I stopped in to meet a friend for a quick drink and chat. I hadn't patronized this place since October 2019 but I remember my experience being pleasant. Thursday is trivia night. The music was extremely loud and overwhelming. The trivia host was yelling. At times, my friend and I were struggling to hear each other which resulted in us yelling. It was the worst. I won't return. read more

Went here for brunch the other day. Nothing too special. In my opinion, $18 is way too much for bottomless mimosas because there are so many better brunch and bottomless places in River North and West Loop. I got the crab cake Benedict, which came out pretty cold. The server was nice, but as a whole, it was an okay experience. The restaurant did seem a little dirty and the restroom was in terrible condition. read more

Great spot for a sports bar/quick bite. Surprisingly delicious food! We will be coming back for the salads/wraps and those pretzel bites. Yumm! read more

Really enjoy this neighborhood bar. The pretzel bites keep me coming back. They also have a $25 bottomless mimosa deal. The bartender was super attentive and kept the mimosas flowing. Five stars! read more

I've been here a few times for meals. They were decent. Nothing special and not terrible. However, the service has never been great. The last time I went (and we will not return), we had some friends from out of town with us. We went to grab drinks. Everyone ordered (there were six of us) and each drink was terrible. When we were told the server she responded by saying "maybe we shouldn't we drink alcohol if we don't like the drinks." This was rude and embarrassing for our group. read more

Came here for trivia which was a good round of trivia. However, we were left unimpressed with the food (mostly average pub food) and the beer list was just average and not unique or creative. The staff were friendly enough, but the place is super loud and hard to hear people at your table, and hard to hear especially when trying to listen to the trivia host. I am not in a hurry to return unless someone I knew really wanted to meet there. read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is one of the best local spots in the south loop. They have a variety of ipas on tap with a host of other beer selections as well. The owner is often seen working late ensuring patrons are happy with the service. The food is also really good as the fried shrimp and buffalo wings have a light batter that doesn't make it feel like overly greased bar food. What really sells this place are the patrons that come here. Those sitting at the bar are typically regulars who have that midwestern friendliness; willingness to talk, compliment, and just chill after a long days' work. read more

Weather Mark Tavern - 1/2 lb Angus burger with lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions, and bacon. Wash it down with Stone Enjoy by 4/20. - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Excellent food and service. Portions were large for the price. Good value and great atmosphere!

this place could be fun...heck it is fun...i was really sticking to my diet last week on black Wednesday ..i was here eating wings and pizza with a friend...i know leaving no stone unturned. I would have enjoyed the wings more if they were not fried. though everything was reasonably priced...every 10 min the waitress asked me if I wanted something else...some people think that's too quick but hey at least the staff seems to be attentive read more

Poor service. Took very long to get food and waitress didn't check in nearly at all. The music was loud and made it hard to hear. Food is average. read more

Great food and service! Great happy hour and friendly service. Lots of different options for food- love the buffalo chicken wrap and the wedge salad. Great neighborhood bar! read more

Never again. Walked in at about 2:50pm. Asked to be seated for the Mimosa special. She said no, it ended at 3pm. Sis...its CLEARLY.....ANYWAY, we got our mimosas. Ok, cool. I ordered a fish & chips, and they served me...BS basically. One of the fish was over fried the other soggy! It was sent back and I certainly didn't want anything else. Except maybe a shot! We ordered a round from the bartender, who when serving it, pulled his mask down and SNIFFED the shot!..YES.. Lifted the glass to his nose, and SNIFFED!! I mean...COVID bruh. The bartender proceeded to get defensive and argumentative, yelling at us about wearing our masks when ordering from him. Mind you, just moments ago, my friend corrected our behavior to be safe and respectful. At this point, we've been so ignored by our waitress we didn't even recognize her when we finally tracked her down for the bill. She apologizes and tell us she works in fine dining in old town....YIKES!..Theres nothing more to be said at that point. My friend and I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years. She tried it. Save the weak and baseless excuses. And yes, we paid the bill ( as the waitress and bartender stood watching) and we tipped. If you're black, I would advise against a visit. read more

The appetizers my friend and I split were pretty good, and we loved the atmosphere for the Taylor Swift concert!

