    Every-time we drive by this spot I blurt out how it's on my list to try. We FINALLY had the pleasure of visiting last night & though different than I expected - surpassed my expectations. Inside gives cozy diner vibes. They have a bar, pool, arcade games, booths, etc. There are multiple rooms so there is a ton of space for groups. Our only critique was there were so many TVs - literally everywhere you look . The positive - they all were playing different sports games. I can imagine it's a great game day spot. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. 10/10. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and matched the kick back vibe. We enjoyed the Christmas decorations & look forward to exploring the outside beer garden when it's warmer!

    Sitting outside....why wouldn't you want to go here?!?!!

    We were promptly seated and LOVED the retro theme!! The drinks were cold, the service was spot on....what more could you ask for?!?!!? Felt line a cool old midwestern town bar, with above average food. Love the vibe and the Cuban and tots, which we split (more than enough for 2 people) was AMAZING! Especially the pulled pork, which they do in house. Definitely a place to go and watch a game or do what we did and just have a very enjoyable afternoon!!! Cheers!

    Service was 10/10. Only one server and some bus boys for the entire restaurant and they did great for an NFC Championship game day. The guys liked their burgers, although on the expensive side. The Cesar wrap was dry and had too many croutons. The sweet potato fries are much better than they look. The additional covered patio that they've added is heated and cozy! Two TV's for viewing games.

    The only question I have: How do I get the Campus Lounge back to Chicago?! Thanks to our hosts Miranda and Jessica, we enjoyed a fine meal--good God, that was a fabulous burger!--and excellent brandy Old Fashioneds. Our super comfortable booth echoed the rest of the CL's mid-century vibe.

    Solid brunch and bar food! Plenty of tv's and bar space. Also kid and family friendly with a few arcade games. We sat at the bar and service was great! Loved the orange juice to champagne ratio for the mimosas ;) also loved the poutine!

    Went here for some late night drinks after dinner. The vibe was cool and definitely nicer than your average sports bar. I ordered a Negroni and the bartender said she makes it with Hendricks so I said fine. Turns out using Hendricks doubled the price of three drink. It was a pretty good Negroni though and better than I would expect at a dive bar. However totally not worth the price of $20 if I can get one for less than that at a great cocktail bar. The whiskey and berries cocktail was also good but the blueberry syrup made it have a slight medicinal flavor. Really clean place and overall would go back. Service was also quick.

    My sisters were visiting from out of town and we came to campus lounge to see Magoo the bluegrass band play. Service was excellent! Even though we had one starter meal and a soda, our server was the nicest and took great care of us. IG: @merimusubae

    I've driven and walked by Campus Lounge for serval years and tonight decided to give it a try. I consider it a little above a dive bar with decent food. Service is good and waiter was very attentive. We tried the fried chicken sandwich. The coating was light and crispy, and the mayo was the perfect amount with the iceberg lettuce. The Cubano was packed with slow cooked pulled pork that was tender. The sandwich needed more mustard to add the tangy flavor. It could have used more pickles to add some crunch. The bread had an odd taste, so I just ate everything on the inside. I would go back again when there's a game on TV.

    Absolutely loved Toro! I'm honestly impressed…read more From the moment we walked in, everything was excellent -- beautiful atmosphere, stylish interior, great service, and most importantly, amazing food. This is exactly what I look for in a restaurant. The dishes are flavorful, beautifully presented, and the portions actually make you feel like you came to have dinner, not just taste two bites of something and wait for the next plate. The cocktails were also fantastic, and the entire experience felt fun, energetic, and well-balanced. You can tell there is a lot of attention to detail in everything they do. For me, this is what a great restaurant should be: great food, great service, great atmosphere, and an experience that makes you want to come back. I left genuinely impressed and already want to come back and try more dishes. Definitely 5 stars from me. Highly recommended!

Yuzu Cake - fantastic texture and taste Lava Cake - was giving off unusual banana notes Definitely a place that I will return. Valet parking available as well as meter and further free street parking.

    I have a weakness for a great whiskey bar. My wallet knows it. My liver knows it. My wife…read moredefinitely knows it. Sometimes I show up hunting for rare pours. Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.
