I love LuxBar. I've probably been here 50+ times, it's one of the best in Gold Coast. LuxBar is brilliant for every meal, their brunch is so yummy as is their dinner. The steak is amazing, both the breakfast and dinner versions. Service is impeccable. Location is spectacular and the upstairs view is beautiful. We love the pigs in a blanket appetizer, the pretzel, the tuna tacos, the guacamole, and the chicken soup. The burger is also amazing as are the French fries. Don't miss this place! read more

LUXBAR - USDA Prime Skirt Steak & Eggs - Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Loved the Luxe bar, we ordered the fried chicken something we've never ordered out and it was incredible. Would definitely go back. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions. read more

Been coming here for years now. I have never gotten anything other than the Lux Club, that's how much of a hold it has me in. It's turkey, cheese, egg, bacon etc. I get it with a side of this thin bbq sauce that they have and it's to die for. read more

I thought this was a great spot for lunch! The prices here are reasonable. I really enjoyed the food, particularly the truffle fries with aioli. We came on a Saturday at 11:30am with no reservation and waited about 30-45 mins for a table outside- the indoor dining area was hot and very loud. Our server was great. I would definitely come back here! read more

Met a girlfriend here for lunch while in Chicago for work. I got the turkey club. It was great! Crispy fries with an aioli ri sauce. I liked that they cut the crust off and added cucumber, nice touch! My friend got the Cobb salad with the Buffalo chicken and she loved it! Waiter was super friendly and kept my ice tea filled which I appreciated! Great outdoor patio, wonderful for people watching! read more

I love Luxbar. The service and food are always great. Gibson's restaurants do it right. Prices are also very reasonable for the area. That said, the salmon was not my favorite dish last night. It was extremely salty and undercooked. The frisée salad with it was also just sad imo. So now I know. Otherwise, it's one of my favorite spots. read more

Food was delicious. Service was terrible. We got there at 6:00. Did not see our waitress at all not even for drinks till 6:37. In fact at that time a different server had to come to us and ask what we wanted to drink. The tables next to us were being served food and drinks, by the same server we were supposed to have. Not even a "i am busy i'll be right with you" We never even got her name. After ordering our food we then waited another 40 minutes for, we were frustrated especially because everyone who came in way after us received their food. read more

First rate Mother's Day brunch from start to finish. We were an early arrival when they opened at 9am and it filled up both inside and outside rather quickly. Karla and the entire staff were amazing from getting our food order in a very timely manner but not rushing us out the door. Always love going to LUXBAR as it just has the perfect atmosphere, it's been a few years and this was a welcome return! read more

Grab a table outside if you can . The streets are closed off and tons of tables outside doe surrounding restaurants. This is a great area to people watch . We usually come here for brunch but enjoyed dinner this time instead . Great service , although servers were handling so many tables at a time . Food was good and my kids were happy . This is one of our neighborhood favorites . read more

Beautiful ambiance! Dark, cozy, and nice for small groups. Enjoyed a double date with friends where they recommended the burgers. Waiter recommended burgers and steak frites so we went with it. In general, food was very good. Slightly smaller portions that I would expect for the price but it's Gold Coast and probably better for the waistline. That said burger was great! And the Bellevue was two 4oz patties which they still managed to cook medium rare without me asking. Chips were a great choice. I liked those way better than the fries. Now the steak frites does not photo well but my husband was very happy. I thought it was pretty salty but again he was happy and would get again. Our friends are obsessed with the Brussels sprouts which looked great. Loved their crab cakes although the waiter forgot to place the order so that came out after we finished the rest of the food but the waiter removed from the bill without asking. All in all, it was a good place and happy come back for another date. Covid precautions in order. read more

One of the best spots in the city. Staff is always excellent and the food and cocktails are top notch.

Came here on a busy Thursday night, had a wonderful experience. The truffle fries are a staple, cannot go wrong ordering those. The Faroe Island Cedar Planked Salmon was delicious and a pretty good portion size for being able to finish eating at the restaurant without having to take home leftovers. It came with a shaved raw vegetable salad and Meyer lemon vinaigrette, which perfectly complimented the salmon. Looking forward to coming back and trying the drink menu as well. read more

Espresso martinis are so good here!!! I also got a buffalo chicken salad and truffle fries. Both were great! I will definitely be back