We came here before a Bears game. We were lucky that we arrived at 9:30 am and got a table. We also thought we would have to order lunch but found out we could order breakfast. The breakfast was good and many options. I would highly recommend coming here plus they have valet parking for $25 and you can leave your car during the game. It made for an easy venture to the Bears game. read more

This has been my pre-bears game go-to location for years. They open early on home bears game days and offer valet parking. I come for brunch and a few drinks and walk to the stadium. They have lots of TVs and is a fun nautical setting with a nice bar and an open air setting in the front when warm. My complaint is in the past the food was always quite good. This time the quality of the food really went down hill. I ate before and after the game. The breakfast skillet I ordered was almost all potatoes and cheese. They must have only used 1 egg and the tomatoes and onion i ordered to out in it were non-existent. I returned after the game and had a veggie burger. It came out cold and the cheese was unmelted. No-lettuce or tomato etc. I know they get busy on game days but the kitchen lacked effort. Hopefully they can get the food quality and portion control back to where it once was or it's time to find a new pre-game spot. read more

I've come here a couple times now, so I thought it appropriate to Yelp this place. I've only come here for drinks, but the service was always consistent and friendly. The decorations and lively ambiance drew us in the first time. We came back a second time because we just wanted to chill, relax, and have some bud lights. What better way to do that than in a nautical bar! Ample seating, so we got sat right away on weekend night. The drink menu consists of lots of options. I chose a Blackberry Crispen because I want something light. Great drink specials. There is always a line for the restroom when it gets busy. Great drink specials. Prime location and seating. Fun experience for casual and simple drinks!! read more

Great food, awesome service. Loved the St Paddy's day specials. Owner was a gem! Very flexible for our big group

Bottomless mimosas, and best of all, beignets! Go before 3pm to enjoy the freshly made beignets! read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Beignets for brunch - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pros: brunch bottomless mimosas, food, decor, service. Cons: can't think of any I can't believe I had not reviewed this place! I've been here a few times and I love it. Their bottomless mimosas on Saturday are a must. The place has sail decor, sails in between some tables, ropes and sailing portraits. Very lovely. The food menu has a lot of great options, the Santa Fe Skillet, the Crab Eggs Benedict, and the Chicken and Waffles are among my favorites. The side options are great too. My friends love the Buckeye looking pretzel bites. read more

This our neighborhood bar and tavern and also a popular sports bar in the S Loop. There is plenty of seating so unless the Cubs are in the World Series or the Bulls in the NBA Finals, you will still find a spot :). Pretty good beer selection on tap with several seasonal offerings. They have good and drink specials all week including $7 Burger & Pint night on Monday, half off regular prices. I have had a couple of their burgers and it's always been consistent and cooked how I like it, medium rare. Sweet potato fries are awesome and served crispy while the steak fries are not that great. read more

This place used to be good but it honestly sucks. With so many options in the neighborhood, you should seriously avoid this place. The food isn't that great, it really depends on what your order. I would frequent this bar a lot, even though the food and service sucks. The drinks are hit or miss, the one thing that is consistent is the whole bunch of ice they'll put in your drinks. In my experience, the owner and at least two of the waitresses are dishonest. All I can say is CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!!! There may be a few extra drinks or appetizer on your bill. This happened on 3 different occasions. After that I knew it wasn't an accident. The owner Mark is a prick, who says he likes feedback, but will whine like a little girl if the feedback isn't good. One more thing - MINORITIES ARE NOT WELCOMED!!! If you're a minority, go elsewhere, believe me. You will thank me. If you don't believe me go and find out. Again - there are so many other places nearby that you can go. Krolls, Victory Tap and Flo and Santos are my favorites. read more

The manager/owner was extremely racist towards our group. Accused us of things when we were completely minding our own business and not causing any issues. Looks like they do not want minorities coming to this place! Food is terrible, never going back!! read more

