    Steak Tacos

    I said I would be back and I went back for wing Wednesday! It was amazing!! I even brought another person with me who enjoyed the food as well! The wings definitely were falling off the bone and paired well with the onion rings we ordered! We also had this flavored cider was sooooo good (they no longer serve that flavor)! The service was quick and easy going! The ambiance inside was great, I got to eat wings and watch a sports game lol made me feel like I was human again outside of med school!

    Fantastic spot for a casual weekday hang out with friends!! After a very busy summer we realized we hadn't seen in each other in a while. One of us was craving wings so we turned to instagram to find bottomless wings in Chicago! After a bit of scrolling we stumbled upon Pour Decisions! It's $20 for bottomless wings. They have multiple flavors to pick from and each comes with ranch or blue cheese! 8 wings come in each basket. We tried the buffalo, pour decisions mix, teriyaki, garlic parm and the spicy Unami! Our favorite was the Teriyaki!! Our server was super sweet and patient. We kept forgetting to look at the menu and deciding which flavors we wanted! They had trivia (Thursday @ 7:30) which was fun but also made us realize we don't know a lot of things haha.

    Our drinks were really good! I got pulled into this spot because of the name, "Pour Decisions." That's epic and sounds like a place we've all been and will probably be again lbvs - Anthony

    100/100 Hands down. Droped in randomly on a Thursday evening and they had a $10 burger special. Why not right? Yeahhhh we made a really good choice. Our server was phenomenal and sweet. Very attentive and knew how to help us make food decisions. To pair with my burger I ordered the blood on the leaves cocktail which is whiskey base. The bartender did not disappoint and it was incredibly strong. Definitely a sipper type of cocktail. The medium well done burger was charred perfectly on the outside while still super juicy on the inside. I literally can swear that this burger melted in my mouth. I haven't had a burger this good in so long. The chef, Alex, did his thaaaang. So much so I had to meet him and tell him. I definitely will be returning for sure.

    Have been wanting to try Pour Decisions since it opened. I like this place! An extremely friendly and genuine bartender and decent food. Not sure if it was just for football but they had an excellent burger deal - $8 with fries. The place is nicely renovated but wouldn't say that there is anything unique about the ambiance. Come for a good conversation and a beer!

    Good place to go if you make lots of poor decisions. It certainly can make you feel better it seems. Pour Decisions is one of the newer places in Lincoln Park for getting drinks, food, and whatever. Has live entertainment. The prices aren't that good, but aren't that bad for the area to be honest. Came in the evening after a busy time and needed some good drinks and food. It has the good drinks at least. The food was pretty average, and on top of that, expensive for that kind of stuff. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktail. Too much. I got the Lincoln Park Paloma, because it was the cheapest. We got the Black Truffle Fries. It's $12, but it's big. The food options are pretty lacking and not much besides greasy fried type of stuff. For the average food and prices, we may not come back. It's in a hip area, so they can get away with it. There's not much on the menu to eat for vegans and vegetarians.

    I had a private party with about 55 people. I worked with Frank on getting everything set up. He's very responsive and diligent. The staff was very friendly and took great care of our guests. The food was delicious! We had the beef sliders, fried sides and Wings. So good!! The space is gorgeous! Lots of places to sit and relax and the pool table is a great add. I highly recommend this place for food or a party.

    Fried Pickles

    Rafa was the best!! The fried pickles & wings were amazing!! If you love wings go on Wednesday to get bottomless!

    Spicy rum cocktail--off menu
    Priya K.

    Stopped in early evening on a weekday for a couple drinks. The bartender was absolutely amazing. He was well versed on the menu and cocktail making in general. I had asked for a rum based cocktail on the menu (the only one), but they were phasing that one out (seasonal). He offered to make me something else rum based and asked my flavor profiles. Both drinks were fantastic! My friend got a couple from the menu and really enjoyed them too. The ambiance started off pretty standard, but then there was live jazz music being played later in the evening which was wonderful! 100% will return. We didn't try the food on this visit, but I intend to next time.

