We stopped by for their Wicked themed menu. However, we weren't too impressed by the venue or decor. Although music was playing, it wasn't Wicked theme. We thought it was a missed opportunity to capitalize on the theme they were promoting. After a few drinks, we left since the music was a bit loud. With that said, I would definitely come back for a night out.

Halloween town pop up

Ended up here while waiting for a reservation... drink prices were a little high. Interesting crowd too. Definitely an instagrammable type spot with all the Halloween decor. Don't see myself coming back, unless in a similar situation of waiting for reservation nearby, but glad I experienced it once!

If Jack Skellington and Sally ever opened a bar together, it would 100% be Tree House Chicago. From the cobwebs to the glowing skeletons hanging from the ceiling, this place nailed the spooky-chic vibe -- equal parts eerie and electric. Themed cocktails? Oh, they don't play. My drink looked like it was straight out of a Tim Burton dream -- one came in a glass box with fairy lights and a spider (because why not?), and another was bright green with a gummy worm hanging off the rim. Creepy? Yes. Delicious? Also yes. The menu keeps the fun rolling with dishes like "Oogie Boogie Beef Rolls" and "Frog's Breath Dip." Honestly, even the food names had me grinning before the first bite. Bonus points for the bartenders who were fully in character and totally leaned into the Halloween magic. Every corner is Insta-worthy -- from the giant Jack and Sally setup to Oogie Boogie himself lurking in the corner. It's the kind of place where you can sip your drink, hum "This Is Halloween," and pretend you're part of the movie. So if you're in Chicago this spooky season, head to Tree House and step into Halloween Town. Trust me, it's a frightfully good time.

This place is very cute especially for this holiday or seasonal pop ups. I went to their Valentine one this year and Halloween Town one as well. It wasn't really crowded at around 9pm on a Friday but after a couple of hours it did. You can reserve a table online or head over to the bar. We walked in and got seated at a table. There is a lot of cute background you can take pictures with and very cute. We got their mocktails and it was pretty good and refreshing. Our waitress was so nice, she kept checking up on us.

Women's restroom. Downstairs, lots of stalls.

My husband and I went here to watch the Bears versus Packers playoff game, and it exceeded my expectations. This wouldn't have been our first choice, but I'm glad we ended up there. There was room for us to sit at the bar shortly before the game started, the drinks were reasonably priced, as was the food. We got buckets of beer and a pizza and cheese curds. All good. The bartender who served us was very friendly and helpful as well. They still had Christmas decorations up, which was fun to see.

Lots of fun holiday decor and themed festive drinks! Food is above average bar food fare. Drinks are novelty and on the sweeter side. I enjoyed one of the mocktails. We were surprised by the waffle fry seasoning which had a BBQ taste. They do autogratuity for large groups and add a 3% staff fee too. Servers were attentive with water, but dishes piled up on our table. Ambiance was loud making it difficult to chat. Great if you are looking for an Instagram friendly holiday themed night!

The tree house is a fun place. The staff is friendly, the decor fits the theme perfectly and the food is decent bar/finger foods. The drinks are strong but they are tasty. Some nights have entertainment. Unfortunately the night I went did not. I gave three stars because for a Saturday night, it would of been nice to get a themed experience and the menu could have a bit more options on it. It is a small menu. I did order the fish and chips which has a nice crisp on it.

Tree House is always super busy and hard to order a drink and get to the bars, but they do a really good job with holiday decor. They knocked it out of the park with Halloween decorations, and their Christmas and New Years decor is also great too, especially considering what a large space they have to fill.

We only drank so I can't speak to the food but drinks were really good. This place was decorated so cute for Halloween . We had great service from Vinny at the bar . Such a great environment.

Really great, friendly environment with a fun vibe. The staff was welcoming and the drinks were definitely the highlight -- they more than made up for the food, which was okay but not amazing. The only downside was the automatic 18% gratuity. Not that the service wasn't good, but it was a bit of a downer considering it was a non-busy day and they were only serving two of us. Overall, still a solid spot for drinks and atmosphere.

Pop-u-lar wicked crust

Went for their Emerald City pop-up, which was Wicked themed. They played regular pop and hip hop rather than the Wicked sound track. They were definitely busy! Vibes were immaculate, you can tell they put so much effort with the giant clear balloons, and the space was decked out into green and pink. They have trendy photo ops at the back! The pot o gold chicken nuggets came crispy and quite tender chunks with lots of waffle fries underneath. I wish there were more nuggets and less fries, but it's fine. Pop-u-lar pizza was a classic pepperoni pizza with no frills. $20 "we can't all come and go by bubbles" nonalcoholic drink, was a yummy pink lemonade base with a rock sugar candy wand. The emerald city drink was priced at $65 and easily shareable by 4-5 people, pretty yum!

