I woke up craving mimosas... but not just one, ALL OF THEM! Lol, so you know that means I need bottomless mimosas. Well, look no further than this place! $15.00 for their brunch bottomless mimosas. They were so good too. The 3 of us sipped away on those while watching some March Madness action. I also ordered the South Loop Scramble which is practically an omelette filled with whatever you want topped with shredded cheddar cheese all over a fluffy Belgian Waffle. It was delightful and filling. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure that we had whatever we needed. I loved the nautical-themed decor inside with the big leather couches and wooden chairs. We also met Mark, the owner of the establishment who was very awesome. He helped make the eating experience a good one. read more

My favorite bar in Chicago! Highly recommend to anyone in the south loop; great affordable drinks and awesome service

Loved it here! Made great adjustments with Covid to make sure guests are safe. Food was great, server was friendly and on the ball. Cozy south loop bar. Perfect hangout spot. read more

Waitress/Server was not helpful when I explained I wasn't able to use the QR code. She simply walked away when I told her and then came back and asked me what I wanted to order. Service here has always been spotty and I would give the business a 5/10 for service. read more

Really fun place to have a casual drink and the food is surprisingly good.

This bar is a neighborhood staple. They have incredible wings, and their owner is a great guy. Always good vibes - definitely a spot worth checking out. read more

Have frequented this place (as it is local and convenient) for 15 yrs. Typical frozen / prepared pub food , not fresh. Back in the day they used to have great daily deals/specials and groups of us used to go weekly. Would love to see this place have a "restaurant rescue." The location is great for south loopers, I think this place could get a ton more business if they were to revamp menu sourcing (change form the typical frozen burgers, chicken and fries). Or at least have fresh cut fries, the staple. Fresh fish for fish fry WOULD bring us back every Friday, hint hint. Service is REALLY inconsistent--servers seem to be covering whole restaurant --dining and bar. Thought they would have a system figured out in 15 yrs. i do ask myself why we keep going back (less and less frequently now)--really just convenience and it beats fast food, marginally. More of a watering hole for beer with your bros. The positive is that they do have kids menu for families in the neighborhood, so very convenient when you don't want to cook. I just wish owners would really invest in great servers (or provide training) and work on a great menu, you already have the location and plenty of potential customers. read more

Absolutely love this place! The bottomless mimosas and beignets make Weather Mark one of my favorite brunch spots. I've tried just about everything on their brunch menu and have loved it all. The eggs Benedict and skillets are especially delicious! read more

The first thing you notice here is the fun and nautical inspired atmosphere. Loved the decor and the sails, the bar is also a really good size. I got the Friday night special which was the All you can eat Fish, these filets were so tasty and cooked perfect! I could only eat one plate since the portions were very generous!! However I wasn't impressed by the service we got, not sure if it's because we're not locals but it took awhile for anyone to even come give us menus and notice we were there. Overall the food is good and the drinks were too. read more

I have frequented weathermark many times. It was much better before the pandemic. Today I ordered a hamburger which was quite tasty, but it was cold and a bit stale. It would have helped to grill the hamburger bun. The tea was terrible. It had a metal taste to it and when I asked for a new glass of tea the waitress accommodated me but the tea tasted even worse. The best part of this experience today were the waitress staff. They were very polite and accommodating and made every effort to make sure we had a good experience. Yes, they can improve on certain aspects of the food and drink and hopefully that will be different the next time I go. read more

Jeannie an Danny S. We really enjoyed Weather Mark. It was our first time , we were there over Mothers Day weekend and had a delicious brunch...The Crab Cakes Benedict was fabulous as well as the hot amazing beignets... The endless Mimosas hit the spot. The owner Mark, came over to our table to greet us and make sure everything was perfect. The wait staff was friendly and we were served quickly. We can't wait to go back!! read more

The Weather Mark is still a somewhat unknown South Loop treasure. First off, and this is a big point...the kitchen is open to midnight, every night! On top of that, the food is both interesting and quite good. Second, they have great specials throughout the week, such as Monday's $5 burger and a pint ('domestic' only, I'm afraid), and Tuesday's $0.25 wings. Otherwise, they have a friendly atmosphere, a nautical theme, with a huge selection of rums, and a friendly staff. On the downside the service can be a bit slow, but let's face it...if you find yourself in the South Loop after 10pm...you haven't got a lot of food options, and this is a terrific neighborhood option all day long anyway. read more

