Welcoming and warming place to conversation
Great drink prices and selection. Menu could use a little more variety, but good enough for a snack and the quality is decent. Bartenders seem sullen, maybe they need a raise? Great bathrooms!

Front Bar is a trendy spot in the theatre building, perfect for socializing, watching sporting events, or grabbing a meal. The cozy atmosphere, fast service, and great drinks make it a go-to spot for weekend hangouts. The space has a modern, artistic vibe, creating a perfect setting for a pre-show drink or bite. The bar offers a small selection of snacks and friendly bartenders who remember regulars, making it an enjoyable place to relax before heading into the theatre. While seating may be limited and it can get crowded during intermissions, Front Bar provides good vibes, decent prices, and a cool connection to the theater on Halstead. The food, including items like the truffled mushroom flatbread and a short rib grilled cheese, is consistently enjoyed, though some items run out quickly. Overall, it’s a cozy, lively spot that’s great for unwinding before a show or sports event.
