    Buffalo Chicken Pizza
    Ty A.

    We loved our Buffalo Chicken pizza when we went. Mark and our waitress did a great job! We'll def be back again! Highly recommended!! :-)

    The Big Show
    Mark L.

    For a bar, this is probably one of the better ones I've been to. We came for bingo night, which was very fun. The host was really entertaining and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The place was buzzing by the time everyone was settled. Additionally, the bingo night specials were amazing, and I highly recommend attending. The Big Show pizza was great, as good as bar food gets. I wouldn't have expected such a place to bring out food so well done.

    Came in on a Tuesday night with my friends for bingo and had a great time! The bar filled up for bingo and the atmosphere was a lot of fun with a lot of high energy. To eat, I got the Dill Pickle pizza which was honestly so good. My husband got the southwest made into a wrap and said that it was really good. The only miss on our experience was the chicken tortilla soup, which my friend said just tasted like tomato soup. Despite the bar being full for bingo night, we got our food decently quick as well as drink refills. In addition to bingo they also have trivia and music trivia that we want to try out!

    Honey Goat Cheese
    Kenna G.

    Bar with fun trivia and bingo nights. Decently sized, two different rooms of seating. Food is very average, my salad was disappointing. Very light on the honey goat cheese and the prosciutto. Would recommend adding protein if you get this salad, (2.5/5). Sweet potato fries came out cold and when I asked for ranch, I never got it (2/5). Also, the water here tasted awful. It had the weirdest after taste. Service was fine!

    Skillet Cookie

    Fun place to watch a game + drink if you like beer or drinks in cans. I was underwhelmed with the mule, espresso martini, and margarita. I should have stuck with seltzers. The food was okay. The nachos were good. The honey goat cheese salad was good, but my goat cheese fritter had very little goat cheese in it which was disappointing. The boneless garlic parmesan wings didn't appear to have any garlic parm sauce on them. The boneless bbq wings were better since they were saucy. The cookie skillet was a little burnt which took away from it. The middle, which wasn't burnt, was great. There appeared to only be one server and she was killing it! I was super impressed with her attentiveness even while being incredibly busy.

    Gaslight is always a safe option for a quick beer and meal. I have tried a few of their cocktails but I am personally not a fan and would recommend to stick with the beer options. However, their food is pretty good. My go to is the buffalo mac and cheese ( ALWAYS a hit). Gaslight can get pretty busy, so I try to go during weird hours. If you do end up going during the busy hours, it's still a really good time!

    Gaslight was exactly what I needed. Their brunch is so affordable a the best thing to have with a hangover. The friend chicken, waffle Benedict was so so good. It wasn't too sugary or greasy at all. Great atmoshphere and service as well!

    Buffalo chicken salad as a wrap and Sweet Potato Fries

    Gaslight is a fun neighborhood bar with lots of seating options and a good spot for groups. It's a fun atmosphere, and the outdoor space is very nice in the summer. There's a lot of people who come here to watch sports. On Wednesday nights they have trivia at 7:30pm (make sure you make a reservation if you plan to come). The trivia is quite challenging questions in a variety of categories but they give away high dollar gift cards so it's pretty fun. I tend to feel like most of the servers are in a bad mood whenever I have come here. The food is ok; I got a buffalo chicken salad as a wrap with sweet potato fries. I like the you can get the salads as wraps but it is pretty standard bar food. The tater tots are pretty good too! They have a good menu variety.

    Breakfast Burrito*

    This was an okay sports bar. The food options were fine, nothing too crazy or anything that stands out. Didn't have any alternative meat options. The drinks were also okay. They were pretty busy for CFB and good amount of screens to watch all the games but servers seemed a little overwhelmed with the amount of tables.

    Nice sports bar on the main strip of Clark in Lincoln Park. I sat out on the patio area. It's a nice spot to watch a lot of sports games on one of the many TVs, while sipping on one of their many drinks and munching on one of their many food items. I just got some fries, they came with this really tasty house seasoning. They have your standard beer draft selection, with the usual crafts, and a good amount of house cocktails and old favorites. The staff were all nice. If it's real hot outside, the patio may be a bit hot as well, especially if there's a lot of people there, but if you're too hot you can always go outside as well. Not too expensive, especially for the area. I could see myself popping in again if I'm ever in the area.

    Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich and French Fries
    Will W.

    Gaslight is a cute bar with generous outdoor seating. They have at least 6 different TVs so that you can always see some sport that is playing. We got seated quickly and service was great. From an extensive menu of bar eats to a great selection of drinks on tap, Gaslight is a great spot to spend a few hours with friends and watching sports. The fried chicken sandwich was crispy and delicious. I would definitely recommend it! The smashburger also definitely hit the mark. Gaslight will quickly become a frequently visited spot for my friends.

