The prices for both food & drink are very reasonable. We paid a $10 cover which was fine for a 14 piece Steely Dan cover band. They brought me back to my old school. The only knock on the place was they only had 2 waitresses & they tried their best to take care of everyone but they really needed a third. The food is typical bar food but it was very tasty. If you're looking for good live music you'll enjoy Frankie's. SECOND REVIEW NOT SO GOOD SERVICE VERY VERY SLOW DONT COME HERE TO EAT. We've waited almost an hour for food. They need more help!

Great Naperville burger spot! Especially in warm weather when the rooftop is open and enjoyable…read morewith a river view. 5 stars for atmosphere and great vibes!! We've always had great service and there's plenty of seating though it does get busy at dinner time. The burgers here are good! Tasty, and a variety of interesting options, not the most memorably delicious burger ever but it's a really good solid burger option at a nice spot downtown. My favorite though is the Big Dipper burger which comes with an au jus- this is super tasty! My FAVE item is the burger cigar appetizer. This is a stand out for me! Now warning.. it is greasy. But in the best way!! The sauce is savory and a little sweet with a crispy wonton outside and gooey pimento cheese and burger filling-- definitely give it a try! For kiddos- there's high chairs and decent sized kids portions! Our little guy goes for the basic grilled cheese but there's also burger and chicken options.

Altavida is a new addition to the downtown Naperville area as they have only been open for 3 weeks…read more It has taken over The Craftsman building which offers three floors. Altavida's concepts for the three levels are Publico, Rumba, and Altura. Publico (1st Flr)- A South American fusion of food and drinks that will be rotating. The cocktails will be more tequila and mezcal based and food will be subtly rotated based on trends happening in South America. The food menu currently offers tapas, empanadas, ceviche, guacamoles, larger format meat/seafood entrees, and more. They will have a front of our bar as well as a back bar that will specialize in more coffees/coffee cocktails. Rumba (2nd Flr)- The entertainment floor! There is a separate bar on this floor that will specialize in more Rum based cocktails. Additionally, they will have a wine bar area with wines in tap. Lastly, they will have an open area for live music as well as dancing. Their hope is to have a mix of jazz, club music, salsa dancing options available. Altura (3rd Flr)- This floor is still under construction but will have a rooftop patio. The hope is that this space will be an event space both for public and private events. Back to my experience! My partner and I stopped in for a cocktail and to see what Altavida was about. Our first bartender was very nice but was still getting used to the drink recipes and was leaning on their cheat sheets. While we waited, another bartender kindly told us all about the restaurant and its focus on hospitality. Unfortunately, each bartender had a slightly different explanation of the restaurant's goal concepts which was confusing. We ended up ordering the El Toro and Vaquero (both mezcal drinks). Both were VERY spirit forward to the point that it may have needed better balance. Both drinks had a nice presentation with garnishes, color, and a skull feature at the bottom of the glass. Lastly, we saw many people walk up and look confused as there was no formal host stand. They didn't know if they should seat themselves or wait for someone. Overall, there still seems to be some kinks needing to be worked out as well as some conceptual editing. I feel they are trying to achieve too much and it ends up being confusing for staff and guests. I hope with time, Altavida is extremely successful in the Naperville area and I hope to circle back after some time passes.

I arrived at 6:30 and there were plenty of people already in the restaurant, but I was seated promptly. My server Richard came over to greet me right away. He went over the menu options and gave great recommendations. We put our order in pretty quickly because we've been to tapas restaurants before. I loved the modern decor and lively music being played. The place is truly colorful and has a very energetic vibe. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely kind and happy to help. Edwin, the general manager was so friendly and accommodating by making sure that everything was to our liking. He is a gem. My husband and I ordered a few different tapas to share. We started with the empanadas and they were truly 10/10, highly recommend! We had the beef and chicken with the chimichurri sauce. We also tried the papas bravas and those were delicious as well. They are spicy and have a nice kick. The portion is pretty big and shareable. Last, we had chicken en mole. Omg, so good! They knocked it out of the park with this one. The presentation is very pleasing and the flavor is 10/10! I'm a hot sauce girly and even carry it in my bag just in case. The sauce they had in the dish was so good that I didn't even think about adding hot sauce! The rice and chicken along with the sauce is chef's kiss. I also tried the Brussels sprouts but they were my least favorite of everything. They should go back to the drawing board on that one. The drinks we had were solid. My husband had an espresso martini and dragonfruit margarita, while I had a mango margarita. All were good. Needless to say, I had an amazing evening at Altavida! The dancing on the second floor was also very fun and entertaining. I will definitely be a regular here!

Seating is comfortable and there's a reasonable amount of leg room between rows. The tall ceilings and placement of the speakers do create an unusual mix at times (especially if it's mixed in with a live orchestra and you are in the front rows). Parking can be difficult at times since this is in downtown Naperville. Overall, a nice venue for Naperville to watch a concert or musical.

They have pool tables, darts, music and some great sports on TV. There's no food but they were kind enough to let us bring in our own food. It gets bust throughout the night. Bartenders do a great job checking IDs too. Parking can be a bit of a hit or miss finding a spot this place is mostly clean too, it definitely feels like a great 90s nostalgia time machine being here. Don't trust visiting the website, it hasn't been updated in over 5 years. I would suggest having more hard Cider options too unless you're looking for only angry orchard.
