This bar was a short walk from our VRBO. The music was great, played some goodies. It was nice to hear New Orleans music all the way in Chicago. The waitress was super nice, they were closing in a few. But, she let us get in a dessert, and drinks order. Those drinks were so GOOD!!!! read more

We went here on a date night on a Saturday and really enjoyed our meal! It wasn't too busy, so we were able to get a seat at 6pm. The space was clean, and the staff were attentive. I enjoyed the sports bar vibe with nicer food. My favorite dish was the Wagyu burger, but the wings were a close second. They were fried perfectly and the honey habanero was drizzled over them, creating a lovely depth of flavor - especially with their homemade ranch. The Caesar salad was good, but tasted a little like it had the cheap Parmesan on it from the can. The short ribs were also tasty, but a bit on the chewier side than I would have liked. They do have a few mocktail options for $8 each (very affordable). I really enjoyed my cucumber mocktail! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Pilsen! read more

My visit here was unintentional, as I was looking for somewhere to get a bite to eat after an impromptu Costco trip. Since I was looking for something more casual, this place came up as a suggestion online. It's a small bar and I didn't notice a sign out front that had the restaurant name, that's something maybe they should consider. But overall, it appeared to be newly renovated, and had all of the Chicago sports teams decor throughout which I liked. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a Black owned bar, which was another plus for me. On Mondays, they have $10 wings, and it's a pretty good deal because they give you really nice sized wings. My only critique is that the wings themselves weren't seasoned so the sauce had to do a lot of of the heavy lifting for flavor. But the chicken was cooked perfectly! Lastly the other small issue I had was that it was freezing cold in the bar. I'm not sure if it's due to insulation or because of the type of windows they had installed, but it was absolutely freezing and that almost took away from the experience, nonetheless, this is certainly a place that I would try again during the warmer months. read more

The waitress explained things easily so the service traits you well. The ambiance has music, but it's a little loud so you have to scream so they can hear you. The mocktail is like a little strong, but I think it's because of the cranberry. I didn't like that I ordered a salad without chicken, and the amount of lettuce wasn't too much. It was decent, but I'm just not used to eating that quantity. The hamburger with fries was really good! However, they gave scary prices just for 3 persons!!! That's the thing that I hated, but you can't complain because it was a special Chinese meat or whatever Wagyu is. Now I'm complaining at Yelp. read more

Let me just say, this spot is pretty dope. This is a husband and wife owned establishment that's nicely decorated and designed. The owners are very nice and personable, which just makes the experience even better. I came in with like 40 minutes left on the happy hour (4pm - 6pm) had two old fashions (they use buffalo trace) and wings (6 whole wings) half Oso bbq half honey habanero. Select apps and all cocktails were just $10 each. The wings were very good, very crispy (similar to a Korean style) not overly seasoned but I do wish they had some more flavors or something spicier. I did also get the waygu burger (pretty damn good) which was great and fries which were hand cut. The vibe is great with great musical selection (lots of Rnb, some hip hop and not too loud). It was the night of the NFL season opener and it wasn't too busy but they said they got busy last year during Bears game (they play the sound of important games). I highly recommend this place, it's great for any occasion (I took a date). There's outdoor seating and it's right next to Alulu brewing. Give them a try, they deserve your business. I know I'll be back for sure, maybe even become a regular. read more

Oso & The Bull - Cucumber Cooler quite tasty - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pretty nice sports bar, with nice people that work there. It's casual and welcoming with a luxurious menu. Around $30 for a wagyu burger with bacon ($3 up-charge) and fries (also a $3 up-charge), you'd think it's going to be good. Alas the meat quality itself did most of the lifting on this burger. Wagyu anything is delicious but this burger is pretty Spartan for its price point. Without my add-ons it's just burger, cheese, sauce and buns. To their credit, the burger was better than what you'd get at Simone's these days but I really expect more for $30 even in this economy. At the very least don't overcook it. I asked for Medium and I got Medium-Well. If you are going to use high quality meat you better know how to treat it. The fries were also flabby and grey with chunks of salt just tossed in and it tasted like it was tossed in the same bowl as tortilla chips. The Cesar salad came with 2 dressings which were so thick they were more like a spreads. On paper this menu is really cool and intriguing, but from what I've seen the execution lacks technique and cuts corners. The burger should've been the easiest thing to get right on this menu and it was a flop. Needless to say I probably will not be returning. read more

What went well?????? EVERYTHING! Give it a try . Pozole is consistent every time I've been there. If you don't like it then have anything else on the menu. And if you don't like that then have a cocktail . You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped in with my husband for a quick bite and a drink. Well..the drinks were so good we both ordered another round. Staff is friendly and the owner was there making the mean cocktails. Food came out hot and it was *chef's kiss*..The only thing I would change is the lighting, but it is more of a sports bars. It just felt really lit up in there. Style preference that's all. FIVE STARS. read more

Food was ok. We tried the Cesar salad w/chicken. Wagyu Burger was average. The pork belly bites were the highlight. Service was good as we were the only other patrons in the restaurant at the time. read more

I've had most of the menu and it's all been consistently . Every. Single. Time. Best burger I've had in Chicago. Every time.

The food is delicious. I started off with a Caesar salad, and I am a salad lover, it was nice creamy with crunchy croutons very flavorful. I'm not really hamburger person, but the wagyu burger is definitely a must try. It was good. It was creamy and had different flavor flavors popping. The steak and frites and The pork belly bites were both delicious, but I'm adventurous so I would suggest to eat either one with your Caesar salad. Those combos will not disappoint They have wide screen TVs so all you have to do is Grab a PBR and a shot and chill. The service was excellent Brandon and Roxy are great host. They talk to you about the food. They talk to you about the drinks so you'll definitely feel welcome. The ambience is so personalized you will definitely know you're in a Chicago sports lovers space nestled in the Pilsen neighborhood, because the walls are dripping of unforgettable Chicago sports memories and milestones. Great experience! read more
