Boem Restaurant — among the best american in Albany Park. It wears its years well. There's real intention behind the cocktail list. Owner on site, open late.

Cozy, great food, friendly staff, fair prices, big patio in the back for private parties. The climate is perfect and the bar has a good selection. Great for a simple lunch or an office gathering with coworkers. Definitely recommend!

“Last week, I went to a baby shower which was catered by Boem.”
Last week, I went to a baby shower which was catered by Boem. The venue was the perfect size for the event and included an in-restaurant DJ set, speakers, and colored lights. The staff was so friendly and professional, and truly made the baby shower a wonderful experience. The food was also amazing, and although Boem is known for their Mexican food, there were many pasta dishes that were delicious. Highly recommend coming here for margaritas or renting out the space for a party!

Relaxing patio, super friendly staff, and great drinks! The tacos are $2 and margaritas are $5 on Thursdays which was a huge plus. Everything was delicious.

“Very nice Hidden Gem.”
Very nice Hidden Gem. The food was solid and staff were attention and helpful. I had the chipotle bacon burger which was good. But it’s the mango ceviche that had all my attention served with homemade tortilla chips. The kitchen is open late.

“A neighborhood gem that I've overlooked for YEARS.”
A neighborhood gem that I've overlooked for YEARS! (Shame on me.) A fun, clean quiet family ran restaurant with a lounge feel. Staff is so welcoming and attentive! The food is so good I ordered a meal for lunch the next day! All their margarita varieties are a hit. I was one happy lady and can't wait to go back.

“Amazing drinks, food and service.”
Amazing drinks, food and service! Their mango margaritas to die for! So glad we stumbled upon this place. The owner, Junior, was so kind and made sure we were satisfied with everything. He even gave us complimentary shots, on the house. They also had good music and a nice patio. 10/10 would recommend!

“Food was absolutely delicious - i had the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo (Garlic Shrimp) and the whole thing was 10/10.”
Food was absolutely delicious - i had the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo (Garlic Shrimp) and the whole thing was 10/10. Washed it down with a really good classic margarita, which was HUGE and strong in all the right ways. Our server was a gem, she was so nice and attentive and the food was fast to come out. The patio was spacious and calm, and with the sounds of local families and music floating in it felt very neighborhoody - which i love. Overall a great small business to come and support in person if you're able.