Typical American breakfast spot. Came here with the girlfriends, intrigued by their $25 bottomless mimosa special. Food is not the best I've had, compared to what I'm used to, and I'm a bruncher. The service was just okay as the server was new so she had to get used to being attentive to tables. The champagne they use for the mimosas threw me off, but we got tipsy nonetheless. If you do try the mimosas here, they have orange, cranberry and peach flavor. Peach mimosas are the best thing here. read more

Pretty neat spot with a cool nautical theme and some nice menu options. Two visits ago I had the Philly cheese steak, which I remember being a little disappointed by...I think it was that the food didn't come out as hot as expected. The last time I was there I had the fish and chips, which was really, really good. It came with two fairly big battered pieces of cod, some hot and crispy steak fries, a mound of coleslaw, and tartar sauce. The coleslaw ran around most of the plate, which would have been a problem if it tasted bad, but it tasted great. Would definitely order again, and/or go back for their all you can eat fish fry night. They have some nice looking salads too from what I could see at other tables. Also they have a few tables outside where you can sit with your dog, which is great, although it's not a huge space (3 somewhat tightly packed tables). They do seem pretty dog friendly though. read more

Good overall taste and didn't take long to come out. For ten dollars, I was expecting each of the 6 tenders to be larger than they were. If not, at least accompanied by a side, like fries. Good white meat and flavorful breading and offered an option for sauce on the tenders or on the side. read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Boneless Chicken Strips - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Whether or not you're trying to escape into the ocean blue, the Weather Mark Tavern will undoubtedly leave you with mixed reviews. Inside decor is screaming sail boat theme. On the right, worn out black couches rest endlessly down the wall which are divided by large triangular white cloths which are supposed to represent either the mainsail or the jib from a sailboat. Nearside the bar, larger tables are good for groups and break the uneasiness of having to choose from a couch. The walls are loaded with crooked pictures of sailboats and the ceiling has dangling lights which give the room a nice glow. While I can only speak for the appitizers, they were by far, very tasty. The tater tots were nicely fried and the pickles had a good crunch to them. The service is ran by young, college-aged women, who dash around trying to do their best. Our group of five only ordered one drink each, and she was very confused by the time made the beer made it to the table. The one thing I did notice, is that she managed to smile through the chaos. This stop was between our final destination, and I'm glad we had a chance to be part of the city's nightlife. Would recommend for a quick beer and a fried bite. read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I like this place, here's why: Very friendly and accommodating staff! The food was great! I had the firs pickles, and they may have been the best fries pickles I have had in Chicago! The sauce that came with it, was also AMAZING! Friends I came with got the hashes and they loved it as well. They also have bottomless mimosas for $15 during the weekend, which is a treat! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Waitress, sub waitress and manager were all impatient and rude. I noticed if a customer has an issue with the service or food they are deemed problematic patrons and every interaction after that point will be a negative one and was. Long story short when the waitress took our orders she did not ask us about any sauce options or mimosa flavors. She waked off so fast we could not tell her. Food came about 30 mins later with all option choices of the waitress meaning she gave us what she wanted us to have. We asked her to bring us the dipping sauces that we wanted, she brought the wrong sauces and had to go back again for the right sauces. 1 person changed their order and was very specific down to the sauces and the waitress still brought the wrong sauce so guess what.... She had to go and get the correct sauces. They have a chicken avocado roll that we ordered and there was no avocado in the rolls. I asked for a remake with avocado. We were waiting for 3 more people that came about 30 mins after us. They ordered their food and the waitress disappeared for about 20 mins after that. She did not check to see if we needed anything else. When she brought the second round of food 2 of the orders of boneless wings were cool to the touch, the remade chicken rolls were full of grease. The bottomless mimosas were not refilled for 45 mins because the waitress never checked or stayed in range long enough for us to let her know. The sub waitress got us a refill on the mimosas and immediately got agitated because I asked about the flavors that the original waitress never asked us about, she just brought us what she wanted us to have. I end up asking for the manager because I had had enough of the attitudes. The manager comes over and is the same way as the waitresses and so now I understand why they were acting like they were. The original waitress went and told the manager and other waitresses that OUR table was holding her up and that she no longer wanted the table. As I tried to explain to the manager why the waitress probably felt she was held up was because of her errors he kept cutting me off and I'm standing there trying to figure out when did customer service get so out of hand but then I had to think oh maybe its because we are a black family. I could not help but feel this way as I watched them service the other tables andthey did not interact with everyone else like they did with us and yes we were the only black family at a table. When they brought the bill they had charged us for an extra item and as I tried to explain this to the sub waitress she gets an attitude and walks off. The manager comes over and I had to explain to him that I was overcharged for a meal we did not order and at first he was not listening either until I told him to hold on and listen to what I am explaining. He apologized then and took the bill and adjusted it. Please keep in mind I NEVER NOT ONCE asked him for anything free and I was extremely dissatisfied with service that my family received from them. On top of that they put a 20% service charge (tip) on the bill. I told him Im sorry but I am not tipping her and I am a healthy tipper. I usually tip 25-40% depending on the bill, the service and the attentiveness of the server. If I know that we overwork a server because of an error on our behalf I am definitely overtipping. Make your own judgement. This was me and my family's experience here and I will never patronize this establishment again so we are 50-100 less people that they have to worry about servicing. Won't be back. Not picky patrons, just wanted food as requested. read more