Yummy food @ reasonable price, great service at a safe and clean venue...what else would you ask for? I was glad to be able to make a reservation at the popular restaurant weekend at the last min. My friend ordered Guacamole burger and I got Steak Frites - we both enjoyed. Their garlic aioli sauce worked very well with fries, for sure! The server was very knowledgeable and professional, and her timing to check on us was perfect! Tables are distanced away, they check guests' temperature upon entry, so we felt safe. read more

My friend and I were having a lovely lunch until a group of at least 10 women wanted to play bridge in the dining room and started to pull three tables to arrange their bridge game around us. It was intrusive. It was inappropriate. I spoke with management. These women typically use the private room every week on Wednesdays, however it was unavailable yesterday and instead of arranging a place for them to gather and play bridge, they came in and did as they pleased around other patrons. It was very poor taste as they were speaking loudly and took over the space. I expressed this to the manager and reluctantly took the gift certificate he offered as an apology but he offered nothing to the woman that was with me. Disappointing read more

2nd stop of the night late dinner This place has outside dining but we didn't want to wait so we took a inside booth Service was quick food options was plentiful I ordered buttermilk chicken, my friend ordered shrimp cocktail and rose The chicken was phenomenal but only came with a small side of coleslaw I ordered a side fries definitely not worth 4 bucks Nice cap on our evening I will be back read more

Now that Tavern on Rush is gone this is the MUST visit place. The service is great, the food is delicious, hence why it's always packed. We started off with the tuna taco and Wagyu Pigs. And two martinis. The tacos were amazing, super tasty, crunchy and a good portion. My bf gave the wagyu a 4/5 so it was good but he prefer my tuna tacos. I couldn't resist to get the classic Benedict, no bacon and I was super happy with my choice. Delicious and nutritious, I wish I asked for crispy Hashbrowns but I forgot so that's on me. My bf got the Reuben Sandwich and finished every bite. 5/5 he said!! We will definitely be back soon. It was about $130 post tip and we got decent amount of food (disregard the last two pics; they were of our friends, not included in our check). read more

I love luxbar! What a great place to have in the neighborhood -- on a Thursday night, this place was lively. It has a great energy -- just enough of a mix of casual and a little more than casual. Our waiter was great too, very friendly. The food is pretty good too. Although I am not in love with the cheese served with the pretzel. Good burger and sometimes I'm a little burger picky. read more

This place is a vibe. We accidentally came on a Saturday night and also the day of the Kentucky derby so it was very loud and pretty busy. The tables were too close together so I had to push my seat really into the table to give the person behind me enough room, again I assume this was because it was an event day. The drinks were good and the food was very tasty. I would totally come back when we're back in town! read more

First off, there's tons of options for food which is really good when you want a quick bite or even just wanna have a chill lunch. We got the smoked chicken wings (8/10), Aussie BBQ Burger (8/10), and the macaroni (7/10). The service from beginning to end was AMAZING, Alycia makes everyone feel comfortable and was really accommodating and was def the reason why the experience was a 10/10. Overall, the restaurant is so chic and cozy - will definitely be returning! read more

Bad experience from start to finish. We had a reservation and the hostess forgot about us. We realized she was sitting people who arrived after us, so we went to ask and finally got a table.. not a great one, but it was at least something. Took a while to get service.. my drink had something in it. Waiter took it back and I got another.. no apology. Food was bland and subpar. Not worth it. Pigs in a blanket that tasted like air fried frozen ones for $15?? And what is wagyu about them? Lux Burger was bland and overcooked. Reminded me of a Big Mac. Fries were pretty good. It is very very loud. I had a headache walking out. I would not recommend this place. 2 stars because the chocolate cake and wine were good. This place is not a good look for Gibson's... a blemish on their brand in my opinion. read more

Solid place for all meals. I have some here for many work lunches. The service and the food are consistent. They have really good fries. I recommend the calamari and Brussels sprouts to share. Their sandwiches are big. My go-to lately is the steak frites. With other near by restaurants closing during covid, thankfully this neighborhood gem has remained open. read more

Food was very underwhelming. I've been here twice, once was for a private event and the second time was with a friend for dinner and drinks. Service was great, the food was not. Staff was so attentive and courteous though. Shrimp cocktail - overcooked and very rubbery. Shrimp did not have any flavor so I had to dunk it in the cocktail sauce. Oysters - these were okay. Not sure if it was just the lemon but something tasted a bit bitter. New York strip - this was decent. It was made correctly, but it was lacking flavor. Steak frites - overcooked, I always get medium rare but this was more of medium well. The fries were a bit soggy. Overall, for these prices I would expect better quality. I like the ambiance of this restaurant and I liked the space upstairs more than the downstairs. It's quieter and roomier up there so it's much easier to have a conversation. read more