Downgraded to ONE star. It's a sad day, Yelpers. I REALLY thought this would become a favorite after-work spot of mine. Let's discuss... Thumbs Up: *Monday's special - $6 for burger (two toppings) and pint *Easy street parking Thumbs Down: *Took the bartender approximately 5 minutes to even notice me (even though there were ONLY 4 other people sitting at the bar with me) *Took the bartender 10 minutes to take my order (even though I made eye contact with her twice and smiled as a way to motion I was ready) *Spinach and artichoke dip was TRAGIC. A lukewarm, liquid, soupy mess. It also tasted nothing like spinach, artichoke OR cheese. And...inedible. The menu listed this as $9. (Hello, highway robbery.) *Bartender basically threw the plate of dip at me. Never bothered to check in on me after that. Awesome. Thumbs WAAAY Down: *Bartender #1's shift was over, so Bartender #2 might have been able to save this experience for us. (Ha, who am I kidding?!) *Bartender #2 basically ignored me while I tried to get her attention to ask for the bill. We made eye contact....and she looked away and continued her convo with the gentlemen at the end of the bar. *FINALLY asked her for our bill, but she basically looked annoyed and surprised because she didn't know if Bartender #1 ever charged us. (She hadn't, of course.) *Took my bill and the card, but decided to stand and talk to the couple at the OTHER end of the bar. (Ummm, helllo? We wanted to get out of that place ASAP! Just run my charges!) We never even got so far as to order the burger special 'cuz we didn't want to stay here any longer than we had to. I don't like pulling the race card, but I'll do it when I feel it's applicable. This is one of those times. It's funny that every other patron in here was Caucasian and they all seemed to be receiving great service. However, throw two Asian girls in here and we're free to be ignored and treated like sh*t? I don't think so. I'll take my business to more welcoming South Loop businesses from now on. Boycott on. read more

Went here last night just for some drinks and appetizers. The food was really good. I am obsessed with wings but usually don't trust places that aren't focused only on wings. However, theirs were really good. Got a few cheap beers and my girlfriend got some mixed drink. Overall good food(we got two aps) and my girlfriend said her mix drink was really good. Will definitely be going back. read more

As someone who lives in the soutloop, I think this bar is a great spot and option for a weeknight drink or dinner. It is all nautical themed inside with big sails and random other sea and ocean decor which I think marks this place literally in weather and theme which I love. They have a big menu and specials every day and this place also does pub trivia if you like trivia as much as I do. The big win for me was their loaded tater tot nachos and their skillet chocolate chip cookie. There are those comfort foods in life, and those two things are definitely very high up there on my list of great bar food options. Both were very large portions so Emily S. and I had some trouble finishing them both, but we put in all our effort to try and give those tots and cookie their last hurrah. The service was a little slow here on a weeknight and this place wasn't that crowded either, but overall this is a decent spot to stop by if you are in this area. Definitely better than I thought it would be and it is across from Vice so a mini bar crawl makes this location even better! read more

Weather Mark had us riiiiiiiight up until the end when we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. More on that later. We went there for eats one night and the Vikings game a few nights later. Plenty of televisions, places to sit, clean bathrooms, etc. Nice servers and bartenders. Oh, and free WiFi. The wings are delicious, it's true, but they're not very big n' meaty (10 per order). Buffalo aren't too terribly spicy, the honey BBQ the better of the two (and I don't even really like sweet wings). Beer specials are things like $4 bottles, $15 buckets of domestics, the usual. The spinach and artichoke dip however, I'm going with a solid "not again" on that. Runny and reminiscent of Kraft white cheddar mac n' cheese in flavor. Luckily we were there on a half-priced appetizer night and that was about the only way we were ok with having ordered and eaten it. Also, heads up, Thursday night is Team Trivia night and if you're trying to watch a game just know that the trivia emcee will be talking louder than anything and the sound will be off until they're done. read more

Took a walk from my hotel through the charming neighborhood of brownstones to get to the Weather Mark on a Sunday afternoon. They were having a special on bottomless mimosas - so, I had to do that! At the waitress recommendation I had the cheese curds and a kale salad with salmon. The curds were great: fresh, squeaky, not greasy but I barely made a dent as it was an appetizer big enough for a crew. The kale Caesar salad was made special with the addition of lime nuts and shaved Parmesan. Really good and the pine nuts went so well with the kale I've been stealing this idea for my own kale salads at home. The salmon was perfectly cooked, simply seasoned but surprisingly good in its simplicity. I had attentive service that included several refills on my mimosa. Worth the walk! I would definitely return here. read more

all right, went back and will upgrade you WMT. Funny how when a place is not overrun and overwhelmed it can be a far better experience. read more

