    Bramble

    This bar is kind of in a random location in Lincoln Park, but we went here because the whole upstairs is very Christmasy. The actual food is fine- Very much bar food. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken sandwich or brussel sprouts, but the fries and the burger were decent. I wouldn't really go out of my way to go here, but if I was in the area, I would stop in for a drink again! They do pop-ups upstairs all the time for the different holidays. The downstairs is a typical Irish pub. I enjoyed the cocktails, especially the bramble

    Happy Hour Review! I visited Albion Manor with a group of 6. They have outdoor patio seating, bar seating, and large booths to accommodate groups. The booths are a bit enclosed so we struggled to get the staffs attention at times to order. Service was a bit slow but our server did get more attentive. Our group ordered a variety of apps and drinks. I split the California Cab Sauv on special and thoroughly enjoyed it! My coworkers got the espresso martini, prickly pear mule, and the london fog. All said the drinks were well balanced and tasty. For food, the reuben egg rolls and fish and chips stole the show! Note that the HH Fish & Chips order had (1) filet where the regular order has (3). Our server was great about splitting our bill but it did end up having gratuity already added so make sure you pay attention.

    We had some beautiful weather over the weekend and we decided to take advantage of the patio at The Albion Manor. We tried these chipotle BBQ wings and they were delicious! The menu is English forward and I am looking forward to trying their shepherds pie. Additionally, we learned they are now starting trivia every Sunday at 6pm! We decided to play, lost, but had a lot of fun. The bartender (chandler I think his name was) is one of the nicest people ever and he showed us the cocktail lounge upstairs that is open Thursday through Saturday. The decor was beautiful, the food was great, and we cant wait to come back!

    This is such a cozy little corner spot! They have a comfortable pub downstairs, a second "speakeasy" type parlor room upstairs (themed for Halloween right now) and a nice patio with adorable fall decor. Service is friendly and drinks were tasty...did not try any food but the taro cocktail was unique and tasty

    Great drinks

    A hidden gem! We were really pleasantly surprised that every food item was high-quality and very tasty and fresh. The french fries were super crispy and they will even taste good when they're cold because they won't get soggy. The serving size for the cups of chewy and French soup were pretty amazing and plenty of food. The sourdough that came with the French soup and shepherds pie was toasted and buttered and tasted amazing. We loved it that French onion soup has so much onion. The only thing about the French onion soup I didn't like was it was very salty and too much black or white pepper. Is Free Parking on the street across the street. Upstairs has more seating and it's very comfortable. On the ground floor there are flatscreen TVs everywhere and there are many boots where you have your own TV and you can sit around with at least six people together. The seats are very comfortable. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very nice. The chef is wonderful here and we will continue to come back.

    Cool spot with great British pub decor. We stumbled in on a beautiful afternoon for some grub and drinks. The bartenders are very chill and nice, and service was overall quick. I got the steakhouse salad, which was a nice big portion. The cauliflower wings were just fried cauliflower with ranch on the side, nothing special. My glass of rosé went down nicely with the meal, and I enjoyed munching on my boyfriend's fries. The burger was good as well.

    Fish & Chips

    Love their lunch menu. Craving for fish and chip and I came here for brunch before and notice they serve fish and chip. Me and my boyfriend came to grab lunch. We order wings, fish&chips and Sheppard pie. I love their wings, very flavorful. The fish and chips was ok, the breading is a bit too much. The Sheppard pie is delicious would recommend people to get.

    Cute place to hang out for a quick bite before a movie at the Webster theater. This was our first time stopping in here as we had some time to kill before the movie. We were going to see Oppenheimer and based on the time, it would have been too late for The Doctor and my BFF to eat, so we decided to stop in here. Honestly, at first glance there is nothing that pulls one in to explore. I have gone to the Webster theater a lot and actually park on the side street where the restaurant is, but never felt a pull to check out the place. I am so glad that I did. The interior is very British pub looking. Based on some of the photos on the wall, you can see that they did some work to give the décor that feel of being in a pub. I was very happy to see that they had bubbles on the wine list. We got a bottle of sparkling rose prosecco. This alone will get me back in the joint as I love a good sparkling rose. This one has a hint of violet in it and is dry. I decided to start with the Ploughman's Plate (British Charcuterie). This consisted of several cheese and meat selections, Branston pickles, a pickled egg and crostinis. I laughed when I saw the menu calling this a British version of charcuterie because typically these platters focus very heavy on the bread, cheese and pickles, maybe throwing in some ham. This plate did have meat though. Overall this was a good dish, but I was not a fan of the crostini and asked for regular bread. The pickled egg was very good and it would have been nice to have a second one as part of the presentation, just something to think about. For our main course we got the Albion Burger (Beef Patty, Arugula, Bacon Jam, Garlic Aioli, Smoked Gouda). The bacon jam was a nice touch as it added a little of sweetness against the meat and cheese. The burger itself was good, not overcooked, with fries. I saw that there was Shepherd's pie on the menu that I would like to go and try. I love that dish but oddly enough, not many places do it justice. So I am always on the hunt for a good one. Service was good as we sat at the bar. The bartender took good care of us and got us out in time to walk across the street to get to our movie on time. This joint will definitely be on our radar as a place to hang when we come to The Webster for movies.

    Twas a fun menu - limited but curated. We went on sporcle night which made it a little loud. The place was spread deep rather than wide. Bathroom was clean. Service was good. The food took a while to come out. Has malt vinegar! Curry fries: were well seasoned and generous portion size served with a curry dip of sorts. Not the crispy type of fries. Shepherd's Pie: was hearty and the buttery toasted bread it was served with was delectable. Beef chili: was served with tortilla chips so I ate it more like a dip. Didn't really have any broth or liquid to it for a chili. More like a sauté (?) but not bad.

