REVIEWS OF Blue Line Lounge & Grill IN Illinois

Merrick Nicholson

I honestly love their food and service, fantastic area next to my home. The cashiers are always very nice. Highly recommended.

Eff Em

Well... I'm always looking for a spot to go after work. Was on my way one place but ended up here instead. Food was very mediocre(wings & onion rings), I guess this is a place you go to drink. Cheapest

frank bobelly

No specials what's so ever I got charged full price for 3 samples of beer. That's bad for business

Crystal Valdez

Jolly Rancher martini with sugar rim is hands down the best martini there! Sweet like candy (will not work for those with a bitter palate) and will definitely creep up on you later. Had the guac, hummus and pico de gallo platter which was okay, the pico de gallo had some after taste to it that was not good, then had the chicken spring rolls and those were amazing.

mary hodur

The staff is awesome and the martinis they make are marvelous!!! It's a very warm, casual, comfortable place to grab a bite to eat, a good drink, have a great time and play a game if you'd like. Plus it is a very convenient location!

Mallory Schaus

Great for a martini and awesome staff. Pub food is hit or miss, but a great spot overall.

Wendy InMotion

Great martini specials! Tasty food, fun games and good service. I love this bar!

Johnny Johnson

Service & Atmosphere was Great! Had the Chicken wrap & it had a good kick to it! Will definitely come back.

John Wilkie

This dimly lighted lounge is a fantastic place to meet friends for cozy conversation and cocktails. They have pretty awesome winter cocktails that I would recommend trying out. They make a decent Old Fashioned too. We also got some mac and cheese medallions and I got the black bean burger. Both were delish, so this is a great place to get a bite to eat as well. I can totally see making a night of this place, but stop in at least once for a drink on your way back from work, since it's located right under the Damen Blue Line stop.

Douglas Dalrymple

Just a great local pub food place. Nice decor... Although I do wish they'd re-upholster the booths at some point.

Emily Belke

The Hot Stone California Flat with sweet potato fries and a pomegranate mimosa while on the patio made me a happy girl. I wish I lived closer to Wicker Park to come back and try out the Black Bean Burger! Patio can be a little loud, but it is called the Blue Line Lounge, so what do you expect?

Chris Roembke

A convenient place for a bite or a drink. Perfect for waiting out the rain after getting off the train, or snagging a drink while waiting for reservations elsewhere. They also make a pretty good meal themselves, for brunch or dinner, but drinks are definitely their strong suit. Go on Wednesday and try some of the more out-there Martinis for half price (or do what I do and order a traditional one with blue cheese olives).

Jibran Baber

Place looked great before the remodel, looks even better now! Staff is phenomenal, friendly, quick. Great drink specials. Have only had a few food items, but everything has been solid bar food. Lots of TVs for sports and super convenient location. Love this place!

Bill Wojtas

Really awesome Chicken pot pie! Decent drinks and a fun atmosphere. Ill go back for sure

Ted Van

I love the bucktown salad! Its a nice place to stop and get a bite to eat. They had the booths redone too.

Rits M

This is rather a well kept secret, even though its in a pretty public spot. I went there to try the brunch. Unfortunately, I had a slight hangover so the music and the guy yelling at the football on the screen didnt go over well with me. This place is a bar. I dont know why they do a brunch, but hey, its wicker park. They just being they hipster selves. Brunch is what I went for, they lured me in with their 3$ mimosa and bloody mary advert. I had the eggs and sausage which were pretty good, nothing spectacular. The mimosa was the shining star, and I will definitely be going back for that, as well as the stuffed waffle. Oh and dont have the grits. They were like a weird tasteless porridge. The blonde waitress was pretty good and helpful, but the grits were recommended by the brunette who was international. Not listening to her again.

Damian Lamont

Love this place. Gets really loud at times. So not the place for intimate dates. Good is always good.

Benjamin Rezko

Had the most lovely bartender. Definitely coming back!

patrick miller

Dare I say... magical?

