“My favorite burger that I’ve ever had in the city. I could not believe how incredible this place was. Got a pretty cheap bottle considering the quality and it was perfect. Everything else on the menu looked amazing and I can’t wait to come back and try the rest. Our server was not around very much but it seemed like he had the entire restaurant to himself so he did great all things considered.“

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

“First time at Spiteful brewing and it was exactly what you might expect from an independent brewery. Good selection of beers, good location and it looks like they have a very nice outdoor seating area out front.

This day was not conducive to outdoor seating, but I imagine this is a great location during the summer months.“

“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.“

“We had friends in town for the night and knew we would get a good meal and experience at Gaia. We sat outside so had to pause conversation for the passing BNSF and Metra trains, but that is all part of the ambiance. We had the arrancini special appetizer which had the perfect ratio of rice to filling. I had the halibut, and it was perfectly prepared with a piccata sauce and angel hair. Our friends enjoyed that the staff is familiar and all welcoming which adds to the neighborhood feel.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I ate an early lunch, so it was really quiet.The food was fantastic. Bacon Wrapped dates are tasty and had a sauce that really complemented the dish. The Chicken Lady Pizza was excellent. Caramelized onions definitely gave the flavor a pop. It was too early for me to drink, but I was impressed by their bar selection (especially Irish whiskey).“

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

“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!

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”!!“

“Boasting an immaculately curated draft list, free popcorn, and friendly service, the Green Lady is an essential Chicago beer bar. If you have a chance to talk to Melani, the owner, you'll understand why; her dedication and passion are immediately evident, and help explain why the Green Lady is welcoming to long time regulars and new travelers alike. Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for open mic night!“

“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!“

“NGL. It's loud in the back, but I'm an older head. It's for everyone but meh... probably better for the 25+ in the back.
Probably a GREAT EVENT Space. Pool Darts. Couch, etc.
Upfront. Locals. Dates, etc...
The BARTENDER is very professional.
Clean. No wait. Cool place if you need a NOISE but no action. Hook up?? Meh... Solid Place. FUN!!“

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

“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!“

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

“Just picked up a pizza. It is absolutely perfect and delicious. We ❤️Easy Street PR! And love the online ordering site. Very user friendly.“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“
