“great bartenders..great bands..and great food..the rizzo patty melt was bar none the best pattymelt I have ever had.“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“We always come for trivia night on Wednesdays but are now also coming for weird movie Tuesdays! I love coming and sitting at the bar to chat with their amazing bartenders. They are so knowledgeable and always give me and my boyfriend amazing recommendations even when we have completely different tastes in beer. Luchiano has yet to be wrong on a recommendation and we have been coming for the past year and a half!“

“I had the mac and cheese with the steak on top absolutely divine🤍“

“We had to wait for about an hour for a table but it was sooooo! worth it :) the Beaujolais that my friend got was phenomenal, I was jealous that I had opted for a martini.

We all got a burger which was 10/10, cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. we shared the boccarones which I highly recommend and the gnocchi which was good but perhaps not paired well with something as heavy as a burger — thought the flavors might be a bit lighter/brighter.

all in all a wonderful experience, the staff was funny and attentive, the music was good, the vibes were up. looking forward to returning.“

“Spiteful Brewing Tap room is a relaxed, comfortable space with a wide variety of beers (to drink on premises or take away.)
I had the vienna lager and an IPA. Both were super tasty. My friends and I shared a large pretzel served piping hot with generous dollop of mustard. I am excited to go again soon.“

“Solemn Oath is a great little brewery. Cozy and full of great types of beer. I met some lovely dogs indoor..... Yep they allow dogs inside. I had a really awesome natural aged stout the was creamy with a chocolate aftertaste. There is a pool table inside. Would definitely come back!!“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“Osito's Tap is a great queer bar in the authentic Little Village Neighborhood in Chicago. They had fantastic and reasonably priced drinks, awesome flavored Michaladas, and great food. I loved the Oxana pizza and wings. It's got a great vibe and awesome staff.“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“AMAZING!!!

Decided on a vacation week! Chose Berwyn due to its proximity to Chicago. Glad we did!

What a great community!

We stopped in around 5pm. Nice greeting! Quickly seated.

We started with the Bruschetta. Instantly knew we were in the right place! Grilled bread! Not to hard not to soft. Fresh ingredients, great flavor.

I chose the lamb chops. Holy Smokes! Best I’ve ever had and that’s saying something!! I don’t know how they did it!!?? Grilled! Breaded! Crunchy! Tender! Perfectly cooked. Broccoli perfectly! Served with potatoes that were a little crispy with big flavor!

My wife had the Crab Cake. It was huge! Loaded with crab and perfectly seasoned and fried. The sauce paired perfectly with this dish. She also had penne pasta in their Marsala sauce. Again, everything was fresh and amazing.

Ended it all with 2 desserts because why not!
Tiramisu….Amazing
Crème Brûlée…Amazing

We ate all over Chicago, this was our #1 favorite!

Thanks for a great meal! I’ll be dreaming about those chops!! 🤤🤤😃“

“Attended an event here! The staff were incredible, clean and accessible. Kid and dog friendly! We had a fabulous time and can't wait to return for another event! Thanks for everything!“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“A great place to meet friends and see Drag Queens every other month“

“always a great time nice beer garden“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“I've been knows the number of times and I've always liked it. They've done a lot building out the rear space and that's nice to have expanded area because it was a little bit tight before. They have a stage in the main area which allows them to have entertainment.“

“We always know we’ll have a wonderful time at Tannins. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service team is attentive and friendly, and the wine selection is exceptional. Their wine club is a fantastic value, offering great perks at a very reasonable price. Tannins is our go-to spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

Gregg & Kim“

“Great atmosphere, very festive. The server was so nice and helpful with suggestions for our meal. She kept checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed.

The fried pickles with their dipping sauce were a fun surprise, really good.

Also, I enjoyed the Burrata pizza. Although it tastes great on it's own it could have used a balsamic glaze to sweeten it a bit. My friend opted for the Kimchi fries (slightly spicy) and the fruit pizza. It looked like a healthy summer salad, covered in feta and fruit, and was told it was pretty good.

Parking was a bit of a struggle. We found street parking behind the location in a residential street.

