This is not the place for a quiet conversation. It may be one of the loudest restaurants I've visited in quite some time, and a nearby birthday celebration only added to the energy. That said, the atmosphere is part of the appeal. If you're looking for a fun, celebratory evening with friends or family, Gilt Bar delivers. I can't imagine choosing it for a business dinner. We started with the Tenderloin Steak Tartare and onion rings. Both were excellent. My daughter was craving the Bolognese, while I ordered the vodka rigatoni. The portions were generous, and both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The truffle mafaldine appears to be the menu's most celebrated pasta and receives plenty of attention on Yelp, but we were very happy with our selections. Service was spot on throughout the evening. Food arrived with good pacing, drinks were refreshed promptly, and our server struck the right balance between attentive and intrusive. For dessert, we shared the gooey skillet cookie. Be warned: this thing arrives at the table with nuclear-level heat. The vanilla ice cream isn't just there for flavor, it's there for protection. One unusual observation: the floors seemed surprisingly slippery throughout the restaurant, something we noticed more than once. Our bill came to $159 before tip, which felt reasonable given the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. Between the lively atmosphere, strong food, excellent service, and vibrant bar scene, it's easy to understand why Gilt Bar has remained popular for more than 15 years

It's located inside of a brightly lit liquor store, and it's a completely different vibe as soon as you enter into Osito's Tap. At 8:30pm on a Saturday, we were seated right away at the bar. There was a live DJ, but the music wasn't too loud which I appreciated. Sometimes with live DJs the music gets way too loud, but it was just some nice background music. The service was great, and our bartender was really friendly. We tried the For Ari, Nube Punch, and Jardinera. All the cocktails were delicious and unique. I typically don't like savory cocktails and usually cocktails with malort are intimidating, but the jardinera cocktail surprised me and I actually liked it a lot. I think the tomato flavor just worked really well with the malort. I would come back just for that cocktail, but there were so many other cocktails I wanted to try and didn't get to this time, so we'll definitely be back.

    I was really excited to try Osito's!…read more The space itself is lovely and moody. We tried a handful of things from the menu but would have tried more, but as they got busier, the service declined. Everything we tried was delicious--especially the salsas! Their drink menu was fun and interesting so I would definitely recommend stopping by for a few drinks.

Inside is okay though. First off, if you are not intimidated by the rough neighborhood, let their bathrooms scare you out of there, somewhat. I mean when you are walking and the floor tile comes up with you, this is not a good sign. Years ago, this place (which by the way has been around since the early 80's or maybe even the 70's), was not a bad hidden place. But as the years went on, the owner (Juanita Banana), turned it into a really thriving business. On any given day you could see the cowboys of Mexico show up there (why are married men in a gay bar), and just drink away the night while getting a glimpse of female impersonations. And really not a bad group, but you will probably need to speak the native language in order to understand. Very few touch on english music but sometimes if your lucky, you will see a Gaga impersonator. the drinks can be less expensive for the venue, but hey it is what it is. A mixture of gay and "straight" men in the joint, but you be the judge.

We stumbled across Jacaranda bar which we soon found out is a hidden gem. We were welcomed by dozens of fellow México fans who -- like us -- were dressed up in the tricolor. The energy was electric. Despite how busy they were, the staff went out of their way to offer us great seats at one of the tables with a perfect view of their televisions which were of course featuring the game. They even had free raffle giveaways as well as complementary fresh homemade ceviche for all of the guests. This truly was hospitality at its finest, and it was paired so nicely with the friendly and generous patrons of this establishment. We certainly intend to return as soon as possible to watch more fútbol and appreciate the fantastic la Villita community.

The prices were very in line with what they served, and they tasted great. My family has a fun connection to this location as the apartment above the bar was my family's first home when they immigrated to America from West Bohemia in 1903. There's much more to that story, but it's what's appropriate for this review.

Second, I love the vast array of games they have! I came because I saw they had a super Nintendo, but then I saw this huge game set-up at one of the tables which I learned is a 19th century Canadian game called Crokinole. With a quick Google search we learned the rules in a few minutes and had a blast. I love the tactile feel of these types of games and the classic formula of "shoot item in hole". Service was great, the beers came out quickly and the bartender even brought my credit card out since I forgot it. I asked about the Super Nintendo and they checked to make sure it was on and basically it's first come first serve! They also have the original NES in the back somewhere and a whole selection of board games to play. On the super Nintendo that have a curated selection of classics like Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, Super Mario world, and Super Street Fighter 2. It was such a throwback to be able to play these games and felt great to share a bit of my childhood with my wife. There's nothing like spamming punch with E Honda and destroying your partner over a few beers. Low Horse is a great bar in Wicker Park with a vast selection of games and perfect for catching up with friends!
