    The Third Eye
    Joseph S.

    i have been meaning to try this place and it was definitely cute. The bartender was super friendly snd gave me this non-alcoholic rec once I told him I can't drink alcohol. This place is very quaint and chill which is perfect to meet someone or go on a date. The third eye drink was very fruity and refreshing. I would definitely get it again

    Larry's is a unique bar that is tucked away in this building. It has hip lighting and decor. It even has an outdoor patio. We stopped by right before the Pulp show. There was only one person working and she had her hands full with the long line of people waiting for a drink. They seemed to be out of regular glasses because of the demand. My friend had a shot glass of champagne as there weren't other glasses. My drink was El Salvatore and one of my friends got an old fashioned served in a shot glass. My glass was the only one that had a normal glass. It's something I haven't seen before happen, but again the line was massive and only one bartender. Hope this isn't a recurring thing.

    The vibes here are perfect - elevated and classy cocktail bar meets dive bar meets library coffee shop. Probably could sit in this building all day. The lobby atrium space has so many great seating options for working and I noticed the cute coffee bar as well. Would be such a great spot for working from home! Larry's itself was classy, dimly lit, and timeless, open to the atrium so you could hear the live jazz band playing beautifully in the background. And the cocktail menu was soooo good! I only got red wine but the names of the drinks and the presentation was immaculate. This is a hidden gem that I would go out of my way to come back to!

    Had fun at Larry's - super laid back vibe to catch up with friends. My friend and I both had the bartender make us a drink based on our liquor of choice, which was fun. My friend's drink was lit on fire, which was a fun little experience!

    Larry's is a bar tucked in the lobby of a new apartment building on Lawrence. It's a chill spot to catch up with friends and be able to hear each other over the music. You can stay in the bar area or if you need more space, you could take your drinks out to the space in the lobby area. The bar area is small but there's plenty of seating and it wasn't too crazy busy even on a Friday night. I loved the aesthetic the red lighting gave to the bar space and the funky art on the walls. They had great cocktails at Larry's! They have a cocktail of the week and a dealer's choice. I highly recommend getting the dealer's choice. You tell the bartender the type of liquor and drinks you normally like, and they surprise you with something! The bartenders were amazing and whipped up a cool drink for me that was floral + tequila. I would definitely come back here!

    Unique location, located in a part of residential building. There is a spacious lobby next to the bar, and customers can take drinks to the lobby or even to the couch and coffee table areas. I felt like I was in my friend's place and chilling. The art on the walls is fun to watch. I wish they had more cocktail options. A cocktail came with a metal straw and I wish they used regular straw for sanitary reasons

    What a special, unique place. I love Larry's and cannot wait to come back again. My husband and I are semi-determined to make it our local haunt. Great bar if you're looking for somewhere cool, quiet, and has good drinks. Larry's is located in the lobby of an apartment building. The bar itself is off to the side in a dimly lit cove with some seating. You are welcome to bring your drinks out into the immaculately decorated lobby. They have curated some great, vintage pieces for this place. It makes a great impression. We opted to do this instead of stay in the bar area. It's nice as long as you're comfortable with the lobby traffic. We were there maybe around 9 or 10. There is a light but steady flow of residents coming in and out. It does detract from the experience in some ways because you are distracted by looking at people and feeling them probably look at you. But at the same time, it was still really nice. I'd love to come during the day when it's a coffee shop. A really unique space.

    Cute bar at Lawrence house. The bartender and staff are super friendly and they make amazing unique drinks as well as the classics. Highly recommend!

    I'm kinda into this place. It's a unique little bar right off the lobby of the Lawrence House - you actually have to walk through to find it. On a Saturday evening around 5, there weren't many people in the bar yet but there were some scattered around the lobby studying. There's tons of different seating options, and Larry's lets you take your drink wherever as long as you bring the glass back. Generally, the bartenders were pretty cool and helpful. I was super indecisive about which cocktail to order but was pointed in the right direction with the Lady Louise. My friend ordered a whiskey drink that was also very good. She lives near Uptown so I suspect we'll be back!

    Larry's from the lobby area.  What a cool hang out building. Loving Larry's!

    Warm and lovely British pub with delicious pies and efficient service…read more My dining partner and I tried the mushroom and kale and the rocking vegan pies. The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

    Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

The decor looks historic with dark wood walls, beautiful molding, and of course antique sports memorabilia. It is in Chicago after all!! The menu items that were highlighted was the prime rib, while supplies last and the ribs. I tried to go with the prime rib but at 7:30 it was sold out. The bartenders suggested the French dip sandwich with shaved prime rib but went with the ribs instead. Smoked daily the ribs were tender and moist with a very sweet homemade BBQ sauce. I prefer my sauce on the spicy side but it was delicious, the shrimp were fried and crispy, served with fresh cocktail sauce. I opted for the fries and side salad but were good. The Greek vinaigrette dressing was delicious. The bartender was super engaging and knowledgeable. I hat his signature Ole Fashion and a glass of cab from their list. Both were great You need to eat here!!

    After many years of walking past Miller's Pub I finally had the opportunity to have dinner there…read more The inside of the pub is dark wood with lots of pictures of the family that owns Miller's Pub plus pictures of celebrities who have been there. The decor is straight from the 60s or 70s. The menu has something for everyone from ribs to prime rib to burgers. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. The food was good. Our only one issue is the waiter told us the lamb chop special was gone so my husband ordered the pork chops but what was served were lamb chops. He ate them so we didn't say anything to the waiter but it was strange because the bill listed lamb chops not pork chops. Maybe they weren't gone after all? Over all I'll be keeping Miller's Pub in mind when we need somewhere to go for dinner or lunch and don't necessarily want fast food or the latest hot restaurant.

We were there on Friday, so the fish and chips were all-you-can-eat. So crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. So yummy. The chips were crispy and paired perfectly with the fish splashed with the malt vinegar. The green peas were good, but my favorite was the Stovies. If you've never had proper Stovies, this is your chance to try them. Potatoes and onions with bits of roast kind of like mashed potatoes or a very thick stew. So yummy. They also have an extensive drink menu.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26
