My husband and I were seated upstairs for NFL Sunday. Jess was warm, funny, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. She asked what we liked, helped us navigate the beer selection and recommended a hazy that was spot on. While we were still talking, our beers magically appeared. She laughed and said, "Welcome to Fatpour. This is the service you'll always receive here." That perfectly captured Jess. She wasn't just doing her job--she genuinely cared. We noticed the same woman constantly jumping in to help the staff. Jess smiled and called her the "captain of this ship." Watching her manager work was just as impressive. She wasn't standing around acting like the boss she was right beside her team bringing drinks, grabbing dishes and helping wherever needed. We asked Jess if she ever felt nervous having her manager around, who we found out is the General Manager and her answer said everything. she loves when her manager is there. She told us her manager supports her, teaches rather than tears people down, and still holds everyone accountable when necessary. Jess told us she has felt supported all around since her first day and that her colleagues have truly become like a family. Honorable shoutout also to the gentleman who was working amongst them with the rad leg tattoo! We dont hope just Fat Pour is here next time we visit but that this same crew is here read more

Good place to go if you arrive late to the hotel and need a bite to eat. They closed at 2am. Your basic bar scene, mult-TV screens with games on. Typical bar food, appetizers, pizza, handhelds, drinks...etc. Nice staff. Food was average. It's not bad but it's not amazing either but it will be satisfied for foods read more

Food was fine. I really enjoyed my smashburger and the chips were decent. A few menu items looked good and we would have gotten an appetizer for the table but our server was no where to be found. By the time we found him we just ordered our meals and a few beers. We sat upstairs, it was a splash too dark but we used phone flashlights to see the menu. The server, as mentioned was really slow to check on us. But once we got our food it was good. I'd go back if someone suggested it, but I don't need to. read more

Real good bar. Selection of beer and food is pretty good. They have two floors of inside dining and have outdoor seating as well. Service is pretty attentive. Food can't out pretty fast. read more

Always a stop for us when we are in town to work an event at the McCormick Center!! Amazing food, great beer options, and a spacious two story location. One of our favorite things to order are the amazing nachos. They are loaded with toppings and are the perfect app to share. See you next time Fatpour!!! read more

Very convenient next to hotel. Late bite. Sat outside. Not as noisy as inside. Beautiful evening. Had the tenderloin sliders. Nothing too special spice/seasoning wise but they were tender and tasty. Had the Gold Rush Cocktail. So good had to have a second one. Not cheap but hey you're down at McCormick Place. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

After a great time at the WNBA game at the Wintrust Arena, we were starving (after opting out of burgers and hotdogs in the arena.) we crossed our fingers and headed across the street to FatPour Tapworks. It was full of customers, but they were able to sit us upstairs. Our servers were Stephanie and Justin and they worked that room like a well oiled machine. We ordered some local beers, sliders and a huge order of nachos. Food was delicious and left full and happy. read more

This place is pretty solid. I live right by it so it's easy to stop on by. It's definitely a sports bar so if you're into that then come here as they have a lot of TV's going. It can get a bit loud in there but that comes with the territory. The burgers are always good in my opinion. Service is just okay. read more

We were immediately sat down and I ordered a pizza, salad and beer. It was busy but the service came pretty fast. March Madness is currently going on so fans and convention goers were occupying the venue. I enjoyed all the food, and the drinks were cool. This has always been my go to when going to Chicago for the convention. read more

The customer service was horrible. Our waiter didn't even introduce himself but on the receipt, his name says Marcus. He started off with tossing all of our coasters to us (a group of 7) instead of placing them down, which lead to some people being hit by the coasters. When anyone asked about certain dishes, he has rude condescending responses. For example when asked if the pizzas are shareable, he said depends on if you want to eat the whole pizza or not. Which is not very helpful. Instead of going close to each person to hand them their drinks and food, he stood between two of the lightest ladies at the table and reaching over them and their food. As people were still eating, he started removing the plates. So people were not even able to finish their meals. I'm not sure if this man was a racist or a colorist, but this was the most uncomfortable meal we had all weekend. The actual environment seemed like it could have been enjoyable but it just wasn't. read more

1. Love the Russian bartender. 2. Ordered the chicken sandwich and the side salad, most excellent. The vinaigrette dressing that they provided was amazing on the salad. 3. The chicken sandwich might be the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, and the atmosphere was really good and relaxed. Good job for a hotel restaurant/bar. read more

Was here a few time over several days when I was in the area for a convention. Its fine. The bartenders I had on all the nights were more efficient than friendly, but they were not in any way rude. The upstairs is much nicer (IMHO) as it is has more more natural light and gets less loud. Beer selection was decent, not as many IPA options as I would like, but what I would like and what makes sense for them as a business are likely two different things. I'd go back. I mean, I did. Several times. It never blew my mind, and it was expensive, but I kept going back. read more