Dawn Blair

Excellent food and service

Michael Damato

Place looks great after it's remodeling, convenient location and pretty good food that's reasonably priced

Denise Giszczynski

The bartender was attentive and knowledgeable regarding drinks offered at the bar. I was also presented with a food menu.

allama cookie

Passion fruit margarita was Awesome!

Matt Mertens

Great atmosphere and staff, never had a bad visit here. The upgrade did a great job cleaning it up without losing anything.

Tony Stark

Very nice Lounge good drinks and food pleasant staff.

Rory Gilchrist

Enjoyable decor (though bits of our booth were ripped with stuffing coming out), great location. Food is in small portions and overpriced. I went on Wednesday when they have $6 margaritas. The fruitier ones were very nice, but the dirty martini named after the restaurant was very salty in an attempt to cover up the fact that it had no flavor. If you're gonna name a drink after the establishment, at least make it a tasty one...

Hilda Berrios

Fun place to go with friends.

Rachael Parquette

The renovations are great and the martinis are fabulous! It's a great girls night out!

Amanda Maldonado

Always have well made cocktails and appetizers. They have a nice martini selection that I like to explore. The spinach artichoke dip is a go to of mine, and their mini burgers and sweet potato fries are on point.

G V

They're re-done their booths/decor. Menu has slightly improved. Good for happy hour.

Christian Martinez

I went for the first time and the bartenders were so cool and friendly. They definitely gained my loyalty. I will keep coming back to say hi.

DANNA Wiersma

This atmosphere here completely saved our night, and was The highlight of our trip to Chicago!!!! We met the Owner, who is from the neighborhood. The Owner passionately operates his business with a love for his neighborhood. There are classic board games, and This Chicago gem is literally located just steps outside The entance to The blue line at Damen Station, The bartenders/servers are friendly, inviting, and treated us like old friends. The drinks were perfect, and the food smelled amazing (wish I hadn't eaten before I got there) ... And the prices were reasonable! .... Don't miss this place ... Worth it

Kelly Green

Great service! Went here for chill NYE!

Theresa Baughman

I really like the vibe and my sangria was good

Karen Kerr

Solid, chill bar with a good food menu and some tasty cocktails. Staff are always super helpful!

Stephanie V

A neighborhood gem. Their cocktails are good and affordable for the neighborhood. The christmas decor was fantastic too!

Labor Days

Decent drinks and food. Martinis are pretty great here and Kiki the bartender is really sharp. Seating could be a better and the wait staff is a bit lacking.

Icen Arsin

I don't know why I like this place, but I do!

Justin Adamcyk

I really liked this place...It's more of a converted diner than a full on restaurant but definitely encompasses the Wicker Park vibe. Wednesday night specials have 5 dollar martinis and great chill vibe! It's right under the EL stop so easily accessible for friends flying in from O'Hare. A+++

Zach Raizen

I have been here for dinner and brunch. The brunch is excellent, the items are somewhat unique and very delicious, and the service and atmosphere is very good as well. I was much less impressed with the dinner options and quality of the food. It was not bad, but not nearly as praiseworthy.

Jessica Spencer

Laid back "lounge" type bar. Friendly people and relaxed environment. They show certain popular tv shows such as Walking Dead and Mad Men. Good food and drinks too.

Jake Comito

Exactly what I wanted in a lounge & grill - it was cozy, yummy and had great beer options!

Shawzys Flow

One of my favorite places in the city. Its an old, dirty bar with a great location, and some of the best service in town. Stop by next time you are going to O'hare & have a few minutes to spare. (get the tacos & a martini)

Anthony Kingsley

Favorite place for an after work drink. They have games and TVs. Was recently redone so very clean and they have a fireplace. Decent bar food. The pork tacos are delicious!

Jessica Lynn

Love this space one of my favorite places to grab a cocktail with friends. However the drinks used to taste a bit better & have a better presentation hence the 4 stars. The booths really need to be redone with all the rips as well.

