1. Athenian Room
Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 348-5155
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Lincoln Park, DePaul
I tried some of my friend's gyro & it tasted the same as any other gyro I've had.
This place only gets two stars because the lady at the front desk was so rude and because this place doesn't have a washroom. The lady told me the place was closed when…More »
2. The Bongo Room
Chicago, IL 60622

Categories:
American (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
Every time I go here, every table is full & the food is absolutely delish! I usually order the sweeter breakfast (pancakes topped with melted white chocolate & a graham cracker crust, for instance). The menu changes every season, I believe. They…More »
3. Chinese Palace Restaurant
I usually order the lunch special, because the price is right, it comes with an egg roll & drink. Unfortunately, they are not open on Mondays, but it seems a lot of Chinese places are the same way. There are a couple small tables inside, but this is…More »

Lounges
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
Probably wouldn't go here if it wasn't for my friend working here, but it is a really unique & eclectic place. The liquor they have behind the bar is most likely liquor you've never heard of. They use a lot of exotic flavors. One shot we got had an…More »
5. Durty Nellie's
The thing I like most about Nellie's is the extensive beer menu! And I like that the bartenders always have good suggestions when I ask; they'll even give several free tastes of the ones on tap. I really like their 'pokey sticks' (garlic bread with…More »
6. El Charro
Of course, I'm a fan of any food place open past 2 a.m. for the mere purpose of serving us lushes after a long night of drinking. Place was dead, but what do you expect at some divey, small mexican joint that late at night? I ordered queso fundido,…More »
7. El Torero Restaurant
Holy guacamole, this place really hit the spot. We bought a Groupon and called ahead to see if they would honor it the same day we paid for it (some Groupons are mailed to you and you have to wait until you receive it), which they did. The food was…More »
8. Emmett 's Tavern & Brewing Co

Great beer, two outdoor patios (one with a fire pit) & pretty good food. I like going on nights when they have deals ($3 pints on Tuesdays, half price Emmett's pitchers on Thursdays). The turkey burger, Kobe burger with melted brie & carmelized onion…More »
9. Gianni's Cafe
Probably one of the best places to get pasta in the northwest suburbs! I'm melting just thinking about their pasta sauces, err, gravies.
Tried a couple of their house pastas at a party once that had the food catered and really liked it. We also had…More »
10. Goose Island Wrigleyville
Chicago, IL 60657
(773) 832-9040
Categories:
Gastropubs,
Breweries
Neighbourhood: Lakeview
I liked the mood in this bar, the big windows revealing their own brewery, the beer & that there is a room in back where bands play. We had Demolition, Pepe Nero & Bourbon Blueberry Imperial Stout; all very yummy. The food is pretty good, too.
11. Hala Kahiki
Finally, a bar that makes me feel like I'm on vacay! This place totally makes me feel like I'm in the '70s. So many tropical, hawaiian decorations. Low light atmosphere & a lot of space; you wouldn't really think it's so spacey from looking at it…More »
12. Hollywood Grill
Chicago, IL 60622

Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
Always satisfying after a long night of drinking, and conveniently located near the highway, which is on the way home for me. Menu is huge, so it's near impossible to not find something you like. I almost flipped when I saw banana Nutella crepes;…More »
13. Houlihan's - CLOSED
Been here about three times. All the food I've had was good & the service as well. It's really beneficial to sign up for their text deals because they send a lot & you can get a lot of free food that way. Conveniently located on the same plot as the…More »
14. The Lucky Monk
South Barrington, IL 60010

Categories:

ordered the flight of beer, which included six Lucky Monk brews. I liked the amber style ones and the stout was ok.
also ordered the Trappist Trio, which was good.
I like the decor of the place. I would go back, especially to try seasonal brews.
15. Moto
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 491-0058
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Fulton Market, Near West Side, West Loop
One of my favorite restaurants. A unique twist on dining that you're most likely not used to. The chef is a former chemist, I believe, who uses carbon dioxide to carbonate fruit & other weird techniques. For instance, the menu is edible. This…More »
16. Nikko Sushi Bar
Arlington Heights, IL 60005

Categories:

Excellent sushi & free mini courses! They bring you a free bowl of soup, mini salad, beef appetizer and mini dessert in between ordered courses. We ordered an agadeshi tofu appetizer and the beauty combo; it included three maki rolls. One was tempura…More »
17. Pinstripes
went on a Wednesday; wish I would have gone on a Thursday for $3 drinks. two Fat Tires were $12, I believe & two mixed drinks were $14.
played two games of bowling after 9 pm. cost $12 for two of us including shoes. I appreciated the comfy sofa we had…More »
18. Rosebud Old World Italian
Went on date to this location just once, but have been to the Rosebuds on Taylor Street & Rush St in Chicago. The food is always good & they give pretty generous portions. Our waiter was very helpful & professional & didn't mind altering a food…More »
19. Thai Thai Restaurant
Food was pretty good, but the waitress messed up my order and I had to wait while my friends had their meals. My friend ordered the Rainforest Mate tea, which sounded really good, but I didn't get a chance to try it.
When we went (for lunch), the…More »
20. Tokio Pub
went on a friday night, especially for the costume contest
cons:
* washroom is very far; you have to walk through Shaw's, then through a lobby, up the stairs and down another hallway. waaay inconvenient.
* waitress didn't know about the $3 beer special…More »
21. Tokio Sake Japanese Restaurant
Cute little Japanese restaurant, somewhat hidden in the Deer Park mall over near the theater. We were a little rushed considering we a bit under an hour to get in & out. Waitress was very nice & friendly. Props to her after we ordering a combo &…More »
22. Union Pizzeria
How convenient to go see a local show & then be able to grab some grub & maybe another drink or two without having to set foot outside afterwards!
Union Pizzeria is the front store of Evanston's S.P.A.C.E. music venue. They are physically connected,…More »
23. Westwood Tavern
We normally go on Wednesdays, when martinis are $5. There are deals everyday of the week. Great beer selection; they don't just have your normal selection you see everywhere. There are about 50 different brews to choose from. The table taps are also…More »
