At ten pm, another bartender claimed they were only selling bottles of water. Wow...what if I was already trashed and needed some water right away?! The worst part is they misadvertised the time on their Facebook page for the Crystal Waters concert. The page clearly claimed the concert started at 8 pm. It is 12:21am and I am still waiting for her to come out! Instead, I decided to write this review. Earlier, three employees misinformed me on the different times she was going to perform. I asked to speak to the owner so I can get a refund. When I found him, I informed him that strangers I met in the VIP section were talking about a chargeback. He asked what that was and then yelled at me about giving him a break. He continued to make excuses to why she is not present. She finally came on stage at 12:30 and played for about 18 minutes. We drove an hour to the place. Where is our break considering there was a huge flood warning? I will not be back.

We absolutely loved the aesthetic and vibe throughout the restaurant as well. For dinner, we had the vodka pasta with meatballs, and it was the perfect creamy consistency with incredible flavor. We also ordered the hamachi crudo, which was super fresh and definitely something we'd order again. Not pictured: we wrapped up the meal with the skillet cookie, and oh my gosh... I can't recommend it enough.

It's smoky, rich, boozy but not overpoweringly so, really well balanced sweetness from the rum. Love it. My wife and I got the ricotta gnocchi which was great, very cheesy. Surprising how much cheese they got in there. The steak tartare was also great. Super flavor, though probably didn't need the sriracha sauce. The wagyu burger was great but not worth the $30 price. That's a lot and not as good as other Chicago great burgers. The skillet cookie was a great way to wrap up the meal. Fantastic flavor from the brown sugar cookie and tons of chocolate. Definitely save room for dessert.

It's located inside of a brightly lit liquor store, and it's a completely different vibe as soon as you enter into Osito's Tap. At 8:30pm on a Saturday, we were seated right away at the bar. There was a live DJ, but the music wasn't too loud which I appreciated. Sometimes with live DJs the music gets way too loud, but it was just some nice background music. The service was great, and our bartender was really friendly. We tried the For Ari, Nube Punch, and Jardinera. All the cocktails were delicious and unique. I typically don't like savory cocktails and usually cocktails with malort are intimidating, but the jardinera cocktail surprised me and I actually liked it a lot. I think the tomato flavor just worked really well with the malort. I would come back just for that cocktail, but there were so many other cocktails I wanted to try and didn't get to this time, so we'll definitely be back.

This is a scary place to see female impersonators. You have to pay attention in order to find it,…read morethe only thing that barracdes it from the font of 26th street is a wrought iron fence, but don't blink, its not a nice looking outside. Inside is okay though. First off, if you are not intimidated by the rough neighborhood, let their bathrooms scare you out of there, somewhat. I mean when you are walking and the floor tile comes up with you, this is not a good sign. Years ago, this place (which by the way has been around since the early 80's or maybe even the 70's), was not a bad hidden place. But as the years went on, the owner (Juanita Banana), turned it into a really thriving business. On any given day you could see the cowboys of Mexico show up there (why are married men in a gay bar), and just drink away the night while getting a glimpse of female impersonations. And really not a bad group, but you will probably need to speak the native language in order to understand. Very few touch on english music but sometimes if your lucky, you will see a Gaga impersonator. the drinks can be less expensive for the venue, but hey it is what it is. A mixture of gay and "straight" men in the joint, but you be the judge.

A man got cussed out by a woman because he voiced his opinion about politics, which showed how ignorant she was. I ordered a drink at the bar and noticed a huge pan of wings sitting there and many people eating them. I guess it wasn't offered to me because I was a newcomer. The drinks are expensive. I didn't feel very safe in the establishment. The barmaid did not make me feel comfortable and I'm sure she realized I was a newbie. If I should ever return she'll remember the one who doesn't tip!

We stumbled across Jacaranda bar which we soon found out is a hidden gem. We were welcomed by dozens of fellow México fans who -- like us -- were dressed up in the tricolor. The energy was electric. Despite how busy they were, the staff went out of their way to offer us great seats at one of the tables with a perfect view of their televisions which were of course featuring the game. They even had free raffle giveaways as well as complementary fresh homemade ceviche for all of the guests. This truly was hospitality at its finest, and it was paired so nicely with the friendly and generous patrons of this establishment. We certainly intend to return as soon as possible to watch more fútbol and appreciate the fantastic la Villita community.
