This place is amazing! You walk in to a trendy fun and welcoming bar. The bar tenders greeted us with friendly smiling faces. We found a place to sit in the back & we were given menus. Neither of us had ever been there before so we asked for recommendations. We went with something fruity, I think it was called paradise something, it had pineapple and coconut in it. But we had that to start. It was delicious. Then she came back and I asked for a recommendation on the dessert portion of the menu and she said the cupcake martini was a huge hit and so my friend & I did went with that -- just a note the cupcake martini has a lot more alcohol in it than the first one, whoa... -- but it was still really good! My friend and I had a blast while drinking our martinis and enjoying the atmosphere in the lounge. The way they set it up is really nice. I went home and immediately told my boyfriend about it. I'm really looking forward to going back and trying out different drinks! I haven't heard people talk about this place. It's like a hidden gem in Homewood!

This was a last-minute invite for me. I haven't been back since they stopped selling LoveLuvv…read moreSparkling Wines. If you know, you know. However, a friend got stood up, so I came in to fill the spot. First, I have to say this is definitely a nice little spot tucked into Homewood. It sits right in the heart of its town-ish downtown area and really completes that "where to go and meet the locals" vibe. The staff is always nice, and the drinks are always strong. Honestly, I would love to have something like this in the South Loop, but at the same time, I think part of what makes it work is exactly where it is. The main floor is comfortable and accessible, with loveseats, bar stools, and plenty of space to settle in. It falls just a hair short of having that comfortable neighborhood restaurant feel, just without the restaurant or the food. The cool part is that you can bring in food from any of the local places down the street, which fits perfectly with the whole neighborhood atmosphere. Then there's the basement speakeasy, which has an entirely different feel and is easily one of my favorite parts of the place. Overall, this is one of those places that reminds you that you don't always have to head into the city to find a great night out. It's comfortable, welcoming, has plenty of personality, and feels like it belongs exactly where it is. If you're in the south suburbs and looking for a place to grab a strong drink, meet up with friends, or just settle in and enjoy the evening, this should absolutely be on your list.

A lot of great cocktails to choose among. There's also some things to eat but it's usually just things that are greasy. Basically this bar has a more mature crowd. It's great if not wanting to run into those who are about to pop a cap in the ass of someone. There's also limited hours so it's harder to get in whenever. A place that really limits when to go. This makes it harder to communicate with employees about events or other things. It's about $10 for a basic cocktail. The food is pretty basic, just things from the fryer to be honest. It's about $7 for an appetizer. They have the basics like onion rings. For sure there's a lot of events. It's located on 183rd Street at Kedzie. They're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

A nice group of older men and women. Some of the bartenders aren't the friendliest, hence the removal of a star, but they make pretty good drinks. The food was good, I had the fried chicken and fish. Parking is ample and security is friendly. I will definitely attend when I can.

Man... I organized a…read morecigar crawl with several friends, and this was the last stop on the tour. For starters: the space is in pristine condition. They have a lounge area open to the general public (spacious and comfortable), and a private members section that is IMMACULATE. The members' area has multiple rooms and is one of the cooler layouts I've seen. The cigar selection isn't the biggest, but it gets the job done. What really sold me on this place was the service and ventilation. The manager was extremely attentive to my party; gave us a tour of the building and made us feel welcomed. Regarding the ventilation - it's one of the best systems in the Chicagoland area. Unless there are 50 people in there chain smoking, you won't leave drenched in cigar smoke. Big fan of this place; I heard they have new locations coming and I'll have to check those out once they're open.

Never heard of this place and I am beyond past any bar, lounge or club type situation but again we were invited for a birthday party and had no idea what to expect. We ordered food and drinks and were in the VIP section which had a huge tv and was streaming the game. The music was very tame and if you like that type of music very non lethal, very old school. Folks dressed normal and acted like they had sense! Plenty of parking and no issues

Update: I've been in contact with the owner and manager of this establishment. What I appreciate…read morethe most is that the issue was acknowledged, and apologies were given immediately after notifying management, which shows they care about delivering great service. That means the world to me! I do look forward to my next visit. I went here Saturday with my girls, and the vibe was on point, but the service from one of the bartenders left a bad taste. I want to extend some grace because it was extremely crowded and only a few bartenders were working, so one would expect a longer wait. However, when trying to order a 2nd round of drinks after tipping 20% our requests were repeatedly dismissed while others that came behind us were being served. When we finally did get served, I didn't realize my friend had paid for my drink and I put $15 on the bar for it. Once my girl told me she had already paid for my drink, I asked the bartender for my money back. She told me I only put $10 and despite my witnesses correcting her, she took it upon herself to STEAL $5 from me. In the future, I will not request service from this particular bartender. Other than that, it was a great time, and I look forward to my next visit!

I highly recommend the steak tartare and the vodka rigatoni. The chicken was good as well, but the main highlight was the garlic aioli sauce that came with the entree. It is a big portion and I recommend sharing. What stood out the most was service. Luckily we were able to do walk-in bar seating for the Library area on a Wednesday evening. Bartender was very attentive, got us new plates after we finished appetizers, and they boxed up our leftovers for us. The Library area was definitely more quiet than the main seating area. It is downstairs. It has a dark and moody atmosphere. If you have trouble reading in the dark, it might be hard to read the menu in the dark lighting though. There is also a photo booth tucked in the side of the hallways downstairs before you enter the Library area. $5 for 2 prints. A cute souvenir for your experience dining at Gilt Bar. Price wise: look to be spending $20-$30 average per each item on the menu. But worth the price for the food, service, and atmosphere you are getting. Definitely worth the visit.

The meatballs were great as an appetizer, the tomato sauce was seasoned well and there was enough for each meatball (came with 5). The burger was phenomenal- super juicy and cooked to perfection, and very large. The spicy vodka rigatoni was great - spiced just right and not overly spicy (coming from someone that has a very low spice tolerance). The salmon was to die for- super juicy and tender piece of fish and it flaked right on the fork. We also got the carbonara which was good, but could have used a little more salt / seasoning as it was a little bland. The Brussel sprouts were a stand out - super flavorful, cooked just right and were tender but not mushy. We fought over these!! Service was attentive and we felt taken care of! Will be dining here again as it's a hit every time with the food, and the ambiance is so fun and lively! Definitely recommend for dinner for a date night or special event!!

Look at some art while sipping on a few cocktails. The prices aren't bad especially at happy hours. Checked it out before going to see a play and it was big time ass busy. It's one of the nicer bars in town to be certain. There's all kinds of fancy cocktails such as the namesake obviously. Go at the happy hour and save a few bucks. It's $6 for any of the French 75 variations. Happy hour is Tuesdays through Fridays 4 to 6 in the evening. The Blanc is Bombay Dry Gin, Brut, lemon juice, and simple syrup. It's about $9 for appetizers. The Marinated Olives are nice to munch on. Also they have charcuterie boards. These are great for groups and parties. Has quite an interesting combination. It's open every evening with plenty of art to check out. They have a happy hour weekdays and are open later Fridays and Saturdays.
