Redeye Chicago: "Queen Mary has recently opened their outdoor patio seating. The bar’s classy cocktails are fit for spring with ingredients like passion fruit-ginger syrup, peach bitters and jalapeño tincture."
Jackie Mann: "The free events here in the summer are awesome, although trying to enjoy the park otherwise can be hard during tourist season. The beat time is fall or spring early in the morning- no one's there!"
Mike: "A classic Chicago establishment and a great place to catch a show. Reasonably priced ($7-$8) beers to boot, given the venue. Chick-fil-A is next door in case you need a pre-show snack."
Chicagoist: "Try the sauerkraut rye bread, their chocolate cake doughnuts, buttermilk poundcake and "grandpa rye" bread, a three-pound loaf swimming in caraway and perfectly suited for Dagwood sandwiches."
Dana Jensen: "Good tap list in the "tasting room" and a truly outrageous selection of wine and beer. Spirits are weirdly organized, but employees are very helpful if you can't find anything"
Chicagoist: "The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s home is one of the most acoustically perfect venues in town and sounds pitch-perfect across a range of musical styles."
Dmitry Witman: "Outstandin orchestra and director, off-course. Great jazz program as well, infrequent jazz concerts though. Yet if you are lucky with the time of your visit - they are really good."
Jonathan Ferrera: "This is an unexpected oasis so close to the highway and public transit. It is worth a visit for a stroll, especially because it's free and there's free parking in their lot."
Lina Gonzo: "This is a great Chicago Winter destination. You can take a beautiful stroll through the gardens and give your lungs a much needed spa treatment of warm fragrant moist air."
T Callahan: "Sound is solid and congestion is not an issue. Great new Chicago venue with excellent dinner and drink options w/ Dusek's and Punch House right there as well."
Shycu: "Wish it was closer to home. Beautiful venue with great sound. Try balcony seating if you want comfy seats and a private bar with high top tables."
