“We were a party of 6 people, tried the black croquettes, corn Madeleine, the vegetables , the fried chicken and the salt. Everything was delicious. Cocktails were very good too. The service was a bit long but at the same time, it is pleasant to not be rushed in a restaurant and to have time to eat your plates without anyone asking you every 5 min if you were done.I will definitely be back“
“Absolute perfection I have gone for late night dinners and I just went for brunch bottomless mimosas for $25. Great music great service great food there is no time to go to this amazing restaurant street parking great view and a perfection of a vibe.“
“Took my best friend here for her birthday brunch and she loved it. It was just her and I but the atmosphere was very chill and welcoming. Our server Joy was honestly such a cherry on top. Not only did she provide amazing service and drink recommendations, but she also helped me sing happy birthday to my friend. Over all a great experience. Will be coming back. Joy thank you for your service.“
“Decided to go out very last minute for my birthday & wanted to try something new. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Nine Bar & couldn’t wait to check it out with my friends. This place exceeded my expectations, the drinks were phenomenal, music was great, service was amazing! On top of that, security made sure not to have the place super packed so they limit the amount of people coming in. Just the atmosphere alone was so good, you didn’t feel like you were in Chicago. I had a few friends who weren’t drinking and they brought over a great selection of Mocktails. Overall if you are looking for a great time & something different this is the place. They know exactly what they’re doing & provide great service which is all you can ask for.“
“Amazing cocktail bar with great ambiance and drinks! Amazing mixologist at the bar - Matt was very passionate and knowledgeable about his cocktails. We had 6 different cocktails total and all were delicious. The winners for me:- Lost Explorer: if you like mezcal!- Purple Pisco Sour: a little sweeter but the maracuya foam is delish!“
“i absolutely loved dining here. the cosy moodiness, the partially open kitchen, record player tunes, knowledgeable and attentive staff, delicious duck.did i mention the delicious duck? and every dish we had ..even the popcorny dessert was uniquely inviting. beautiful fun find and definitely worth your time.“
“Our server Santana was great, we were there for brunch and we were looking forward to some hot coffee (which they do not serve), but Santana made us some hot coffee even though it was not on the menu to welcome us. He was great in making sure that we had everything! Would go back just to have him as a server again, the food was delicious, maybe they could include hot coffee on their menu in the future.“
“A Chicago institution. If you don't like Maria's then you probably don't like Chicago. That's fine, but why u here? Maria's is a great place to chill with a cold one. They don't have a huge tap list,but they do have a nicely curated mix of local brews. They also have old standbys like Old Style and PBR. Even on a Sunday afternoon they had good music playing. Maria's feels like home. Thats Chicago.“
“Since moving to Cicero in 2020 this has been our spot. Food is always on point, service is super friendly and they have an outdoor patio that we can bring our pup pup.Vegetarian options: There's always something vegan or vegetarian friendly.“
“vibes were vibin' and the music was bumpin' all while I got drunk drinking a delicious cocktail and told my entire life story, in all its naursty detail, to my coworker. we then walked to the Chiu Quon next door but they were out of most things cuz it was 9:30, then we went to miniso and I bought a cute watermelon duck plushie, then we went to Mango Mango and got Durian dessert and tried going to Ping Tom park to eat it but got kicked out by the scummy park police (ACAB). anyways, bar was great, 10/10“
“Came here for a private party event on a Sunday afternoon. Space is really nice and chair, tables and other seats were nice. They played good music and had two large t.v.s playing different games for people at the bar. The drinks were well made, but with so many people, they definitely needed more than just two people. But it was nice to have a small sitting area outside in the back as well.“
“Can't say enough about this wonderful place. The food is some of the best even against the great Mexican food in Chicago. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love that exists. Drinks are some of the best I've had and the creativity is second to none. My wife and I really enjoy coming here trust me, when you're here you're family. Gracias“
“the food is great, fresh and hot, and the service is great. Drinks are great. Music is great, just a great vibe. You can't go wrong, go check it outParking: park in the lot or on streetKid-friendliness: they can play games while eatingWheelchair accessibility: right on corner“
“Delicious food, pleasant server, however, he wasn't very helpful with meal descriptions. As a 1st time patron, it would have been useful to know chicken entree could be shared giving opportunity to enjoy more options from the sides section. We'll know next time.“