So your experience here entirely depends on who you get as your waitstaff. It's literally completely Hit or Miss. Like yesterday I had to complain because my bartender rushed me out of the bar as his shift was ending, and then today the guy did such a good job. I had to leave him a crazy tip. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, but the food isn't bad and they do have a beer selection. read more

Solid beer selection, attentive wait staff. Pints are around $8 and change. Had a Duvel from a bottle that was $13. Great smash burger and tots. Eat upstairs at the bar. read more

I stopped in after arriving to Chicago on a trip for my wife's work. It was simply nearby, No expectations going in. The staff was friendly, and speedy. The grilled wings I got were some of the most incredible chicken wings I've ever eaten. My actual order was garlic Parmesan grilled chicken wings which arrived quickly with a great portion size to fill me up with plenty of ranch and carrots/celery. The meat was falling off the bone as I bit into each wing and the crispy grilled goodness was to die for. My water cup was never empty and the wait time for a beer refill was almost in the negative. I finished my sip and was nearly immediately checked on. It's a two story building with lots of space on both floors and TVs with all the sports you could ask for. Highly recommended! read more

Good food. Fast, polite wait staff. There for lunch so it was a bit loud. But that is to be expected.

Loved the location, space and proximity to the Wintrust Arena. The restaurant is pretty large, and accessible to the second floor patio area (there is a large indoor and seems to be an outdoor space). The sport vibe is clearly embraced, as there are a plethora of large TVs spread out throughout the space, and it's across the street from Wintrust Arena. Additionally , the service was very prompt and accommodating - the server made my husband's Sprite "with a splash of lemonade" drink to perfection. However, I absolutely hated my chicken nachos (more nachos than anything), but my cocktail was pretty good. I'd go back, but would opt for a burger. read more

My husband and I came here to watch the bears game. Came about an hour before the game started on Sunday night and had our pick of seats. We sat at the end of the bar. By the time kickoff happened, the bar was busy. Service was pretty good for how busy it was. We didn't order any regular food, only the fat cake. It was dense and rich and gigantic! Absolutely delicious. I ordered a pear nojito but it mostly tasted like sprite with lime juice. The blueberry pancake martini on the other hand was absolutely amazing! I could've bad 10 of them. read more

I've eaten here several times with my family and always enjoyed the food. Today not so much. Several items my family wished to order were out of supply which was odd for 3:00 on a Wednesday and the restaurant was not crowded. I've enjoyed their burger and sweet potato fries a great deal in the past. But today's order was sorely lacking. My order was rather light on the sweet potato fries and this "little"burger was meh at best. I should have complained but we were pressed for time. Unfortunately this was not the quality meal I've come to expect from Fatpour. read more

While on vacation, my husband and I try to patronize non-chain restaurants & bars! This time, we choose Fatpour Tap works. We went in for a late lunch. I have to say, I was disappointed by the limited menu options. However, the food DID NOT disappoint! I ordered a classic burger with macaroni & cheese and tots as my sides! I ate the macaroni first.... OMG! It was to die for!!! Even though it was a small side, I still was only able to eat half of my hamburger! It was precisely cooked as ordered! My husband ordered an angry Adam burger with macaroni & cheese and fries. He was able to finish all of his, tho! Jessica, our waitress, was top- notch! She was very attentive to the things we needed while there! The atmosphere and ambiance was that of a private little 'hole in the wall' place! I would HIGHLY recommend you visit if ever in Chicago! The ONLY thing I'd complain about would be that the public restrooms were on the top floor of the restaurant. Hope no one has an emergency ‼ read more

This place is right next to the Hilton's three hotels in one and you would think they'd have a restaurant open all day but they don't. Thankfully this place was next door and from 11am until the early morning I could go there and get good to great food. The place was humming the three times I ate here, not including my take out pizza. There was a large convention and they were always packed but the staff were all friendly and worked quickly. I didn't see anyone waiting more than five minutes before they were served their drink order. The place was noisy without an empty table in the place. I had on various visits; the burger, shrimp tacos and twice the pizzas. All was delicious and the prices were reasonable for where it was. Definitely worth a visit. Don't bother with the VU Rooftop up in the Hilton avoid the elevator and eat here. read more

Fatpour offers nice variety of menu choices, drinks etc. I got the Classic medium cheeseburger with crisp bacon on a perfectly toasted bun that hit the spot. A challenge picking any two of the many tempting sides, and eventually went with the perfectly fried fries and mixed fruit. Only minor complaint is the fruit was not very fresh - Little slimy on the edges, but luckily did not get an upset stomach from it. Overall enjoyable meal in the clean spacious patio and friendly prompt service by waitress Cheyenne (hope spelled right). Plenty of metered parking or parking lot nearby. read more

