    I am glad I finally made it to see Beauty Bar with my daughter for her birthday party night. It was a busy Saturday night, so we waited outside in the line for about 15-20 minutes after 10 p.m. The crowd was young and moving to the 90s Dance party sounds. We were lucky enough to get seated in the front corner area for our party and remained close enough to dance to the great music. As expected in Chicago, we experienced lots of people in a small area, expensive drinks, and sticky floors. But it sure was fun! I don't know what I was expecting, but I was happy to find that the staff at the doors were super friendly and got our whole party (close to 20 of us) in the door pretty fast. I would like to return on a weeknight for a theme party and stay a little longer. Beauty Bar is definitely a fun place to go with a group.

    Beauty bar was so much fun!!! We came for Charli XCX night and had a blast. The theme inside is so cute and the drink menu is big. We both enjoyed our drinks and had fun dancing. The dance floor gets packed but everyone was making room for each other. I love all the theme nights here and highly recommend coming for a night out.

    Been going to this bar/club all summer! Beauty Bar is a pretty small-ish dancey bar with tons of themed nights which I love. Located a tad on the outskirts of the city, Beauty Bar has a great location away from the true hustle & bustle during the Chicago party scene on weekends. One thing I especially love is you can RSVP for free on their themed nights for free cover before 10pm. This is the perfect spot to have a girls night and dance out. The line does get pretty long after 10pm and they usually do charge cover after, so I recommend RSVPing and arriving before 10pm if you can. This place gets PACKED, like most bars/clubs do in the city on weekends. How the club is layed out is the bar is on the first floor and then little a small step up, there's the DJ booth with a dance floor and lit-up decor. I wish so bad the dance floor was bigger; this space in general is relatively small. I find myself not having enough room to dance at times. The vibes are fun, the drinks are standard, and the themed nights are a win. I definitely recommend Beauty Bar for going out in the city!

    Super fun! My friend and I came here on a Thursday, the decor is on par! They have a drink specials, some sort of show is about to happen in a little while, and the staff is wicked cute. Would recommend!

    15/10 ambiance. 10/10 music. Will be back with my girls. It's pretty quiet early in the night but this place comes alive after 10/11.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

For parking you definitely should use Spothero or ParkWhiz, as it's in a very busy/lively part of River North. We loved meeting the owner who was chatting with and checking on guests in the dining room. The menu was really creative and sounded amazing, totally up my alley, so was super excited to try Ila's out for the first time. Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, but the food itself was a miss for me, and the prices felt steep for the portions. We ordered the empanada duo, grilled scallops, birria lamb pierogis, and sweet corn agnolotti, then the Japanese cheesecake and drip coffee. The positives were that everything tasted fresh, and the flavors of the dishes were good ~ especially the empanadas, scallops, and agnolotti. The main issue was the texture of some of the foods. Other than the empanada (which had a great texture and flavor), the agnolotti and pierogi dough were not right ~ thick, rubbery, and dry, which was exacerbated by not having enough consommé for the pierogis. And the coffee - it honestly tasted like Folgers (though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) - which took me aback as it was a $7 drip coffee. I'm not discounting Ila's and I truly wish them success. But I think there's some work to be done in terms of execution.
