“Social Junkie is one the top 3 best bars in the dunning area. I’ve been coming here since they rebranded and it’s always been a fun time! Great drink selections and their food is outstanding. I’ve tried a couple of different items from their menu over the years and I recently got their Parma burger and fries. They were both delightful and it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I can’t explain it, but the taste was so unique and also very affordable compared to other bar and grills in the city. It’s a worth a visit when you are in the dunning area!“

“I visit Chicago every year for NYE and Weston’s has become a familiar favorite of mine year after year. I love that the lavender lattes are year-round, absolutely scrumptious pastries, friendly staff, and the environment is comfortable. Earlier this month before heading out, I went to purchase a sweatshirt but they didn’t have any in store in my size. Nick, the owner, went above and beyond offering to meet up beforehand, but I just didn’t have time-so he shipped it. It’s so comfy and I love that I’m able to represent another business that is close to my heart. Thanks, Weston’s!“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Stopped in Tuesday 04/21 for a couple drinks and get a pizza. When I arrived only a handful of customers where there, within 45 minutes, over 25+ customers came in for lunch. Armando was the bartender, server etc by himself. Samantha was the on duty manager. They got completely swamped, but thru it all Armando was serving/making drinks and beverages,Taking orders, serving food. Sam noticed how busy it had gotten and took over the hostess station, seating people, bringing food out, answering phones. She also helped Armando out as needed, the 2 of them were working together flawlessly, and quite honestly they rocked it. They should be applauded and given big kudos for the effort they put together, was an uplifting thing to see“

“The outside dinning garden and Bar is magical !!! with the beautiful large trees decorated with just the right amount of lights. Have a cocktail have dinner. Listen to live music every Thursday night. The food is amazing and they have a great summer cocktail menu. Perfect for family or date nights. Fun free bingo on Thursday nights. Staff works very hard to make sure that your experience is the best. Their salads are amazing and so are all their appetizers. Let’s not remember. It’s right across from the train tracks easy way to get there without having to drive. five stars.“