Great local spot to check out.“

“Stopped by Four Moon Tavern on a Friday night, had the Pimento Burger and a side of onion rings. Burger was juicy, cheesy, and hit the spot; onion rings were crispy and not greasy. Tossed back a $3.50 bottle of Schlitz during happy hour, can’t beat that. The jukebox was playing classic rock, the vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a solid neighborhood bar with good food and drinks. I’ll be back for sure.“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“A dive bar? With Bourbon County on tap? Rabbits could be Moe's tavern right out of the Simpsons, but don't let that fool you. No Duff's here, but there is always a better than average and sometimes exceptional tap lineup for beer geeks. But don't let the secret out that you can get the full BCBS experience here in the fall without the crowd.“

“Navigator Taproom is a great place to hang with friends and such a great concept with the self pour taps! The owners are great and down to earth, we love spending time here!“

“Came in the other day and had the best experience. Our server was maya 10/10 will be asking for her by request the next time we go. She was so attentive and made sure we had what we needed before we knew we needed it 😂 Love that. If you need a place to have a good time this is where you should be.“

“Very nice and friendly bartenders. They are very good at making any kind of drinks.“

“Great food and a local gem!!! We ate out on the patio and had a lovely meal“

“Great place, helpful beertenders! I stopped in to pick up a few Oktoberfest beers that I discovered they had via Untappd! Bottle shops like Beer on the Wall are perfect for when you don't want to buy a full 4-pack or 6-pack of something you want to try. And they have a good selection of beers on tap!“

“Very nice people, very knowledgeable of wine, they also serve wine by the glass and have tastings on Saturdays, we can’t wait to go back“

“Love this hidden gem in Cicero. Typical sports bar with great drink specials, live music on Friday nights, and DJ on Saturday nights. Great for watching all sporting events! Also has a gaming room with all of the best machines. As the sign on the building says its “the best kept secret in Cicero”!!“

“Come check out these wild wings. delicious a variety of flavors.“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“We had my sons second birthday party here and I would highly recommend to anyone who has enjoyed eating at Morettis. The catering and management team were very responsive, flexible, and excited for host our event. We had about 50 people and the staff was outstanding. Everyone loved the food. I would host again at Morettis!!!“

“Henry and his staff are amazing. The new outdoor seating is awesome. I love how the bar exceeds all the safety and sanitation protocols. I am grateful that we can order food from nearby restaurants delivered in a safe manner to the double. It’s truly a neighborhood bar !!!“

“What great food! What nice people! Can’t wait to go back.“

“I’ve never been to Star Bar before but I had walked by many times and I am so glad I came in on the night of Alex was working! She was so great explaining the neighborhood to me as a new patron and took all of my drink preferences to mine to make me a cocktail of my choice it was very nice of her.“

“stopped in from the rain and grabbed a mini beef and fries...7.95...great price. beef sandwich is exactly what you want from a local beef joint. great casual service. Sox game on....(rain delay lol) I just got into town from Florida and after you leave midway it's about a 15 minute drive...awesome location in a great area! 👍 👌 Thanks for the great experience Beefys!“

“Love this place❤️so welcoming great drinks,great prices, the environment is so awesome everyone is sooooo nice. They also have banda days which are so much fun. And you guys have to come visit Liz she makes the best drinks hands down. Definitely recommend this bar.“

“Great Food and sports ambiance. Can’t beat the owner’s vision for this place. He succeeded.“

“Never, ever! Too much drama and GANG activities!“

“Best Pizza Place on Irving Park Road!!!!“

“We hosted an event at the tap room for 60 guests and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Helpful, fun staff. Great atmosphere - the coziest neighborhood pub. Heck of a beer selection on tap. These people do it right. Highly recommend. We’ll be supporting the spot for years to come. Thank you for all the hospitality - honored to have celebrated with y’all!“

“Great place to have some drinks and hang out“

“If I lived in Chicago, this would be my go to drinking spot. Incredible beer list with a bunch of great stuff on draft. They’re a Malört bar so they go hard on everything Malört including an ever changing rotation of infusions. On my visit, I absolutely loved the Gumball infusion. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the cheddar caramel version, too. I don’t like the Chicago style popcorn mix with the same flavor profile but it somehow worked in Malört?“

“Awesome place. Good food, good beer list and great bartenders!“
