    Vienna Dog.
    Derek W.

    Tasty Chicago classic Hot Dog. Friendly and efficient staff! About $8 is not too bad of a price.

    Top-shelf view of Galileo.

    A quiet place to sit down awaits, should you have the persistence to seek this place out. Very low key, and out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the rest of the very busy Terminal 1 of this airport. The place has about 4 beers on-tap: G.I. IPA, BL, Sam, and Stella. I went the cocktail route during my visit, working with the bartender (JB) to create a Paloma with what they had on hand (i.e. no Squirt). There are ~25 bottles comprising their top-shelf, so there a suitable number of options available. All in all, a nice place to kill some time before progressing onward from O'Hare.

    This is the whole bar.

    Atmosphere is cold. Really cold. The place is basically an airline ticket counter with a big screen TV, about 20 liquor bottles, and 3 beers on tap. To their credit, 2 are fit for men to drink, and the other is Bud Light. They had NHL on when I was there, so it wasn't all a loss, but it's not a comfortable place to grab a drink and have a chat. I would never go there intentionally again.

    A Chicago Dog...breakfast before my plane departs the windy city...!!!

    Casual, watering hole for relaxing after a long day.

    But it's a great place to have a drink before your flight if you're going out of gates B15 or higher.

    I've been to the Admiral's Lounge at ORD (and many other airports) over a hundred times and…read morerecently when at ORD I was able to visit this Flagship lounge for my first time. The first impression was nice, calm, and professional in appearance. The seating was nicely laid out, plenty of different areas. I absolutely loved the library-esque atmosphere, THIS is what a lounge is supposed to be... not having kids running around, yelling, horseplaying, annoying guests. There were kids and they were well-mannered. They have a champagne and wine bar here - though not as nice as many other first class lounges, it was a nice offering and the brands were very nice too. They also offered a fun bloody mary bar which was self-service. This was really interesting as they offered so many things one could put in their bloody mary. Food here was tasty... the eggs were amazing. They offered an omelete station too. Overall, it was a nice visit.

    Not bad. Probably a 3.5. If I had to rate the flagships I've been do I would these from top to…read morebottom: JFK Soho Lounge DFW Flagship LAX Flagship Chicago Flagship Heathrow So, near the bottom of those but certainly better than all the basic Admiral Lounges and their equivalents on other carriers, and much better than Amex Centurions which are overcrowded, style over substance, and often gated by waitlists. This location is spacious like the other flagships but often has a bunch of people in it. The reason Soho rates above the rest is they gate access to One World Emerald customers only so it's a much more relaxed and considered space. This one allows in Sapphire as well so there's a bunch of bodies in here.

Famously known as the largest at least in America, it is full of absolute freaks who do not wait for night time to come out. There is no better airport for a layover paired with a few seats facing out towards people walking around and being weird. My small brother asked me what was wrong with a woman who wouldn't stop staring at us, and I told him she had a serious case of can't mind her own business. Many such cases. Later on I was feeling a bit of Nathan Fielder's spirit inspiring me, so I went on a walk and was looking for interesting stuff to film and collage into what will likely be a pretty uninteresting video. I saw a kid mopping up neon yellow slime, and a woman doing acrobatics to climb over it. I just like people, and I like politely watching them do people things. I hit a discreet angle for just a few moments, zoomed all the way in on just the floor, no faces captured. It should come as no surprise that once I ended it and looked up the woman attached to the feet was furious, telling me to mind my own fucking business. Amen sister. I often and fondly recall the time Anthony Bourdain did a reddit AMA, where someone asked in his opinion, what is the best form of meat in tube, and he said The Chicago Hot Dog. So I got one at the airport because today I am the queen of I don't give a gaf. This is a beautiful tube of meat. Right up my alley, as I am a huge toppings kinda woman. No notes on this beautiful hotdog, paired with the diet version of my favorite soda. Cheers to minding my own business and making it home safely.

    We traveled through Chicago's O'Hare Airport (May 2026), instead of the smaller Midway Airport. We…read morelike the White-Sox-themed restaurant at Midway. Here at O'hare, we visited The Cubs Bar & Grill. The restaurant is a chance to get a brew and a meal with an eyeful of Cubs memorabilia: Sports-Illustrated posters, jerseys, player-photos, pin-stripe-jersey tables and logo tables, and an easy-to-miss small display case of things you can purchase like beverage-glasses, shot-glasses, baseball-caps, tshirts, sweatshirts, mini-baseball-bats, and baseballs. We had a classic Heileman's Old Style lager, famous as part of Chicago nostalgia, and a really typical mild "old style" lager. And we tried a medium-bitter Fist City IPA, a bright crisp refreshing craft beer, brewed only in Chicago. We shared the $17.50 two-Chicago-dog combo, all-beef dogs loaded with all the classic toppings, and those iconic poppyseed buns. It came with hot lightly-crisped soft-inside fries. Authentic. Delicious. Perfect! You could also get a number of burgers, sandwiches, and other dishes, even breakfast at 6am! The only other nostalgic food that we noticed were good old Stanburgers with both American and cheddar cheese, regular burger toppings, and "secret sauce", like Stanley's used to serve at Wrigley Field. We were disappointed they didn't have a Chicago Italian Beef sandwich on the menu, but it seems that a restaurant needs to be really focussed on that to do it well, so maybe it's a good decision. I'm going to thank The Cubs Bar for that menu choice :-). We didn't see Mälort behind the bar, so no "Chicago Handshake" shot and a beer. If you've experienced that incredibly bitter herbal liqueur, you might agree that it's probably not recommended pre-flight. By working the authentic Chicago angle, we found good food and beverages at The Cubs Bar & Grill to round out the baseball nostalgia. We had view of the planes, too, which is always a plus at an airport restaurant. Staff was friendly and quick. A good experience at Terminal 3!

The flight was delayed almost 2 hours and now we weren't going to be home before midnight so we decided to grab something at the airport. This is a cute bar and grill located in terminal two and it's actually quite large as it has two bars and a very big sitting area. It was crowded and we were able to get two seats at the bar. We ordered a barbecue bacon cheeseburger and a Greek salad. The food took a little while, but we were in no hurry and there were TVs with the basketball game on so we were entertained. When the food finally came out, I grabbed one of the french fries and it was ice cold and the burger looked like it had been sitting for a while too. The Greek salad was just OK. Nothing special. It wasn't cold it was lukewarm so it had been sitting also. Cold beer, cold, wine, disgusting, overpriced, food set in a cute Chicago Cubs atmosphere. There's not much of a choice so this is it for a sit down restaurant.
