Three drinks later I'm glad I came. Megg is a top tier bartender and I met this dude named Chris and another guy who I haven't met yet is wearing a Rage Against the Machine T-shirt so surely he's cool. Idk drinks aren't outlandishly expensive and I wish my dad could come to this bar but he lives in Connecticut so he probably won't. This bar is probably a good spot to bring a second date bc if they actually like it you'll probably get married. Don't do it on a first date though

Instead of heading home for the Super Bowl bc we couldn't find a hotel in the state of Louisiana,…read morewe headed to Chicago where we hoped to find Eagles fans. We made a reservation at Over/Under. When we arrived, there weren't a lot of people yet and we got seated quickly at a table already set up with our name on it and lots of fun swag. By the time the game was starting, it was packed. TV's lined the walls all the way around so every table was a good table. No one blocked our view. We each received 5 drink tickets and 2 meal tickets. In addition to the fact that we wiped the floor with Kansas, we met some really nice fans from Chicago. They made our visit so much fun, filled with endless laughter and a great time. It was a nice mix of young and older folks like us and the young people were so respectful and friendly. It truly was a pleasant surprise. They gave us their bar stools with backs so that we would be comfortable. I don't know if Steven David, who we also met there works for the bar but he was funny as all get out. He says he's a comedian so if you're in Chicago, look for him at a comedy club. The owners were very friendly and we appreciated chatting with them too. We didn't get to our second meal or order half of our drinks bc we were having such a good time so we gave them away. The pretzels were good and nachos weren't bad. Edible. They also offered free opps for prizes and you could also buy tickets to win prizes. Overall, we really enjoyed our time. Nice neighborhood bar feel, surrounded by great humans, including the owners.

Sunday funday is on a different level here! They bring the vibes of a Vegas Sportsbook right here…read moreto Chicago! You can place bets and enjoy drinks along with food specials like their $4, 6, 8 and $10 happy hour deals or the $8 and $10 large drinks. There are tvs EVERYWHERE so you're able to not miss a game and watch multiple sports at once. My brother and I tried a few menu items, but our favorites were definitely the wings with the Dragon sauce (sweet chili, sesame, soy and ginger) and the sautéed shrimp with potatoes. Be sure to try their cocktail called "Uncut Gem" and check out the Red Zone room! Enjoy!

We ordered cocktails, couple beers, and the sweet potato tots, and the portion size was really generous. We came after dinner so it felt more like a bar food situation, though they do have real food on the menu too. Even with how busy it was, the staff way so efficient and checked on us often. The whole vibe was so much fun with TVs everywhere (see the pictures I attached) and the entire bar cheering for the same team. First time here and I'd definitely come back.

This is the second year we came into Theory to attend the Champions League watch party, and Theory…read morekeeps proving to me why I enjoy coming over to this bar for large games. There were a lot of TVs all around the bar, so you won't be tilting your head back to watch the game from any angle. Our server was new, but she did a great job with taking everyone's orders and also being very upfront about saying she will ask about the drafts on tap so she can give us an accurate drink selection. The food from Theory never disappoints. Last year, I had the Theory Burger and was delighted by how good it was. This year, I tried the Challah French Toast and it was pleasantly delicious. The Mac and Cheese was also a solid choice, and for $8, they provided a good amount of food! And that Chicken Parm Egg Roll...wow they were so good!! I was skeptical from the name, but this was like having a pizza roll but in egg roll form The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars is because Theory has severely up charged for the Champions League. I recall last year a reservation was $5/person, but this year they charged $15/person. For this reason, we came in at 9AM opening time for an 8-person table and were able to get one without having to pay the reservation fee. I really like how organized Theory is though, as a sports bar. Service has always been great and I may come again for another game!

Picture this; we travel downtown to do a little Christmas shopping. Being the planners we are, we…read moreendlessly scrolled through Yelp looking for the perfect post-Christmas shopping meal for our group of five adults. We are starving, hangry actually. We saunter up to our chosen restaurant only to find a sign on the door that says, "closed for private event." Did I mention I was hangry? My husband suggests Jake Melnick's. It was within walking distance ... did I mention it was raining that night? And I was hangry? I was game for anything at that point. We arrived and waited probably four minutes for a table. A couple of the adults ordered a beer, the others ordered a Coke. We ordered a large pretzel and our mains. The pretzel was so good. All the meals were outstanding (a sliced brisket sandwich, some wings, chicken tenders, onion rings and a burger). Service was great. It was a little loud when we first arrived as there was an intense Illinois State basketball game on but as soon as the game ended, it was much quieter. We really enjoyed our meal at Jake's!

I loved the cider I ordered and I would go back just for that. We loved the other people we talked to there. The ambiance was incredible. The only outlier was the bartender seemed to be having an off night, she just wasn't super attentive with guests. But it wasn't so terrible that it tainted an otherwise great experience. I would definitely return to this place!

We also had front row seats to watch March madness, and more importantly the beer filling mechanism that fills glasses from the bottom! Kinda fun to watch. The bar also has purse hooks, which I am always grateful for. The food came out pretty quickly and was super fresh and delicious. The bartender was sooo sweet, very attentive and quick, and made sure my soda was always topped off. I loved the vibe and the moody lighting! The menu is definitely River North prices -- nothing terribly surprising bht on par for the neighborhood. At the time of our visit, cocktails were $15+ and the fry basket was $10. Again, not terrible but definitely paying to be in River North. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely worth it!

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience here. My son went in to pick up an order and…read morewas immediately met with a rude and unprofessional attitude from the bartender--the only person up front besides the cook. I could even hear the disrespectful tone over the phone, which was upsetting enough that I went in myself to confirm the order and pick it up. When I asked to speak with a manager or owner, I was told the cook in the back was the owner. I explained that employees in the service industry should treat all customers with professionalism and respect, especially paying ones. The way the bartender spoke to my son was completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the food was awful. The burger was not made as ordered, the fries were soggy, the Brussels sprouts were burnt beyond eating, and the brisket was soggy and flavorless. This was one of the worst dinners we've had and a total waste of money. Between the poor customer service and the terrible food quality, I will not be returning--and I feel others should know what kind of experience they may face here.

Our bartender was super friendly and talked about the items on the menu that she suggested. I ended up getting the blackened tilapia tacos. They were a good deal for only $8. My husband my husband got the barbecue cheeseburger, for $10. We both ended up getting beers. They have rotating beer. For happy hour they also have a beer and a shot for $6 . Overall we were very happy with our food the price the atmosphere. Burger was good and tacos were seasoned right. Sound system and available games make this a nice chill sports lounge. While this was our 1st time it definitely will not be our last time. This is good Bang for your dollar value. Will come back when I don't feel like cooking.
