“I popped in to watch the NBA finals game. Eddie and Lindsey made me feel right at home. Good wine selection and specials. I’m an ILLNI alum so this will be my new regular spot.”
“Best food, service and atmosphere in Chicago! Rory was amazing. The owner was extreme nice!”
“Had the patty melt, some beers, and a cranberry vodka. Flavors were great, and drinks were cold and strong”
“On Sunday December 14th - the coolest Bear game I’ve ever been to started out on a good note - until it didn’t. My husband and I showed up at Weather Mark to meet our niece and boyfriend for a little pregaming before heading to Soldier field for the noon game. I didn’t realize until we were leaving the car with the valet that I forgot my coat (in the SW suburbs). I asked the sweet lady at the hostess stand if there was any place I could walk to to buy a winter coat since I forgot mine at home. The closest place was a Target 7 blocks away - walking wasn’t going to work. Next idea was to get my car back from the valet and drive to Target. Before I could get the valet ticket from My husband the owner came out from the back of the restaurant and handed me his winter coat and said “please bring it back when you’re done and please take care of your server”. After tipping our amazing waitress a 100% tip on the bill we walked to the game - which we won, walked back to Weather Mark - returned the coat with a hug, and tipped the valet 100% for his service. Weather Mark Tavern now has 4 customers for life!!”
“Long standing South Loop bar with friendly staff and plenty of room to watch sports. Food is great. Big fan of the cheese curds.”
“Ksenia was wonderful, my espresso martini delicious & the Greek salad was fresh and perfectly dressed!”
“Had some issues with being waited on in a timely manner and the waitress not getting our full food order in. They seem to be a pretty busy place, only go if you have time. I’d also recommend making reservations if it’s the weekend. Food was decent. Usual bar food. Drinks were good too.”
“Friendly neighborhood joint, helpful barkeep knew how to pull a pint”
“Weather Mark Tavern has a great bar vibe—relaxed, comfortable, and not overly loud, which made it easy to enjoy a conversation. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. The food was good and reasonably priced for what you get. We tried the **Cheese Curds**, **Fish Tacos**, and **Southern Hot Brown Sliders**. The cheese curds were crispy on the outside and perfectly gooey inside. The fish tacos were fresh and well-seasoned, with a nice balance of flavor and texture. The Southern Hot Brown sliders were a pleasant surprise—savory, rich, and something a little different from the usual bar menu. Overall, it’s a solid spot for casual drinks and good food. I’d definitely come back.”