Matt McFarland

This was a place that I'd been wanting to try for a long time, but never got the chance to because I primarily drive in Chicago. However, we went here for a stop on my buddy's 21st birthday "bar tour" and this place had a GREAT Manhattan!! Their sliders are also very good. The prices for being in the heart of Wicker Park are impressively low. I also like how "ugly cute" it is inside.

Christy G

Great drink specials! Great service. Very nice atmosphere. And super tasty martinis! Good food too. I love this place and would definitely recommend.

Tom Sweary

Convenient location must off the el. Great burgers too.

Lolli-Pop69

Great food and atmosphere !!!

Keaton Post

The blackened chicken sandwich was outstanding. Very inexpensive and good food. Our waitress was also extremely sweet and attentive. Would love to come again.

Ric Morgan

Reupholstered & redecorated. Same classic martinis and board games.

Athena Monroe

Val was an amazing server. I will definitely be going back again. It was my first time there and she was awesome.

Nikesh Amin

I met friends at this place and was pretty displeased with it. The actual space looks fairly nice and there are TVs scattered around so you can watch a game or whatever else is on. Past that, the place sucks for the very reason you would go: to eat and drink. If you find yourself here, stick to beer. The mixed drinks are weak even if they are reasonably priced. The food is an abomination. My burger, ordered medium, came out burnt beyond well done. Also, the beef was supposed to be a special brand and dry aged for 21 days but it was probably a frozen patty. My friends were similarly displeased with their turkey burgers. The garlic fries, and which cost $4 foe a small bowel, didn't have a hint of garlic. I recommend passing on this place and I will never be back.

Mike Bennett

Great retro bar with excellent service.

dwight brown

A very relaxed and chill spot. Centrally located by all of my favorite spots and to the El.

Lauren Crabtree

Hip and cool, easy to relax with friends over drinks and food. Steps away from bustling 6 corners.

Ravi Sivanandham

Nice, casual atmosphere. Always enjoy stopping by after work.

Richard Cleaver

Good place for a beverage! We had just eaten so definitely weren't hungry so couldn't eat! Staff were friendly and there was a good vibe in the place! Would love to visit again and try the food if we are ever in Chicago again

Vash Crowley

I went here for dinner before going across the street for a concert. We didn't have a lot of time before the show and I was worried that we would be late going to a sit-down place rather than a quick stop for fast food. I mentioned to the waitress that we were going to a show across the street and surprisingly, she made sure that we got our orders in and received in a reasonable amount of time so we weren't late. The food was decent too. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was done exactly how I wanted it. I'd definitely eat here again and recommend it to friends.

Antonio Macaraeg

I always walk by whenever I go to Big Star across the street, and one day I finally decided to stop in and have a meal. I loved it! I went on a Thursday night which was perfect because they weren't too busy and the staff were able to accommodate well. I love their decor especially with what they've done for the holidays (2018)! Overall I like the lounge vibe that they have compared to others that I've been to. It's not too busy and you can actually relax and focus on your drink and small bubble without the crowd being overwhelming. Thanks!

Zareena Meyn

Blue Line Lounge is an underrated neighborhood classic! The wait staff are all angels, I love the martinis. I only wish it would open for brunch on weekends again!!!

Sarah Horn

Love the atmosphere and martinis

Samantha Picchietti

Great place, good food.....very loud

Jeannette Marie

Lovely atmosphere and love the train car style. Wait staff was very attentive and the food was phenomenal. Drinks were strong and 2 were enough for me. I had the meatloaf which was awesome and the boyfriend had the pot pie which was huge! Definately will be back!

Clayton Dessa

Million dollar spaghetti was awesome!

Jack Alvarez

A bit over priced for the food. But drinks were cheap. Went on Wednesday night.

Benjamin Urban

Good place to go when everything else in the area has a line. Destination in and of itself in the winter.

Jasmin Vargas

Great Martinis and Food

Tomas Lopez-Betanzos

Conveniently next to it's eponymous train line. Decent snacks are available later into the evening. Beverages are reasonably priced for the area. With street level windows to the bustling crotch intersection of North Damen and Milwaukee, there's always something to entertain, even if your date is boring. Accepts credit cards.

