I have gone to this place so many times that they should name a drink after me. If you are looking for a good place to cut loose for a little while with your friends, and potentially play some pool, then this is your new spot. They even have a little outdoor area to sit down in the summer time. Everyone in this place is ultra friendly, and ready to help if you need anything.

I've lived above this joint for two years. I order there on a regular basis, and would not complain about the food. I have never had a problem with a dish there in the two years me and my husband have been going there. I used to go there late night for food before going home, or stopping in for one last drink before heading home. The crowd is always a weird show-mostly I think because of the location. I never bat an eye with anything I see there, because it seems that I've seen just about everything. I must say, that I don't go there friday or saturday nights to drink, but it does get quite crowded. Needless to say, I do love this place-and their food for a pub is very good.
Pros: good food, fun atmosphere, weird scene
Cons: sometimes overcrowded and loud

I always try to hit this place up after a Cubs game (whether or not I actually attend that game). That is because most people will go here after the game and it becomes a real fun place since all the fans crowd here for some fun and drinks. The crowd here is really cool and I always enjoy my time here. It is a huge bar, but it gets jam packed so you can imagine just how many people there are here!

I either eat in or do carry-out from Silver Clour 2-3 times a month, and really do love it. I'm not a huge fan of eating out, but the laid-back atmosphere at silvercloud usually gets me over any reservation I might have to go out for a quick meal or for a few drinks.
The patio is great in the summer, but the inside is really wonderful all year long - the booths are really comfortable, and look pretty nice as well. The bar is very cool, the bartenders are almost always friendly, and the staff is usually excellent.
I recommend eating: 1) their chicken pasta dish 2) quesadillas 3) cheeseburger & tatter tots 4) macaroni and cheese. Everything on the menu is pretty much awesome.
for drinks: 1) Poolside (my favorite) 2) bloody mary (which reminds me, their breakfast is really good too) 3) the white belgian ale (they have a great selection of beer on tap.
Hope that helps, enjoy!

An ideal place to meet friends for a good drink, live music and fresh artwork. The crowds can pack this place quickly on weekends; weekdays are better and there is usually a beer special. The people working here are generally nice.
The volume is usually turned up too high to have great conversation. A punky, bikerish type of place, with plenty of brews to choose from.
And unfortunately, they have taken down the wooden, English pub-style sign with a portrait of a woman on each side.

I really enjoyed Cafe 28. We went in the middle of the week so it was not busy at all. We sat outside, which was perfect for a summer night. The food was so good!!! Everything we ordered was good. The menu is small, but I couldn't decide what to get because everything looked so good. We shared a few different meals and they were delicious. The halibut was excellent. The spinach quesadillas were different, but possibly the best I have ever had. Our service was really good. I did not like one of the drinks I ordered and the server brought out another option without question. He was very attentive and we had such a good time. I would definitely recommend!!!
Pros: Everything we ordered was tasty!!!
Cons: Cocktails did not have enough alcohol. They were good, but too watered down.

Wow, this is the best Irish bar in town in my opinion. I've been to Dublin and feel it could be placed there and the Irish would not know the difference! The staff is amazing, especially Sarah and Gail. They are polite and offer great service but are so much fun. The food, while I was skeptical at first, turned out to be pretty damn good for a bar. Highly recommend this for either a fun night out or a lunch out with your friends.
Pros: Feels like you are in Ireland
Cons: Nothing I can think of!

The Tavern is the social hang out on the Gold Coast. Here's the ironic part - the food is actually good. While the purist may not consider The Tavern's steaks as good as Gibson's - the hopping bar scene plus the delectable food makes up for it.
French Fried Lobster to start things off is a must have appetizer. Depending on the season - the oysters on the half shell are wonderfully fresh and a gastronomical treat.
A fantastic selection of wines and beers - and the classic bone in rib eye is very well aged and seasoned. Heaven knows they drowned this is a vat of pure butter for weeks to give it the flavor but it is simply done right.
Dessert selections - their chocolate cake is very decadent - if the meal hasn't blown your caloric budget the cake will definitely do it. Surprising the key lime pie, while not as good as I have had in Florida, is a tart treat as well.
And of course half the fun of dining at the Tavern is who you see there - politicians, athletes, movie stars - there always is someone famous dining at the Tavern.
Pros: Location, Location, Location
Cons: It's Not Free :)

I have one thing say: 40s and martinis..... together in one place??? Amazing.
Went there on Thursday for "Beauty Bar" with my friends, drank martinis while getting my manicure. Although my nails are slightly chipping, I would do it again any week. Great for a low key girls' night which turned into a dance party around 11:00.
Pros: Service, good looking staff
Cons: Crowded late night

We like the pizza and the food here but our favorite part really is that the restaurant has a weekly kids night every Tuesday with a fantastic balloon guy named Smarty Pants. He is a totally riot and makes some amazing balloons for all the table. I have had to literally beg one of my sons to let his balloon tiger go after about three weeks of it sitting in his room. Smarty Panks you rock!!!
