“Great neighborhood spot for a drink on the patio, great beer deals and fun staff.

Used to be a great spot for a bite as well but the prices have gotten out of control. $16 for a Cesar salad with NO protein. $17 dollars for a turkey club. The food is solid but let's not pretend this is a place for $50 to feed two people.“

“Busy brewery somewhat off the beaten path. I had not had a chance to make out here previously but specifically made the trip. Busy dog and kid family brewery, the neighborhood seemed to be out to enjoy themselves on an early weekend evening. We found room at the bar and had a couple of drinks. I enjoyed the pils and lager I had. Both were clean and easily drinkable. It was fairly loud with dogs and families but we were still able to converse comfortably. Staff was friendly and attentive.“

“We rented the top part and watched it snow ... we were all there after our uncles funeral... This was his favorite restaurant...Wonderful food and our waiter was awesome ... Definitely will return“

“The perfect bar, I fear. I can’t believe I have ANY pictures in this place because I’m always just talking to someone or playing pool or queueing up songs on the jukebox. There’s something about this place that you can’t really take a picture of: the people are always friendly and chill, you can tell it has a low staff turnover rate, the food is ALWAYS good. This is the kind of bar which would be the ultimate muse for a poet from the 1800s. My one drink photo is an espresso martini that was made with love, but know that they put just as much love into every beer they pour. It just isn’t as instagrammable.“

“The guacamole 🥑 was amazing with the chips. Ribeye steak 🥩 was a great pairing with the pasta. Amazonian ice cream 🍨 was delicious. and a shot of espresso to finish was a very good combination of everything. Service was wonderful. Overall a great experience.“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“So awesome! Great burgers great service“

“Came here for a birthday party. I guess you can rent space for a private event. There was plenty of seating - both tables with chairs and high tables where you stand. It's a cozy neighborhood bar. Outside seating was still available for the public to use. The collection of beer was pretty good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They make pretty thin crust pizzas.“

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

“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!“

“Great vibe! Happened upon it while in Chicago - highly recommend!“

“Excellent place!! Highly recommend the big pretzel 🥨 WOW! Drinks were great also.“

“We just moved the neighborhood and we have many choices for fun and food. Port And Park is Incredible the food is delicious. The service is genuinely extraordinary.. Then the ambience is warm and welcoming. Port And Park is our go to place!“

“Gaslight Bar in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood isn't to be confused with the Gaslight Club at O'Hare Airport's Hilton Hotel or the old-style Gaslight Club in downtown Chicago. This Gaslight, located at 2450 North Clark Street, at West Arlington Place, is a neighborhood sports bar with three full bars, a year-round patio and a full and delicious menu. Open from 4 to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday, 10 to 3 a.m. on Saturday and 10 to 2 a.m. on Sunday, this is a space formerly occupied by Mickey's Bar & Patio. Since Gaslight Bar opened in 2014, it has become a popular go-to destination for folks who love to mix their sports with their palates. I showed up early for Game Day and started with chicken tenders with honey mustard, a bow of tomato basil soup with croutons and parmesan and Kale Caesar Salad with Kale, Romaine lettuce, parmesan, focaccia breadcrumbs and Caesar dressing. For a main event, I couldn't resist the house's best seller, a 4C Smash Burger, a double beef patty with American cheese, iceberg lettuce, pickles, red onion, dijon and ketchup. With house-seasoned French fries. Surely one of the best burgers in town.“

“Wonderful place and wonderful. Staff!! Wowwa the beer menu is ahhh Mazing!!“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

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

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

“The people were the BEST!! We are truck drivers hanging around town going to a Chicago Cubs game the next day. We were watching the 2nd game on TV and the lady serving us was sooooo nice and and helpful. We chatted while my husband watched the game. Such a cute friendly hang out ind of place. I hope to be back to visit again! I highly recommend this place to chill and watch sports and grab a bite.“

“Craft beer, Great Atmosphere & Location, staff is awesome and Kyle just makes you feel like you have been going there for years. A must before any Cubs Game!“

“Lovely place for a cocktail, conversation and live music. Lots of seating options so you can get as close or far to the music as you’d like. Bartenders do a great job creating original craft cocktails with seasonal options. Service was exceptional“

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

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

“R Public House is an absolutely fantastic neighborhood staple that perfectly blends a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with truly high-quality food and drink. It is exactly the kind of local spot where you feel instantly at ease, whether you are grabbing a quick bite after work or meeting up with friends for a relaxed evening. The menu is consistently impressive, featuring delicious, well-prepared dishes that use fresh ingredients, and their selection of drinks is always top-notch. I place an incredibly high premium on cleanliness when dining out, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally maintained their entire space is—it really shows a high level of care for the guest experience. The staff is consistently attentive, warm, and highly efficient, making sure everything runs smoothly even during peak hours. I highly recommend visiting R Public House if you are looking for a reliably excellent, comfortable, and professional environment for a great meal!“

“At the last moment I decided to check out this live music event at Os Tap Tavern and it was the best decision I made all weekend!
It was a great spot to watch Michigan State defeat Illinois U and I discovered a great new band Going Down South
What a gem
Keep up the good work Chicago 🍻“

“Update: It's s probably been 2 or so years since I've been in. Was in the neighborhood and had to stop in for nostalgia. Service is just as good as I remember and the food is still top notch! Shrimp Po boy and the wings tasted like I remember. Love the addition of the On Trend: Fire : It Slaps cocktail menu.

Excellent craft beer selection beyond just IPA's. Food has been consistently solid for the 7+ years I've been coming here.“

“I don't even want to know how much money I have spent here the past year LOL. I am here at least once a week! How can I not be with how close I live, how good the food is and how kind the staff is? I wish they could keep the French Onion and Baked Potato Soup permanently. I have also never seen a cleaner restaurant in my life. Highly recommend, bingo the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month!“

“Very nice place. Great service,respectful bartenders..“

“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!“

“Kirkwood = hidden gem! Rustic vibes, great staff, solid drinks, and live music/trivia goodness. New fav in Logan Square!“

“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!“

“We had The Double stuffed to the brim with friends and family to celebrate our wedding and it was an absolute blast! Henry and his staff made the whole experience seamless. They gave us a wonderful night full of good drinks and endless karaoke. Highly recommend for your next party.“

“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 to have some drinks and hang out“

“Fun, inviting atmosphere! The perfect spot to stop in after work for a drink, watch the game, or grab a delicious pizza. Great vibes, friendly staff, and a place you’ll definitely want to come back to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“simple, fresh, and amazing“

“Nice atmosphere and good cocktails combination“

“The Vegan Birria Tacos (hibiscus flowers, spicy dipping sauce, vegan cheese, cilantro, onion, elote salad) are excellent. There were some very interesting flavors, the tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat. Great rotating draft beer options. The decor is very interesting with a huge dragon artwork on the ceiling in the bar area. I can wait to come back.“
