    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

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    French Omelette
    Kristyn F.

    Highly recommend this place for brunch. Pro tip - make a reservation, this place is busy. The vibe is low key and local, the menu is short but there is something for everyone. The drink menu is fun. I had a Bloody Mary with the Miller High Life pony sized beer add on - really Fun and well made. The French omelette was perfect, the right amount of food so you feel like going to sleep after brunch. All the flavors are fresh and the service is good.

    French onion soup
    Anna T.

    Came here Saturday day, vibes are so cute, and out waitress was sweet! I got a bloody, this was not good. Very watery/not much flavor. For lunch I got the French onion soup and the Reuben. The soup was great. The Reuben was very dry, could have used more sauce and flavor! I think this spot is popular for vibes and apps! For a good meal it was a miss.

We happened to already be in the city that day and somehow got lucky finding a reservation close to the time we were already nearby, so we knew we had to take our chance! The whole place is beautiful and has such a cozy, classic Chicago feel. I would absolutely come back, but next time I really want to sit outside because their outdoor patio is gorgeous. The staff was also super friendly and really helpful with recommendations throughout the night. We started with the warm Parker House rolls, which were so soft, fluffy, buttery, and delicious. Then we shared the vodka rigatoni, and the portion was definitely big enough for two people to split. So creamy, comforting, and really good. Of course we had to end with one of their classics, the sticky date cake, and OMG. Soooo good. Warm, rich, sweet, and the perfect way to finish dinner. Definitely worth finally checking off my list, and I'd happily come back again, especially for a patio night!

Because no way did we eat at the same place. WOW! It's only been a handful of times that I've had the urge to write a review while I'm still eating because of how amazing the experience is. The ambiance is bustling and will FOR SURE keep you awake as you fill your belly. And the burger? It's not just a burger, it's culinary art and a full on flavor experience. I was full well before my plate was empty, but I simply could not imagine reheating any part of it later. The egg was cooked to sunny-side perfection, and every bite was ridiculous. It's bar-style, so the fries came out first, hot and paired with a garlic aioli that absolutely did what it needed to do. Everyone moves with purpose. The food, the service, the atmosphere--this place is a well-oiled machine of greatness. 1000/10. Will absolutely be back.

We got the single cheeseburger with egg, the double cheeseburger with egg, the fried bologna sandwich with egg, crispy fries and the crispy potato hash! The single is a double patty and the double is a triple. The burgers were deliciously cooked and very hearty! Root beer compliments the burgers well! The crispy fries with the garlic aioli and mornay sauce were very yummy! The crispy potato hash was probably the lowlight of this meal... love the crispy-ness of the hash, didn't love the gravy. Service overall was okay, they were busy so it got slow once our food arrived. It does get loud inside so be prepared. Au Cheval lives up to the hype! We will totally go back for the burgers, crispy fries and root beer!

The burger had a lot of toppings, including a sauce and pickled onions and a very good amount of pickles. The Caesar salad honestly was not good, tasted very artificial and I probably would only try their sandwiches or appetizers if I went back. The truffle fries didn't have a strong truffle flavor, but I like the shoe string shape and they come with ketchup and mayo. But overall, a cute place, an easy walk in and a good patio!
