and the staff was still great.  
  
  The only reason that I am giving That Place 4 stars is because when I ordered food I asked for an order of 20 wings which costs $12.99.  I was asked what flavors I wanted, and I asked for 2 flavors.  When we closed out our tab at the end of the night I was charged for 2 orders of 10 wings.  When I asked about it, I was told that since I ordered 2 flavors I was charged for two orders.  If I would have been told that at the beginning I would have just ordered one flavor.  
  
  Other than that, it's a place I will keep going back to.  The live bands on the weekends are great, and the atmosphere is pretty chill and relaxed.

  We stopped by here for a quick drink and to blow sometime. There isn't anything special about this bar, it's just another hole in the wall.