    Came here for a drink & an apps before our dinner reservation across the street. Place had a lot of specialty options. They did have a half off happy hour (but basically any of the specialty cocktails were included). There was no signage or promotion to this (we were basically told this after we decided on our drinks). Price range is pretty high. We got the truffle fries and they were good but nothing special for the price. Server was friendly but was pretty busy with the other tables so it was hard to track her down when we were all set for the bill.

    Servers were great. So many tv's so conducive for football season. the wings were good and the CBR poutine was so good.

    Food was great!! The service was outstanding, all employees literally running around for us!! Location the spot was amazing!! Already booked our next party!

    Purple drink is the Social Butterfly- a new gin drink  On the right is the Paloma- a refreshing take on a margarita

    I have been frequenting both the salon and the bar here for quite some time now…read more I have never met a more community-minded business than Buzzed by Zea and it is all on account of Jerry and Lee and their friendly and welcoming staff - all of them willing to go above and beyond to support their friends, neighbors, patrons, and emerging businesses. Truly a wonderful place to get your style on over drinks. After Salon hours this place turns into a cozy little bar with wonderful cocktails and excellent service where you can actually have a conversation with friends. How old fashioned is that!? The venue is also an event space! Our theater company has now done two amazing benefits here and - wow, what an amazing event space this is. Three bar service locations, ample seating space, a cozy atmosphere, welcoming staff, and an upscale, luxurious feel to the whole place. We never get tired of coming here. But all of that together does not measure up to the heart and soul of the space brought to it by Jerry and Lee. Go. You'll fall in love too.

I entered, and an greeted by a salon smell. It was not overpowering and was arguably pleasant, and but I see a bar to the left, so I am in the right place. Fair enough, I have a seat. This isn't them being cute with a theme, there is a bona-fide salon here, though it does not operate as late as the bar and was tucked away behind a curtain. Speaking to a regular, it is possible to have a cocktail while having your hair cut (or maybe waiting at some point in the process?) But I digress. I ordered a Taxi Dancer - an extremely pleasant whiskey-based drink that was spirit forward without being overwhelming (though I drink whiskey neat, so take this with a grain of salt). It had a perfect level of sweetness, and a little spice (not heat). The vibe here is upscale, modern, and bright. The bar staff is friendly and welcoming to newcomers and regulars alike. I also love that their prices seem to be reasonable, all things considered. The aforementioned cocktail is $16, which is fair considering the quality. While on that particular night I only had the one, I will be happily adding Buzzed by Zea to my cocktail bar rotation when I feel like going out for a night on the town.

The bartenders are always very friendly and check in often which is always appreciated. You're always immediately given little pretzels to snack on which I love as a unique touch.

I would definitely recommend Elixir to anyone looking for a spot to grab a quick and delicious cocktail!

    On our first night in Boystown, Jamie W and I were pretty overwhelmed by the crowds at Sidetrack…read moreand Roscoe's, so we ended up coming here to make Jamie's virginal gay bar debut. It was the right move because it had the kind of chill vibe we were seeking after a long flight from SFO. Fortunately there were two seats at the bar with our names on them. Figuratively speaking. They had quite a signature cocktail list on hand, and we felt it was our obligation to try as many as we could. At least that was what we said to ourselves as the evening wore on. Each cocktail was $14. We started with a couple of familiar libations. Jamie ordered the Mint Julep, a delightfully Deep South mix of bourbon, simple syrup, and fresh mint (photo: https://yelp.to/u-td8LdPLj). I went further south with the Pineapple Margarita which was emboldened by a tropically potent mix of pineapple infused tequila, lime juice, and agave (photo: https://yelp.to/V-Sf6Q_2qK). We got a bit bolder with our second round and found mixed results. Jamie had the Not Your Mom's Daiquiri which amped up the margarita by blending pineapple-infused tequila with Bacardi 8-year rum. Along with fresh lime and simple syrup, this one definitely had more of a kick (photo: https://yelp.to/1ZijDf6wMV). However, my order, the Pontiac Pony, was a spicy miss for me. It was a rather oddball mix of apple-cinnamon infused vodka, pear liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and ginger beer (photo: https://yelp.to/5dQoFdzG98). There was just a harshness that didn't sit well on my tongue. Oh well, the mellow vibe was cool.

