Absolutely love this spot. Hate that they close the kitchen 1 hour earlier BUT ITS STILL JUST A GREAT SPOT. During the day it's a restaurant. Occasionally I'll take my daughter for wings and to play darts. Their wings are fantastic. read more

Blue Island has a law that if you visit town you have to come here. I'm not serious, but maybe it should be one. Natural Law is one of the better bars I would say, after checking out a few others in town. Has some very good drinks. The food not so much but it's edible mostly. Came in with my female friend. It always seems to have specials going on. We got the 10 ounce frozen machine drinks special. It's $5 every day. The one we got was the Malibu Berry, good stuff. It hardly tasted like there was alcohol. There was. As for food there's not much good. There's mostly typical greasy bar stuff. We had the Fry Basket. It's $3 so it's shit ass cheap. These weren't so terrible to be honest. Follow the saying of "you get what you pay for." In this case pay little and get something fairly okay. This place isn't like it's anything special but it will do if needing to get blitzed or if you're just watching people blitzing in a football game or whatever. read more

Nothing bad to say about Jackie's place. She's super sweet and most of her bartenders are awesome! Food is great. I would just like to mention that if you ID one person, you should definitely be consistent about it. I've never been carded there before until I decided it was a good idea for my husband and I to go for a date since we hadn't really been out. Me having lost my ID at the time, didn't think twice about it because Im almost 30 and have been there on numerous occasions and celebrations without being carded. We ended up leaving 30 min later because I couldn't drink and it ruined the mood. No hard feelings because I know it's literally your job to check ID. But keep it consistent so other people don't make the same mistake I did. Waste of babysitting services read more

Not just any old bar food. The chef works his magic behind the kitchen curtain creating dishes served up fresh, hot and tasty. Natural Law offers a great menu to choose from and plenty of ice cold spirit. One of our favorites. read more

I used to go here often. I went last night, 10/29 and the service was awful. There were 3 patrons in the restaurant but the server was rude and inattentive. The food was subpar. The drinks were just ice and mixers and the menu prices went up, but the quality went down. read more

actually went down to Blue Island to visit another bar but upon arrival found it was closed. My friend and I ended up at the next closest bar which was Natural Law. This ended up being a happy accident and we had a great time and were taken of by a great staff. Great local spot that was cozy and had a great selection of local brews. This included one that had one of best names for a beer I've ever heard - MASSIVE POLITICAL CORRUPTION. These are the kinda bars in that make me homesick when I leave Chicago. Definitely a spot u shd hit up when in the area. read more

The atmosphere is amazing. With Nick doing his amazing chef skills in the kitchen, And Jackie and Bridget running and hosting a wonderful restaurant, we couldn't ask for more. All the more reason I'm so glad that we host it My Precious's birthday party last year. It was a slam dunk. Every Monday night, my woman and I go to the restaurant for $.50 we night. We've loved it ever cents. When you're talking about great food, folks, fun and the perfect atmosphere, you can't go wrong at the natural law. Marlon and LarHonda read more

New bar that just opened up down on Olde Western. It's another quality addition to a strip that already includes Blue Island Brewery, Rock Island Public House and Maple Tree Inn. They have pretty cheap drinks, they had hamm's for only $2 and all the other beers were reasonably priced, including some from Blue Island Brewery just across the street. They have a pretty good food menu for a bar, I just got the fried brussel sprouts, I liked them, they were big and you got a lot for $7. The bartenders were all very nice and the service was fast. Easy street parking just outside the bar. I'd be down to return sometime and try some of their other food options read more

This place was a million places before it became Natural Law. Even when it opened up I'm sitting here thinking "what kinda f***in' name is that?!" Anyways. Fast forward to now. Finally got to eat here on my day off and boy was I surprised. I've been hearing nothing but good things about the food from main chef Jaime Esparza, and they were all correct. Got the burger with fries. Some part of that burger had a hint of cinnamon to it... maybe the bun, maybe the burger (turns out it was the pickles!!)... either way, it never got to far and added to the total enjoyment of the burger. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries are FRESH CUT I need to emphasize. Manzo's has been doing this and I cannot emphasize how important it is... Beers are on point, food's on point; just get here. read more

Super delicious food, friendly and accommodating staff and owner. Really great place.

This is my second visit to Natural Law. I thought my first visit one in the afternoon might have been a fluke. It wasn't The burger was properly cooked to order, well constructed and appetizingly presented by a super attentive bartender. If she doesn't have a piece of this rock, she should! My second visit was in the evening, on a busy Friday. I had a Cubano this time. The experience was identical. The true mark of a quality restaurant! Natural Law also has a symbiotic relationship with a brewery, Blue Island Brewing across the street. Natural Law deliverers hot quality sustinance over to the Brewpub and they provide top shelf Blue Island Brewery Craft Brew to Natural Law's patrons. Trust me, it's a marriage made in Heaven. Check it out! read more

We just had our future daughter-in- law 's Bridal shower at Natural Law. Amazing, outstanding and exceptional are 3 words I heard from family and friends that attended. Thanks Jacqui for your dedication to Natural Law to make it A plus establishment. Thanks to Jamie and Bernie and staff for outstanding service, care and concern for us before during and after the shower. The food was so very delicious. Everyone rave about the pulled pork sandwiches and delicious chicken, salad, arancini and house cut fries. If you are looking for a fabulous place to have a party or just a great place to have delicious food and large variety of drinks head to Natural Law Eatery and Pub. read more