"The foods here is very poor and the service is indifferent or bad. Perhaps if you have low expectations and live close, it's worth it, but other wise avoid it." Unknown K, I couldn't agree more, but I can add more. This place, in a word, sucks. Sucks rotten eggs and bad fruit. We went there once and will never ever set foot in Weathermark again. Aside from the service being poor and slow, my husband and I were the victim of the "bill switch." We were there on a sleepy (and I do mean sleepy) Saturday night, the night before Easter, to have a few drinks. Aside from the 7 or 8 other scattered patrons the only other bodies belonged to a private party of about 10. We had 2 drinks each and decided to leave because the waitress behind the bar was overly preoccupied with the middle-aged Eurotrash sitting next to us. She made us start a tab and leave our credit card with her even though the place was virtually empty. We paid for our 4 drinks, which came to about $30, took our card and receipt, and left. What a surprise we had the next day. Long story short: they charged US for the party of 10, and switched the bill. I suppose it was an accident, although I'm not sure how it happened with only a handful of patrons, but suffice to say we weren't happy to have a $600+ charge on our credit card. We immediately called WM and were told that the manager wasn't in because it was Sunday, so we'd have to call back on Monday...huh? I told them that was absolutely not going to happen, and they were going to correct their mistake immediately. We walked over and they removed the charge, and barely muttered an apology. The manager did call us 2 days later, and basically had an "eh, it happens" attitude. Eh, your place sucks. read more

So a few of us had some grand plans to make the trek up to Evanston to hit up Buffalo Joe's. We're kind of chicken wing connoisseurs and haven't been up there yet. Our plans fall through, but we still have a taste for chicken wings. Being in the sloop area already, we find that this place has $.50 wings (since when was that such a good deal?) on Tuesday nights. Perfect, it's Tuesday. We walk over and it's a nice looking place, comfy looking couch/loungy setup to the right, and standard pub tables and stools to the left. There were some weird fabric sails that separated the groups of couches, reminded me of the interior of a Great Clips, which probably isn't a good thing? We seat ourselves and are given menus. We order a round of beers and decide to get a bunch of wings and some sides/appetizers. That was when things turned bad. I don't think any one thing came out _good_. I can't say that the food wasn't good, I imagine the wings would have been significantly better if they weren't cold, even though the sauces were all a little saltier than I would have liked. Somewhere in there, my friend convinced us to reconsider the amount we plan to tip at the end of the meal. Leaving a tiny tip is hard for some of us to do, but we managed. He had a good point, almost all the issues were service related, slow/cold food, forgotten drinks, forgotten dipping sauces. I understand that the kitchen may have made a special order food incorrectly, but the server should notice those things as they're running the food. The food is ok at best, while the service is sub par. read more

I work in the restaurant industry, and refrain to complaining since I understand how demanding and stressful the service industry can be. However, there are two major issues with this place: 1. Service Hours (both company website and yelp) display open until 2:00 am Monday through Thursday; however, Last call was announced at Midnight on Monday --- Four of us order a round of drinks after "LAST CALL" was announced and the specials were read. 2. Right after taking the four drinks order, waitress provided the check within minutes of delivering the drinks and followed up after 10 minutes with a "You guys have five minutes" -- followed this she started to unprofessionally share her frustration with other customers closed enough we could hear using profane words. At this point, I turned around and stated "That's not nice" and invited my friends to leave. This is not the way any customer should be treated for any reason. In the service industry, we aim to provide an experience that invites the customer to come back. Unfortunately, this experience not only provided a bad local feel of what we are in Chicago but invited me to prevent others from this experience. read more

Aye' matey, shiver me timbers, no scalleywags here, just me jacks and lasses ready to be loaded to the Gunwales. What am I trying to say you might ask? Well, I really enjoyed the place! The atmosphere was laid back and yet sophisticated in a piratey ship type of way. As a bonus, the food was good and the drinks were strong. Yea, I will be coming back to see my fellow wenches take the helm. I'm shovin' off til next time! read more