    When I walked in I couldn't believe the low stars this place had. It is so beautiful inside. I tried to really Capture the beauty of every detail but that was impossible. The bottom line is that if you're not spending a lot of money you will not receive good service. My husband and I stopped here for a drink before a reservation and it was like we didn't even exist. Maybe we were invisible? There is a table of guys who were there to watch some sports game they ordered a ton of stuff they were loud noxious sitting at every table to find the best spot with the best TV demanding the channel to be changed. The staff waited on them hand and foot meanwhile I couldn't even flag down our bartender to ask for a second drink.

It is definitely unique, creative, and a massive differentiator from any other cocktail bar I've been to. Now, let's talk cocktails! The creativity of the interior extends into the menu. Unlike some places that just make variations of existing classics (except for items specifically so named, like the Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini), all of their cocktails are unique and interesting. Time for a punch card? I ordered the Maximillian the Imposter. While I'm not typically a fan of banana (except for banana bread), I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone, and I wanted to try something 'flaming'. Flaming it was! The preparation of the drink involved a surprising amount of fire. I initially thought this was just for show, but no, this translated into a noticeable smoky flavor. Beyond that, the drink was strong, not overly sweet, and an all-around delight. There was one bartender on the night I was here, and while it was busy, I was still able to get my drink in a reasonable amount of time. I also feel as though they have reasonable prices, especially considering the quality and the market rates. King of Cups gets busy, and for good reason: they are an all-around phenomenal place, from the drinks to the vibe, and everything in between. If you're someone who likes a seat rather than fighting through a crowd, get a reservation! See you there!

Both are on draft which made me nervous from past experiences at other places. However, these were great and I LOVED their espresso martini. The bartender was kind and the vibes were off the charts. Check this place out next time you're in Lincoln Park!

A guitarist sits somewhere against a brick wall and plays music lightly but energetically. Service is friendly from start to finish and smiles are on everyone's faces. The menu is pretty easy to understand. You can get a three-course meal, or you can get each entree à la carte. You have two fondue candles in front of you, one for the cheese and dessert, and the other for the oil. We chose the three-course meal, and it was delightful. We started with the cheese appetizer. You get a basket of bread and fruit and we chose the seasonal cheese to dip. The oil for our meat was then left to heat, and we received a massive platter of veggies and meats for our main course. We chose the option for all selections of meat and seafood. After trying all the meats, I would opt for the lobster and shrimp. You can also substitute the oil for a broth. I would like to try the broth for next time. In one of the shakers, Gejas makes their own meat spice mix. It's recommended to put on the meats and even the desserts. It's a mix of tangy and savory and was a great compliment to the meal. We then chose the seasonal dessert, a white chocolate with vanilla cookies. Fruit, marshmallows, and churros to dip. We were so full by the time dessert came, but we enjoyed a few bites and took it home. The three-course meal, with five types of meat, came with about 10 pieces of meat. It doesn't look like a lot of food, but it truly is, with the apps, veggies, etc, your stomach will be full when you walk out of here. They also start the entire course with a mixed salad (so technically it's a four-course meal). It was very fairly priced, as well. Initially looking at the prices, you may think it's expensive, but it truly is a value with the amount of food they serve. This was rated as most romatic restaurant in Chicago. Its ambiance gives you the romantic feel, the guitarist adds to the atmosphere, and the staff is professional and friendly. This really was a great place and we enjoyed our time and meal.

    Chicago Restaurant week. I reviewed various dining options in search of a good place for dinner…read more Reddit gave me some ideas. I'd never been to Willow Room and liked that they had a four course dinner menu, with items I liked. I was able to make a reservation for a Saturday night at 8:15pm. PARKING Parking on Halsted on a Saturday night can be a nightmare, and it did take a minute to find street parking. North of the 1800 block is busier because there are several restaurants within a two block radius. Side streets are permit parking after 6pm. Meters on Halsted are $2.50/hr. ATMOSPHERE Willow Room was pretty packed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and my party of two was seated right away. The restaurant features a full bar, dim lighting and is nice and roomy. They have banquette seating around the perimeter, in addition to tables in the middle. SERVICE Our server, who was very nice and accommodating during our dining experience, came by and gave us our menu's. I had already decided on the RW menu and after review, my friend was interested in the Beef Wellington (not on RW menu). Our server informed us that normally the whole table had to order off of the RW menu if one person does, but said she would check with the kitchen since this was the last day of RW. Luckily, we were able to proceed with ordering from different menu's. FOOD I ordered a raspberry Cosmopolitan. I'm a Riesling/Moscato girlie, but I tasted the Riesling and didn't like it. RW dinner was priced at $60. I ordered: First Course: Caesar Salad (Typical salad, was good) Second Course: Mussels (Tasted fine, came with a baguette) Third Course: Short Rib (Could've been slightly more tender and better seasoned. I've definitely had better. Wouldn't order again.) Fourth Course: Orange Ricotta Donuts (Donuts were very good. Three were served, a few more would have been more filling.) My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and: Truffle Fries (Fries were very tasty. I would order again if I went back.) Beef Wellington (The breading was buttery and very good. The beef could've been more seasoned. I wouldn't order.) Key Lime Pie (Was not sweet and had no taste. When our server came back and saw it was uneaten, she offered to take it off the bill. It should be removed from the menu altogether.) The busboys and server were very attentive. Our water glasses were always filled. OVERALL The atmosphere was nice, our server was great. Of all the food we ordered, I would order the truffle fries and Cosmopolitan again. I did leave full and did take my leftover Short Rib to go. Main dishes needed more seasoning. I would dine here again and try a different menu (brunch/lunch), or Happy Hour if they offer it.