#southloop great tavern food for 14 years and still open for delivery and pick up with the regular menu and some great quarantine specials like the one-stop for the whole family: pretzel bites, chicken tenders, Mac n cheese, 2 burgers w/fries, and a bottle of wine. They have grill kits too! Here are our grilling results -- totally delish! We love the food and the staff!!#supportlocal #southloopstrong read more

Weather Mark Tavern - Yummy thick Pork chop, amazing tender filet, incredible strip steak - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I usually stick around the lakeview/LP area for brunch but we ended up here because they were able to take a 30 person reservation! The staff was nice and very accompanying, they even offered to split checks! The deal was $15 bottomless mimosas with a brunch entree, pretty good price! I ordered the Santa Fe skillet ($13)....I love skillets! This was okay in terms of size and flavor. I think it could've used more cheese and chorizo but I don't really need that much food so maybe this was a blessing in disguise lol read more

This place has really gone downhill. Nothing in stock, food was really boring and definitely not as good as the past.

2.75 stars here (rounded up) I experienced the worst nachos of my life here during their half off appetizers night. I have never had nachos where you couldn't even pull them apart. They were stuck to the plate as well as stuck to each other. It was really like pulling teeth (not joking) to get the damn chips to relinquish its grip on one another. The salsa and peppers couldn't even help this situation. It was like I got the plate that was sitting there for an our and someone decided to overcook it in the microwave. Other than that I actually thought the place was really cool. I would try again but I know not to get the nachos. FYI...Thursday nights are trivia & 50% off appetizer nights. Nice sized place with TVs in the right places read more

As a "youngin" who's been in the working world for a year now, this place is fun, but only when I'm with the age-appropriate group. My coworkers range from 23-mid 30's and I'd say the crowd here hits the older end of that demographic. The first time I ended up here was at the very end of the night of my 21st birthday celebration with coworkers and I met some great characters. But on the weekends with my girlfriends, I'd say it'd be one of the last places we'd end up. One night, I walked in with a friend and not a single person in there was under the age of 30. We stuck out like sore thumbs and left after a few minutes of awkward staring. Not to be age-ist in any sort of way, but let's be honest, it's always more comfortable to be in a sea of people that aren't staring at you. Other than that, it seems to be your better-than-average locals bar, the decor is nice and the room is a really nice, open loft-like space with some decent deals on burgers and drinks and a sweet bartender who makes you wonderful grapefruit shots upon request - or your 21st birthday. But like I said before...it's a place I'd end up, not to start out. read more