Service, food, drinks are all amazing! My husband and I tried Brussels sprouts, hush puppies and poutine. They were all delicious. We also had some cocktails and a draft beer. After we enjoyed the place for a while, he ordered the Lawless Burger and I ordered pulled pork. There should be a word better than amazing. The servers were very attentive and anticipated our needs. Price was the most reasonable I've seen in a while. Check out this place! read more

Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches over the phone when i walked in to pick them up both women at the bar just stared at me and didn't acknowledge me when I walked up to the bar I seen my order on the counter and I could've just grabbed it if someone just directed me to it but instead she answered a phone call before attending me. I had to tell them that was mine for them to pay attention to me. 2 stars bc the food was very good thankful for the chef but if ur a shade too dark dont expect to get treated the same as there white clientele read more

Natural Law is one of the best dive bars I've been too during this pandemic. Each and every one of the staff is so friendly, and you can tell they keep clean! I don't feel uncomfortable going here to have a drink and a nice bite. Moving on to the food, one word: DELICIOUS. If you have the chance you have to get the Elote Hush Puppies, I think about them all the time. Another great appetizer is their Brussels sprouts! I'm getting hungry as I write this! Seriously, check them out! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I were at the Brewery across the street and decided to order delivery since we saw a bunch of others eating food from here and it looked delicious. I always get nervous about ordering out because I have a couple odd, severe food allergies. My husband called and asked them about my allergies to see if cross contamination would be an issue. Most places are understanding but still seem dismissive to the severity of the situation, so I always worry about ordering. Everyone at Natural Law took the extra time to confirm the ingredients of each sauce, etc. to make sure I would not be affected. They even went the extra mile where the chef called us back to make us aware that my husband's order may have been marinaded with ingredients I am allergic to, and gave him the option to change his order. Establishments like this make me feel not only safe, but comfortable eating out. I can not thank them enough. Additionally, our food was so incredibly fresh, flavorful, and speedy! read more

This place is awesome! Bartender very friendly and always there for your next drink. Jackie the owner is phenomenal. Very welcoming couldn't do enough for us. I would recommend Natural Law 100% read more

Just picked up burgers for takeout. They were delicious! They come with enough fries for 3 people. The fries are seasoned, so if you don't like pepper, let them know. We will definitely order from them again! read more

Ordered my food over an hour ago for take out. they told me half hour. I get here pay for my food and still waiting. Over an hour and still here. Just ridiculous don't take over the phone orders if you can't have them ready on time. Or simply state that we need to come in an pay so you can start making the order read more

Best service and burger. I swear that burger was the best I have ever had. I got one to go and it still awesome warmed up the next day. They deliver to Blue Island Brewing Co. I live in the loop and I will definitely be going back to this awesome little spot. read more

It was our first time here and we were very pleased. Jackie the bartender went above and beyond. I asked what drinks they would recommend and she made me a drink that wasn't even on the menu. She made it on the spot and it was so delicious. She was also so attentive. She made the place even better. They also have a cool patio with bags and a fire pit read more

I'll cut to the chase - I love this place. Period. it was my first time at Natural Law. We came out to see an old friend play guitar from the 70's in our old neighborhood in Englewood. The brick facing and atmosphere are very cozy and welcoming. The bartenders are really on the ball, and the juke box satisfied my craving for punk rock after the entertainment left. Great selection of Clash & Sex Pistols on the jb. Little lantern candles on each table to light or not. I coaxed a gent at the bar to come over and light our fire with his lighter. The crowd is very diversified - nice mix of ages & cultures - always a plus. Nice place to hang a bar - right in the middle of old Western Ave. The area has evolved with the times, but the neighborhood is still the same. Lots of middle aged Bob Seger & Springsteen working class types drinking there, yet new aged millenials sitting right beside them. Even really old retired farts in their late 70's - everyone gathered around those beautiful big screen colored t.v.s. By the way, view of the Cubs game from the table was just like sitting behind home plate at Wrigley. Everything up close and personal - just the way I like to view my games. We ordered desert off the menu - the fried churros were awesome! Just the right lightness of being and a generous dusting of powdered sugar on them. Hats off to the owner of this place - she really "gets" the whole concept of creating an atmosphere where people want to escape to - a home away from home, but surrounded by 100 of your best buds. You can learn a lot about people and the world from anyone seated at the bar. It's almost got a Jimmy's Woodlawn Taplike vibe about it, except it's old Western Ave and not Hyde Park. I wish the owner a lot of success with this establishment. I will definitely be back for an encore! read more

They had the worst Bloody Mary I've had in my life. By all agreed upon society, a Bloody Mary is vodka and spiced tomato juice. Instead I got tequila, Jim beam, vodka, and guiness. The whole thing was almost liquor before they poured in a little tomato mix. It was god awful, so I asked to have it replaced with vodka and tomato mix and instead got vodka and plain, very plain tomato juice. Tremendous thumbs down for that. read more

There are so few good restaurants in our area which makes this place a stand out. We had heard from several people, including our daughter, that the food was terrific. We have been there twice now and couldn't, agree more. The arancini are to die for, burger and chicken sandwich great, fries perfect. Highly recommend. Go Blue Island! read more
