What People Are Saying About Lux Bar

The Scene – Gleaming pale wood and low overhead lighting exude style at this Gold Coast restaurant and bar, while a black and white checked floor adds a retro feel. White-shirted bartenders pour out cocktails to the late-30s business crowd perched on black leather and wood barstools, while diners relax at round tables topped with green and white linens. When not closed off for private parties, the upstairs balcony is a favorite spot. – – The Draw – Traditional comfort food and new favorites mix at both the bar and in the dining area. Happy hour visitors order…

Can't wait for THE NEW YEARS BALL at LUXBAR ! ! !

by theohuxtable

I have some friends in Chicago who have promoted a few lavish parties over the years, and they recently decided to throw a New Years Party at Luxbar. I sure it will be a phenomenal, but having never been to the place, I decided to take my girlfriend there over the weekend and check it out before getting a ticket (and hoping to avoid another disastrous NYE party like my Underground experience last year). Anyway, Luxbar was incredible! Very impressed with the food and service, but even more impressed with the type of crowd it pulled...I swear, every person there was a "10". Bought my tickets first thing this morning, and can't wait to see this place on New Years. From what I gather, black tie, flowing champagne, and a solid crowd of Chicago's finest. Tickets are through TheNewYearsParty2009 dot com.

  • Pros: Great crowd!
  • Cons: Nothing bad to say about this place.

Fun Brunch with a great View

by eetcheso

We found this little Gem last spring. We were in town for the weekend and it was one of those early spring days when you still need a jacket and light gloves, perfect for long strolls with the one you love. We had been shopping for a little while and were looking for a place for lunch but found this place had a Sunday brunch upstairs. We loved the View of Rush Street and the windows allowed in the light! It was a beautiful morning we were a little early for the rush so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The food was good, not spectacular but it was reasonably priced, $15 and that included Juice and coffee. There was an amazing sampling of pastries too! We recently re-visted and the windows were open so we got to sit out on the veranda for brunch. So fun, so romantic and good all year round, this will be our regular spot for many years to come!

  • Pros: Fun Atmosphere and good Food
  • Cons: Beef-cakes posing as servers
