My big group
Carolina V.

Lux Bar was such a fun experience, especially with a big group! The food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was beyond fun. There was such a lively energy throughout the night, but what really stood out to me was the beautiful Parisian feel--it honestly felt like we were dining at a charming little restaurant in Paris. Great food, great atmosphere, and such a fun place to enjoy with a group. I'd definitely come back!

Espresso Martini & Brut Rosé
Katie P.

Really enjoyed our "girl lunch" here - rosé & truffle fries were outstanding! Buffalo chicken salad & French onion soup were good as well. Patio has a beautiful ambiance, however we weren't able to sit outside due to the bees (attracted to all the beautiful flowers).

Seared tuna appetizer
Christi C.

Such an amazing spot! We left the 360 experience (mind blowing views, btw!), and found LUXBAR was within walking distance. We were so happy we stumbled upon this awesome place! We were able to sit outside in the shade, and the weather was absolutely perfect. The service was so fast, and the food and drinks were out within 10 mins of ordering. We had the steak frites and the tuna appetizer.. both were so fresh and delicious! We highly recommend trying LUXBAR out!

RUN DON'T WALK TO GET THE TUNA MELT!!!!! Lux bar - if you're reading this please keep the tuna melt on the menu permanently. It's been the sandwich of the month for the last two months and I am so sad it's going away soon. Truly one of the best sandwiches I've had and definitely the best tuna melt I've had. Regardless if you make it to Lux Bar before the end of the month, this is one of my favorite spots ever and you can't go wrong with ordering!! They have the best cocktails too - my favorite is the skinny spicy margarita & their espresso martini is amazing too.

Buffalo chicken salad (half of it) grilled gluten free
Zoe G.

The decor is cool, however it was SO loud inside. One of the loudest restaurants I've been in in a long time. Walking outside after dinner was a breath of fresh air, extremely noticeable right when you walk in how loud it was. I did not like my drink at all, it tasted like cough syrup lol! Did not even finish it. My friend loved the Moscow mule. They have a whole separate gluten free menu which is awesome! Food was good!! Steak frites was delicious. They split the Buffalo chicken salad into two bowls for us! I do wish I asked for them to chop the salad when I ordered. This is my one friends favorite bar! I don't think I would return but maybe some day

Steak frites

Overall just OK. Surprised to find this kind of food in this area: mainly burgers and sandwiches. Chicken fingers appetizer was delicious. Steak frites was from Gibson's but not spectacular. I liked that they can do half orders.

Our luxbar mules.
Espe C.

We are visiting Chicago and found the restaurant- bar on line as it was the closest to our hotel. The place seemed on line to have a good ambiance. We ordered the sliders and guac with chips. The appetizers were good and mules were amazing. My only complaint is that the place was extremely loud. It was so loud we couldn't enjoy our drinks and appetizers on a Monday night.

THe best pretzel
Cherie G.

Stopped in for lunch and it was great! We sat inside in a booth. Service was great. The pretzels are the move here, love that they are not loaded with salt. TY! I had the California salad with salmon and it was so good and fresh. Hubbs had the burger and said it was great. Solid place !

I've been here 3 times now, so it's time for me to review! Luxbar is a very convenient place to eat if you're in Gold Coast. It's in an area with a bunch of restaurants, but I always find myself coming here. It's your standard American menu with steak, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. I got the Lux burger with cheese and bacon. Honestly, the bacon was way overcooked, crunchy, and hard to eat, but I can't say it ruined the meal. I asked for a Sprite, but I'm 99% sure it was Sierra Mist/Starry or Sprite Zero or something. I know it wasn't Sprite, though. It wasn't good. I went on New Year's Eve, and it was decorated so nicely! Lux already has a beautiful restaurant, but the balloons they had all around downstairs and upstairs were really cute. We were given the option to sit downstairs where there was more action, or upstairs where it was a bit quieter, which I appreciated. Our server was very kind and nice. I really liked her vibe, and I wish I remembered her name to give her a shoutout here. Of course, I'd recommend coming here. Despite the small hiccups, I do still find Luxbar to be a pretty good restaurant.

Kale & Avocado
Erin C.

Went here for brunch after church and it was really good. We had the kale pizza and kale and avocado salad very very good. I also had a drink, but I can't remember the name of it. Our server was very kind and attentive. It was very cozy as we sat by the upstairs window watching everyone go about their day is very nice and cozy inside as the day was chilly. The vibe here is friends gathering for brunch

Country Corned Beef Hash
Andre W.