Jesus Delgado

Nice people all the time

William Dean

Really good drinks here. Gotta go play the board games.

Lauren Paul

Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Michael Brian

This diner themed cocktail bar is located under the CTA Damen Blue Line stop. I stopped in on a Saturday by after a night out to grab a quick martini or two before going grabbing the train to head home. This bar has a nice martini menu with various flavors from pomegranate to jolly rancher. The martinis are 9 dollars each. This night I ordered a pomegranate martini that was made really well, so that I couldn't taste the alcohol at all. It tasted like a fruit drink, yet at the same time knowing how strong the cocktail was. The service was very attentive and helpful, the bartender took my drink order after a minute or two. What I like about this establishment, there is a small outdoor seating section if you choose to eat and drink with a view of the street. The bar has a very modern 40's type atmosphere that is great for either date night of hanging out with friends. One thing that is holding the bar back at bit are the awful booths in the front section that need to be to reupholstered. That is only negative.

Tarun Chawla

I like Blue Line as a place where it's not too hard to get a table, the food is pretty decent, and the drinks are just fine as well. I wouldn't say there are any particular things that stand out here for me, but if you want to grab a decent and quick dinner around six corners before going out around that area, this is a solid choice.

Jack Ryan

Waited an hour on a slow Tuesday evening for mediocre wings and corn fritters that weren't actually corn fritters. To make matters worse, the aging doorman stared at my wife and I nearly the entire time we were there, which was awkward to say the least. We were the only Black people in the establishment, so maybe that's why? Too awkward and average to return. Thanks anyway.

Tariq Abujabir

This bar IS Chicago. Come start out here or end up here. Either way it's a win!! Music is on point and the drinks are superb.

Samuel Texcahua

The comfiest seating and home of the $1 mystery jello shots! The mozzarella hush puppies are to die for, their selection of Moscow mules and specialty drinks won't disappoint (the key lime pie martini doesn't lie) and a trendy train cart themed atmosphere.

Andie Siegfried

The drinks were good but the bartender didn’t know anything about the menu or the specialty shot. She asked someone else what the specialty shot was, we found out it was infused whisky but when i asked what it was infused with she just said Im not sure and walked away.

Joseph Minalt

Great list of cocktails and beers as well as awesome cocktail specials almost every day. The food is fantastic as well! Try the flatbreads and the fried Mac and cheese appetizer.

Adam Bolt

Get the dirty martini.

erin green

Love their Wednesday night martini deal, a great old time vibe in a hip neighborhood. Small plates great for sharing along with full entrees.

Vanessa Gray

Wanna watch the walking dead? Perfect place! Wanna catch up with your friends? Find somewhere else. Mojitos are pretty good, food is decent.

Jean-Paul Cruz-Walker

One of my fav late night spots. Great martinis and specialty cocktails.

Zlata Obradovic

Pbj martini is the BEST. Amazing food and service!

Crystal Ramiro

The place had a nice vibe to it... our server was a bit in la la land but the bartender was Great!.. and the cocktails?... delicious

Silas Tockey

One of my favorite chill places to get a drink when I'm in Chicago

Aaron Catanese

Great place for a cocktail especially on the days where they have $6 mojitos or martinis. Very good food as well!

tony dore

Nice place for groups. They take reservations

Maria Munoz

Been here since I don't know when, at least 5 years. Always great service. Good and martinis, specially on wednesdays for their specials on them. Keep up the good work guys!

Mark Ritter

Awesome reasonable priced martini's, and an excellent attentive staff. Definitely a cool place to start the night.

Kimberly Bond

what a great little find. great food and friendly staff. great atmosphere

Alex Ciba

Food was slightly overpriced for what was served. Doesn't seem like the restaurant can decide on a theme, played music from 50s to 90s. The mozzerella stuffed corn fritters aren't really corn fritters, they're more cheese balls. Good selection of alcohol and beer.

Aline Souza

I love this bar! I specially like their menu of margaritas and mojitos! They always have specials and staff is super friendly. Perfect place for drinks all seasons.

