50 Best Bar & Grill in Chicago

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!!!“

“Cool ppl good food and drinks“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Awesome and lots of fun must go“

“Parrots is your favorite local watering hole- family and female owned, Dayton bar, Chicago and Pittsburgh friendly- the food is consistently good and I recommend the Cesar salad w breaded chicken- made to order any totally delicious! Perfect for a light meal that will stand up to a few drinks! Pls come to this great bar! Plus free pool“

“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!“

“Definitely nice place in Chicago“

“Came here for the Mizzou game and was blown away by this bar. Not only was the energy electric, and the atmosphere incredible, but the staff and service was truly amazing. The food was FIRE (get the onion rings). We will be coming here for every mizzou game moving forward!!“

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

“100p fire drinks fire people“

“Food are great And good drinks too“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at 5iron Golf! The customer service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The food was delicious and exceeded expectations for a golf facility. On top of that, the entire place was spotless and well-maintained, making it a truly enjoyable and comfortable environment. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great golf, great food, and outstanding service!“

“Such an amazing spot! A great addition to the neighborhood! The service is amazing, everyone who works here is so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is great (the santi spring rolls is a hit on the salty side however). This spot is not just great as a local spot, but also worth a trip. The outdoor patio area is so nice and has music and indoors, there’s a really charming atmosphere with a fireplace. Love it!“

“I've been here multiple times now and every visit is fantastic! Great beer and mixed drinks. Food and service is absolutely top notch. The best spot for Cevapi in my opinion. The shopska salad is fresh and addictive. The burger is delicious and the spicy sauce they add to it is a favorite of mine that sets their burger apart from the exploding smash burger scene. The schnitzel is also excellent. I highly recommend you check out Rosewood Tavern.“

“Great food, staff and music.“

“I didn't have any food, and I'm honestly not sure if they have any, but the drinks are really good, and the service is great! This used to be Lost Lake, and I was super sad about it closing, but Common Decency is a great place to open up in it's absence. Interior is amazing, especially if you like more 'themed' and retro interiors. I love coming here.“

“This place is 🔥🔥my 1st time there it was a pick up order but wen I got home it was time to be put to sleep & that’s wat the food did I recommend the peach cobbler cheesecake thank me later & they home style chicken sandwich get there 10 out of 10“

“A really nice place to get some fun practice in. We were just walking by to see what it looked like and Devin gave us a free 30 minute voucher. We’ll be sure to stop back in the next time we’re in Chicago as while as check out your Cincinnati location!“

“great tacos! awesome beer listing. terrific ahi tuna bahn mi sandwich! wonderful owners and servers.“

“Great neighborhood bar! They have a huge patio, great specials, and amazing food & service! This place is an absolute gem in the neighborhood! Definitely going to be a regular for trivia on Wednesdays ✌️“

“Everything was great. Enjoyed my Brunch“

“The best food in North side of Chicago Fresh with homemade bread every day Their pizza is amazing Fish made with authentic style from Adratic sea ❤️❤️❤️“

“We hosted our businesses Christmas dinner here and they easily accommodated 15 of us. The food was excellent, the holiday decor was incredible and the service was outstanding. If they weren’t 2 hours away this would be our regular date-night spot. 100% recommend!“
