Met up with friends to celebrate some Aries birthdays. They picked this location because of brunch deals. However on this day, the chef was sick so food was limited. We still enjoyed the mimosa which were $25 a person. The vibe on this occasion was chill. Our bartender said that the place is normally busy. Only a dozen people on the day we were there. I would come back to check out the brunch scene on a normal day. read more

Went here on St Paddy's they served us expired beer and seltzers and when we asked for new ones they ONLY had expired ones

Favorite wings in the Lincoln Park area. Edgar and Karina are my go to bartenders when I visit ! Music and events are always a blast!

The Dime is a lively sports bar in Lincoln Park with a great vibe, good drinks, and tasty bar food. Perfect spot for catching games or brunch with friends. The staff is friendly and the music keeps things fun. read more

Hit this up on a weekend, because that's about the only time it seems to be open. It's more like a sports bar, but it has a party kind of vibe. The Dime certainly costs a lot more than a coin of course. Come here for late night fun, or brunch on a weekend morning. The nights are more like a club than a restaurant. After experiencing it at a few different times, I can say the best time to get food is at brunch. It takes forever at night to get any drinks. That means you can forget about any food. It's about $9 for a basic cocktail. While that is pretty high, that's close to what other hip spots in Lincoln Park are charging for that kind of shit. As for the food, it's not bad. Last time we got the Hangover Nachos. It's $11, which was the biggest complaint. The portion was pretty big though. It comes with cheese, eggs, and sour cream, but I got my half without these and just got extra vegetables to make up for it. There's not much else here that's vegan friendly it seems. Consider getting reservations if going later. It gets jam packed at night. The music is okay mostly but sometimes the DJ is annoying as fuck and you got to get out of there. read more

How you pay for a section and still stand in the line with the people who is not paying For a section! Make it make sense!

I went here over the summer with my boyfriend for a little date before going to a party. The Dime is definitely a unique place in the Lincoln Park Chicago area - it's known for its bathroom that has famous people's mugshots plastered all over! I would recommend coming to The Dime solely for partying/dancing at night and their drinks. I would not come here for a date or to get food with friends or family. The food was alright, the drinks were good, and the service was great! It's definitely a clubby feel with a DJ playing in the center and it's always dimly lit if lit at all. It was hard to hear my boyfriend who was sitting across from me, but then again like I said, this is more of a going out place than a sit down and eat place. I liked it here but I would only go here next time to dance or have fun, not necessarily for the food!! read more

Came here mainly for bottomless mimosas (day brunching) & heard good things about the vibe! Music was good, dancing the entire 2.5 hours we were there. Also, service was A-1 steak sauce. I would go back, especially being in a good location, Lincoln Park. There's lots to do around there & especially in the summer/nice weather. Fun times! Only thing to keep in mind, tight squeeze at this place. Not the biggest venue in Chicago or on that block probably but they work with what they have! Also also, their bathroom is cool with the mugshots of celebrities = creative. Chicken & waffles were awesome with spicy syrup and Avocado Toast was magnificently flavorful. One of the better avocado toast I've had. Personal Review: 7.1/10 read more

My friend & I came here for the 2-hour bottomless mimosa brunch. The atmosphere was awesome & so fun. They had really fun music playing & the staff was really nice. We didn't book a reservation so we sat at the bar. They had a limited menu for the day (Saturday) so we ordered the skillet breakfast & French toast. Both were really good! Nice sizes & good quality. We split each dish & still didn't finish them. We had probably 3 bottles of champagne & our tab was right at $100. Definitely a good time but it did fill up quick so make sure to book ahead especially if you have a large group! read more

Came here for Brunch & Bottomless mimosas with the gals and ordered the skillet! I ordered it without meat and added Avocado to it. It was very good and cheesy, different bread woulda been better. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos which were pretty stuffed , the eggs were nice and fluffy. Her only complaint was that the salsa wasn't spicy. My other friend ordered chilaquiles, I tried one and I felt it coulda had more chile but if you like your chilaquiles on the crunchier side this is for you. I felt this was more like nachos with egg on it and would be better with some meat. Two of my friends had the chicken and waffles and the portion was pretty small The chicken pieces were thin and kinda dry but the waffle was decent. The service here is good and friendly. Great atmosphere, bar vibes, good music and everyone there seemed to be having a good time! read more

