“I left with the biggest smile that a Chicagoan can produce! The drinks… Amazing! The service… Amazing! The bartender who went by the name “ taco ” can make an amazing shot using only simple ingredients that were available at the bar! I will definitely come again; for the service, for the bartender, for the atmosphere… but especially for the football! Go birds! 🦅🦅🦅“

“Watched the World Cup Final here with a semi-large group of friends (party of 8). I emailed asking about reservations for a table and within ~24 hours it was set. Great drinks and food. The people were super nice (both the staff and other patrons)! This place had the perfect vibes I was looking for to enjoy a big game, thank you WGT“

“Nice vibe in this place, although it can get really noisy if there is a party going on.
Our server, Nate, had a nice chill vibe and took good care of us.
The Ginger mocktail was very good.
Brussels sprouts were tasty if a bit overdone. The CBR smash burger was yummy.“

“I would have enjoyed Little Toasted six stars had I not been riding a train and on a layover whilst wearing comfortable clothing and not something nicer. I ended up there at happy hour on a Wednesday that didn’t include happy hour prices on beer but did on whiskey. Ordered an $8 beer anyways and was underwhelmed by its size. Lucky for me whiskey neat or on ice is half off. Very lucky for me and to make me happy, they had Hudson Rye Maple Cask (not often spotted in the wild). I asked for a 2 ounce pour over ice and it paired well with the tiny Hazy Beer Hug I was also sipping on. I didn’t try any food, but wish I had been hungry as the menu was small but packed in flavorful sounding options. Seems like this place is always going to be jumping at happy hour, so plan accordingly.“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this place while walking on vacation. Great food!! Service took FOREVER. It was busy but that’s the longest I’ve ever waited for service. Had to take the Old Fashioned up to the bar bc it was poured very short. Still a great place. Great waitress. Live entertainment was setting up too. Would definitely go back.“

Revolver Cocktail Bar • $$
1270 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago

“Amazing cocktails. Kudos to the bar crew.
Stellar service and attention to detail. If I could give 10 instead of 5, I would. I think her name was Rey (I apologize if I misheard it but it starts with an R). Sometimes even best restaurants miss the mark on service and she was very attentive from Get Go.

Happy Hour on Saturday, more bars should do this. We were pleasantly surprised and would totally come back.“

“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!“
