“Deliciosa la comida recomendada al 💯 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“One of our favorite places to eat when we’re in Chicago. Love the atmosphere, food and cocktails. Will be back soon.“

“dope as food fire beer🔥🔥🔥“

“This might be my favorite business in the city. First of all, their draft menu is huge and rotates all the time. You can always find quality imported Belgian beer, but then you flip the menu over and there's loads of other unique beers. Some brewed in Chicago, some from other cities, and even some other imported stuff. I frequently find rare and unique beers here that I would have never thought to seek out. Plus, they have ciders and meade on draft.
Then, if somehow you don't see anything on draft you want, they have an entire laminated booklet full of bottled beers. Again, heavy on the Belgian stuff but plenty of other options too. They even have NA beers, gluten free, a good wine selection, and house cocktails.
All this alone is enough to bring you in, but the vibes are also immaculate. The place has a old timey, wooden everything charm and is covered in interesting branded beer signs. There's a second bar on the first floor and a third one upstairs if it's busy. There's garage door windows that they open when the weather is nice. And there's a gorgeous patio in the back. One of the rare places to eat/drink outside that's not next to a street or parking lot. I love coming here on weekdays to get work done when it's not crowded, or bringing friends to hang out on a weekend.
The food here is good too. It's not usually what draws me in, but the bread butter board or cheese board are always a nice complement to the beers.

My only complaint is that nothing here is cheap (I always end up spending $40-60/person just on beers). But it's so, so worth it.“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“I gave them 4 stars for the friendly and quick service. I believe I paid 18.00 for 2 shots of some peanut butter tasting shot. Thats a hefty price, which is why i hang out in the burbs. Regardless, fun atmosphere. I would drop by again for a beer or two. Did not eat.“

“Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to come back“

“I have been here / multiple times - each in different attire and different levels of “messy”.

Each time, I was greeted with a smile, respected, served delicious food and drinks and thoroughly enjoyed my experience - even enough to sit and dine in (that doesn’t happen often).

I have not had one thing on this menu I didn’t like - both drinks and food. But I came back for the wontons a few times ;)

Thank you to victor, Jorge, David and staff 🌻“

“Best Old Fashioneds in all of Chicago ask for the M2 you won’t regret it“

“Very friendly atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Great local hangout in Roscoe Village. And amazing Wisco Cheese Curds!!“

“I hosted my son’s first birthday party on a Saturday afternoon here and can’t recommend them enough. Jason and Marcos were communicative and accommodating with all the planning. Ellie and Josh were great day-of service staff. Food was delicious, space was perfect. Best place in the neighborhood to host a party!“

“Cozy neighbor bar experience. A very nice draft beer selection. Wednesday’s are 1/2 off wine bottles.“

“I stopped by on a walk and decided to check this out prior to selecting a dinner spot for my trip in Chicago. Greeted with charm as I requested to just take a glance at the space. We ended up coming back around 7 pm for dinner and I have to say… it was a stellar choice. Willow was a delightful human to serve us. We picked a seat in the window, it was a romantic and cozy vibe. Low lighting, just perfect for a dinner with a friend. Shepards Nachos are a MUST. Beef Tips…a must. Get the cheesecake… Shoutout to Willow for being a wonderful person to be around during our trip. Excellent service. 👌👌👌 We will be back. 💚“

“Food was awesome, service... Ehhh“

“Great food and great bourbon selection. But the bourbon is not on the menu you have to ask for it very good. Wait staff was excellent as well.“

“Good ambience. Good food. Good service. My husband and I went there with another couple and were amazed with everything. We want to go again.“

“This is a fine neighborhood staple. I frequent Mondays when not traveling for work. Orla is generally bartender and an absolute wonderful person. Owen one of the owners I had met in the past is also great as well as the entire staff. The food is better than what you would get in a bar as they pride themselves on a grand quality with great price points. Typically not seen in many Chicago establishments.

The dog friendly patio is massive. Introducing both high top and regular tables. They have a large indoor dining area separate from the bar area. It's great for family dinners, parties and more. Get in there and get some food, a properly poured Guinness goes a long way here, I don't even think Guinness pours em like Gideon Welles does!!!“

“Some of the best food in the area! Great customer service, sometimes slow, but their friendliness and beyond delicious food make up for it.“

“Little Toasted is one of those spots that just works no matter what kind of day you’re having.

