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

“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’re on our way to The Green Mill for a show and looking for a place to grab a bite and a beer beforehand. Nearby is the Uptown Taproom so we decided to give it a try.
Cheerful hello from the bartender when we walked in. Always a good sign.
Nice menu and beer selection. College football on both bar tvs, so husband is a happy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“5 Stars ⭐️ amazing food, highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 discovered R Public House when Honeybear Cafe had a 2 hour wait this Sunday. So grateful I heard about R Public, and got a fantastic window table right away. The service was fantastic, the food excellent, the prices reasonable. They have beautiful outdoor seating as well. This is a wonderful Roger's Park gem, with an eclectic menu, artsy/homey pub vibe, and a quiet location on a street with no car traffic.“

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

“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.“

“Great drinks and beer selection and fabulous food selection pizza 🍕 ribs salads and more but the best part super pet friendly 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐱“

“Was there a day ago had a few drinks 🍹 Andy the man such a cool guy 👏🏼 honestly recommend 💯% very peaceful place to have a drink and chill 🤗“

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

“Trace is one of the best hidden gems of Wrigleyville, and I'm so shocked that more people don't know about it. There's free popcorn, free hotdogs (with drink purchase) after Cubs games, and you can play Nintendo Switch games with your friends for free. In my experience, this bar doesn't get too crowded during busy hours. Also, the bartenders have always been very kind when I've visited. Thanks for being a Wrigley staple, Trace!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Ireland’s is so fun! Love all their events, especially tap takeover �“

“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!“

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

“Great place to have some drinks and hang out“

“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!“

“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.“

“We have an amazing time every time we go there. We enjoy taking one of our bikes, muscle cars, antique cars etc for a night out, and going for great food and entertainment. The bartender is absolutely fantastic! He remembers what we drive, hobbies etc. It’s just an all around great place to go. The burgers are just absolutely fantastic. And you can’t beat the Monday special. Try the seasoned fries!“
