“Perfect place to go before a show at the ballroom around the corner.”

Perfect place to go before a show at the ballroom around the corner. Come early it gets packed to the hilt. Food is unexpectedly fancy and fast. Appetizer was rueben balls. A bit more meat to make them perfect. Po' boy with shrimp was good, and the pulled pork was excellent. The music was getting us ready for the concert, and the service was tops.

“Stop here before a concert at the Aragon Ballroom.”

Stop here before a concert at the Aragon Ballroom. Place was very busy on concert nights but we were able to get a spot at a community table. Service was amazing quick. Food was great and so were the drinks.

What a GEM!!! I was in town for a comedy show and happened upon this place, and I'm SO GLAD I did!! The food was incredible (I had the Hot Mess burger -- like a way better version of a Big Max). They have a wide variety of THC and N/A beers that I want to try next time. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming. Allie was so warm & inviting!! She is such a friendly, attentive bartender, and deserves a HEFTY raise!! Next time you find yourself in Chicago, DEFINITELY go out of your way to give this place a visit, you will NOT regret it!

“I had a wonderful time at this location.”

I had a wonderful time at this location. The staff were very superb with great customer service. The food was very delicious I had a vegan bean with salad. They have a homemade citrus vinaigrette that I tried for the first time and I absolutely love. Along with a mocktail that was very delicious. I also love the vintage decor of this restaurant. Please if you live in the neighborhood or ever though about checking this restaurant out please do you will be very please

“Server was amazing.”

Server was amazing! Personable, friendly and recommended good choices. Espresso frappe is practically like an espresso martini and the best one I’ve had! Little bit of cream to lighten the acidity… delicious!!! Pot pie was GINORMOUS and VERY good!!!

One of my absolute favorite spots to hang out with friends for a night of drinks and dinner is this vibrant restaurant that just brims with energy! The atmosphere is electric, making it the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening. Their burgers are a true explosion of flavor—sizzling and cooked to perfection every time! And don’t even get me started on the wings; they boast a mouthwatering array of sauces that cater to all taste buds, guaranteed to please everyone at the table. And don't forget dessert—the upside-down pineapple with ice cream is a must-try and the ultimate sweet ending to your meal. Simply incredible! The place buzzes with excitement, packed with guests soaking up the lively vibe, reveling in fantastic music, and cheering for their teams on the big screens. It's a joy to see so many people enjoying themselves! There’s even a pool table that amps up the fun, offering a great way to mix things up during the night. Just a little tip: parking can be tricky, so be on the lookout for street spots and don’t forget to pay the meter—believe me, they do check! All in all, it’s an amazing spot to kick back and create unforgettable memories with friends!

Just happened to stumble upon this gem and glad we did. Do you see the size of this pot pie?! So good — no survivors. Also, lovely service by Walter. Never had such an attentive waiter. Highly recommend this spot!

Wow! What a meal. The CEO Burger game me a run for my money, but I finished it. Fries were the crispy salty suckers just the way I like 'em. Plenty of beers to try and the Spa is Gin and Tonic Goblet was more like a fish bowl. Broccoli with pesto and and a little parmesan cheese was a great side. Hope to go back before we leave town (like Martini Thursday?).

“Super cute bar and the service was fantastic.”

Super cute bar and the service was fantastic! But the food is the real reason to come here- we got the poutine (you MUST add the braised pork) to share- phenomenal (and excellent hangover pick me up) I got the Uptown Royale drink- if you love very sweet drinks and pineapple you'll love this. My husband got the morning fog- the flavor reminded me of chocolate milk with whip cream and a splash of coffee- all that said, a balanced flavor and not too sweet. We both got the braised pork belly sandwhich- a pulled pork style sandwhich that was to die for (ask for an extra side of the sauce that comes on the sandwhich to dip your fries in!). 10/10 wouldn't change a thing.
