    A fun place for groups and couples and friends and work groups. Lots of fun drinks and inside and outside seating and lots of appetizers and food. But the food isn't great. The jalapeño nachos have too much jalapeño and little cheese and little salsa tomato. Drinks are good... food okay. Beautiful ambiance and modern look. Fun fun fun. Great for corporate events.

    Turkey bacon wrap
    Katy C.

    I found this spot near Union Station to grab some lunch before getting on the train back home to Michigan. It's located inside an office building in the main floor lobby area. They have a lot of outdoor seating overlooking the river, but I was a bit warm so I opted to sit inside. I was worried I was low on time, so I ordered the turkey bacon wrap to go. It came out quickly and was packaged well to take over to the train station. The fries were really tasty, seasoned well and the perfect texture for me. The wrap itself was more on the "ok" side - the turkey wasn't really flavorful and the texture was a bit mushy. I did love the bacon, though - it was really thick and high quality. It did the trick for a quick lunch. I'd probably order again as they were fast during the lunch rush and a convenient spot for heading to the train station.

    Little Toasted is a casual restaurant that combines upscale toast-centric dishes with an extensive whiskey selection The space features industrial-chic design with river views and an airy patio. They cater well to business lunches and weekend Their dishes are made with quality ingredients, they maintain an impressive whiskey selection, creative and tasty cocktails, and bright atmosphere. They can get crowded/noisy during lunch rush, and around dinner. The restaurant successfully balances between a casual lunch spot and serious whiskey bar, though it's best to visit during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Becky with the good berries

    This is a great option for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and even possibly dinner! Located conveniently steps from the station, you can pop in here while waiting for your train (as we did in our case), or on a day in the city as it is also pretty close to a few popular tourist destinations. The inside is really pretty and comfy, and we were seated immediately on a Thursday early afternoon. Our waiter recommended the "Becky with the hood berries" cocktail to satisfy my sweet cravings and I loved it! We also tried the breakfast burrito (yum!) and the breakfast sandwich with sourdough bread. We also had a couple of beers as well before leaving. There was ample outdoor seating as well as the indoor seating, so definitely stop by if you're in the area.

    Frosé

    My group of 4 had a pretty odd experience here unfortunately. Service was very short/impatient, but I can understand that they are quite overwhelmed with the after work/happy hour crowd on a Thursday at 5:30! However, I ordered the frosé, and it was served as pictured. When I asked for a straw, I was told rather rudely there were "no straws or spoons" which I can't be understanding of. As you can see in the picture, the frosé can't be drank like a liquid - It's quite thick. So I resorted to spooning it with the lemon twist as my only option. I even made eye contact with a few others who ordered this at different tables with the same issue, so it wasn't just a misunderstanding with my server. At a minimum, this should've been communicated when I ordered the "drink". I definitely will not be returning after this uncomfortable experience and will try the other options in the area for happy hour with my coworkers.

    Avocado Toast
    Diana P.

    We came here to cool off after a day in the sun and I gotta say, it's nice. The outdoor seating is spacious as is the inside. The couches were clean, large, and placed in a way that felt welcoming for groups. I thought it was neat that instead of having multiple sinks inside the bathrooms, they have one sink in each individual bathroom as well as a row of sinks directly outside. So, everyone in the restaurant can wash their hands with ease. When it comes to food, I wasn't feeling a full meal, so I ordered the avocado toast. It was heavily topped with arugula, which I don't mind, but what put me off was the strong sour taste. I think lemon or lime juice was added. It could have been a nice touch, but way too much was used. Regardless, I finished it. Our server was nice, but could have been a little more attentive when it came to the checks. Not sure I'd make this my go-to dining spot, but definitely a "grab drinks with friends" spot!

    Chef's Board
    Dan P.

    The wife and I met a friend here for some drinks and ordered appetizers. This restaurant/bar is busy after work, but we only had to wait a few minutes to get a table. The beer selection is good and service is efficient. In addition to beer, we ordered onion rings and chef's board. Both were good. I tried the onion rings, but mostly ate the Chef's Board. There was so much of it that I had to bring some home. The meats and cheeses are delicious and went well with the beer.

    The Marvel drink

    Feeling a "little toasted" while writing this review. So forgive me for any misspellings. Love the look and set up of this bar. Very spacious, with modern and trendy decorations. Located in the floor level of an office building on the river, so very convenient for those working in the Loop. Great selection of beers and cocktails. Came here today, a Wednesday, and it was 50% off chicken wings and whiskey. Got the lemon pepper wings, it was okay but doable. And also the cheese board. Can't go wrong with cheese. The drinks have catchy names to them and are quite tasty. Will try the toast food options on the menu on the next go round. Meaning...I'll be back.

    Bartender literally going top shelf to grab my selection.

You can crack jokes and they'll play right along with you, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. I ordered the pulled pork skillet and it did not miss. They make your eggs however you want (within reason), and everything came out perfectly. While not the cheapest in town, the value is absolutely there given the quality of the beers and food -- prices feel totally reasonable for River North.

Great ambience for some bar food and an evening of trying unique beers. They have a great hosting space upstairs too for grad parties, work events, etc. Main reason for my lower rating was our waitress was insanely slow for a light Thursday crowd. Waited 20 minutes before seeing anyone after being sat, waited 30 minutes for the check, waited another 20 minutes for her to run the check so we could leave. I've never experience service quite that bad... would recommend sitting at the bar if you have a small party.

I had been wanting to try Industry Ales when it opened and was glad to have had the opportunity to finally check it out! I was slightly thrown off, as the dining tables are at the front of this space, and the bar is all the way at the back. In fact, my friend at first glance thought it was a sit-down dining establishment sans bar seating. We found our way to the bar and posted up at two seats. We were offered menus right away and found the bartender extremely knowledgeable. This was super helpful when facing down an encyclopedia of ales. He offered samples when we explained what we were looking for. That is service above and beyond, especially on a bustling Friday early evening. The brews were tasty, but I couldn't really discern what I was drinking apart to say it was a lighter Belgian Ale. Wine is more in my wheelhouse, but always good to change things up, especially when a person has the opportunity to be guided by an expert. The people seated nearby had ordered the tuna tartare which looked delicious. In fact, all of the menu is globally influenced (think: pizza samosas, pierogis, Korean BBQ) in addition to the classic brewpub favorites. In addition to the Brewpub, this location features the Millroom, a speakeasy-style lounge. I did not have a chance to check that out on this visit. Definitely a cut above the usual sports bar and a place to expand one's knowledge of brews.
