Perfect place for big groups!

by Jenna130

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! The key is to always make reservations through Open Table. The atmosphere is fun & loud and perfect for big groups, such as birthday parties or girls night out. The blue cheese steak and spicy potatoes are a must!

  • Pros: outdoor seating, great sangria, yummy specials
  • Cons: always make reservations!

PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH

by MeLB4

SERIOUSLY the best tapas! Get the dates wrapped with bacon and the cheesey potatoes and the meatballs and the goat cheese with tomato sauce. oh my gosh. its soooooo damn good.
