“Perritos estilo Chicago, en frente al edificio donde se hacen las proyecciones de noche, se pide en barra pero hay que ir a la siguiente barra unos 40metros a por la comida, precio normal para el lugar donde esta.”

“Self service bar with large variety of different drinks and food. The bar is directly next to the riverwalk and river itself. At our visit, there was also live music we really enjoyed.”

“** update 5.16.25 ** 1st customer on their 1st day open this season! arguably the best smash burger on the riverwalk. 🍔 ********* can't beat a true Chicago dog on the riverwalk with a free Merchandise Mart light show!”