I love how TreeHouse went all out with their decor for Spooky Season this year. If you're a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas you're going to love this pop up! They even have food and drinks that are so cute to go along with their theme! The food was phenomenal, my drink was a little weak but it was still a vibe! I love that it's also kid friendly before 8pm. I know my teen enjoyed it! Definitely worth checking out to get into the Spooky Season spirit!

Went to Chicago for a mini girls trip and stumbled upon this place. We were intrigued by the Alice and wonderland theme and it did not disappoint!! You can tell the amount of effort and hard work that went into this pop up. It was perfectly executed. We ended up going with the patron tower margaritas, we ordered the strawberry, passionfruit, blueberry, and mango. They were delicious!! What truly sold us and caused for the five starts was our waitress Gabby!! She was so sweet and helpful. Truly the best, this was our first night of our trip and we could not stop thinking about her and talking about her for the rest of it! Two things to note: upstairs is a nightclub called the tunnel we also had a blast up there, again totally unplanned. We walked in thinking we would walk right out after a drink or two at the bar and didn't end up leaving until hours later. Although the menu says that 20% is automatically taken from your bill for tip, this is untrue. They no longer do that so your total DOES NOT include a tip. Overall we had a blast, again shoutout to Gabby for being so amazing! Wish I was a local so I could come more often and check out the next pop up they have planned :))

I ordered the "Dope Drip Original" Tamafongo, and a Chicken Empanada. The service was kind, and the food came out after about 10 minutes, which was a little longer than I would hope for, but still within acceptable limits. The Empanada was fresh from the fryer, and even 10 minutes after being handed it, it was still blindingly hot on the inside. This thing was well sized, and did not at all skimp on the protein! The thing was completely filled with a flavorful chicken, with just the right amount of spinach to add a flavor without becoming even a cousin of rabbit food (I'm a carnivore, if you didn't know!). Also, I don't know how it is prepared or what is added, but it is, true to form, tender and even a bit creamy! My only complaint is that the sauce requested carried a small extra charge, and was only a half-filled small ramekin. Speaking of tender, let me tell you about the Tamafongo! It was superbly well balanced! It also did not skimp on very tender beef, but at the same time has a corresponding amount of plantain for starch, sauce for added savory flavor, and the use of broth only served to help the ingredients get to know each other, and added moisture.Was this dish as mind blowing as something I'd had at The Purple Pig? No. It was, however, simple, homestyle cooking! When it comes to value, considering the portion sizes, $7 for the Tamafongo and $4 for the Empanada feels extremely reasonable. Besides, where can one find a good, filling meal that isn't all carbs and oil for $11? Final verdict: I think the most dope thing about Dope Drip is that they deliver on something that is increasingly hard to find. That being homestyle meals that are relatively guilt-free, at reasonable prices to boot!

My order did not take long. I was told 10 minutes and I had it within 6 minutes. Everything was hot and well seasoned. I would come back again but would like try other items besides the jibaritos and rice bowls. Price wise it is a bit pricey coming out to ~$24 with a soda - but this feels like the going rate for non-fast food restaurants in the city.

For parking you definitely should use Spothero or ParkWhiz, as it's in a very busy/lively part of River North. We loved meeting the owner who was chatting with and checking on guests in the dining room. The menu was really creative and sounded amazing, totally up my alley, so was super excited to try Ila's out for the first time. Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, but the food itself was a miss for me, and the prices felt steep for the portions. We ordered the empanada duo, grilled scallops, birria lamb pierogis, and sweet corn agnolotti, then the Japanese cheesecake and drip coffee. The positives were that everything tasted fresh, and the flavors of the dishes were good ~ especially the empanadas, scallops, and agnolotti. The main issue was the texture of some of the foods. Other than the empanada (which had a great texture and flavor), the agnolotti and pierogi dough were not right ~ thick, rubbery, and dry, which was exacerbated by not having enough consommé for the pierogis. And the coffee - it honestly tasted like Folgers (though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) - which took me aback as it was a $7 drip coffee. I'm not discounting Ila's and I truly wish them success. But I think there's some work to be done in terms of execution.