Kitty G

One of our favorites in the neighborhood. Tasty martinis on special several happy hours each week (we like the Conductor, the lemon drop, and the Metrosexual); a good menu with above-average bar food options; lotta table spaces and bar stools; games; TV's showing old rat pack movies or Cary Grant-style black and whites and the home team games; attractive vintage decor; and friendly service.

Daniel Wagner

Blue line has a great martini menu and a full bar if you'd rather order your own drink. It seems to be a place people start their night off with and then move on. The place was packed at around 10 but then it all but cleared out by 11:30. They have a bunch of board games you can use and not to mention $1 Jell-O shots!

Miguel Angel

The place takes you back a few decades with the music from Frank Sinatra. The décor also was made around the same time since some of the upholstery is tearing apart. The service was great and fast. The skillets were OK and coffee as well.

Janis hall

Blackened fish sandwich.. best sandwich I ever had! Also really great martinis :)

Lauren Krause

Great good and decor. Quick service and excellent drinks.

Michael Smerda

Clean and nice location. Service didn't give us a lot of attention. We had only drinks there.

Frank Perna

It's worth going for their martini selections on Wednesdays when they're at the criminal price of $6!!! I loved their PB&J, Espresso, and Key Lime Pie ones along with some of the other eclectic choices. The fish tacos I had weren't that bad either. Of course, it's a convenient location for those who take the blue line.

Dexter Raines

Beautiful atmosphere, happy hour on Thursdays, drink specials..

ANGELICA MARIA GARCIA SANTANA

I didn't eat here,but the atmosphere was very nice.

Nayda Acevedo

Nice chill spot but check your glass of water to make sure nothing is floating around like what happened to me and make sure your utensils are clean. Mine and my girlfriend wasn't.

Vince Terrazas

Awesome food and cocktails. Have daily specials like $6 martinis on Wednesday and Thursday Mojitos. Go and see Jordan the servers she is awesome.

Junu Phillips

Hidden secret/sleeper pick for food, drinks and atmosphere in Wicker Park. classic movies on the flat screens, great patrons, excellent staff. Food is really good, huge selection. Just loud when you are outside (blue line, naturally)

Marjulia Freeney

Worst service of my life. After racking up a $100+ bill, and proceeding to order more drinks, the waitress,a white woman, approaches our table and asks "Was there a problem, because you didn't tip on the receipt." I'm beyond offended. We paid for our order and ordered more ,but, before I could tip, in cash, the waitress comes to our table with this IGNORANT DISRESPECTFUL approach. After my facial expressions show my irritation and frustration, I ask for the manager. The manager , a white man, proceeds to tell me this isn't the first time he experienced this problem with his employee, but if it were to happen again, she would be terminated. The drinks we ordered came 20 minutes later, and the waitress said the drinks were on the house, but I told her I refused to have them comped, I wanted to pay for the drinks and I did. The disrespect I experienced was unbelievable. I will never go to this establishment again.

Vanessa Vargas

Best martinis

Nancy Acosta

a super cute and comfortable place to go for a drink. the staff is super helpful and kind. definitely going back!

Margaret Doubek

The restaurant looked amazing. The French dip was ok, but the tater tots where awesome!

Dawn Graunke

Great meeting place. Board games, some small TVS, and a really cute party room.

Kevin Krupchak

Best martini in Chicago.

John Realini

Great place to go with a local crowd. No lines to get in and free of the typical late night drunks

Sean Harris

Only been for drinks. Solid martini and pbj martini is def worth a try. Weds has martini specials

timothy baird

Airplane chicken rocks!

Stephanie Field

Great martinis and wonderful service

Jacob Publicover

The food here is outstanding. Brunch offers some chicken and waffles that are out of this world. Their specialty hashbrowns have pulled pork mixed in, simple incredible.

Marianne Kallemeyn

Great variety of food, friendly staff, and big TV's. Great seating and variety on drinks! Definitely coming back!