“My first time coming was today and it was amazing! Yea took very very good care of us! The venue is beautiful, the food was good and the drink was ?! Stop reading and go already! I’m already planning my return! I don’t have any pictures of my daiquiri, catfish and Mac & cheese because I went right in! ?“
“Love Love Love this hidden Gem! If you want to enjoy a date night, a relaxing night with some wine and or your friends it's a very nice chic spot to hang out. It has a bar a room to play slots if you want and a back room where you can sit sip and enjoy your wine. Very nice Chic ambiance. I would have never guessed this place was so nice from the location and I'm very glad to have given it a chance! Definitely will be going back!“
“This place is excellent. My friends and I are frequently in the south loop and love to come here because 1) they have an amazing happy hour and 2) their drinks taste GOOOOOOD. Like TOO good! You have to be careful ?We had a birthday meet-up here and they were so accommodating, made us shots, let us light the cake we brought, all of it. I wish I had pics of that night but I was so lit I don’t think I took any!I conduct right down the street and sometimes it’s nice to do some score study here and have a coffee.Support this spot - they also have a rotating menu that is very creative and stays current with the season! Like they have a hurricane right now bc it’s Mardi Gras!?????☕️ ?“
“Thank you, Tack Room, for having Rene Avila's Afro Cuban Band tonight! They were soulful, I was vibin' and having a great time the entire evening. All I had was a spicy margarita and wings, and you even nailed that. I can't wait to experience another one of your guests again!“
“My partner and I came here for drinks after our dinner at Maribel. The bartender is friendly and checked on us several times throughout the evening which I appreciate. They serve pretty much anything you can imagine from mixed drinks to seltzers to beers. My partner ordered two handshakes (Malort shot + Old Style). I ended up trying one of their mixed drinks called Spring Fling which has vodka and other ingredients in it. I appreciate my drink being on the stronger side, where you can taste and feel the alcohol in it, but there's still a bit of flavor and fruitiness to it. There's ample seating at the bar and in the back. It's a fun time, they had the Soxs and the Cubs games on on their TVs. It can be a bit loud where you can hear each other's conversations. It was pretty busy on a Tuesday evening. They also take card and cash here which is convenient. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a good time and affordable drinks.“
“I love this bar so much I started coming here with my friend Liz who works here and it's such a good vibe. No drama good music good drinks and amazing people. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAR come down to tio Juan's for a good time and events“
“Dawn A.M. Eatery is located in the Hyde Patk neighborhood inside the historic Windermere apartment complex on Chicago’s south side. It’s walking distance from the Museum of Science and Industry located on the lakefront. This all day Brunch establishment offers delicious breakfast and lunch items with standouts like homemade biscuits with flavored butters, creamy and well spiced Shrimp and Grits, deviled eggs with smoked salmon and a variety of mouth watering baked goods. The atmosphere is sunny and colorful with friendly and welcoming staff. It’s perfect for families or a girls catch-ups. Dawn is a busy place, so make a reservation and be prepared for a delightful meal and enjoyable experience!“
“Great vibe, great music, and decent drinks. I came out to this bar because many of my friends raved about it. It was a great experience. I loved being around people who just wanted to have a good time! I did have to pay ten dollars to get in (I got there after 10) but I can honestly say it was worth it. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in Oakland!“
“We can't say enough great things about this hidden gem in Riverside. First, take the tour. You'll learn the history of making Whiskey and Bourbon, Riverside history, and American history. Next, the tour provides you with a base of 8 spirits to try and learn all about. You'll be surprised at what you thought you didn't like but instead, just hadn't had a really great version of that spirit before. Finally, try a cocktail or two. The bartender is knowledgeable and funny and the drinks are out of thus world. You'll want to bring a little bit of everything home with you. Note...if you're not taking the tour, make a reservation! No matter what, GO!“
