Cortado was very good. My wife enjoyed her caramel apple cider. Def above average coffee beverages for being inside the theater.

Been there several times before shows at the Steppenwolf, always a great time! All of the food I have had has been great but I gave it 4 ⭐️only because they run out of things quickly. The bar staff is wonderful, especially Rachel, she is very friendly and remembers me each time I come in. I wish I knew the other girl’s name because she is also really good. I wish I lived closer to go when there isn’t a show going on!

With a few notable exceptions, the bar staff is atrocious. I have watched numerous times how they are only attentive to customers in their own demographic and ignore/slight the rest of us. Is the labor market so tight that Steppenwolf has to put up with such egregious customer service?

Stopped by Front Bar before catching a show at Steppenwolf, and it did not disappoint. The space is cozy with a modern, artistic vibe—perfect for grabbing a drink or a bite. I had the truffled mushroom flatbread and a Snappy Comeback cocktail, both were top-notch. Service was friendly, and the ambiance was just right for a pre-show hangout. Definitely a solid spot in Lincoln Park.

Hit up Front Bar before catching a show at Steppenwolf, and man, it didn't disappoint. The vibe's super chill, perfect for pre-show hangs. Ordered the truffled mushroom flatbread—absolutely delish with that balsamic kick—and the short rib grilled cheese, which was melt-in-your-mouth good. Pair that with a solid craft cocktail, and you're set. Dropped about $35, totally worth it for the quality and atmosphere. If you're in Lincoln Park and need a spot to unwind, Front Bar's got you covered.

Love, love Steppenwolf, but the food here is... interesting. Like bad cafeteria style. The "hoagie"? ??? Or the hummus?? Had better at a gas station. The coffee is great and the drinks at the bar are also. But as to the food... it''s like Melania would say: "Be Best!" ?

Nice place /Bar to socialize. Watch sporting events and just to have a nice meal. Food is good, service is fast, drinks are great! & everything has a great cozy feeling. I would assume it's a trendy great spot for a weekend hangout on a Friday or Sarurday night

Great space in the theatre building to grab a drink and a snack before a show! We come here every time before a play to have a cocktail. Bartenders are lovely and the staff at the food/cafe area are great! Small selection for food, but works if you want just something little!

Part of Steppenwolf theatre, they have quick meals like chicken salad croissants, sliders, mini-pizza's. Chips, coffee and pastries, all very good.
