I can't say enough great things about the Gothic.  Renovated only a few years ago, I used to drive by it every day when it was still in shambles.  They did such a tremendous job fixing this place up - it's gorgeous outside and inside.  The sound is fantastic, especially upstairs.  The drinks are poured generously and the waitstaff is super friendly.  There's always a good act in this place - be sure to catch Maraca 5-0 when they're there.  Do yourself a favor and see a show here - you won't be let down.
Pros:  Gorgeous interior, Great drinks, Great sound
Cons:  Located in Englewood
