Now open in the Old Chicago space! A completely revamped and locally owned bar that features something special for everyone.

The 508 is one of the biggest spaces in downtown, with 2 levels to mingle in. Guests are greeted with a welcoming urban decor, large booths, spacious ceilings, and high top tables that encourage socializing. The 508 specializes in its bar food. Heaping plates of gourmet sandwiches, pizzas, and salads are the norm here. Fresh cut fries, homemade breads, everything is fresh at the 508. They also have one of the best beer lists in downtown, featuring over 25 import and specialty taps.

One of the first things the new owners did was higher a great bar staff. These seasoned bartenders have created a fun and interesting list of cocktails and martinis that should have no problem pleasing even the most picky of customers.

Want great lunch? The 508 serves up great lunch specials and specialty sandwiches every day of the week!

Want a killer happy hour? Come snag a giant booth and mingle after work.

Dancing? On the weekends DJ's play fun dance mixes of rock and Top 40.

A little something for everyone at the 508.

all about "gettin chicks" huh steve? place is nice, downstairs is like a club though.. but upstairs is nice. never overly packed, nice and relaxed. getting drinks doesn't take long either... even when it is busy.

Excellent food and huge tap list. One of the only places that serves Finnegans, buy that and they'll give their profit back to Minneapolis!

My friend fell on the dance floorI felt really bad for him. Other than that, this place is great!

I just fell in love with their $5 martinis during their Happy Hour! The servers are awesome.

Maybe just have past biases for OC, but found it to be very unoriginal. Definitely disappointed, esp b/c I absolutely love Loop. If I wanted to drink beer in a basement, I'd go to a frat party--at least there it's free...
