We went to the Weather Mark Tavern for Happy Hour. It could not have been better. The bartender was great and helped explain the Happy Hour offerings as well as the varied draft beer selections. A huge plus was the friendly crowd who welcomed us from out of state. The prices are very reasonable and that is rare in this city.

On Sunday December 14th - the coolest Bear game I’ve ever been to started out on a good note - until it didn’t. My husband and I showed up at Weather Mark to meet our niece and boyfriend for a little pregaming before heading to Soldier field for the noon game. I didn’t realize until we were leaving the car with the valet that I forgot my coat (in the SW suburbs). I asked the sweet lady at the hostess stand if there was any place I could walk to to buy a winter coat since I forgot mine at home. The closest place was a Target 7 blocks away - walking wasn’t going to work. Next idea was to get my car back from the valet and drive to Target. Before I could get the valet ticket from My husband the owner came out from the back of the restaurant and handed me his winter coat and said “please bring it back when you’re done and please take care of your server”. After tipping our amazing waitress a 100% tip on the bill we walked to the game - which we won, walked back to Weather Mark - returned the coat with a hug, and tipped the valet 100% for his service. Weather Mark Tavern now has 4 customers for life!!

Long standing South Loop bar with friendly staff and plenty of room to watch sports. Food is great. Big fan of the cheese curds.

Weather Mark Tavern has a great bar vibe—relaxed, comfortable, and not overly loud, which made it easy to enjoy a conversation. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed.
The food was good and reasonably priced for what you get. We tried the **Cheese Curds**, **Fish Tacos**, and **Southern Hot Brown Sliders**. The cheese curds were crispy on the outside and perfectly gooey inside. The fish tacos were fresh and well-seasoned, with a nice balance of flavor and texture. The Southern Hot Brown sliders were a pleasant surprise—savory, rich, and something a little different from the usual bar menu.
Overall, it’s a solid spot for casual drinks and good food. I’d definitely come back.

I hate to write this review. Weather mark used to be one of my favorite places to take the ladies on initial dates. I knew the food was great the drinks were good and the service was always standard. I haven’t been here since around 2011/2012. Glad to see it survived the times. I am deeply saddened to write that service, food and drinks have completely tanked. The sweet potato fries were almost burned, the wings were disgustingly undercooked and rubbery, if only they put batter on them to enrich the flavor and texture. My date and I stopped eating the wings and I ordered a grilled chicken byob. I added grilled onion and mushrooms to it and when I tell you that there were barely 3 pieces of grilled onion and 5 mushrooms, I mean it. We sat at the bar, our waitress was an older polish woman with glasses, never got her name but she barely checked on us 3/4 times. We had to ask for water and even the water had a strange taste to it. Our bill came out to 108.59, the service is severely lacking, the food is either undercooked or over cooked and the drinks were pre made or too sweet. After I paid the bill, my date noticed the bar tender talking to the server about the tip that I left and began pointing at us, I was unaware of this until my date said she wanted to leave and I thought it was weird because I wanted to stay for jeopardy which was just about to start. As we are walking out my date told me that the bar tender pointing at us made her feel uncomfortable and she didn’t trust any more food or drinks. Again I wanted to rank this place as high as I used to back in the day but with the treatment we got this day I’ll refrain from returning. It really wasn’t that busy.
