“I'm used to Ramen-San in River North, and I love it for a quick lunch. Given that this was a weekend and time wasn't a concern and we were meeting with a friend, we took the opportunity to linger and take a long lunch. Our service was spot on, never once felt we weren't being attended to. We had the chicken nuggets. Throw your idea of what chicken nuggets are out the window, because these are unique and delicious. Then on to the edamame hummus. Another home run. I especially liked it with the sesame crisps. My friend and I had the spicy miso ramen, my wife had two fried chicken buns and again - completely satisfied. Along with our meal, we decided to just keep grazing so ordered gyoza and crab Rangoon. Everything was perfect. So we sat too long, ate too much, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. Hearing Planet Rock playing in the background at one point just made it that much more awesome.“

“Stopped by for happy hour and spent about $30 on a spicy margarita and a pepperoni pizza. The margarita had a nice kick, and the pizza was solid—crispy crust, gooey cheese. The vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. They've got pool tables and TVs for sports, making it a great spot to hang out. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the wait for food was a bit longer than expected. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot.“

“Hit up Rebel & Rye on Grand Ave and left super impressed. Popped a Cherry Bark Old Fashioned and a Cucumber Collins—ended up around $26 for two killer cocktails. Bartenders were friendly and knew their stuff, had that cozy rustic‑bar vibe with big TVs and a hidden back patio. Free popcorn on deck, bring‑your‑own‑food is a bonus. Chill spot to unwind.“

“A fun place for groups and couples and friends and work groups. Lots of fun drinks and inside and outside seating and lots of appetizers and food. But the food isn’t great. The jalapeño nachos have too much jalapeño and little cheese and little salsa tomato. Drinks are good… food okay. Beautiful ambiance and modern look. Fun fun fun. Great for corporate events.“

“Bourbon on Division is the heart of Division Street. Beyond its gruff exterior (metaphorically), it boasts some of the most eclectic variety of live music and amazing DJ's in all of Chicago. I've met some of the best people in my life there. Management all the way down to security create a fun safe environment. Also 5 stars for the bartending tonight on Emo night. Chris and Krue were great!“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“