Rebeca Tovar

Went in for dinner and it was a great! We were seated immediately. We went in around 6pm on a Thursday. I had a salad that was wayyyyyy to spicy, I believe it was the buffalo chicken salad. I thought it would only be mildly spicy because that’s what I think when I hear buffalo chicken but nevertheless it was super spicy! And that’s speaking a lot since I am Mexican. I ordered a raspberry mojito which was really good. Our waitress was really attentive and nice. The only downside is sitting outside and having the train pass above you like ten trillion times. Other than that it was a great evening.

Andrew Pouch

Chill, cozy, dope deco, good prices, definitely should check it out.

David Allen

Love the BL. A friendly neighborhood bar, themed on a luxury train carraige, and right next to the Daman Blue Line CTA station. Staff are friendly as are the patrons. No tap beer, only bottles. This place is famous for it's martinis. Wednesday nights gets busy due to its long running martini special night with $6 martinis. Food is a combination of standard bar food and a few other items and occasional specials. The bar food is great, as are things like the pot pie, but avoid anything that sounds fancy or unusual. One of the best bars in Wicker Park.

James Bernath

Let me start by saying that I like this place for drinks; however, the past 2 experiences have resulted in awful service. 45min wait from order placed to served in a 50% full restaurant, unapologetic, and accusatory in tone. This is the same server that I had on another occasion that provided poor service. 3 of the people I was with said that they'll never return. If this was a onetime experience, I'd let it slide. Unfortunately, I think the only solution would be to retrain or fire this server to prevent this from occurring to other customers. If I'm contacted by management, I'd be happy to identify the server.

Johnathan Dillon

Excellent service and atmosphere

John Lewis III

I never hanse any complaints when I come. Service is great. And they have some menu choices.

Michael Lindsey

$6 All Martinis on Wednesday, $6 Mojito's Thursday! Awesome bar food!

Wendy Thomas

Great Atmosphere!!!! I sat at the bar. I ordered a Jolly Rancher! Oh My!!! It was delicious! As a meal, I ordered a cheese burger with tator tots!!! My food came out delicious and piping hot! My only concern is the fact that there is a somewhat nice sized restroom that architecturally could hold 2 stalls. Instead, there's just 1. When I left out, there was a line. All and all, great place in the community. Plus, great location (right off the Damen CTA station).

Ryan Thompson

Love the newly remodeled lounge! The food is still fantastic, the service is well above standard, and I hate that I don't come here more often. An absolute must visit Chicago destination!

Marc Castillo

I was visiting home because now I live in California but I was back in my area and found this spot underneath the blue line! You have to check this place out for the awesome drinks which they have a variety of and the food as well! Next time I am in town I will definitely be stopping by this spot as should you!!!!!

Tom Posz

Lobster roll rocked! Glad we grabbed grub here!

Rotor W

In this neighborhood the place is a good value. A Library of board games for your pleasure. Booths and high-tops available. Food is good. The drinks we had were a value. Good atmosphere.

Tess Farris

Went on $6 martini Wednesday with some friends....and er my gerd....loved every drink I drank. Didn't really eat much but sure had a glorious time. Will be returning.

Anastasiya Karpchuk

Cozy place with great Christmas decor!✨

Shaira Manning

Me and my family enjoyed the food and wonderful music selection. Will be returning

Georgia Moore

Awesome tunes and great happy hour

Nick Bonafede

Best food I have had in a while. They have a long list of Martini specials that all look and taste like heaven in a glass!! Do not pass this place up if you are thinking about stopping in and eating here, you will not be disappointed.

Mark West

Very much a diner feel but with a unique vibe. Service is always very good with a traditional American menu.

Osama Saleh

The Cocktails are Really good. Liked the atmosphere! Nice sitting Booths.

Tyler Weber

Does Allison still work the bar? She is the best bartender in Chicago, hands down! She always remember our group always offers a jello Shot in her. It’s little, but it just makes the difference.

Christopher Bridenstine

Cool diner themed upscale bar with good nightly specials and a fun atmosphere. Meet up with family and friends for drinks and snacks late at night and was surprised to find $5 martini specials on Wednesdays. Good food, good drinks, good prices. The wait-staff was a little slow getting us our check, but would definitely check this place out again on a different night.

