Stopped by Randolph Tavern before a show at the Cadillac. Had the Nashville Hot Dipped Chicken sandwich with fries and a pint of local IPA. Chicken was crispy with a nice kick, and the brioche bun held up well. Fries were hot and crispy. The place has a classic tavern vibe with wood accents and a long bar. Service was friendly, though the place was a bit loud for conversation. All in, spent about $25. Solid spot for a pre-show bite.

Went at 7.15. Kitchen was closed. Check first and be aware. Shame, it looked good

Fine. FYI - They have happy hour on every day including Fridays, but not Thursday. Weird

The food is good. It's as described on the menu. It's not hot, its not pretty, its not memorable. It's another restaurant in the loop. It's also quite expensive for what it is.

We had a blast here. We had great service. Darius was our server. It is right near Cadillac Palace Theater. Longest bar we've ever seen and super cool. The later it got the more packed it was in there. Thankfully we went early! Food was great and large portions! We need to go there again!

We stopped in to this location before leaving Chicago as it was close to Union Station. It was pretty slow, but the service was good. The drinks were average and the food was OK. This is a nice little pop in spot for bar food. I would say it was pricey but it is chicago and in a popular location. It's not a place I would intentionally return to. My friend did however say her drinks were delicious, but she didn't eat her cod meal.

We ate here before attending a show at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. We made a reservation online, and were seated quickly. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food arrived so fast! I got the chicken gumbo and it was fantastic. My husband really enjoyed the fish tacos. The walk to the theatre is super quick from the restaurant, so it was perfect for us.

Steak tacos were dry. Asked for jalapeños and ranch. Server forgot both

3.5. the food was okay, beer was a little overpriced. Good atmosphere, good location as we were seeing a show at the Cadillac. I would probably come here again. I had the blackened fish tacos. They were fine but the slaw on them was soggy. Partner had the chopped salad, It tasted soggy and needed more crunch and salt, the chicken was a bit dry. There is probably something on the menu that is excellent, but what we had wasn't it which is very disappointing.
Good place to grab a burger before a show. Uncomfortable chairs.

Spent too much here to be treated as a commoner. Service is great when no one is around…if they even have a measly 5 guests…expect a wait. They simply don’t have the staff to accommodate small groups let alone CROWDS. I keep things and orders simple for them and still wait. I literally order the same everyday. EVERYDAY. The male bartender told me the cheapest to buy and I stuck to it because it seemed easier for them since they didn’t carry any of my original go to’s. I was sick of asking to no avail. No biggie..I only go while waiting for my coworker. I still preferred this place because of how quiet and dead it usually is. Plus it’s smaller business which I’ll happily support over others.
After today—no more of MY money will be spent there. I went in to sit and was on the phone like normal,bartender came over and idk what she said I just smiled and nodded,turns out she rang a drink up while I was still waiting. Weird because I left the drink unattended and went to the bathroom as I was in the process of doing. so if that were my drink and I KNEW that,id leave it with a worker(her,as I’ve done previously) or wait to order til after. Yea she assumed since I’m there often,which I do appreciate, but I went to take a call near the “lounge” so I could hear and some short lady chased me to the door ..practically.(?) . Very,very bizarre.
I told my friend to just meet me outside today and not to bother coming in and I will no longer bring business,or give business. I’ve sent 7 people here thus far(3 months),I regret it now. Every show I go to across the street—I bring people there. Coworkers—there. Family for a quick drink down the st from me-here. No longer. Everyone has off days but it was such an unnecessary reaction. Mainly from the girl at the door who treated me like a pauper and the girl bartender/glasses yelling and throwing my can in the garbage with all her might. Wth. …After the bartender “confronted “ me I said no you know I didn’t order ..I nodded. I am waiting, you assumed. she said “well you took a drink?!” …ummm you handed me a drink. Wth I get sent or given by staff free drinks more than I pay anywhere.
Food: HORRID. Go here for simple drinks only. Food is crazy overpriced and disgusting. I’ve tried most appetizers,salad and fish n chips. Barf. Don’t waste time there. Cheese curds are huge serving and most doable here. Definitely an appetizer for a group though.
Eh,just go to a gastropub in the area. So many others. They’ll treat you like the cash you are. Go to Monks just feet away even…IMPECCABLE service and workers seem to love it. They don’t moan constantly to patrons etc. about the owner at least.

Came here after waiting an hour or bad service at the L Station across the street.
We were running short on time before going to the theatre for a show.
Missy was our waitress and she was ON IT! She assured us appetizers would be out within 10 and then our food shortly after.
Food was great, atmosphere was great, clean facilities, and great service!

The atmosphere is nice. We had drinks at the bar. We were charged a 3% credit card fee and we were never told. We will not be back.
