Stopped in for a sangria and a dessert. The sangria was really nice, and Genaro was so friendly. He made sure we were comfortable and checked on us just the right amount. A very relaxing way to end the evening.

Rafael really knows his stuff. I&rsquo;ve been coming here for years, and he always remembers what I like. The service is solid, no fuss.

A solid spot for a beer before the game. The space itself is really comfortable, good for just hanging out.

Jimmy and Steve at the bar are solid. Asked for a quick bite suggestion, got a great burger rec and a beer that hit the spot. Fast service, didn&#39;t have to wait long at all. Perfect for a lunch break.

Love the affordable drink specials here. The $3 beers are a nice treat, and it&#39;s great to find a spot that doesn&#39;t overcharge.

The lemon butter pasta was fantastic. Perfectly cooked noodles, and the sauce had a nice balance of tart and creamy. The music was a good mix of chill and upbeat, made for a really pleasant dinner.

$8 burger special was solid. Cheddar bacon patty had good flavor, decent size. Retro vibe is nice too.

The mocktails and cocktails are expertly crafted, and the truffle fries are absolutely delicious.

Restaurant in The Gwen, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Michigan Avenue Chicago

I love this place. As a Chciago transplant, I stumbled across this place in my hunt for coolest bars.  It ranks. High up there. It&rsquo;s fun, quirky, and in Chinatown. What more could you ask for? It&rsquo;s set behind a takeout restaurant, so if you miss the sign you&rsquo;d never know it was there. The staff at the door is always kind and welcoming and they set a great overall impression for how your night will go.  Inside is dark, decorative and fun, with tables along the wall and stools at the bar. The space isn&rsquo;t huge, so if you want a table make sure to get there early. It&rsquo;s always been relatively crowded when I&rsquo;ve been there, and I like to be early :) They do a great happy hour, and have some awesome menu items. I&rsquo;m such a fan of their cold noodles and if you can add chicken, do so.  it&rsquo;s crispy and delicious. Haven&rsquo;t had a drink I didn&rsquo;t like, and same goes for all my friends. They do a great happyHour, the vibe is always super chill and it&rsquo;s a cool bar that will become a staple. If you&rsquo;re visiting, be sure to put this one on your list. Visit Chinatown, and then hang out with some cool people and a great atmosphere

No. 10 of Bars in Chicago

Been coming here for years. The salads are always fresh, the sandwiches are great. It&#39;s that consistent, thoughtful prep that keeps me coming back to a pub. You just know what you&#39;re getting.

Always packed for the game, which says something. Their corned beef is the real standout &ndash; best I&#39;ve had. Paired it with a dark stout from the tap, and it just worked. Friendly staff, even when they&#39;re slammed.

Love the beer selection here! They have a ton of local and regional craft options, both on tap and in cans. I found a few new-to-me breweries from the Chicago area. Perfect spot to try something different.

Love this neighborhood spot! The owners are super friendly, and the vibe is so welcoming. Came on a Latin night and the energy was just right for unwinding after a long day.

Kennedy was a great server, very attentive. The wine list had some nice options to pair with the meal.

Solid brewery. The tequila espresso martini was a standout. Burger and patty melt were great, thick fries with aioli were good too. Nice patio for a drink.

If you are traveling through Chicago with Polaris access, this lounge is worth spending 15 mins or 5 hours. Excellent, fresh buffet options, full and well-staffed bar, and ample comfortable seating. Showers and business rooms are also available. For those who prefer, there is a dining room with table service and a few cooked-to-order menu options. (Didn&rsquo;t try as we were very happy with the breakfast buffet, and then again with the lunch buffet!)

The building itself is the main draw. They&#39;ve kept the original radiators and woodwork, which is a nice touch. Took the owner&#39;s tour during the open house&mdash;informative and straightforward. A solid spot for a business lunch downtown.

Got a table by the river for our group hangout. The Chicago dog combo was a hit, and the beers were perfect for the vibe.

The atmosphere here is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a casual date or to watch sports. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience.

Been coming here for years, and the back patio is still my go-to spot. It&#39;s just a chill place to unwind after work. They&#39;ve kept it nice and shaded, feels like a little escape.

Bartenders really know their stuff. Had a great chat about gin, got a custom cocktail that was spot on. Passion for the craft is obvious.

Great spot for a quick lunch. Got the shrimp po&#39;boy, solid. Order online and it&#39;s ready when you get there. Saves a ton of time during the busy lunch rush at the French Market.

Nice spot, good tunes. Adam and the crew are super welcoming, makes you feel at home. The vibe is definitely the main draw here.

Been here a few times for live music. The popcorn shrimp basket is solid, and the fries have good seasoning. It&#39;s a clean spot, service is friendly. Parking lot gets pretty full though.

Came for a group dinner with 14 people. I was really watching the bill. The staff got all our main courses out together and hot, which was a relief. For a place this busy, that&#39;s a win. The total per person ended up being very reasonable for the portion sizes we got. No complaints on the value.