If you can get over the cheesy and overdone nautical theme, it's a decent neighborhood pub, and the pickins' are kind of slim for those of us in the South Loop. Drinks were reasonably priced, but the tots that everyone talks about were more overwhelming than tasty. I mean, they are tots smothered in a bunch of crap, but that doesn't make it cheap culinary genius. On a Saturday night, the place was about half full. Easy enough to sit at a table and chill with a good conversation, but the loud techno music gave almost a pseudo-club feel. Identity crisis of some sort, I suppose. They do carry a lot of 3 Floyds beer, including Zombie Dust, but for the love of God, take it off the menu if you don't currently have it, and I quote the server "haven't for a long time." You'll break a girl's heart. read more

Dear Weather Mark, we love you. It's the quintessential neighborhood bar, but with a nice, calming atmosphere and above-average bar food. Love the sailing inspired decor of the place... there are giant sails separating the booths and a giant action shot of some competitive sailing above the bar. As we saw the owner, Mark, on a sailing club boat last year on the Fourth of July for the fireworks, that's no doubt where the inspiration for the bar comes from. The bartenders and waitstaff are all incredibly friendly and the service is great... Mark is also around constantly and always stays to chat with the regulars on a first-name basis. Now, a double plus are the food/drinks. The beer on tap is the most crisp and clean tasting that we've had in the city... we've seen the lines for the beers on tap being cleaned twice already the past year. We remarked something to that effect to one of the bartenders, and he informed us that even the beer vendors tell them that they're lines are the cleanest they've seen. That's always a good sign! We love love love the buffalo wings Weather Mark has (our favorite wings anywhere!), and the sweet potato fries are a must also. Definitely go on Tuesdays where they have 50 cent wings. Have never tried their entrees, but they look to be delicious and a cut above regular bar food. Perfect neighborhood bar for a relaxed evening with friends or family. Definitely not the your typical loud and bustling bar scene though, so don't go there if you're expecting a hell-raising night! read more

Can't really think of anything that was a positive about Weather Mark Tavern except they will reserve tables for you if you have a large group. Came here for a social function and the food and service were both lackluster. Ordered a variety of appetizers - the wings and buffalo shrimp were fine but orders were very small. Someone ordered the spinach and cheese dip, which was an absolute joke. It looked like someone had opened a can of condensed cream of broccoli soup and put it in a bowl. The dip was thin, lumpy, and lacking in flavor. And they served it with bagged tortilla chips - seriously? Drinks seemed pretty normal, except they were out of their monthly beer special (312) a few hours before a Bears game. Great way to plan ahead. When I asked if they were substituting another beer, the waitress said "Miller LIte." Since those are both on the same level, okay. Service was very poor. My friend gave our waitress money and needed change. She waited at least 30 minutes to get that change. At this point the bar was getting pretty busy, but all bars should be ready for Chicago football season. I'm interested in checking out more of the neighborhood, but don't expect to ever find me going back here. read more

Probably one of the best neighborhood bars in the South Loop. Great to go for games, trivia and if you just want to grab a quick burger and a brew. Food - Pretty good. Very affordable. On Monday, they have a burger and beer combo for $7 so I'd recommend that. They also take pride in their tator tots so if you are a fan of those, load them up. But they have specials for everyday of the week so you can likely find the day that works best for you Drinks - Same. Affordable especially given the location. Bartenders and wait staff are really cool people. Cool, calm atmosphere. Definitely would go again. read more

Love this place - nice atmosphere, good drinks, and good food. The service was good and I love the varied menu. Everyone at our table loved their burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Plus, you have your pick of table types...normal tables, hi boys with chairs, and low couches with tables too. The nautical theme is understated and fun, not slap you in the face, which I appreciate. This is a great place to have dinner with friends or after work drinks. I'll definitely be going back. read more

This place is horrendous! My husband and I used to live a few doors down so after it opened we were determined to make it our neighborhood haunt. Well, years later and after dozens of visits this place still sucks as bad as it did the first day it opened. We are seriously shocked that it some how manages to stay in business. I don't even know where to start! The food is terrible, the bartenders are obnoxious, the waiters are horrible, and worst of all the managers are the rudest of the bunch!!!!! Honestly don't waste your time or money, head north a block and go to Grace O'malleys!! Ps if you want more reviews of this place look up Weathermark Tavern, the bars real name. read more

