This used to be the go-to local bar to blow off steam after a tough day at work. The clientele is…read morecomprised of a really cool mix of local south- siders (read: White Sox fans!) and UChicago staff/students. There is an epic wall mural that features different aspects of the city, including a huge Barack Obama head. As I said: epic. The bar is separated into two distinct parts, divided by a counter/tables in the center (you have to walk all the way around if you want to switch sides or move at the tables). On one side is the bar and a few TVs to watch the games, giving it a louder sports bar kind of vibe. On the other side there are a bunch of tables--almost like picnic tables. It feels very communal and laid-back. It's a place you can sip on drinks and easily spend time with a group of friends. The Cove is very group-friendly. My favorite part? My friend brings his dog there and it's no problem. Is this bar a dive? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I actually love it? Absolutely. Best bar on the area, hands down.

The line to get in was a bit long (however covered since it was raining which was nice). The venue is located upstairs so we waited along since a long set of stairs with everyone else. The security here wasn't rude or anything which was a good sign from off the bat, and once we got inside we had a lot of space to roam around towards the back when we wanted drinks or whatever which made it easy to not stress about needing to be at the very front of the dancing floor space. Drinks weren't outrageously expensive which was nice, and we genuinely had a good time here! We saw Chance the Rapper make an appearance in the crowd and he was standing right by us which was super cool! Overall - nice space, and I know they always have events here and apparently food(?). I didn't see food, but I see reviews mentioning food. Anyways, would recommend.

We were in the area exploring for Open House Chicago and wound up near Dawn. My wife and I had…read moreboth been wanting to try this place for a while. This was the perfect time to stop in. There was plenty of seating and we walked in without a reservation and were sat in 5-10 minutes. This might not be the case at all times, but on a Saturday afternoon around 3:00 PM we were in there like swimwear. Our server was amazing and provided some great recommendations. The fried green tomatoes were outta this world. I was suspicious about the feta but it works! The sauce that went with it was amazing too. My wife ordered the catfish which was season really well. Her sides were decent. I order the chicken and cornbread French toast. This was truly a gem with the peaches on top. The chicken needed a little hot sauce but mixed with the syrup it was a nice sweet spicy combo. Let's not even get started on the drinks. I didn't realize it was a sister restaurant to 14 Parish so you know those drinks are going to hit. The peach cognac joint was chef's kiss. The interior was bright and lively and just truly a vibe. We definitely will be back. Check it out if you're in the area.

Spent a morning in Hyde Park and when asking locals about a good breakfast spot, Dawn AM came up a…read morefew times...so we made a reservation, which I highly recommend, and the rest was history! Even with a reservation we waited around 20 minutes, they were busy, even for a Friday morning. So again, highly recommend a reservation. The space is good size, featuring indoor and outdoor seating and even a bar if you want to belly up to it. We ended up in one of the two-seater booths not far from the entrance. Their menu features all the classic breakfast and brunch dishes plus a few twists or elevations of those dishes. We had our eye on several things, but ended up going with a classic breakfast croissant/sandwich, a side of jalapeno grits and sausage. Before we placed all that, we ordered the biscuit basket to start with. Unfortunately the biscuits made it out well after our main dishes did. The biscuits were tasty, but the butter they were served with was ice cold and still very much frozen, due to that, we could not get the full flavor of the strawberry butter. The honey was good, it had a nice kick to it. But we do wish the butter had been a bit more thawed. The other dishes were solid, sandwich was as expected, sausage was okay and the grits were smokey, creamy and cheesy. Service was good, our server was friendly and helpful, but a bit overwhelmed. They were busy, and we were not in a rush, but you could tell she was in deep. But even so, she was still polite and engaging throughout our meal. Overall, we enjoyed Dawn AM Eatery. We wouldn't rush back upon our next visit to Hyde Park, but we wouldn't completely avoid the spot. Solid 3.5 rounded to 4 stars.

The ambiance is perfect if you are celebrating your anniversary or birthday. Now let's talk about the music, LIVE MUSIC!!! When I was there it sounded like jazz, besides the house of blues, where in Chicago can you go and hear live music? (I'll wait) The service was exceptional, very kind and personable staff, very attentive and easy to talk to. The food was utterly delicious, I've never had a steak so good in my entire life, & I've had steak at RPM & STK Overall an amazing experience, I will definitely be coming back and telling everyone about it. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

No coffee!! Aw man that was a disappointment but they say it is coming soon…read more It's a good vibe but highly over rated. The ambiance is cute and great photo ops. The Brunch is buffet style. Please check the menu to note the prices of water and mimosas. I don't think I got my moneys worth as I only had one glass of mimosa. The food is decent. The fried chicken wings were the best. I don't like scrambled eggs so I wish there was another option for eggs. The salmon grits were decent. They bring the lamb chops To your table. I've had way better lamp Chops. I found this place very over priced and the vibes were just ok. I didn't leave feeling Like I needed to return the next Time I'm in town.

Little did we know that we'd walk into a quirky and intimate bar with a Wu-Tang cover band that would turn into a way more fun night than we anticipated. Neither of us have been to the Chi before so we definitely wanted to get some of the local flavors in during our visit. We were staying right in the heart of Hyde Park and thought 53rd street would be a safe bet for finding something entertaining. We found The Promontory first online, and then as we walked up we could hear the music blasting. Cover charge was only $5 for each of us, and this was a nice surprise. We are from Pittsburgh and it's hard, if not impossible, to find bars with covers as low as $5 on a Friday night. The Wu-Tang cover show was almost over by the time we got to the bar, but it was nice to hear a few good songs and enjoy the atmosphere. Well drinks were $7, which again isn't a bad deal at all. We stuck around for a while and mingled with some of the locals, and they seemed to be very fond of The Promontory. There were tables on the side of the dance floor and from other reviews the food here looks like it's worth a try. Next time we're in town we will definitely come back, and maybe we'll be able to enjoy some of their food or even another show if we're lucky!