    Chicken Nachos and Chicken Boneless Wings
    Bailey W.

    My friends and I went to Gaslight to watch the World Series and the college football games. The place was packed so service was kind of slow, which is understandable. When ordering drinks I asked for a drink that ive had there before but wasnt on the menu. The waitress looked at me like I was crazy and told me to order the Transfusion. The Transfusion was gross. The Nachos and goat cheese salad were pretty good and would order again. We were all disappointed in the wings and the cookie skillet. Overall I would not go out of my way to go back to Gaslight but if my friends were there I would meet them.

The bartenders are always very friendly and check in often which is always appreciated. You're always immediately given little pretzels to snack on which I love as a unique touch. This time we both chose a more standard cocktail, but they also always have very unique and delicious seasonal cocktails which are always amazing! I would definitely recommend Elixir to anyone looking for a spot to grab a quick and delicious cocktail!

    On our first night in Boystown, Jamie W and I were pretty overwhelmed by the crowds at Sidetrack…read moreand Roscoe's, so we ended up coming here to make Jamie's virginal gay bar debut. It was the right move because it had the kind of chill vibe we were seeking after a long flight from SFO. Fortunately there were two seats at the bar with our names on them. Figuratively speaking. They had quite a signature cocktail list on hand, and we felt it was our obligation to try as many as we could. At least that was what we said to ourselves as the evening wore on. Each cocktail was $14. We started with a couple of familiar libations. Jamie ordered the Mint Julep, a delightfully Deep South mix of bourbon, simple syrup, and fresh mint (photo: https://yelp.to/u-td8LdPLj). I went further south with the Pineapple Margarita which was emboldened by a tropically potent mix of pineapple infused tequila, lime juice, and agave (photo: https://yelp.to/V-Sf6Q_2qK). We got a bit bolder with our second round and found mixed results. Jamie had the Not Your Mom's Daiquiri which amped up the margarita by blending pineapple-infused tequila with Bacardi 8-year rum. Along with fresh lime and simple syrup, this one definitely had more of a kick (photo: https://yelp.to/1ZijDf6wMV). However, my order, the Pontiac Pony, was a spicy miss for me. It was a rather oddball mix of apple-cinnamon infused vodka, pear liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and ginger beer (photo: https://yelp.to/5dQoFdzG98). There was just a harshness that didn't sit well on my tongue. Oh well, the mellow vibe was cool. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...three out of four cocktails were aces, just one clinker AMBIANCE - 4 stars...very chill, fairly quiet for Boystown SERVICE - 4 stars...cool bartenders TOTAL - 4 stars...check it out when you take a break from your Boystown cruising RELATED - Exploring Chicago?

It's a delightful location right across the street from Gallagher Way and Wrigley Field -- but it's not a sports bar, it's a nice restaurant. It's not large, but there are a decent number of 2 and 4-tops, plus bar seats. I was pleasantly greeted on arrival, and throughout my stay, I was treated so well by waiter Landon, plus front-of-house staff. I got the mussels (from Prince Edward Island, which are the best) in an incredibly rich garlic broth with lardons and Fresno peppers -- the crisp baguette slices were perfect for soaking up more of the delicious broth. I also got the Sweet Potato Rosti. Almost charred outside, yet sweet and tender inside -- so delicious, with a set of surprises to go with it (creamy horseradish sauce, onion marmalade, trout roe...) Both appetizer dishes were delicious and served as a full meal for one person (I recommend the rosti as a shared dish - it's a bit much for one person). Finished with crème brûlée - delicious with a fun garnish of charred marshmallow. I tried a couple of their ballpark drinks. The Bleacher Tea was outstanding - a good balance (not too sweet) with a nice tea flavor and a kick. The Day Game Daze was a little less successful (I wasn't really getting the coffee, as it seemed the Bonanto and sweet vermouth were dominating). Overall, a wonderful experience before a Cubs game!

There was some major drinking event going on and while the streets were wild, Mordecai did not participate. We were seated promptly with reservation and greeted by Avery who was sweet, kind and helpful with getting us familiar with the menu. We ordered cocktails which both came to us balanced and tasty, I can always appreciate when there is craft ice for an old fashioned! The Arancini was so tasty, very happy they did not overdue the Saffron We ordered the Mordecai and the deluxe burger which both came out delicious and finished every bite. It's also mentionable that some rowdy types tried to come in and the hostess did be sure to verify that behavior did not disrupt their patrons which we were very happy to see. Thank you for caring about the experience of everyone! Overall a great spot and we will return in the future!
