    Chi-Dawg and a Lagunitas IPA

    Zach is the man! The Chi-Dog slaps! Great service and good atmosphere laid-back relaxing between flights.

    Vienna Dog.

    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.

    If you are stuck at O'Hare and can only go to one bar. GO HERE. Great drinks, no wait, great eats.

    I've never had the pleasure of stepping on sidewalk in Chicago, but I've been in Ohare heaps of…read moretimes. 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.

    Skybridge is a trusty go to for a quick bite at O'Hare. Def a fan of the chicken pita and the BLT…read more Fries are ridiculously good. Portions are healthy. One of the most budget meals at the airport. Tucked away in the F concourse at T2. Limited seating but they package to go. There's a small bar that often has good pours. Staff is nice.

    So you're leaving Chicago at O'Hare Airport for home and you meant to get a Chicago Dog but just…read moreforgot or couldn't fit it in to stop at many of the thousands of Chicago Hot Dog places or even get to a Cub game. NO PROBLEM. here you get one more chance to have one at Cubs Bar & Grill in Terminal 2 along the corridor going to gates G and F. Decor is all Chicago Cubs. Even each table has the Cub logo on each one of them. I ordered the Chicago Dogs which you get 2 of them with every bit of the fixings that comprises a Chicago Hot Dog. From the poppy seed bun to the pickles, relish, peppers and mustard , they were perfect, served with French Fries. My wife had The Field Salad with blue cheese, apples and walnuts with mixed greens. Nice portion. It does get busy and you have to wait in line to get a table. Has a great sandwich menu as well. They serve beer and wine including local Goose Island Beer There is a bar you can sit at if you get a seat. TV's everywhere so we were able to watch college football games as well. So if you forgot to eat the Sacred Chicago Hot Dog before leaving the Windy City, Cubs Bar and Grill gives you one last chance.