I came here for the $25 burger and beer deal and would not come back. The burger was horribly dry and tasted like nothing - you could get a better burger at a fraction of the price from any fast food chain. The service wasn't great and although the drink prices seem cheap they're super small. Little to no vegetarian options and they upcharge the hell out of you to even switch from chicken to cauliflower. The biggest issue of all is that the prices aren't as displayed. The waitress claimed that the menus were old and no longer displayed the correct price. Although we pointed this out, as being both misleading and illegal, she did not adjust our bill. The food wasn't worth it at the displayed price yet alone a couple dollars more than what was listed. I would never come to this place again - not worth it at all. read more

Writing this review for CHRISTINA!! very cute very slay. she was so sweet to me and my friends and we can be pretty annoying. u know the vibes. also love the music !!! read more

Pros: I absolutely loved their chicken quesadillas! They were thick, chunky texture, and packed with flavor!! As for the decor and environment, the people are friendly and cool AF, and though the bar is not super huge, it's still decent. Cons: I originally ordered tacos but they were fresh out. Plus, even though not a lot of people ordered food, the quesadillas I ordered took a long time to come out. Despite that, the fact they were incredibly flavorful and tasty was well worth the wait. read more

Every time I come here it's an issue. To be honest they are a bar/club and that's the only reason I gave them more than 1 b/c their music is always good. Now the food... that's another story. The 1st time I came - they let us make a reservation just to tell us they were no longer serving food when we arrived. The 2nd time I came it was only a club (I use the term club cause it's more than a bar in my opinion). Drinks are definitely going to cost you. Now i went for the 3rd time last Saturday b/c my friend saw their bottomless deal. I had a bad feeling, but she really wanted to go, so I did. Bottomless was as usual- $25 and they give you a bucket of ice w. Champagne, OJ, & cups. Our server was cool I guess. Now to the food - I ordered a BURGER. They messed it up 3 times. I don't know about you all, but I'm not even one of those "take it back" people. I'll most of the time make it work. But this time I was literally given a burger that I hadn't ordered with toppings I don't eat and wasn't going to start that day. The waitress said "I'm sorry we have a new chef back there - but it's just extra toppings" goes silent. I'm looking at here like you seriously want me to eat this with things I dislike (DRY Jalapeños & RAW onions). She looked at me and saw I was not going so she said "I'll go take them off" and at that point I didn't want anyone touching my food so i said forget it, i'll do it. I then realized - there's no bacon on here. So i get it taken back and hopefully "redone". Then i bit into it - maaan NO seasoning, NO taste. How can you mess up a burger so bad? I tried adding ketchup to it, but it did nothing for it. Then I realized - NO EGG was on it. I was already about 3-4 bites in (cause i was starving and i told y'all I'm not usually a "take back person" i'll just deal). I told the waitress and she said "i can have him make you a egg on the side". That was a joke to me cause at this point my entire experience is ruined and why would I wanted a sunny side up egg on the side of my burger? What's the point? I said no and she said she should give me $2 off of the already ridiculously priced burger for what it was. At that point I was just annoyed because I realized they have 0 customer service and of course she only wanted to take $2 off because they get automatic 20% gratuity (EVEN WITH A 2 PERSON PARTY LOL) After reliving my experience through typing this i realized they only deserve 1 star. I should've went with my instinct and never came here. I didn't even take a picture of the burger (and i ALWAYS take a pic) but it just looked so basic. Oh yeah - they were also out of pretzel buns for my burger LOL. For reference I never finished the burger nor their hard fries and left it there so waste of my $. read more

This is my go-to brunch spot! The vibe is always fun! Is it a club? Is it a bar/pub? It is both! And I love it! Dress up or come dressed down, when you're done drinking, it's all fun stuff in the end! They have theeeee best margarita towers 88ozs and let me tell you...these bartenders will make it worthwhile!!! I love that you get a bottle of champagne for $25! The chicken and waffles are $12! The chicken is perfect with honey drizzled on it! (I don't like the waffles they are too thick! They need to be light and fluffier!) I pair my drunk with pineapple juice, it comes with it age juice! And please...try the frozen slushee which was mango and tequila it berry with vodka! Delicious! And I love their chicken wings! read more

