Roscoe's is iconic and someplace my partner and I have always wanted to go. The food was incredible, the service was phenomenal (shout out to Hara, my apologies if I spelled it wrong and to Shawn who is a superstar), and the atmosphere was great. We went during a RPDR Viewing Party so it was loud in the dining area, but it ensured you could hear the show, which we appreciated. The Viewing Party was amazing to see in person; Naysha Lopez, Batty Davis, and Kara Mel D'Ville were hysterical hosts, Q and Loosey were the special guests and were funny, vulnerable, and honest. The Friday Night Lights drag show afterwards was amazing! The queens of Roscoe's Chicago are top-notch and the entire is experience is something everyone should treat themselves to!

Love Roscoe’s and come often hence I’m a lakeview resident. Roman wasn’t the most pleasant bartender I’ve ran into…. when asked for the food menu I was told I have 15mins to order (which I understand the kitchen closing) but my friend who was with me asked “for food?” Roman then said “ON THIS MENU you have 15mins” very condescending. Then asked well do you want anything? My response was nothing, he had to be waved down from my friend to get an order in. Very disappointing when I come here so often but also to have a nice night out in my local bar on a Monday. Bryce would have never treated me that way!

I love love love, did i say love? I LOVE ROSCOES ! first of all, i was able to meet the lovely banana ? queen Nymphia Wind (she’s a pleasure) thanks to Roscoes i was able to meet one of my favorite drag queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race! the viewing party and Friday Night Lights are an absolute MUST to go to!! it gets very crazy but everything about these events are absolutely worth it !! and can i just say the food is absolutely delicious, and drinks are so refreshing here. Roscoes is my go to for a lovely night out! It does get expensive during these big events so just know you’ll have to pay a door fee, but for a regular good time at the bar is also a must ✨thank you Roscoes Tavern !
Fantastic dancing, drinks and performance. Can get super crowded, and trying to get to the coat check can be a bit of a journey since there isn't an established queue.

We went for the early dinner. We had the watermelon salad and the gouda burger. Both were outstanding! The burger had a savory sweetness to it. So good. The side of fries come seasoned and don't need anything else as they are perfect.

Valeria is such an amazing bartender! She was able to give great recommendations of nights to come and fun things to do around Boystown. 10/10!

AMAZING! My friends and I went to the drag brunch for my bachelorette and had a BLAST! Queens were so great and entertaining, food was good, and so was service. 10/10 recommend ??
The rudest staff I’ve ever encountered at a bar. Mean and angry at the world from the start. Imagine paying $5 to walk into this overcrowded hellscape.

Fun place! We watched the new episode of rupaul's drag race, we saw a Q&A with Megami and even met her and bought her a drink. The drinks were great, bartenders were nice, and the loaded fries are amazing and a great sharable size.

Had an amazing Friday Night Lights with my friends at Roscoe’s. We got amazing last minute seats to sit in the front row and got to chat with the awesome Naysha Lopez during breaks from the streaming of season 16 of Rupaul’s Drag Race . The service was super quick and friendly. Also super spacious and clean. Would love to come back and try the food.

Boring drag shows / boring queens shawn the drag recruiter or promoter which ever one he wants to be called needs to bring some queens back like iammoheart mizakeriachanel, alyssaedwards_1 because its now 2024 and it needs to be better roscoes never raise the bar when it comes to the queens they book. queens who honestly dont turn it besides batty which i love batty so this does not apply to batty davis! but the rest its a chop ?? and its just all FACTS this iswhy i stay home until i see some queens who actually performs on a flyer.
