    Fun little bar with great outdoor seating! The beer is cold and the wrap would be on my weekly rotation if I lived here! Recommend checking this place out if you are in the area

    Expresso martini

    Went here for a quick happy hour and had a good time. It was not super crowded and I was able to get in and sit right away. My friend and I enjoyed green tea shots, the expresso martini, and cheese curds. It was all good, no complaints. The customer service was excellent as well. Will definitely stop in here again for a visit.

    Newley opened. Great drink selections and make sure you take advantage of their happy hour. There's also a full menu, this spacious restaurant a solid new addition. There is plenty of comfortable seating inside, plus a charming outdoor patio out front--perfect for soaking up good weather. The service is excellent and super friendly, even during busy happy hour rushes. A great casual spot to kick back with friends and enjoy food, drinks, and company.

    I checked out this new spot in River Noeth about a week and a half ago to watch some football on a Sunday. There are a lot of bars and places to watch football in this area, but this spot seems like it's a great one. First, the food was very good. I ordered the smashburger with tots, buffalo chicken wings, an espresso martini and a cookie skillet for dessert. I've had a lot of smashburgers and this is a very good one. The espresso martini measures up to anyone that I've had in any Chicago bar. The tots were hot and crispy and the chicken wings very good. The cookie skillet is a a must order for dessert. I loved the ambiance. It's a pretty classic bar and grill with a lot of TVs, but their patio sets the place apart. It gets tons of sun and still has plate of TVs to watch the game. The service as excellent. My waitress was nice, attentive and had good suggestions. This is a must visit apart for a drink, food or to juts watch the game.

    This spot was amazing! I was very sad to see the restaurant empty. Ambiance is great, very similar to the former bar cargo but much more inviting. $5 mimosas and $10 aperol spritz on the weekend was a hit. Might be the BEST chicken Caesar wrap in the city. Also got the cheese curds which were amazing as well. 10/10.

    Ahh! This used to be Bar Cargo. Remember that! They are New Kids on the Block. I had their fries and some other items. The staff and service is very good.

    Fine service, good atmosphere, okay food. Not as good as Bar Cargo, but the happy hour makes it worth it.

    Before my trip to Chicago, a coworker told me, "You must get Pequod's while you're out there."…read moreWhile we had a packed itinerary, I made sure to fit in time to and I'm glad I did! I've had deep dish pizza before, but I was not prepared for this - the real deal. Pequod's was the right choice. We ordered two pies - a half vegetable and half plain pie, and a meatball pie. Honestly, we should have just got one pie because it was so much. It was delicious, but it was A LOT! We had leftovers for days.

    We were recommend this location from a local during our stay and so glad we tried it! I had mixed…read moreemotions about trying the Chicago deep dish pizza as some mentioned the crust wasn't to their liking based off what we are accustomed to in California. This PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We tried the basic deep dish pizza with pepperoni to go and it was delicious! The sauce was tasty and thick, while the burned edges gave it an added flavor unlike any pizza we have ever tried. The bread is not a "pie" crust but more a fluffy, thick bread. I do recommended you order ahead as it's a 45-50 minute process to cook the masterpiece. It was well worth wait. They have two entrances for this location. One is the pick-up and go side while the entrance closest to the street corner, is the sit-down restaurant. I did notice people waiting outside and when I walked in to see the vibe, they had a small bar area and had several high tables to sit at. The hostess was really sweet and I even bought a $1 sticker to remember our stop here. I highly recommend this location for your deep dish pizza experience!

    Excellent service. Bar seating…read moreTable seating. 3 TV where they show sports. They showrd world cup games. Monday - $1 chicken wings. The wings are double fried but the meat stays moist. Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. To start…read moreoff our server, Eli was so nice so knowledgeable helping us run through the menu He took incredible care of us throughout the night! That's at the tone for what became unforgettable night. Had the space debri salad which is basically a Greek salad with potatoes and I think in Italian vinaigrette Soooooooooooo for it!!! So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire. Speaking of perfect harmony, everything at sharpies coexist in a lovely harmony from the all the staff, to the vibe/ambiance and absolutely killer pizza and food. WILL BE BACK! Check em out!
