Medium Risk

Charlie's Ale House has a thin inspection record, with only one visit on file so far. On Sep 13, 2010, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 13, 2010, so take the current picture with that in mind.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81.