Leslie Bell

Going there for the brunch on a Football Sunday is one of my fave Chicago experiences. They have mimosa and bloody Mary specials. Board games available to play if you're into that. Love the biscuits and gravy and the pancakes. Everyone is friendly and parking is usually OK around there on Sundays.

Mia

Went to this lounge for martini night and had an amazing time. The bar tender was very attentive and nice, and the martinis were made so well. Will return again

samantha volker

If you like to support local establishments where the owner is a drunk narcissist who thinks its okay to grab fries off your plate and eat them while your food is in the kitchen window instead of serving it to you, then this is the perfect place for you! But remember dont be mad when this actually happens or confront him about it unless you want to be kicked out and have a bunch of belligerent comments made towards you and your friends as he orders another round of shots for him and his loyal patrons. I will admit his staff was super nice and one of the girls who didn't even serve us followed my friends and I out and apologized for what he had done to us. I honestly feel bad for his staff - hopefully he treats them better than his customers but something tells me he's just an all around piece of ______! FYI - the owner literally told me to go write a review as he was kicking us out (hope he likes it)!

Eric H

Fantastic cocktails, great food for snacking and sharing, and a fantastic environment makes the Blue Line Lounge and Grill a wonderful place to stop in for a few drinks. The crowd tapers off as the night goes on, so come early if you want to hang with other patrons or come late if you want a quiet end to your night. Located directly underneath the Blue Line!

Samantha Gardner

This place seemed alright until they did last call around 1:10am but my group figured we had a little bit of time to finish our drinks until staff abrasively yelled at us to leave at 1:20am also one of the bus boys was cursing at us to himself in Spanish. Only two stars because our waitress was awesome and a total sweetheart and for the 1 dollar Jell-O shots.

Adriel Melo

Looks phenomenal after the renovations. It has an old school lounge look to it and is decently priced on food and drinks. Food is nothing special, but they have a variety of options with a good cocktail selection. It is never too crowded but has just enough to provide good atmosphere. It is a nice change if pace from the rest of the Wicker Park bars. I didn't give it 5 stars because it doesn't do anything outstanding itself except not be crowded and have a nice interior with decently friendly staff. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place but if you're in Wicker and looking for a slower pace bar then this is your spot.

Jodineugenius

Had fun here celebrating the holidays.

Brenda Desiderio

Food is good. Only bad thing was we waited forever to get our food when there wasn’t much people there.

Kara J. Andersen

Cozy. The mac + cheese tastes delicious. The nachos smell very good.

james sramek

Good cocktails, fair prices, good vibe

Ranma Saotome

Bars like this are common in Chicago and Wicker Park in particular. Obviously it is convenient to the blue line. There are average price beers and cocktails that are all good. The food we got was an array of dips with a few toasted pita strips and tortilla chips. Not amazing, but not bad by any means. Chef Gordon Ramzi would probably rip them a new one for serving a dish that is obviously prepackaged spinach dip, hummus, and possibly prepackaged salsa. Meh, it tasted good with said chips except there was a lot more dip than there was stuff to put it on.

gina Brajkovich

Just went in for quick bite. The atmosphere was so comfortable!! The area in the back with the fireplace and nice couches was so cute and intimate!! It really feels like two places in one. VERY nice!! Just had drinks and wings, which was very good!! I loved the flavor of the wings but they weren't consistent, some were of average size while some were very small if it wasn't for this I would have given all of the stars

Xavier Martin

Martini Wednesdays is a must! Bellini Martini

Dominick DeLaurentis

Decent 20s look

Patrick MacLane

Cool spot, good prices!

Charles L. Newson

amazing drinks, beautiful atmosphere.

Jane Hanson

Service was a little slow overall very nice place to have a few cocktails and people watch.

Ryan Graham

Cool spot

parker wittke

Fun small Martini Bar! Right next to the Blue line so it can get a little noisy.
