Editorial Review for Cleos on Armitage – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
Standard neighborhood tavern decor gets flair from red flood lighting and metallic walls--a fetching combo when paired with exposed brick. The front room is equipped with the bar, comfy stools and high-tops. A back room features black vinyl upholstered booths and plasmas. Casual, post-collegiate locals cram into both areas for juicy burgers, personal pizzas and cold, imported beer.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoBoth rooms---front and back---come outfitted with large, retractable garage doors that, when opened, turn the bar into part beer-garden.
ParkingArmitage and Damen are busy, but really your only bets as side streets all require local permits and there are no lots or garages within walking distance.
Where to SitThe back room's firmly bolstered benches are comfortable and perfect for watching the game. They're also good for hot afternoons as you get the benefit of AC while feeling like you are outside.

A nice easy going place to go for pizza and try the chips & salsa! It makes my mouth water now. It's a fun place to take the kids for dinner...lots of tvs and colorful lights all over. Great place!

If I'm prowling the streets of Bucktown, you'll see me at either Map Room or Cleos on Armitage. While these locations are neighbors, their differences are stark. **It's worth noting, Map Room has never claimed to be a restaurant - that's (obviously) the biggest difference between the two places ** The Map Room - good beer, a bunch of regulars, good beer (yes, I mentioned it again), chill vibe, hard pretzels. Cleos - good beer, chill vibe but more modern (eg, they have flat screens, cool decor, etc.), friendly staff, great specials, and delicious food. I've never had a bad special off their weekly specials menu. Nor, have I ever been unhappy with an appetizer or sandwich off their regular menu. Though, I must admit - many of my "taste tests" have come after a few cocktails. All in all - I highly recommend Cleos on Armitage so long as your looking for a hip enough place with nice decor, post college crowd (not senior citizens though), a nice beer selection, and pretty darn good food!
Pros: Cool atmosphere if you're looking for a place to eat, drink, and hang with post college graduate aged peeps. Pretty good weekly specials!
