“Had my birthday dinner 🍽 there. Great place. Milwaukee, WI“

“We had to wait for about an hour for a table but it was sooooo! worth it :) the Beaujolais that my friend got was phenomenal, I was jealous that I had opted for a martini.

We all got a burger which was 10/10, cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. we shared the boccarones which I highly recommend and the gnocchi which was good but perhaps not paired well with something as heavy as a burger — thought the flavors might be a bit lighter/brighter.

all in all a wonderful experience, the staff was funny and attentive, the music was good, the vibes were up. looking forward to returning.“

“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.“

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

“Hosted my boyfriend's 30th surprise birthday party here. I needed a venue with a private room for a murder mystery dinner and uptown tap really came through. I was able to get a last minute booking (1.5 weeks out) for such an affordable price! The contact was super responsive and I couldn't be more grateful.“

“Yummy food! Awesome service! Full bar! Such fun vibes! Definitely check it out!“

“Solemn Oath is a great little brewery. Cozy and full of great types of beer. I met some lovely dogs indoor..... Yep they allow dogs inside. I had a really awesome natural aged stout the was creamy with a chocolate aftertaste. There is a pool table inside. Would definitely come back!!“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

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

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

“My favorite brewery! Really friendly service, and delicious fresh cold brews from the refreshing Grapefruit Raddler, smooth layers, to darker, stronger and different beers for any taste.

The smattering of food is great from sharing a pizza with friends to noshing a soft pretzel on your own pizza (really though, big enough for a 4 person snack).

The outside area is bigger every year and a great place to meet people!

And Spiteful is a great neighbor. They are always supporting Bowmanville and the surrounding area.“

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

“The food is amazing and portions are on point. My favorite is the stewed chicken.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“I walked here from the place I was staying for the weekend ! Although I didn’t order food, I did order drinks and they were so good! The bartender Andrew was very nice and pleasant! The service was good! It was a bit rowdy crowd there bc of the basketball game but overall a good time and definitely would be back! Also, order the summer smash! So so good if you like fruity drinks!“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“always a great time nice beer garden“

“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.“

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

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

“Great atmosphere, very festive. The server was so nice and helpful with suggestions for our meal. She kept checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed.

The fried pickles with their dipping sauce were a fun surprise, really good.

Also, I enjoyed the Burrata pizza. Although it tastes great on it's own it could have used a balsamic glaze to sweeten it a bit. My friend opted for the Kimchi fries (slightly spicy) and the fruit pizza. It looked like a healthy summer salad, covered in feta and fruit, and was told it was pretty good.

Parking was a bit of a struggle. We found street parking behind the location in a residential street.

Great local spot to check out.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“In addition to fantastic live music and great folks, the food, drinks and ambience is wonderful“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“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.“

“Everything was great. Enjoyed my Brunch“

“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!“

“The service is excellent. They have good tap beer selections. But what ultimately keeps me going back almost weekly is that I get to meet lots of people when I sit at the bar. And that goes back to the service— they foster that atmosphere. We and when you go, ask about the burger of the month. Those are almost always excellent.“

“Nice atmosphere and good cocktails combination“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Very nice people, very knowledgeable of wine, they also serve wine by the glass and have tastings on Saturdays, we can’t wait to go back“

“Henry and his staff are amazing. The new outdoor seating is awesome. I love how the bar exceeds all the safety and sanitation protocols. I am grateful that we can order food from nearby restaurants delivered in a safe manner to the double. It’s truly a neighborhood bar !!!“

“We had a great time here on earth day. I was surprised to know that there was such a nice bar here within a jewel store. If I loved in the area this would certainly be an establishment that I would visit regularly. The staff was nice and they were conscientious of customers that might have frozen or food that needed to stay cold. I will definitely be back.“

“I’ve never been to Star Bar before but I had walked by many times and I am so glad I came in on the night of Alex was working! She was so great explaining the neighborhood to me as a new patron and took all of my drink preferences to mine to make me a cocktail of my choice it was very nice of her.“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“Amazing food and drinks. We watched the Cubs game!“

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