Not so great. I don't think I've ever drank anything outside of Old Style/Schlitz/PBR/High Life there.

But you don't really go to Cal's for good beer ime. You go because it's Cal's.
It's the only bar like it in the Loop, that's for sure.

I do, too! I was thinking about it yesterday because a friend emailed to ask me where was a good place to drink in the Loop.

Although Cardozo's on Washington between Wells and LaSalle is probably a good substitute.

only time i was at cal's was when i set up a FF's show with my friends' band from West Virginia, got Eazy and jaymc to open, and no one came to the show

I'd been there once before, but that show was definitely the last time I was there.

Just GIS'd him and yeah, that makes sense, though he also looks like Matt Damon, IMO.

There are no spoilers, though. I used quotes around "Todd" to be a dumbass and did not intend to convey anything meaningful about the show or the character. Honestly.
