    Three bouncers that denied entrance to my group and I because we were black and Latino. Had us outside for over 30 min for nothing.
    Dee-Dee W.

    By far one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar and this was my first time here. First, my group and I were told $20 for entry when no else was being charged before or after. Second, they wouldn't allow us to enter changing the reason each time (too crowded, reservations needed, someone must leave for one to enter, etc.). However, those that came after us were allowed in. Everyone in my group is black or Latino and it became obvious why we weren't being let in after we'd been waiting patiently for close to thirty minutes. They started to call us "belligerent" when some showed they were upset and voiced the racism being displayed. This was my first and last time here. I won't be giving money to a business that refuses proper treatment because my skin is darker. Just disappointed because I always heard good things about this place. Then I experience it and I'm appalled by how my group was handled. I'm not sure if I'm more hurt by knowing I was discriminated against because of my skin or disappointed because somewhere I thought was great and excited to finally experience denied me of that. I made a yelp just so I could post a review. That should say a lot alone.

    I am very torn writing this review but I'm just going to be real. Word on the street is this is the new "IT" spot w/ famous celebrity sightings such as: Chance the Rapper being a regular, Scottie Pippen rolling through (how old is that guy now anyway & why is he still clubbing), and Kehlani was in attendance the night before we decided to check this place out. Since January the social media marketing hype has been full throttle. All gravel Spot Hero parking lot is right next door and immediately my first impression of the building was negative bc the parking lot was wider than the actual club. Sure enough we stepped inside and it had a super narrow layout. Arriving early we decided to order food and if you decide to do the same I would advise to play it safe and stick with the burger. We had over priced scrawny chicken tenders and the saddest adult Lunchables called Boxables that was meant to be a nostalgic charcuterie. This rendition couldn't get anymore terrible. The meats & cheeses in the sectional container were low grade & tasteless. Admitting, one of the worst restaurant items I've ever eaten My friend ordered two different juice box flavors: unicorn & lime cucumber. The unicorn was terrible not to mention the straw (they re-use & wash) still had lipstick stains on it. She sent it back and asked for another lime cucumber but this time, straw-less. They do let you keep the juice boxes but I think it's upon request. Those left over are recycled. Next we maneuvered upstairs. We were wearing light leather jackets so it wasn't mandatory to put them in coat check. However, I highly advise you check them in anyway bc it gets hot & sweaty. Our night turned around for the better bc to my surprise I ran into a long time friend who happens to be security here. He was kind enough to let us chill in members club. This was super helpful and made all the difference in the world bc the club packed out to capacity. Totally grateful for this and this portion of the night was 4 star worthy. Security also deserves 4 stars bc they were watching the crowd and keeping things in order. Members Club entrance is located in the rear, take another flight up to a balcony w/ 3 sectional seating areas & DJ booth that over looks the crowd. You can pay a yearly members fee and roll through whenever you like with all the usual bottle service amenities. I don't remember what that fee is. Not to be mistaken, VIP tables are located on the club level along the walls. Instead of using the traditional torch sparklers for bottle service light sabers are used, inflatable birthday cakes, and light up flowers. Safe, tech-y, futuristic. Club light display & ambiance was really fun. Music was great. The DJ played a wide variety of music & the crowd seemed more than happy. Standard 20 Something's crowd w/ scattered older aged men. The typical scene. Overall, the biggest cons were the food & narrow layout. If we didn't have the opportunity in members club, I probably wouldn't be a happy camper chillin without a table on the main floor. We left around 1 or 2 am (daylight savings time) and the line was still a block long. The club is open until 4 am & people were determined to wait for a chance at entry. I will say, every server we had was excellent and had kind demeanor. Special shout to my friend. Thanks again for all you did for us that night!

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

He's deeply involved in the beverage scene, and with a partner who is starting a mezcal company, they're always on the hunt for standout cocktail programs. This time, we ended up at Gus' Sip & Dip, located at 51 W. Hubbard St., Chicago, IL 60654. While we were there, a friend mentioned that Gus' Sip & Dip has been recognized among the top food and drink destinations in the country, and after my visit, I can absolutely see why. The atmosphere is fantastic, think modern speakeasy with a touch of 1940s charm. The space features rich green tones, cozy booths, and an intimate layout that works especially well for small groups. Larger parties can take advantage of some of the bigger tables throughout the space. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Just be aware that this place is popular, so depending on when you visit, there may be a wait. As for the food and drinks, everything we tried was excellent. I didn't manage to get photos of everything, but a few highlights included the burger, the Italian beef dip, and the chicken pot pie. Every dish was flavorful and well executed. The cocktails were equally impressive, every drink I sampled was thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I would absolutely come back. The only thing worth noting is that it's a bit on the pricey side, but if you're looking for great food, exceptional drinks, and a memorable atmosphere, it's money well spent. If you have the budget and good company, Gus' Sip & Dip is a true gem in downtown Chicago. 5 out of 5 stars.

Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for a great dinner, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit. The service was phenomenal. Our server checked in frequently without ever feeling intrusive, and we always felt taken care of. That level of attentiveness really elevated the entire experience. The drinks were outstanding. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the most unique versions I've ever had. Smoky, strong, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced. If you're a cocktail lover, don't skip the drinks. We started with the Little Gem salad, which was fresh, tangy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. For mains, we tried both the steak sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, served on great bread, and paired with delicious sides. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. But the real star of the evening? The Sweet Corn Agnolotti. My. God. This dish completely stole the show. It was one of the most unique pasta dishes I've ever tasted, and I still think about it to this day. The flavor profile was complex, creative, and unlike anything I've had before. Every bite brought something new, and it absolutely blew our minds. Amazing food, incredible cocktails, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere.

Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and despite having been here multiple times before, I won't be returning.
