User Reviews for Coq d'Or

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Coq d'Or most certainly has the best martini in town. You might think the price is a little steep but it's actually 1.5 martinis. The bartender is quite knowledgeable on vodkas and just makes a killer Martini. And the bites are good too. Atmosphere is a little stodgy and grandpa-ey, but it's worth it for the drink.

Pros: awesome martini

Cons: stodgy, not hip

I sampled a Red Apple Martini and it was excellent. My bartender was Hana and she was very pleasant and funny. I enjoyed my visit to Coq d'Or and I can understand why its been in business for 70 years! Best Wishes for many more years!

Pros: Prompt Service, Friendly staff, Big Martini

Bombay Sapphire Martini is the greatest I have had. My wife tried a Drake Kiss and loved it. I found this bar an interesting surprize and was able to feel at ease and welcome with the personal service we received. This bar deserves the best martini and actually the best bartender too!

Pros: Great Bartender, Good Parking, Inexpensive

Best Hamburger ever, after a night at the Lyric Opera its the best cozy, friendly, clean, inexpensive bar in town with the live music creating a wonderful atmosphere. Its my home away from home. The servers and bartenders are so welcoming. I think the Coq d'Or is the best hidden secret in Chicago.

Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly, Very Clean

There is always a warm friendly welcome at the Coq d'Or. It's the home of the Executive 4oz martini, and there is a great happy hour from 5pm-7pm daily. Live entertainment, good drinks and good company make this a great place to be. The menu is not expensive and the service is top notch!

Pros: GREAT SERVICE, RELAXED ATMOSPHERE, ONE PERSON FRIENDLY

The Coq d'Or is a wonderful restaurant with food served daily from 11am until 12 midnight. The menu caters to all tastes. 4oz martinis are traditional, Guinness & Bass on tap, Jesse Trepinski was recently voted one of teh top servers in Chicago and Christine Morris has been serving with a smile with the last 18 years. The Coq d'Or offers Live music nightly and serves the best burger in the city! For a fun time with good food music and drink come in to the Coq d'Or

Pros: Inexpensive, $10 3 hour Valet, Late Night Dining

Nothing better to escape afterwork, relax and chat. Irish lady with her staff will ensure that we feel more then welcome. They are so nice and friendly. Personaly I love that international flavor of their staffing.
