Husband and I popped in before a show at Second City- he had a Whiskey sour and I had an Aperol Spritz. Mine was good, standard- his was wonderful. Price point is very fair, and service friendly. Place was mostly empty despite it being almost show hour, but employees still seemed a bit harried.

Bartender and drinks are great. Food - go elsewhere as the chef is 13 years old who never tasted food. Very disappointed as we were 16 people with dry over cooked Salmon abd Filet and sauce less mushroom pasta. Avoid at all expense.

Catch a 2nd city show!

This is a very nice place to grab a cocktail before seeing a show at Second City or Zanies. The staff is very accommodating and they drinks are a good value. I have never tried the food so I cannot comment.

It was a good experience, menu was simple and small . Not sure if thats how it is regularly . Food was very tasty ! Definitely a great chill spot and the ambiance is very chic !

This was our Christmas party for work. Good food and great service ?

The veggie burger is incredible!

Very slow service before a show. Limited menu also

Charged me extra for ice.

An extremely limited menu; ZERO meat-free, dairy-free options. Server was unwilling to replace the cheese on the sandwich with any other ingredient. (Do they even make the food onsite, or just heat and plate it?) MUCH better places to eat less than a block away.

The 1959 Kitchen is located in the same building with Second City - it’s upstairs through the entrance that looks like a movie marquis. It was small and cozy. Full bar. The food selections were simple and few, but fine. The food itself was the same. Service was a little spotty, but I got the feeling our server was new. It gets VERY crowded about 45 minutes before a performance, so if you want more than a drink, give yourself some extra time.

Decided to eat here prior to our show friday night. The menu is VERY limited. I ordered the crab cake & received 1 small cake. It was good but I've never seen an order that did not have at least 2. My hubs ordered the sliders (there are 2) with fries, this was decent. The best part of the meal was the drinks, I ordered one of the house cocktails & it was delicious & made just right to my specifications (not too sweet). I probably would not visit again but it was nice to be at the same venue as the show so if you are interested, look at the menu 1st!!
