machelle's back street

This WAS a great local little bar with friendly bartenders and some really solid drink selections, impressive beer selection and some quality local entertainment. Something happened - a few of us who used to be regulars are still baffled as to what that was - the regular bartenders left and the drink prices went sky-high. The place is great but the unbearably high prices for the same drinks that are being mixed and poured at other corner bars in La Salle and Peru for 1/4 of the price make the "new" Machelle's a fail. Sad to see it happen, this was a great, friendly little bar.
