Samantha Green: Volcanic wings are a must do! Chocolate Climax is the best dessert. Really missing their chicken marsala. Located near the AMC Theater on Illinois.
Cole Kennedy: Saying that a sports bar has great nachos has to be the most abused superlative in restaurant history, but in this case, it's true. Get the chili nachos and be happy.
Tim Poole: Awesome food especially the Irish nachos. "Win or lose we came for the booze"
Eric "Slo" Williams: Try the Koenigsberger Burger and for dessert...you gotta have the Chocolate Chip Cookie. Friday's get busy quick so reserving a booth is the way to go.
Jill Downing: Beware: Sundays are "industry day" and the douche-canoe arrives promptly at 4p. Was there trying to watch basketball, but left after the waitress brought out the first 2 flaming bottles of Grey Goose.
Lindsay Ruzicka: Steak sandwich is delicious!

Andres Ramirez Gaston Seminario: The Kobe burger was very good and the fries with a bit of truffle flavour were just amazing
Joe H: Bull & Bear was supposed to provide complimentary waffles this morning between 7-9 at my apartment building. They failed to show up & I went to work hungry like a poor. I want answers!
Joey Vitale: Great food, good alcohol, and a great crowd on Thursdays hosted by Outfit Events
Redeye Chicago: The amazing open floor plan show's how spacious and welcoming this place can be. Enjoy some of the great bites and cocktails. Read more.
Max Moss: The lobster nachos are the greatest thing to have ever blessed mankind. If you come here and you don't get them, you're doing life wrong. The turkey burger was also pretty good.
Ben Joeman: Eh. It’s good, about 8-12% more expensive than it should be. But it’s fine

UrbanLux: A step above your standard sports bar! Great for extended game watching. Rent out the home theatre like private party room. Wings half off on Wednesday and great beer selection.
Time Out Chicago: Save the yelling and arm-waving for the Wrigleyville sports bars; this newcomer is for the sophisticated sports fan. The stools are cushioned, the music is mixed, and the specialty drinks are potent. Read more.
Bill McNicholas: Try the "Not Your Father's Root Beer"

Old Town Social: Don't leave without trying some beer that you have never tried before!
Time Out Chicago: Chef Jared Van Camp works to make this burger’s meatiness shine, topping it with equally savory toppings: housemade bacon, a fried egg, aioli and Gruyère. http://tmoutchi.us/YmTIHi Read more.