Having 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust, in the world of me, guarantees three stars. I've only been here for lunch but love the speedy service and the sweet young woman behind the bar. She's helped me a couple times and is very nice. Star added for her. Finally, the food. I'm eating the chicken tortilla soup as I write this and am loving it! I'm also a huge fan of fish tacos, and theirs aren't too bad! One more star added for the food (not the best, but for a bar, it's good and I'm not a foodie). Only place I go for lunch now in the South Loop. I've lived here for two years and any believe I didn't start coming in sooner. I guess better now than never. TIME TO DRINK! read more

Not a fan. Husband ate there. 10.97 bill. Tipped 1.73, he said service sloooow. And when we got credit card bill, total was for 12.97. Somehow the tip was increased to 2.00. My my. Yes it is only 27 cents. But that 27 cents is symbolic. Caveat emptor. read more

After becoming a "regular" at Weathermark, I had to come back and update my review. Perfect spot to frequent to watch sports, chat with the amazing staff (seriously, they make this place so welcoming), and hang out with friends. They have great drink deals, really solid food, and a super comfy atmosphere. I can't leave the south loop because I would absolutely miss this spot too much. If you are in the area, stop by and meet the bartenders and the owner and probably me. read more

Food? Pretty good. The striking thing about this place is the confusion in decor. It is supposed to be sailing themed but there are no real "relics" that you would expect to find in a bar called "Weathermark Tavern". There are a few model boats shoved on top of the food prep area-they could have done marvelous things with old ship's bells, navigation lights, netting. Even if they wanted to do the sail-racer theme, they could've done kevlar covered chairs and alot of stainless cable. It is just mind-bogglingly thematically confused. The entrance looks like an office building. Very sterile and cold. The best thing? The servers and bartenders and cooks. They were all charming and extremely sweet and helpful. They just need a decorator to come in and really give it a personality. Or, take away the theme altogether. read more

They had bottomless mimosas for Sunday brunch and TVs on for March Madness. Enough Said. The food is decent but not my fave. It's a good neighborhood spot to pop into every now and again. In terms of service... it got better. When I first arrived and was waiting on my friends I asked to put the basketball game on one of the TVs. You would have thought I asked for open heart surgery (but who would ask for that anyway!) because it took attempts by two different servers and about a 15 minute wait before making it happen. After we got settled in though, our server was nice and once she realized we were serious about our bottomless mimosas she finally just left a carafe at our table (my friend had to ask but still... she obliged). read more

The Weather Mark is a pretty decent south loop bar with all of your bar food standards. Decorated in a nautical theme they have a regular bar, table top seating, comfy leather seating along a wall (separated by sailboat sails) and TVs for your sports fix. I went on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised with their 1/2 off appetizers. Me and a friend ordered buffalo wings, quesadillas, potato skins and a few drinks. We were greeted immediately by the manager to take our orders since a waitress wasn't available at the moment. The staff was friendly and are food came out pretty quickly (it was piping hot and slightly overlooked). Overall nothing special about this bar but I would go back and catch a few games and get a few drinks if I was in the area. Definitely think it is a plus that they have the weekly specials! read more

Just okay. Came here on a Thursday. Asked to sit at a table that was marked 'Reserved' to have a modicum of privacy from other diners. Normally, I wouldn't ask, but the restaurant had multiple tables and booths open, and this was just a regular two top table, nothing special. The busser, doubling as a hostess was shut down by the waitress, and refused to seat us there, so we were sat in between two other tables not spaced apart at all, and able to hear every intricacy of their conversations. For some reason, whomever was managing that night had our waitress serving a wedding party in the back, and three regular table in the front. Which meant the busser dropped waters off immediately, but then we were not greeted by the waitress until about 10 minutes after being sat. Either the waitress was rude, or overworked, or both, because when we were greeted, it wasn't really warm or inviting, just "Do you know what you want to drink?" in a very flippant tone. When I ordered a vodka club soda, she for some flashed me this weird, quasi-dirty look. Uh, alright. Food was ordered. Ordered a burger without a bun, medium rare. Food took quite some time, and was cooked well-done. I didn't send it back as I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for the kitchen to make a new plate. Once we got our check, we realized that our call drinks (Vodka Club Soda, and a Gin and Tonic) were poured with top shelf liquor, which is absolutely bogus. Call-drinks at any bar are poured with well/rail, or at the very least, the waitress should ask for liquor preference. What should have been a 5/6 dollar cocktail, became an 8 dollar cocktail. I'm not going to lose my shit over 2 bucks, but this is also a bullshit move by the waitress to pump up the check amount. Overall, there are better options with better food and better service in the South Loop. I appreciate a good neighborhood dive bar, but this place left a really bad taste in my mouth. Also, that 'Reserved' table? Was not sat in the 90 minutes we were there. read more