Givin' all my money to LUXBAR/ Gibson's today. Later I'm having a late supper with my son in Quartino's. But let's chat about LUXBAR first. Friday afternoon and it's packed. I love the energy in here so much. Equal love to our bar tender. Everyone is serving up the hospitality, amazing libations, and food! I have been enjoying Blueberry Airwaves. Hubby enjoyed Peach Emoji and now The Last Word. I tried all of them and they got the bill! House chips, house guacamole and smoked wings. Buffalo flavor on those smoked wings. DELICIOUS! I'm riding out the next hour here for sure . Kyle made this experience AMAZING! read more

Cocktails were tasty, but rather small. Steak sliders were a 7/10, ribs were not good at all. Truffle friends were excellent . We went on Easter morning...and they were out of 4 different appetizers? How do you let this happen on one of the busiest brunch days? We dad have great service though. Will give it another shot read more

5 years later this is still one of my favorite restaurants. Coming here on average twice a week and pretty much always ordering the same thing And I'm very sad I probably will not be enjoying their patio season this year. Anyways!! I'm super happy they are still open during this time of the 'rona! I've been trying to support local places once a week and so happy that luxbar is still open. I still see a few friendly faces which is great. Places a large order to hold me and my roommate down for a few days; simple salad, bellview burger, lux royal burger, Cobb salad, fries and chicken tenders. Everything was packaged perfectly and even though I was able to dine in doors I enjoyed the same fresh yummyness from my kitchen island. Thank you for being open and being kind to your customers. Can't wait for you to reopen read more

Let me tell you!! Service x 1000. Thank you Natalie for Ana amazing time! What an amazing manager! Natalie's amazing service was equaled by our server Andy. What a gentlemen! We had a table of 12 which is never easy and Andy was a champion with all of us! Apologies there are a few others whose names I don't recall BUT at the end of the day food/ambiance./service was second to nobody. 5 stars doesn't give this place it's due diligence. Already looking forward to going back. Kudos Natalie and Andy! read more

Thank you so much Kevin and Kristopher with a K. I'm not a big drinker and I requested pineapple juice multiple times and received it. It was that good pineapple juice and great quality. I'm a bit of a pineapple connoisseur and I could tell right away it was Dole. When the bar was closing I asked for an orange. Not only was that orange easy to peel but it had great flavor. Often times I go into the grocery store and their oranges be dry. That was a fabulous orange. I will be back for more pineapple juice and oranges. I was impressed with the organization of all the alcohols and how sturdy the shelf was good work. read more

LOUD. So very loud. Five of us ate in silence because we refused to scream. (And we're in our 30s/40s, we can handle some noise.) We've lived around the corner for 8 years, came here last night for the first time, and won't be back. read more

2020 restaurant week $24 brunch menu: Mimosa, pancake souffle, chicken and waffles I don't drink alcohol normally so I can't comment on the mimosa. If you see souffle pancake, your mind might instantly want to compare it to Japanese souffle pancakes like mine did. Aesthetics-wise, this pancake souffle is just an eyesore. I attached a photo so how torn up it is around the surface. It even fell apart from the bottom when I cut it into it and picked it up. Texture wasn't like Japanese souffle pancakes but that's fine, the batter was still tasty. Can't say the same for my waffles. Waffles were wonderfully soft but lacking in flavor. Chicken were thin and dry. Very loud inside, minimal space between tables - I know, it's a bar. Service took a while to make its way to me to certain parts of the dining process but it was packed. Overall, underwhelming food experience, at least the brunch part, for a restaurant connected to the Gibsons restaurants. I think some food/comfort quality was sacrificed for quantity in terms of variety of menu options and stuffing as many people as possible in the bar. https://www.yelp.com/collection/8mCXaaKQAQ7hn-PPUG9iXQ?utm_content=Collections&utm_source=ashare read more

My friends and I spent our New Year's Eve at Luxbar and had such a great experience! We arrived a bit early for our table and had a round of martinis upstairs at the bar while we waited. The three bartenders up there took great care of us, getting us drinks and closing our tab quickly so we could head downstairs as soon as our table was ready. Sophie greeted us as we sat down and took great care of us for our entire stay, checking in regularly without making us feel rushed. Her recommendations were spot on and we had an amazing meal, starting with salads, then Steak Frites (which were so flavorful and tender) and Brussels Sprouts, and then finishing with ice cream and sparkling wine for dessert. We'll definitely be back again! read more
