42 Best Bar & Grill in Chicago

“I came in from out of state and I loved this place. My favorite bar in the neighborhood that I got to visit. Went back a couple times throughout my visit. They even changed one tv for me to watch my OKC Thunder game. Thank you for making me feel welcome.“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“Best buffalo garlic chicken wings I’ve ever had hands down! Great atmosphere and great service!“

“We went to the new location on Belmont this last weekend & are so thrilled with our experience. From the service to the drinks and the food, everything was delicious. I ordered the steak sandwich & thought it was fantastic (I like mine cheesy & saucy). My husband ordered the "Da Bears" burger & ate the whole thing. We started with the cheese curds that the table cleared within minutes. Our server was wonderful as well, she was attentive & we never had an empty glass. If you like trying all kinds of martini's, we really enjoyed the "pickletini". Cannot wait to go again & enjoy their patio & try a bloody mary :)“

“Omg!! I can't say enough nice things!! I was working the Southport Art Fest this weekend as a Brand Ambassador and it's always hard to find great food, at a reasonable price, that's ready fast enough. They hit it outta the park!!! The burgers are fire and as big as your head!! The staff is super friendly and took great care of all of us!! Thank you guys SO much for your hospitality, fast service and awesome food!!!!“

“Friendly staff, great place to be and the chips and salsa are so good!!!!“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“I just hosted my wedding at Chief O’Neill’s on Saturday and it could not have been more perfect. Siobhan and her team took amazing care of us! The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, and every one of our guests was gushing about how impressed they were by everything! The back beer garden is so magical, you would have thought we spent tens of thousands of dollars to dress it up, but we didn’t need to. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue to host a wedding, party, shower, or intimate event, you should definitely give them a visit!“

“I've been to my fair share of concert venues, but none have left me as impressed as here. It’s an unassuming spot is a treasure trove of live music goodness.“

“Everything was great. Enjoyed my Brunch“

“Ordered to go and picked up within an hour. Absolutely THE BEST bourak I've ever had. We had the cheese, and cheese with spinach.
The people who own the place are friendly and kind. The chef was so sweet.
I'll need to go back and try other things on the menu“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“This is a nice addition to the neighborhood!

Really like how gf friendly the menu is, that was a great surprise.

The cocktails here are great! Their happy hour is also an excellent deal. Service has generally always been friendly and attentive even when it's very busy. There's additional seating back behind the bar that's really nice for groups.“

“Cool little place in the middle of a nieghborhood . Great food. My husband and I love to go there.“

“This is an excellent place to eat. The food is outstanding and not at all what you would expect as bar food. The beer is could and there are lots of choices, even really great gluten free beer! The service could not be better. I can't wait to go back.“

“Raphael is the absolute best. He made our night & we couldn’t have had a better experience he deserves the biggest raise in the world. 10/10, 11/10 the maximum amount out of ten possible in the world.“

“Walked into this place with low expectations. My buddy told me this place had the best wings he has ever had (wings are my favorite food). These are in my top 3. Place is incredible and this owner is sleeping on a gold mine. A little more marketing and social media presence will have this place packed to the gills.“

“They have the best cheeseburger in Chicago. I went there in 2012, and 2013 on Kedzie, and omg it’s the best. I used to live in Highland Indiana and I took public transportation which it was GPTC bus to Downtown Hammond, and pace bus from Downtown Hammond Indiana to Downtown Harvey Illinois, and pace 349 from Harvey Transportation Center to 111th and Western, and CTA Route #112 bus from 111th and Western to 111th and Kedzie. Well now since I finally move to Chicago Auburn Gresham with my fiancé, and now I live 15 minutes away. I take 79th Street bus from 79th and Ashland to 79th and Kedzie, and transfer to CTA Route #52A Southbound and go all way to 111th and Kedzie. I’m even more glad you guys reopened which I had no idea where you guys relocated at Thanks to my friend Tracy for telling me where it is. I went there with my fiancé Raymon. I’m so glad you guys are amazing, and the service was great too. I’ll be back. This place is even very affordable.“

“great service nice friendly staff great food good bartenders.five stars .Be going back soon.“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“One of the oldest bar is In Chicago I’ve been going for 30 years and still love it“