“Hey what's up guys thank you for checking out my new review so let's get right into it my team and I were lucky for a while to chill have a few laughs talk s*** you know the regular the first place we went to close early so remember in Chatham call City Life restaurant lounge understand it's been years since I've been here but the last time I went I had a great time now with my team and I got there it must have been a birthday party and the older hostess didn't even acknowledge my team and I she looked at us as if we we're foreign or from another planet it took almost 45 minutes for her to even acknowledge that we were in need of service I was going to buy the first round of drinks for my team I almost left and then we'll be right knowledge her attitude really wasn't pleasant I get that one all the servers were working online register and I work in this industry of training bartenders and I've been on the other side as the server before so I will more than understanding that's why I didn't leave so another lady came in to assist us she got everyones order right except mine the lady apologize I still tipped her I believe in tipping for good service the thing I really noticed was her attitude was very Pleasant being a third server came in and she was phenomenal towards me and my team for the rest of the night I can't really give a review on the food we didn't have any food over there but the atmosphere and the service was good I give it a 4.5 like I said the only thing I didn't like is the first service attitude that really could have pushed me away if I didn't understand the business which was still no excuse for the way that she went about handling my team and I but no harm no fowl I still enjoy the rest of the night I would definitely be back hopefully they have the second register I'll be running so people can be attended to quickly and smoothly“
“We recently catered food for a large party we hosted from Xando. Nothing but good things to say! We ordered the Greek salad, Greek potatoes, chicken Slouvaki, and vegetables. The food was packaged nicely in trays and large bags to ensure it would travel ok in the car. It was still hot when we served it and our guests raved about it. Will definitely order from Xando again in the future.“
“Food was so flavorful. Jerk chicken tasted authentic and the cornbread muffin were so soft that they melted in your mouth. Ambience was perfect, good music and nice atmosphere. Service was great as well. Great spot to have in the neighborhood.The only thing I didn’t like was that they rushed us out because they had another reservation. We didn’t get our full 90 minute seating.“
“Solid family run neighborhood seafood restaurant! Try their Piña Rellena or their Molcajete "Estilo Wero" for sure! Whoever that guy is knows how to eat! ?Parking: The bank shares parking with the restaurant after certain hours - call to inquire!Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid friendly meals if they don't want seafood!“
“Very cool.. drinks were excellent, so were the nachos!! Service was very good, especially since the girl was handling the bar and the tables with a lot of patience and ease. The reason for not giving 5 stars... prices were slightly more than what was on board and menu. Make sure you pay attention to tip, it's automatically added for 4 or more. Will be back.“
“Stopped in with a few friends for lunch. Didn’t know what to expect. It has a good ‘bar’ atmosphere, not fancy, not grubby, either. Service was SPECTACULAR, food was DELICIOUS! Hush Puppy Elotes, so, so good and it was .50 wings in multiple, delicious flavors. It’s not too pricey, either. For the service and food, it’s a steal!“
“Best chill place in town any given night of the week! With an ample drink menu, this bar offers something for everybody not to mention they have slot machines and pooltables. Please try it out oh and Mandy, the bartender, is legitimately the best bartender ever; she's super engaging and attentive to her clientele. Please check out this place, it's awesome!“
“Cookies cocktails remind me of the old school bars that were always friendly and warm and inviting and you can have your drink and laugh and just have a good time and that's what I experience when I was there this business been around for over 30 years and it's one that I would recommend to anybody that doesn't want to go to a big super loud bar you want something small and comfy cozy and personal cookies cocktails is that place for you!DES“
“I had an amazing time. It's a small spot but it's clean which is very important for me, the bathrooms were very clean and much appreciated! Love the owner. She was a pleasure to engage with. The vibes were good. Good DJ and music. Drinks were on point. Can't wait to visit again. Much love for a small black owned business doing things well!“
“Swung to Chicago for my people's bday. Looked for a bar with a vibe since I was a day early. I loved the vibe, Music, and bartenders! The people here showed more love to me than when I went to the red neck bar by my hotel. The drinks was on point! Love it, will definitely swing by again when I come back to Chicago!“
“Cozy little dive bar for old heads & OGs. If you are lookin for a poppin spot this aint it, but the vibes are there & the staff is pleasant. I would come here for drinks & nothing else. No tvs, hookahs etc but there is a small patio where you can smoke out back. You've been warned!“

“I was here for a social event. The place was neat and tidy on the inside. The way the bar tenders were dressed suggested that they cater to a different sort of crowd. I got night club vibe from the place.It is an intimate setting. This place is small on the inside.“
“Phenomenal...been there a few times and never disappointed. The food was amazing and the presentation of the plates were perfect.....the atmosphere was classy..and the service was impeccable. I was so impressed I went back there 2 weeks after...“
