The mixed drinks are stellar and the bar tender is one of Chicago's finest. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is the true gem of the Lincoln Square neighborhood. A great selection of food and cocktails, all reasonably priced, brought to you by a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Top notch.

Our bartender Ian went above and beyond at making us a great cocktail. Love the energy this place has, highly recommend for drinks!

We came in Thursday to grab dinner prior to our movie. We sat at the bar & got 2 orders of fish tacos & a beer for my husband. I’m pregnant so I asked for the mojito with no alcohol. I was a little embarrassed to order that but the bartender Ian was so nice & accommodating. It was so tasty. Our food came and the fish tacos were delicious! We ordered the churros for dessert & wow were they good! They were warm & crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside & came with an ancho Chile dipping sauce! The food was great but my review is really for the service! Ian was so warm & welcoming! And very attentive, even making sure to ask what time our movie was so as to make sure the food came out quickly. When the bill came Ian didn’t charge me for my mocktail & applied a Thursday special discount that we weren’t aware of. Our bill only came out to be like $35 for 2 meals, multiple drinks & dessert! I left a $20 tip as Ian totally deserved it! He even gave us to go cups for our water for the movie. It was wonderful service but he just seems like a really good guy. It really makes me want to come every Thursday to eat, see a movie & get served by Ian again! We’ll definitely be back.

Had cocktails here and they were delicious and well balanced. The bar tender was great and amazing service. Also their Bloody Mary popcorn was great.

Manager who served us was rude to my friend and I and threatened to kick us out over a small misunderstanding. Overall has a bad attitude towards his patrons who aren't locals from the area. Talks down on patrons and sticks his nose in places where he shouldn't. Other bars in the area have much better service and don't treat their patrons like little children. If you can't tolerate your customers or at least show some respect towards them than find another job whose goal is to put other people down.

The food is always good and the cocktails are tasty. Our servers have always been really nice too!

Best part of going to Davis theater is you can go to carbon arc afterwards to eat.I still dream about their fries . I'm sure they are double fried. Some how its soft and chewy in the inside and super crispy on the outside. Not too thin , just rightAlso got the smash burger with bacon, brussel sprouts, cheese curds, fish taco, churros. Everything was nicely done and perfect for an eveningHighly recommend coming here for just drinks even + their fries and curds before a movie. Their drinks are pretty good like the new dirty martiniMore on Instagram @midwestmunching

Had dinner at 5pm on a Friday night and had our pick of tables. Great, friendly service. I ordered a beer (bodem), shared the roasted brussel sprouts app, and had a smashburger (double patty, lettuce, onion, tomato and cheese). The burger comes half-wrapped in insulated paper, which keeps it hot and the cheese melted while also making it easier to pick up and put back down. The fries came in a mini replica of a fry basket, and were crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside; just right. The brussel sprouts were outstanding, coming with a red thai sauce that was sweeter than it was spicy, and went well with the blackened, roasty flavor of the b sprouts. We had our water refilled and were checked on a few times. In and out in an hour, in time to catch a 6pm showing at the Davis next door (connected).

Great place, very good burger and fantastic fries. Pretty chill, great service
Horrible. 12 inch pizzas weren’t even 10 inches, and the ingredients only covered the middle 4”. Curds frozen on inside and how is that an order? Chicken not cooked through.
Sabrina Mercer
We love coming here before/after a show! The service has always been excellent. Sabrina is truly amazing. She is so personal and incredible at her job. Highly recommend this place for a dinner/movie combo.

The burger was as consistent as in the past but the cheese curds weren't the same. It might be a door dash issue though so I went from 3 to 4

I’m really conflicted on this review. Normally I would 100% recommend this place. However, during the Lincoln Square Brew Fest, we came here for smash burgers. I convinced my friends that these were the best burgers in the neighborhood. We all showed up and ordered the smash burgers. They were all came out single pattied. This establishment’s smash burgers have ALWAYS been double pattied. We asked the lovely waitress and she admitted to us that during the brew fest the owner decided to change the smash burger to a single patty. No difference in price. This has honestly changed my perspective on this place and I may not return. It’s a shame.

I recommended this place to my friends who were cravin burgers - “best smashburgers around!” I said. Friends went and they got sad single patties instead of the usual double. When asked, the response was, “oh, it’s the winter beer fest…only single patties today.” There was no warning of this change on the menu or from the server. A shady business practice to say the least - what else might they be trying to pull on other days? Buyer beware