“What a pizza! this is the new spot. we ordered pizza and buffalo wings, both were delicious“

“a great place to sit down with friends and enjoy burgers, shakes, and loaded truffle fries dipped in truffle butter.“

“i’m writing this review as i’m still sitting in the booth because it was just THAT good.

i ordered the french onion burger with the regular fries on the side, and let me tell you i haven’t had a burger check every box like this one. the garlic aioli was the perfect amount of flavor to complement the caramelized onions. the bun was seemingly buttered and fluffy. and the fries!! they had a flakey salt with not one fry left unsalted. they were also thin and crispy to perfection.

the service was great and every staff member was always smiling. i never write reviews but this one felt very necessary. 5 stars from me!“

“Best soccer pub in the Midwest, maybe the country. Can’t beat the world-wide coverage, the beer and drinks menu, the food quality, and the great service. No one has this combination. That’s why Hudson’s is the official home pub of the Chicago Hammers. They know and care for the game and its supporters, and not just the so-called big six.“

“I have to add an edit. First, the owner updated the menu and it is absolutely next level. Second, I tried their smash burger yesterday. It was beyond excellent. The flavor was incredible. It was built perfectly. You could pay twice as much and not get a better burger in the neighborhood. And it’s all made by hand. And on top of all that…and I value service over food…the service is always excellent and the atmosphere is always what I look forward to as well. They have yet to disappoint me. This is one of only two bars I go to anymore. I could not recommend more. If you haven’t already, check it out! You will be happy you took my advice.

Try the pizza! The shrimp salad is excellent too! Really good atmosphere and friendly staff who almost always just pour my “usual” as soon as I walk in. It’s a really good spot where you can meet a lot of people for interesting conversation. I very highly recommend this bar.“

“Can't say enough great things about my visit here! I stopped in with some friends for the first time this past Saturday. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Bridget, was fantastic.

Even though it was super busy, Bridget made sure to greet us and take care of our orders quickly. She was super personable and deliberately made time to engage with us in between taking care of other customers. She knew the menu inside and out and made great food and drink recommendations to us, and overall ensured we had a great experience from start to finish.

This is definitely our new, go-to neighborhood spot, and we will be coming back on the regular. The staff, music, vibes, and menu impressed us beyond expectation.“

“Cocktails were good if pricey, great service, fun atmosphere“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“Definitely nice place in Chicago“

“Awesome and lots of fun must go“

“Cool ppl good food and drinks“

“A dive bar? With Bourbon County on tap? Rabbits could be Moe's tavern right out of the Simpsons, but don't let that fool you. No Duff's here, but there is always a better than average and sometimes exceptional tap lineup for beer geeks. But don't let the secret out that you can get the full BCBS experience here in the fall without the crowd.“

“Amazing time! Bartender is amazing! Would definitely come back! 2 nights straight and both night had a blast! Will definitely come back!“

“Great food, service, and outdoor seating!“

“100p fire drinks fire people“

“Food are great And good drinks too“

“Great location, good food“

“First - Anya was a rockstar and somehow served almost the entire restaurant on her own and still provided a great experience for our group of 15! Anya made this a great happy hour event!

Second - They quickly accommodated our group of 15 on a Thursday after our original location fell through. They made it work very well!

Third - For those looking for a location that's great for a group all taking different trains, it's very hard to beat this location in OTC.

Food was good, place was full and loud, made it a win for our larger group. Nicely done!“

“One of the best chicken wraps I’ve ever had! Very good service!!“

“We had friends visiting from out of state and wanted to give them a taste of Chicago - Chicago Brewhouse on the Riverwalk was perfect! The choices of food that was strictly Chicago, like Mr Beef (The Bear) or Chicago style dogs. Being on the river was perfect people watching, boats, kayaks, music in the background, city noise and energy. I explained in the reservation my purpose for choosing Chicago Brewhouse and requested a riverside table, and when we showed up they had it waiting for us. There was a line of walk up people to be seated, so I made sure to step aside of everyone and let the host know we were waiting in line to check in so they didn't think we were late and potentially give our table away. They sat us immediately. It was Oktoberfest, so we tried some recommended beer. All-in-all they were outstanding in food and service, and I feel I made the perfect choice where to dine to give our guests an introduction to Chicago.“
