“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Atmosphere, room, employees, food, decor, building, yes!! It was delicious. We went today with a bigger group following my grandmothers wake/ funeral for the luncheon. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Went there today for the first, but definitely not last time. The food was extraordinary.“

“Just discovered a new cocktail bar in the Logan Square/Avondale area. It’s cozy, rustic, and has super welcoming vibe. The cocktails are unique and creative; great quality without the crazy price tag. I heard they have DJs on weekends too.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the famous tamales from Claudio, the Tamale Guy. 6 pieces for $12 is a steal.“

“The interactive coin op playground of the Chciago arcade / bar scene. Priced for a cash night out- cc welcome and there is an atm. Street parking is easy but ya know how that is- taking CTA or Rideshare to Logan Square is simple. Order bites and shareable from Fry Like An Eagle next door and they deliver! Say hey to Dr. Z and be kind to the staff they are great humans there to make sure you have fun!“

“Great rooms and very friendly staff. They did a great job at helping us understand how the rooms worked and how we can pick the different songs of our choice. Bartenders are very kind and helpful. I would recommend this spot if you are on the search of something to do with friends“

“What a wonderful place! Great location with plenty of parking. The hospitality and service was 5 star. The food and specialty cocktails were excellent. We had a 1972 class reunion there today. Mike Moreno is one of our classmates. He and his family treated us like royalty. I wish I lived closer because it’s a beautiful place.“

“I've been here twice and both times, phenomenal. The dry aged ribeye and burger are delicious, and the constantly changing menu always has something new to discover. Sit at the open kitchen and watch the fire magic happen! Yes, the music is loud, but it's a vibe for sure. The bar might be limited in size, but that doesn't stop them from making a great cocktail. Great old fashioned and a legit whiskey sour, I was very impressed.“

“Fabulous addition to the neighborhood! A great spot to have a glass solo, meet up with friends, take a class, or bring a bottle home. They were super accommodating when I brought in a group of girlfriends, seating us at the back table with very attentive service. Very reasonable prices, too.“

“Thank you for hosting Open Mic night. Wonderful experience. We’ll be back.“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“This is one of my favorite bars in the city. I love that it's nearby my neighborhood, it's a lovely addition to the area. The food is delicious, I recommend the dill pickle pasta salad and the burger. The cocktail menu changes seasonally I think, so there's always something new to try. Cocktails are always nicely balanced and tasty. The staff is so friendly and I love the atmosphere. Busy on the weekends but weeknights are a bit quieter. Visit immediately.“

“Such an easy place to fall in love with as I have. Perfect vibes and the sweetest bartenders on the planet, drink menu's always rotating with interesting and delightful flavor combinations. Hosted a birthday party here and staff were so helpful and kind throughout the night. This place has my heart forever, long live Consignment Lounge“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“We had a memorial lunch at the Jolly Inn this past Friday and it was beyond amazing. Couldn't have asked for more. Maria the server was absolutely delightful and so professional. She made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in the group raved about how great she was. Thank You so much Maria. The food was fabulous. No one went away hungry for sure. So much variety and everything was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The little room we were in was just perfect for our size group and the ambiance was wonderful. We felt like we were special and it made a day of mourning for us a little easier. Thank You so much for all you did to make the luncheon something that people didn't want to leave.“

“Food gets 5 stars for presentation, for sure. Unfortunately, the actual food had very mid flavor. Salsa was served with everything so you're likely expected to derive flavor from that. The only challenge there is that it was all hot.
5 star service and atmosphere!
Reasonable prices with ample offerings.“

“Absolutely incredible! From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked fresh and packed with flavor. The burrito was stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh pico de gallo, beans, rice, and all the right toppings—every bite was delicious. The chips were warm, crispy, and paired perfectly with the creamy queso, fresh salsa, and homemade guacamole. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients.

And the margarita? Easily one of the best I’ve had! Perfectly chilled, refreshing, with just the right balance of citrus and tequila—not too sweet and incredibly smooth. It was the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, amazing drinks, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food and an outstanding margarita, this place is definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

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

“This place was the 💣! They have bottomless taco Tuesdays with a margarita flight 🍹. Our server, Jay, along with the rest of the staff, were so kind and attentive. As you can see from the photo, they give the birthday person a sash and hat. The energy was through the roof. I will definitely be back again 🌮“

“Awesome retro bowling ally with awesome drinks and great staff.“

“BEST Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had in a longgg time! Always love their mahi mahi tacos and Italian beef egg rolls too.“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“Great spot for live music.“

“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!“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“I came across Archies a few years back while out walking my dog.

Stopped out front to tie my shoe, my dog decided she'd walk in without me which is how I found out the bars dog friendly.

The staff is great, prices aren't bad. Its your typical small neighborhood bar which i why I love it.

Cheese balls too!“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“Paddy's truly offers the best bar food around, and the atmosphere is second to none. A big shoutout to Jen, Amy, and Amy Lynn, whose friendly service always makes you feel right at home and appreciated!“

“Played there last night. Beautiful bar, good prices and the bartender and sound guy were fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Quite a bit more subdued than its reputation suggests on a rainy weekday evening. It's a comfortable room with a decent hum of conversation, not the packed cacophony I'd braced for. The drinks were good, though perhaps not worth the hype.“

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

“the wings were so good absolutely delicious food and nice staff , good for hangouts and good beer“

“The Stop a Long did not disappoint. Amazing burgers and fun atmosphere. out server Jack was great. thank you for a great experience“

“Nomu is seriously one of those ramen spots you keep thinking about after you leave. 🍜🔥 The ramen is flavorful, comforting, and just hits the spot every single time. Definitely the kind of place where you finish your bowl already thinking about when you can come back. Can’t wait for my next visit! 😍“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“