What can I say about Luxbar that hasnt been already said?! Its definitely a gem in the area an of course a staple. Patio is always full and the inside is usually packed. The Lux Royale burger is very good and it always nice to wash it down with Luxbar Old Fashioned. Came by for brunch recently and had a really good meal. Karla was our server and was really good. I got the Country Corned Beef hash and it was very good! Three Eggs over medium, hash browns, caramelized onions and mustard makes for a good dish! I got an english muffin also as you can choose a toast with the dish. Washed it all down with the Corpse Reviver which is a fantastic gin cocktail that includes lillet blanc, lemon and absinthe. One of my favorite places in the area...always a good time and good meal.

Menu
Ayanna F.

Great atmosphere. Sat at the bar. Truffle fries ordered. The food menu is vast. The bar tender had attentive service.

Our food that was left by the door for almost 10 minutes
Megan K.

I've been to Luxbar multiple times, its a good spot to get drinks / some bites. I went for lunch Sunday with some friends, the server took a while to make his rounds before he got back to us. Once our food was ready, the food runner set it out next to both doors. The food runner just left it there for almost 10 minutes until we called our waiter over to ask if it was our food that was sitting there. People were walking in and out, waiting for their tables, and exiting the building. All within inches of the food. Kinda gross, but honestly the food here is pretty solid but nothing amazing overall. It's more of a spot for ambiance.

Five stars for Bar Siena on Randolph, but the real shoutout goes to Alyssa!…read more She was managing an entire room, including the bar, and the place was absolutely packed. Despite how busy it was, she couldn't have been kinder, more attentive, or more generous with her hospitality. She made our entire experience so enjoyable and somehow even found time to surprise us with some EPIC tiramisu! It's people like Alyssa who turn a great afternoon out into a memorable one. Bar Siena is lucky to have her, and we'll absolutely be back!

I finally decided to check out this hot spot for myself. In need of a little caffeine, I stopped in…read morefor an espresso martini. The presentation was on point, but unfortunately, the drink itself didn't quite live up to expectations. It wasn't served cold enough, and the sweetness was overpowering, with the syrup taking center stage and very little noticeable vodka flavor. While the aesthetics were there, the temperature and balance of the drink missed the mark. A little refinement in the mix and a properly chilled pour would go a long way toward making this a standout cocktail. The service could also use some improvement, as the staff could have been a bit more attentive. On the plus side, the space has a nice vibe, and the music strikes a good balance without being overly loud. Overall, the atmosphere makes for a pleasant setting, but there's room for improvement when it comes to the cocktail quality and service.

I popped in here solely to have a drink and use the facilities and found myself wishing I had spent…read moremore time here or had room for a bite to eat. The bar service was excellent - a cold beer and finally, a shot of Malort were in order. The bartenders were very welcoming and clearly making sure all of the patrons were having a good time. The restrooms were oddly decorated - the women's restroom is plastered all over with images of Justin Timberlake, while Britney Spears adorns the walls of the men's room. Luckily, her pics aren't current - they are from her hot era. What a cool spot if you are a local or a tourist - I'll be sure to pop in on my next visit to Chicago, for sure.

Kari's Rating 4/10…read more When you think of west loop you think of good food-it's not definitely not here. Nashville hot chicken didn't really taste like chicken and the pickles were dipped in a weird vinegar. The tenders also came with four breakfast pancakes...like what? The menu said the Nashville tenders came with scallion pancakes which is a savory Asian pancake...but these were 4 American breakfast pancakes. Bandit also didn't have any butter or syrup...so what the actual heck was supposed to happen to these pancakes-it was just a waste. I remember having this incredible kung pao cauliflower bites here and they said they changed the menu but still had cauliflower. I forgot to ask for them the kung pao style like the appetizer and I ordered them in buffalo sauce-two choice. The cauliflower was so droopy and squishy when I got it. The buffalo sauce only made it worse as none of it was crispy and the whole meal was drenched in buffalo sauce. It was a communication issue on my end for sure, but I also thought it was going to be much crispier and not soggy. The ranch definitely was mixed with water and it dropped off anything I put in it. Our server was a really nice lady and none of this was her fault as she tried to substitute the cauliflower. She was decently attentive and very busy as she started serving a large party of 10 next to us outside on the patio. Unfortunately I wouldn't come back here if someone paid me. I know this is more of a sports bar but for something that was around $75-theres definitely better tasting food literally everywhere else. The only good thing about this meal were the waffle fries which were probably frozen before serving but I'm trying to find the silver lining.
