Torie G. • June 17, 2013On a nice day, the vibe and patio here simply can't be beat. You ll feel like you have been transported to Malibu. The negroni slushies are dank but they also make a mean michelada

Lauren M. • August 12, 2014Great outdoor patio. Monthly beer specials. Huge beer list

Mary C. • August 10, 2014Great rooftop beer garden.

C R. • April 9, 2016Some of the best wood fired pizza and apps in Lincoln Park. Awesome atmosphere and lively outdoor spaces including the AirStream party camper in the back. Go for the Smoke Show or Knife & Forker!

David H. • August 6, 2016Good tacos, outdoor seating area is great in the summer!

Cam G. • November 20, 2015Best rooftop! Line to get up moves fast!

Erin W. • July 16, 2011Beer list is good. Food is cheap and tasty. Love the patio. Sit in the front of it if you don't like smoke. Sit in the back if you're a smoker. Addicted to this little gem of a bar. You will be too.

Carol • August 29, 2015Really nice drinks, cash only. Great patio

Samir N. • July 18, 2017The appetizers, oxtail, and patio are all awesome. Get after it with the BYOB!

Jess L. • August 5, 2017The coffee was really good and they have a ton of outdoor seating and great wifi!

Caroline M. • March 18, 2019One of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Chicago. Beautiful space with a great outdoor area in the summer. Big fan of the crispy short rib, hummus, and the stracciatella...but everything is delicious.

Aaron L. • August 25, 2014Lovely (covered) patio, delicious food and cocktails, and the Sunday family dinners are a great deal (and a ton of food!).

Sarah W. • December 31, 2015I like the cheeseburger & love the pickles. I prefer the style here over Au Cheval but I never get the bacon or egg. To each their own. Similar to Shake Shack. Great outdoor seating in good weather.

Oriana • October 29, 2015The rooftop view is one of the best in Chicago.

Siena C. • August 4, 2013Great vegetarian options, nice back patio, large beer selection

maria jose b. • September 20, 2017Perfect views of Marina City,Wrigley Building , Chicago River, Wacker. The view of Rooftop is amazing!

C R. • July 6, 2017The O-G Dark Matter lounge w/ incredible coffee, brewing gear, and patio. Try a cortado or their infamous Chocolate City iced coffee. Be sure to get a Do-Rite donut or croissant and hang for awhile.

Mirko P. • September 20, 2015Very good neighborhood restaurant. Nothing extraordinary, but is always nice and safe place to go. I love outdoor seating and that's special, you are outside, but not on the street.

Jai M. • February 20, 2014Hold on to your nickers girls!!! Sidetrack is a great place to gather with friends on the patio OR it's a great place to go alone and people watch spontaneous.

Margaret P. • September 27, 2013Go with a group to try everything - sides, wings, and that amazing chocolate toffee cookie!! Awesome backyard patio, too!!

Mark B. • June 4, 2017Wonderful and large outdoor patio.

Gene Y. • August 10, 2013If the weather is great, the terrace is a must for cocktails or authentic Chinese dim sum at Shanghai Terrace

Marie L. • May 31, 2023Cozy and comfortable rooms. Amazing rooftop with pool and delicious eatery. Extremely loud lobby area not ideal for business travelers or visitors looking for peaceful r&r. Service is hot or miss.

Kevin L. • August 7, 2014Enjoy some great coffee and a snack in the serene and beautiful outdoor area that is next door to Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House!