I had a great experience dining at Fatpour with my best friend. It was an impromptu dinner, and the food was delicious. I ordered the Angry Adam--a burger topped with a crab cake--absolutely amazing! The honey mustard sauce and fries were on point, though the Brussels sprouts weren't my favorite. We also had drinks; mine was decent, but my best friend loved hers. Our server was fantastic--funny, informative, and super attentive. He checked on us regularly, making sure we had everything we needed, which really added to the experience. For dessert, I had something so good I had to force myself to save some for later. However, after eating the burger, my stomach didn't feel great--possibly because I'm recently transitioning from being a pescatarian. The next day, when reheating my leftovers, I found a small hair in my burger, which was disappointing. That aside, the ambiance is really nice--a lively sports bar with lots of TVs, an upstairs area, and a patio for the summer. I'd still go back because I loved the vibe and the service, but I'll be double-checking my food next time. read more

First day we got into Chicago and to the hotel we were hungry and ready for dinner. This place was just around the corner from hotel so we stopped in. We got some fried cheese curds and they were awesome. Only thing is they were served with marinara. Generally other places have some kind of jalapeño or other pepper jelly to dip in, which is what I prefer. We saw someone else's burger come out so we asked what it was and they said Fatpour Smash burger. So we got one of those and a regular smash burger and some wings. The smash burgers were some of the best we've had. The Fatpour burger had an egg, bacon jam and fried onion straws on it. The wings were alright but nothing super special. Our waiter was pretty awesome and was quick with service as we got everything very quickly. This is a sports bar type atmosphere and was pretty laid back. We enjoyed this place and actually told other friends to swing in to have the Fatpour smash burger. They all enjoyed it as well. Sorry, forgot pics. read more

Totally unfamiliar with this side of the city as I live way up north. We were in the area for a conference at McCormick place and had a lunch break. A group of us were looking for a place to eat. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere pub style decor, and food and the staff was accommodating to a point.. We had someone join our party late and they wanted them to sit at another table instead of with our group. They don't seem to be able to accommodate large parties. There were seven of us. The food was just OK we had the baked nachos and ordered it with steak, but it came out with chicken. They offered to bring another order with steak, but it never arrived. The people who ordered the burgers seem to like them. The shrimp tacos goes were very dry and I did not even finish one of them. Someone had the steak salad and he really enjoyed that. I don't really have much to compare it to in the area so I don't know whether it is one of the better places to go if you're around there or not, but if we go out to lunch another day well at the conference, I think I'll try to find something else. read more

This place was great. Had the maple bacon burger and it was outstanding. The music and vibe was great, they were playing 2000's punk music and I really liked the inside. It gets busy around lunch and dinner if a conference is going on. Service and quick and easy. Great beer selection as well. Definitely check it out if you are staying at the McCormick hotel. read more

Five stars for Isaac the server; none for the management who lied about service. We were told we could only push tables together if we ordered family style. But that is not what the website reflects. The food was great. I ordered crab cakes and it came with salad and brussel sprouts. It looked just like the photo. The place was hopping being close to a conference venue and hotels. It was loud inside so I was happy to be sat outdoors. read more

Server and bartender were quite rude. Gave an attitude when asking if we could seat 5 on a 4 table since we were in a group. Purposely hit me with the menu when mentioned we didn't want to order food when taking the menus away. read more

Service was super friendly and made us feel right at home! The food was your classic bar fare--nothing fancy, but it totally hit the spot. Perfect for a quick bite before or after an event. Being right across the street from the Wintrust Arena was a huge plus, and the outdoor seating was a nice bonus on a nice day. Easy, convenient, and just what we needed! read more

Wings that NEVER disappoint! Home made blue cheese is always a win for me. And hot of course. The caveat here is that I'm a flaps gal and they do not accommodate ALL Flaps. 4 stars for preference. Ambiance is typical bar style but small. TVs throughout and music is pretty loud. Service is not warm but to the point. I would imagine at this location you kind of become a tad stoic. Tons of traffic and tourist. 4stars for having to climb a serious amount of stairs for the bathrooms. Imagine the tumble down drunk ‍. My goodness. read more

I found this restaurant near my hotel Marriott downtown Chicago and I was looking for a salad and I was actually surprised at the vegan substitute for chicken taste like chicken.

The eating area in this restaurant feels very much like a bar. There is an extended bar throughout the whole entire restaurant as well as high tops surrounding it. The atmosphere when I went was very busy. The layout seemed crowded and like people were on top of each other. The food was relatively good, but very pricey for what you received. I had the grapefruit spritz as well as the steak and frites and my meal was over $60. read more

Here's a polished version of your Yelp review: This spot has become a regular go-to for me since I work in the area. The food is classic bar/pub fare--nothing too fancy, but always hits the spot. I especially enjoy the burgers; they're consistently great.The space itself can feel a bit cramped. Tables are packed in tightly, and it gets loud during peak hours, which can make it feel a little chaotic. Wait times can be long depending on the time of day, and while the staff is friendly and hardworking, the large crowds and limited number of servers mean the service isn't always as attentive as it could be. That said, it's a solid choice if you're nearby and looking for good, casual food. Just try to avoid peak times if you're in a hurry or looking for a quiet bite. read more
