LUXBAR

We had a brunch here and the food was delicious! The customer service was great—our waiter was friendly and attentive. However, the wait for the food was quite long. One person in our group ordered the onion soup and finished it well before the rest of our meals arrived. The virgin mojito was just okay. Overall, a good experience thanks to the tasty food and great service, but the long wait time was a downside.

Came here for brunch but they still serve their dinner menu all day, we sat upstairs which has a great view over the area. They have an awesome cocktail selection and state they can make any drink you want not on the menu. Great espresso Martinis and dirty ones with blue cheese olives. Def get the tomato bisque and French onion to start, we also got the Cobb and they split it for us. For dessert you have to get the cookie skillet, it was unreal. Service was super attentive even though the place was packed.

I love LuxBar! It’s one of my favorite places in the city for good food and drinks! I will say some items on the menu are better than others… so it is important what you get! Highly recommend: Saved by the Bell (may be my favorite cocktail in the city… I hope it becomes permanent!). Apple BBQ Fried Chicken (INCREDIBLE albeit messy!). Mac and cheese. Avoid: “baby” back Ribs (while they look great… there is no meat on them! NONE! And what meat there is sticks to the bone. Also these are regular ribs not small tender baby back ones). Sliders (too basic for the price).

Luxbar absolutely nailed it! I stopped in for a casual bite and ended up having one of the best slider experiences ever. The mini burgers were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—with soft buns and just the right amount of toppings. Simple, classic, and done so well. The vibe at Luxbar is relaxed but polished, and the service was friendly and fast. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal, this place hits the mark.

LUXBAR is one of my top favorite restaurants in Chicago. I’ve been coming here regularly since I moved to Chicago years ago, and LUXBAR and has truly helped me make Chicago feel like home. The staff has been there for years - which is just a true testament of how great the restaurant is in general. Ryan is amazing and is THE example of what a restaurant GM should be. The bartenders are also amazing at what they do. They are seasoned, knowledgeable and talented. Don’t take it from me though, even my best friends think of it as home–they hosted their engagement party there. FOOD ALLERGY ALLY! I have a VERY limited diet due to many food allergies. LUXBAR has been generous and accommodating since the first time I stepped foot in the bar. They’re extremely conscientious about avoiding cross-contamination. And, in one instance, Ryan, the general manager, even ran out to my table when my plate came out to replace the dish because of an ingredient he wasn’t sure about for me. Everything on the menu (per my friend’s testimonials) is amazing. My go-tos are the Cobb salad, filet minion, hummus plate and the club. It doesn’t stop there though: my friends love the truffle fries, cookie skillet, and tuna tacos.

High end American food, but mostly a bar for sure. The food menu was minimal which helps for indecisive people like me, but seems like their drink menu was much bigger. I was there to eat with friends so my experience was just alright. I had the Classic Burger with cheese, cooked medium. They cooked it just as I asked, and it was pretty good. My two complaints would be that the burger was too tall for me to fit in my mouth, making my experience really messy. But that could be just me. And I felt that the burger patty itself was not very seasoned. Without physically adding ketchup to the burger, it tasted pretty bland and just meaty. Restaurant itself was very nice looking place, I probably would not come to eat here again unless I was coming back to try some of their drinks with my friends.

Had dinner at Luxbar and had a great time! The atmosphere was amazing, really great vibes and lively restaurant to be in. The food was delicious: we had the tuna tacos, sweet chili fried calamari, and the kale and avocado salad (my personal favorite were the tacos). What blew us away was the dessert: the snickers pie was above and beyond expectations! It really was top-notch. Highly recommend Luxbar in Chicago!
