Looks pretentious, tastes delicious. Definitely the best coffee in Chicago.
Amazing coffee, great service. A bit overpriced and pretentious though. We already love your coffee, you have nothing to prove...
Best coffee. Some staff might be hipster pretentious.
It's pristine (the carefully constructed cocktails are excellent), pretentious (you won’t find a sign on the door–just look for the long lines) and, ultimately, completely and unarguably gorgeous.

Worth the wait. Unmatched cocktails served in an intimate atmosphere. Go during the week to avoid the long weekend lines.
This is why you go to an independent bookstore - helpful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff that can give good recommendations without being pretentious. Nice layout lends itself to browsing.
The helpful staff here encourage browsing, and kids can play with toys set out for them in the excellent children's section. -- Green Guide Editor
A Michelle Obama favorite, this 26-year-old bookstore, part of the Seminary Co-op Bookstores, Inc., is a visually colorful nook with a vast collection children’s and cook books
Scotch egg was delicious, chips were okay. Sticky toffee pudding was also just okay. Vibe was a bit pretentious for calling themselves a "pub" but not a bad evening.
Delicious Royal Pies, incredible baked goods, a great beer list and excellent coffee. Hard to go wrong. Steak & Ale is undeniably satisfying. Chicken Balti is too. Take a fresh loaf of bread with you.
Any kind of pies will do.I have tried beef, chicken and not mushroom and kale, all were delish and of course crunchy scotch egg
This placed is packed with hard to find micro and craft beer goodies. Its like a specialty shop without all the pretentiousness.. Very knowledgable and always willing to special order. BUY BOOZE HERE!
Awesome selection. Awesome people. Fun environment. Awesome selection of odd beers
Junior takes care of his customers! Best curated beer selection around these parts.
The Pizza at Pizza East is excellent. San Daniele, Mozzarella, Arugula, and Parmigiano on a light crispy crust is a winner.
Atmosphere, food
Relax by the pool and check out the view.
Awesome space to learn how to dance in many styles. The drop-in class is friendly and non pretentious. You should go!
One of the best dance studios for ballroom dance! Take a group lesson, private lesson and wedding dance instruction.
Ryan is a great swing I instructor! Very funny and fun
Why not just brew your own coffee, you pretentious cabrons?
Cool partners. Free parking.....rare find in the city :)
Staff is excellent here!!
Unbelievably pretentious. Seriously overpriced, small and seems more like a Loop businessman's dating spot after work. Thankfully had one drink and moved on.
Simply shared, tasty food offerings at a value price and served via a friendly staff. You must try the Risotto; the flavor cooked perfectly. Applause-Applause for this restaurant.
You can enjoy budget-friendly pizzas here, as well as some house made pastas. Try the toothsome duck egg spaghetti with creamy pork sugo and grated caciocavallo cheese, a sinfully rich indulgence. Read more.
Unbelievably pretentious (it's actually laughable)
Sergio's Special is yum! Sliced ham, mango sauce & avocado on pretzel bread.
Sergio Special is the way to go! Delish!!!
Beat out every single restaurant in Chicago in 2012 for 'Restaurant of the Year.' It's the most down-to-earth, least pretentious, BYOB friendly, food place that you will ever eat. Read more.
Try the miraculous chestnut soup with white Alba mushrooms and truffle essence and the impeccable Angus beef with goosefoot greens, cumin, shallot jus, and ingenious variations on heirloom carrots.
The chef brings precision to every dish on the eight-course tasting menu, highlights of which include a luxurious chestnut-mushroom soup and a Cinderella pumpkin semifreddo coated in nougatine powder. Read more.
Really excellent and constantly changing menu. Seems like it might be pretentious, but really isn't.
The rainbow trout is FANTASTIC! Try it before the menu changes! The escargot could use a little more garlic, but was good. Also the almond stuffed bacon wrapped dates are great!
Bacon. Wrapped. Almond. Stuffed. Dates.
Great craft cocktails. A little hipster pretentious, but good.
Drink this: Bartender Paul McGee's cocktail list is rad. Try the Old Square: Old Weller bourbon and a touch of apple brandy, vermouth and benedictine. Read more.
Bid a temporary good-bye to bartender Paul McGee, whose last night here is Wednesday, February 1st. Read more.
Great cocktails, annoyingly pretentious bartenders.
Love the Old Fashion and Fernet & Ginger! Always a great experience!
Try their drink simply called 'cocktail'. You'll be glad you did.
This place USED TO BE great. Now it's become a pretentious, line at the door, for the new Wicker Parkers.. Old BITE ruled, new BITE blows.
Two words: Pork Hash...best combination of flavors I've had for brunch in Chicago
Try the mashbrown from our 100 Best list: The search for the perfect hash browns ends at Bite, where a patty of skin-on potato mash is always fried to a golden crisp.