    This is a bittersweet review as this establishment recently closed. But I still feel the need to…read moregive them their props as I was definitely going to add Lost Never Found (LNF) to my rotation of places to hang out at. I happened to discover LNF during a Yelp Event when LNF turned into Rudolph's Bar, a jolly holly Xmas Extravaganza! I do not believe there was a single spot in the bar that had not been covered in Xmas decorations. It was total sensory overload to the point I did not put up any directions 2025 because I had seen enough at LNF. HAHAHAHAHA! On the strength of the food and drinks that night, I decided to go back once all of the Xmas hoopla was over. Going back in 2026 was a more subdue, but enjoyable time for me. As I mentioned in my 2025 review, even with all the Xmas decoration, the overall vibe was a step up from the typical bars around the Cubs playground. I would have loved a regular girls night out there instead of the last hurrah of me and The Queen. I had mentioned to her about the cocktails and the pizzas I had during the Yelp event and we decided to stop in before heading to the Alamo Drafthouse for a movie. Me and The Queen go the Spicy Sausage pizza and those fries, since I talked about the food to her. Again it was really good, with the crust still being nice and thin. The Queen did not think it was all that spicy, but she eats Hell Ramen Level 4, so I do not look to her for confirmation of hotness when it comes to food. We had cocktails and The Queen (because she was driving) had a Margarita made with a zero proof Tequila. I have to say it was not that bad and I got one and added Prosecco to it...delish. Me and The Queen had a great time chatting, eating and drinking at LNF, but were both sad that we were going to miss out on the opportunity to turn this into one of our rotation hangouts. But I will always be grateful for them introducing me to their Red Bull Winter Spritz. Since that Yelp Event, I have bought three cases of Red Bull Sugar-Free Fuji Apple and Ginger Winter Edition Energy Drink to make the cocktail. Not sure if it is exactly how they did it, but it works for me. So long LNF, it was good knowing you, even if it was for a short time. Deuces!

    My goal is to try 50 new Chicago restaurants in 2025!…read moreRestaurant: 63/50 Month tried: November Favorite dish: I would not eat here again Woooof. We had a reservation for 9 am the day of the Michigan/Northwestern game at Wrigley Field. Figured we would have a quick brunch then go enjoy the pre-game atmosphere. Well, when we had been sitting for nearly 30 minutes with no server to be found, we started to get nervous. She finally came over and while she was sweet, really just nothing went right. A food runner brought out a tray that appeared to have all of our orders, but then only served one plate before walking away. It was a solid 10-15 minutes before anyone else's meals were brought out, and even then it was one plate at a time every few minutes, not the rest of the order at once. And everything was cold. Every single item. The chicken and waffles felt like it came out of the fridge it was so cold. And the worst part - we had a member in our party with a severe nut allergy, who told the server 3 times. She noted it, and made sure he would get white toast instead of wheat. When his meal came, there were two huge pieces of wheat toast with visible nuts across his ENTIRE plate. Touching every piece of food. He said again that he was allergic, and they just removed the toast and handed the plate back. It had already touched everything! Since at this point we had to leave soon for the game (and because we now couldn't trust a kitchen that doesn't understand a nut allergy), we just had them remove his order from the check and he didn't get to eat. The server did take 20% off the total bill and gave us a gift card to make up for our terrible experience. Like I said, she was very nice and trying her best. She was just at the mercy of the kitchen being behind and screwing up. But as a Wrigleyville restaurant, you MUST be able to handle lots of customers on a game day. That's like the one thing Wrigley bars need to be good at. This is just not an environment I would choose to be in again, especially for the steep prices. We'll use the gift card for drinks at the bar on a non-game day, and wipe our hands of Lost Never Found.