You can bring your laptop and knock out some work, host a casual meeting, or simply kick back and relax. The space is unique, very inviting, and surprisingly spacious — an easy place to settle in without feeling rushed.

Drinks are solid, and Johnny behind the bar is a big part of the experience. He’s quick, personable, and genuinely knowledgeable, always open to conversation and happy to guide you on what’s pouring that day or what might fit your mood.

Whether you’re working, meeting, or unwinding, this place adapts to you. I’d absolutely take advantage of the space in any of those scenarios — it truly fits whatever kind of day you’re having.“

“Great drinks, food, fun.“

“Atmosphere is great🥰 A quiet setting. Maggie was a great waitress she kept coming to our table making sure we needed anything 🥰 hats off to the chef!!!! food was great. I had the prime new yourk strip with garlic potatoes and vegetables wonderful. My man has the pan roasted salmon it was great 🥰🥰 will visit again“

“Always nice stop for lunch beers and 🍷 Great service from Sue… looking forward for next visit“

“Amazing Vegan Coconut Curry and the Sorbet dessert to finish off my birthday meal...SO good! Awesome wait staff :)“

“It’s really nice and they have great food and drinks“

“I enjoy sitting next to one of your regulars, Jaime! Very joyful! I love my bartenders! I wish I can say that I have a favorite, but every single one of them make me feel like family! Anthony, Valerie, Lorena, love them with all my heart! Great atmosphere and always welcoming! You will never be disappointed! Come by and you’ll see what I mean! ❤️“

“100 stars wouldn’t be enough. We randomly booked my wife’s birthday party here, admittedly because there was no contracted minimums and we didn’t want to be checking receipts all night, but the upstairs party space is the best. kept. secret. in all of Chicago. They just give it to you, small cleaning fee. And the space is amazing. Multiple rooms, private/amazing staff, private pool area with great second story views, dedicated speaker system. The drinks were amazing and the event concierge (Frank) will not rest until your party is the toast of the city. Food was also great! Everyone at our party said it was the best they’ve been to in a while. Secret is out. One of the best nights of our lives.“

“We reserved a table for two for an early Christmas Eve dinner, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made the evening feel extra special. We were quickly greeted by our server, Ashley, who was super attentive. She put in our drink order right away and brought out their complimentary soda bread, which was a great touch. We ordered the Shepherd’s pie and a wedge salad with chicken, everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were quite large. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back in the summer to enjoy their patio.“

“Love this place. The drinks are amazing, the food hits the spot, and the bartenders are what make this place a gem in Chinatown.“

“I had an amazing time at FTW Arcade Bar! The atmosphere is perfect for a fun night out with friends. The arcade games are a blast, and the vibe is electric.

What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from our bartender, Luke. He was not only super friendly but also knew how to make some killer cocktails! Luke was attentive, quick, and always had a great recommendation ready when we were unsure of what to try next. His energy added to the overall fun of the night, making our experience unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a great place to unwind with games, drinks, and top-notch service, FTW is the spot to be. Huge shoutout to Luke..he made our night! Can’t wait to come back!“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“great tacos! awesome beer listing. terrific ahi tuna bahn mi sandwich! wonderful owners and servers.“

“This place is great. Ngl I’d never been and I assumed the food would be mediocre and drink options would be limited. Food was delicious and good quality(charcuterie board and carnitas tacos. again was not expecting much lol but they were both delicious). Old fashioned and Margaritas awesome as well, they use solid spirits and not overly sweet. Good times“

“Ate here before the Bears vs Rams playoff game. R
The hostess was very accommodating seeing as how we didn't have reservations and the place was booked. They were able to seat us relatively quickly and we were able to eat before the game.

The food and drinks were great!“

“Excellent customer service, great food, great mimosas. Overall the best service!“

“Warm vibe with fast service“

“BBQ Burger was delicious ! Fries that came with pretty ordinary however . Drink was a bit weak but believe the waitress made it as I saw no regular barkeep“

“I enjoyed their hearty Lobster roll, Mac 'n Cheese, and their Salted Caramel Cheesecake for dessert. Friendly staff and LIVELY atmosphere. Great comfort food in Chicago! I'll be back ~ Also, they have terrific LIVE Music! (2025) ☘️ 🎻🪕“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch, first-time visitors. Smash burger excellent, Cubano sandwich excellent, fries were outstanding. We sat at the bar and the young lady serving us was cheerful and attentive. We'll be back! Thank you! 🤗🍺👍“