The Weather Mark is a great neighborhood bar and compared to the options one the best in the area. Food and drink prices are reasonable and the staff is always moving fast to serve the patrons. If you are disappointed here it's because you choose to be. No secret that it's bar food and great drinks here. It's clean, honest, safe and great people. I could say a lot more, but let me some it up with this is an awesome place to visit! read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In a sentence: Cute, sailing-themed bar in the South Loop that's never full of d-bags or the like. The food is mediocre and the service is fine, but if a cheap beer and bomb sweet potato fries are your thing, then this is the place. They have some games inside to keep you entertained and a bottomless mimosa brunch special to ... keep you entertained. read more

I have such mixed feelings about this place. I have been there probably 5-10 times now and it is a good place to go grab a beer and dinner if you aren't looking for anything too fancy. Overall, I thought it was a pretty decent place until an experience we had recently. It was probably one of the most atrocious dining experiences I have ever had. We went on a Sunday evening around 5:00 pm after a day of shopping, and it was pretty dead. My boyfriend and I ordered beers off of their menu, and were informed that they didn't have what we wanted - which was fine, we finally picked others that were available. When the beers arrived, my boyfriends beer was not the one he had ordered, but the waitress (who was super nice) owned up to accidentally ordering the wrong beer and brought the right one quickly. Not a big deal (plus, she let us keep the misordered beer, which I got to drink)! I could've brushed that off easily, but this is the part where it really goes downhill - we ordered our food and everything seemed good for about 10 ish minutes after our order, until our waitress came back and told me that they did not have any wraps for the buffalo chicken wrap I had ordered. Again, no biggie, I am in the hospitality industry and I get it -- I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza. About 2-3 minutes after I put in the updated order for my dinner, my boyfriends Burger came out. He tried waiting for my food to come out, but finally gave up after about 10 minutes. I kept waiting for my pizza, which arrived about 15ish minutes after his burger came out. When I finally received the pizza, I was pretty excited, took a bite and realized that they had made the pizza with the correct buffalo chicken toppings (carrots, celery, chicken, etc) -- but they had used marinara sauce...which doesn't go well with crunchy veggies. Our waitress checked with the kitchen, and they did make it wrong. She offered to drizzle buffalo sauce on top, but, since I wasn't loving the combo of marinara and carrots/celery I opted to have them make another pizza to go, which took another 20 minutes. When it boils down to it, our waitress was great and none of it was her fault. She handled it really well. But, it was such a mind blowing disaster - and I still paid full price for the pizza (I tried to eat it at work the next day, and it was pretty gross). The only positive was I got a pretty nice buzz off of my beers since my food didn't work out. All in all, I am not sure if I think it will go back - which is a bummer because how close it is to my boyfriends apartment. Just such a weird chain of events. read more

A few weeks ago I was in Chicago for a conference. It was a dark and stormy Monday night and five conference participants and myself set out from an overcrowded and overpriced happy hour in search of a place to eat, drink, and be merry. We stumbled upon Weather Mark Tavern and had such a great experience I vowed to write a review that would help the Tavern stay in business for many years to come so I can make a pilgrimage there whenever I visit. So, here goes: Everyone in our group took advantage of the Monday night deal where $7 gets a beer and a burger (including non-beef options). Compared to the $7 for a beer alone we paid at our original bar just a little ways north, this was a fantastic deal that reminded us Minnesotans and Wisconsinites of places back in our home states. The waitress was very prompt and friendly and didn't mess up a thing despite our six seperate checks and her other tables. The atmosphere was relaxing, with just the right balance between empty and packed and very comfortable seating. If I ever move to Chicago, I could see this place being my neighborhood pub. read more

Deducting one star because they don't offer a vegan breakfast option (a tofu scramble would be nice...they carry all of the ingredients to make it) I'd LOVE to be able to go here for b-fast! My bf and I just stumbled upon this place today...it rocks! They have several vegan & vegetarian options and a great beer selection. I guess they make their own vegan dressing too, nice! There is outdoor seating and really cool large couches/chairs along the wall. Overall: Nice atmosphere, really good food, outdoor seating and good beer, need I say more? There are a lot of flat screen TV's, juke box and I saw a couple dining outdoors with their dog so it's pet friendly too! I'm really glad we found this place and are able to walk here. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more