The dime was a really nice atmosphere but one of the security guards the short Caucasian man was very rude and nonchalant. I was having difficulty with my tickets and he wasn't trying to listen to me and he was cutting me off every time I was speaking. I really didn't appreciate it since I was very polite to him and didn't give him a hard time. read more

Finally been able to check this place out for happy hour and loved the vibes! The retractable windows and music were on point throughout our time. All of the appetizers we ordered were delicious and the drinks were strong. The only thing was that the drinks were smaller than I anticipated. Cant wait to come back to check out their brunch! read more

The Dime - Indoor - Sports Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

There are a number bars on this stretch of Lincoln Ave, and sometimes it may hard to distinguish many of them for each other. However, there are many as aspects of the The Dime that differentiate it from the other places in the area. First, it's a Big Ten Bar. If this important to you and you are a fan or or went to a Big Ten school, this is a plus. Second, it has a little something for everyone. They have a number of TVs if you are sports fan and play cool music to listen to if sports isn't your thing. Third, the food is good. It's nothing fancy, just good bar good. I've been here twice, and enjoyed the food each time. On my first trip I ordered chicken wings, waffle fries and a chicken sandwich stuffed with Mac n cheese (I don't recall the name). I liked each dish, but the way to go are the wings. They were on par with any of great wings I've had in Chicago. My second, and most recent trip, was to try their current Friday special. It's $25.00 for a double cheeseburger with waffle fries and two hours of all you can drink beer. The burger was good and fries were crispy. My only issue was that pretzel bun was a bit salty. Overall for the price, and with beer included, it's a good burger at a good price. For beer, I got a buckets of Bud Light and Coronas. Not the best beer in all the world, but for the price, on a Friday night and in Lincoln Park, this is a great deal. Overall, if you are looking for a good bar with good food this a place to check out. read more

Service was good but highly disappointed because we reserved for bottomless mimosas or bottomless wings which was both unavailable. Per server the mimosas ends at 3p. Secondly, bottomless wings will no longer be a special and will be permanently removed. OpenTable showed that bottomless mimosas ends at 6p and reservations for bottomless wings were available. Neither was honored on arrival. Music and atmosphere was good. PLEASE UPDATE WEBSITE AND OPENTABLE TO AVOID ADVERTISING ISSUES. read more

If you're looking for a fun brunch place in Lincoln Park please add The Dime to your list! Sports bar themed with big TV's and DJ set the atmosphere was super lively. The food was delicious as well, we got to try the French Toast, Breakfast Skillet, Brunch Burger & Bone-in Wings. I uploaded pictures for you all to see! Chef Taqu takes pride in his work and it shows in the taste. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did. Manager Bill was great as well! read more

Place needs help, bathrooms are dirty and small. Also the bottomless mamosas are average at best didn't like having to drink out of plastic cups instead of glass like some of the other guests. Not worth the price of the average food and average drinks. Dj was awesome though he played awesome music! read more

We stopped by The Dime to get a drink on a Saturday night, and there were only a handful of people there. They play fun, loud music, and the staff were very nice. Maybe on another night, it would be more of a club vibe. The bathroom is covered in celebrity mug shots, which is pretty entertaining to look at. read more

Used to be LA social so in a great location and great interior. Loved the vibes here, great place to go have some drinks with a group of friends to either just hang out or to watch sports (lots of tvs). This is amazing bar food, I highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip and the fries with the cumin or wasabi ranch sauce. Drinks: this place is best for drinks and I highly recommend the Priaueoy pear Paloma , super yummy and strong read more

First time coming here for a brunch! So LIT! We made a 15 person reservation the day before due to some issue with another place. The dj's hyped the whole place up, food was cute, and the drinks was A1! We got a few $50 buckets for both tables which consisted of two bottles champagne and three juices. They didn't try to kick us out after 90minutes also the server kept asking us if we're doing fine which was cool! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a lit brunch! read more

This place was great. Fun vibes, good food, nice location. I came with a party, and we had bottomless mimosas. There was a cool deal going on, and we all paid $20 for it & it was definitely worth it! I also got the Breakfast Skillet, and it was truly delicious. Tons of ingredients, super fresh, and super healthy. I loved every bit, and this place was great. The place had a bar, had places to sit/booths, and had standing room as well. I'd definitely come back! read more

