Leah SinsheimerJanuary 11, 2014Came here on a business trip. Most attentive service I've ever gotten anywhere that wasn't a high end restaurant. Great beer list. Greek burger was delicious and so were the tots. Highly recommend.
Matt SackleySeptember 19, 2013A downtown bar that doesn't have the snobby attitude and has a great selection of beer and tasty food. Any bar that has Three Floyd's beers on tap is worth going to. Fun crowd too!
Corey CoppJuly 11, 2013Jon Taffer and his Bar Rescue team did a real nice job. Big selection of local/regional craft beers and the Southside Irish burger (big hamburger patty stuffed with corned beef) is phenomenal!
Chris JudsonJuly 26, 2013Great place for an evening snack and drink. Pasole is very good and the Pulled Pork has just enough heat (but not too much). Sit outside.
The food is great here, especially John's inspired soups of the day. They also have a tasty selection of neighborhoody burgers and a killer local beer selection.
Try the Maxwell Street Burger. Grilled burger with diced polish sausage & Gruyere inside put on a bun w grilled onions, peppers and a sport pepper, dijon aioli. It is a party in your mouth!
Jen KaneAugust 1, 2013If you don't have a burger here, you've lost. Slagel Farms and they grind their own beef blend from four different cuts...GREAT burger.
If you ask for the house special by the mens room you are given 2 things, a plate full of cheese fries & romance from an Austrian Lady. If she asks you about the Reverse Bungalow Joe it's trouble.
Taylor MichieAugust 8, 2014The mac and cheese balls are to die for. The jalapeño variant is delicious.
Global HighlanderAugust 9, 2014They have Three Floyds and Two Brothers on tap, which is nice. But, this is not a true sports bar. They were running karaoke during a Bears game. The food was simply mediocre, as well.- Featured on Bar Rescue on Spike TV. Turbo taps, a glass cleaner, and Wi-Fi. Password is their Fax #. Ask the bartender for it!
They have a limited $3 surprise beer special for liquidating summer menu inventory selections. Ask your bartender about it!
Joe MathieuJanuary 6, 2011Big fan of the atmosphere here. The food is good, and there's a much more laid-back crowd than some of the other spots on Hubbard.
Raisa CollazoNovember 2, 2012Try the Loop Burger! Bacon, onion, cheese, and tomato... Ask for an upgrade for fries!
Daniel CasillasSeptember 18, 2013Fried pickles were good...small order, but then im from TX where everything is bigger. Great service!
Christian YoungNovember 10, 2013Service was great. Problem with this burger joint is they offer your burger cooked to order (medium rare etc). But burger is too thin to make this happen. Tater tots are nothing unique. Sorry folks
Ben's "Cucumber Cool It" is the best glass of shots I've had in Chicago.
Carrie DrozdzOctober 20, 2012Friendly bartenders, Warm beer, we came bc of bar rescue, don't know if we will be back
Adam TornabeneAugust 2, 2011Get the hamburger, just a do yourself a favor and order a classic and make sure you upgrade to tots.
Leland BrewsterJune 17, 2015Wings were tasty but the fried pickles and buffalo chicken wrap disappointed. Solid value though.
Eric WheelerApril 8, 2013Great place to watch a game. Also, the eggplant flatbread is pretty baller.
Three Floyds Space Station Middle Finger. Yummy American Pale Ale.- Ask Raheel to make you his special "Armenian Handshake" martini. It's amazeballs.
Bunny SmithDecember 27, 2010The 25 cent oyster special once a month can't be missed. Just make sure to get there early.- Heather MSeptember 6, 2011The Greektown Burger was amazing! Service was so great, even for the "non-locals".
Yasmin Tekyi-MensahMarch 15, 2013Walked in & immediately thought it belonged on Bar Rescue. Turns out it actually was! Yikes. This place is so unorganized - the bartenders look lost and were eating and drinking behind the bar.
Pocket SunAugust 9, 2014Really don't understand why people like the tater tots here. They are really what you can get at any fast food places. This place is the worst dining experience I've had in a while.- Pocket SunAugust 9, 2014Nothing is good here. The Tuscan flatbread was recommended by the waiter but it was extremely heavy and salty. The karaoke is so loud that I have a headache. The burger bread was very bad too.
J HAugust 21, 2011Great bar, cheap booze but don't get the Midori Sour...way too sweet. Wanna visit here again!
Dave NathanMay 1, 2011This is no longer Blue Frog. It is now called The Local (Karaoke, Burgers, Beer).
Good food, Good People and Awesome karaoke! Come on, tater tots and singing? oh yeah!
Jim McLartyMarch 15, 2012Freddie Mercury behind the bar more interested in anything but bringing me a drink.