Came here last night for their "unlimited beers and a burger for $25" deal. This place isn't my usual scene but wanted to check it out. The bar was really packed but we managed to be seated at the bar right at our reservation time. I was really impressed with the bartender, he'd instantly replace our corona with a new one the second we finished one. The burger and fries we got was pretty good too. Burger tasted fresh and had two patties, fries were waffle style and extra crispy. I forgot to take photos of the food/beer but did get a shot of the unique bathroom wallpaper. read more

The ceiling leaked on us on as we danced. Very disappointing. The brunch menu was really short and not diverse at all. I would rate the experience a 7.5 out of 10. Not the best brunch but not the worst. The DJ was absolutely great. read more

Although I have only been to The Dime once, it feels like I have been going a lifetime. The quality and price of the drinks are hard to beat. They also offer food! I recommend trying the wings, they were so delicious! :) And Jeremy.... A smile that shines so bright. The most talented mixologist in this establishment. His aura is so warm and friendly. Truly a staple in my experience at The Dime. I wish there was a Jeremy at every bar I went to! read more

Super fun and lively! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit! This is a great place to go with a group, especially for brunch! The music really hits the spot. They usually have a DJ in-house which makes you feel like you're in a section at a club, rather than a restaurant. They also have really great wings, so if you're looking to order non-brunch items, wait until after 3PM (at least that's what I was told). Great location, so definitely make reservations if you're looking to go! read more

Fantastic burger and bottomless beer deal in Fridays for only $25! Would recommend for a fun night out with friends.

I will never back to this place after me and friends spent over $400 at this establishment, they wouldn't allow us to sit at the bar to finish our drinks even though there were seats available. There was definitely some micro aggressions going on. read more

I've been to The Dime multiple times now and I can say with full confidences that this is one of my favorite bars in Lincoln Park. My first time here was for Trivia Night on a Wednesday. When I first walked I was greeted by everyone and the manager Bill. Everyone was extremely nice and seemed to love their job. I was seated pretty quickly, immediately served water and was given menus. The bartenders and servers were attentive and provided good recommendations when I had any questions. I've been here for Saturday brunch, and the food that was provided were well cooked and tasteful. We also got a free shot from the manager after the football game. I would come here if you're looking to sip on good drinks and watch sports. read more

It's cool for a small date quick bite or drinks not to big on the hangover nachos looked how they tasted like shit the drink was overly sweet like dam is it punch or liquor. It's football Sunday I came for the wing promotion and I was told they don't start til 3 they should make that clear I left the food and drink there full DEFINITELY WOULDN'T recommend ... best thing about this place was the beautiful waitress read more

I was here for a friends brunch and was extremely disappointed, we waited almost 3 1/2 hours for food. Once we got our food we all became extremely ill! The food looked nothing like the pictures at all. Not to mention it said brunch ended at 8pm on Sunday's but the kitchen closed before 3pm. How can you all continue to run like this? This was ridiculous. I'll bever return. read more

Came here to watch the Super Bowl. Bought a table ($60 a person). I can understand that they were understaffed, but our waitress was just standing around a lot of the time. Figured out later that a 20% tip was already included in our bill. Made a lot of sense since the service was shitty. Don't come here if it's crowded, the servers make money off u either way. read more

Came for Sunday brunch. Got here around noon, it was bottomless mimosas or bellinis and brunch for around $35. The deal was pretty good, the food not so much... Got the chicken and waffles both were passable... This place did become more lively later on, and eventually became pretty packed. I can appreciate the vibe they are trying to create here. Music is blasted, gorgeous servers. Unfortunately execution is a little off for sunday brunch with the food and service lacking..I prb would come back at night though... read more

First we had reservations which when we arrived we didn't have a table and had to wait over 20 minutes finally got a table had to basically tap the waiter on the shoulder for service. Horrible service at that . Had to ask for water and she acted as if we were bothering her to do her job. Finally was able to order food . Ordered the sliders which comes with fries . Fries were old and cold which I don't know how or why when they kitchen just "opened ". (They have some stupid closing for like 45min at 3 to 4) also ordered quesadillas which they must had to go get the ingredients from the store because it's took an extra 20 minutes to get. Had to ask for napkins. Guess we were supposed to wipe our mouths on our shirts . Just overall horrible experience. Wait take that back the bartender was amazing. On top of that they automatically add 20%. read more
