Mary SchufJuly 20, 2013Perfect Saturday brunch! The location, food, and cocktails were amazing. The hostess was a bit snooty, but the servers were great. Definitely recommend for a weekend brunch!
Derek JustmannJune 28, 2014If you are inclined, go for the 10 oz double patty cheeseburger with organic beef. Big, tasty, and char-broiled. So big you may want to skip the appetizers and order a side salad.
Jessica ToliuszisJuly 28, 2014The bacon pancake is incredible, humongous, and delicious! Who know they made pans & plates that large? Bonus: a terrific view on the water.
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 2, 2016Reliably good brunch dishes and inexpensive cocktails, with a modern twist and a warm sense of humor. Read more
whitney bSeptember 1, 2015Great food, great service, great drinks, and great music playing on the stereo! Was the perfect spot for a late lunch after exploring Chicago.- Bitches Who BrunchApril 19, 2016With views overlooking the Chicago river, Bridge House Tavern is everything we want in a brunch spot—affordable, beautiful, and has an outstanding patio!

Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the Bridge House Burger from our 100 Best list: This burger is rebellious in its restraint, classic in its conception and on-point in its execution. None of that keeps it from being enormous.
Amanda WhitneyAugust 21, 2016Breakfast beignets! Also great deals on mimosas and bloody Mary's during brunch happy hour
Paresh MJune 19, 2015During summer time, try to grab a seat outside because it has fantastic views of the City. Tavern tots are a must.
Richard RevillaJuly 18, 2016The chicken salad with almonds on a pretzel baguette is awesome. Make sure you have a reservation on Saturday night.
Alejandro CharcapeMay 21, 2016Great staff, very friendly. Get outside seating; great views of Chicago... Their mashed potatoes are to die for...
Crain's Chicago BusinessOctober 18, 2011The most knowing diners here go light on appetizers and save room for the massive double-cut pork chop ($29), a flavor-packed (plenty of fat around the edges), buttery-soft piece of pig. Read more
Tana BabcockJuly 28, 2017Awesome river front seating, great brunch and brunch cocktails. I'd avoid the green goddess salad. It was meh.
Name is somewhat deceptive as it's more of a riverfront restaurant. Burger is massive and tasty, fries are crisped to perfection, wedge salad is great. Sit on the water.
Love the relaxing Saturday brunch. Never loud and just amazing, reasonably priced food! Share some things as the portions are huge.
Kirstjen LorenzApril 25, 2017Chicken avocado rolls are good. River views and outdoor dining is wonderful in good weather.
Amy MJune 7, 2012Great food, great atmosphere, service was ok. Waiter was very friendly but host and hostess seemed aloof. Free dessert (cheesecake) for checking in was delicious!
Ryan ChaseSeptember 5, 2013If you're thinking about getting the free desert, don't stop by the old bait and switch here the manager made us so uncomfortable by telling us that we needed to buy something. Put it in special then!
Bob DeGraffOctober 5, 2015Uninspired beer selection with typical pretentious gastro pub fare. Nice outdoor patio on the river.
Hands down one of the best patios in Chicago. No staff compares to everyone here!
Madison WrightJuly 28, 2013Amazing service!! I would highly suggest this venue for any event you're looking to host. Give Kristen a call :)
Michele Esposito-KilleenSeptember 13, 2013Food was very good and service was excellent. Will go again
Rachel NessOctober 14, 2012Try the butternut squash risotto with crispy sage and parmesan! To. Die. For.
Jason BrownSeptember 20, 2011The Pork chop is huge and very well cooked! You have to see it/try it to believe it.
Radim SVOBODAJune 21, 2013They don't seat incomplete parties on the patio. Are we in New York or what? Be considerate, this is Chicago!

Mike SofkaAugust 23, 2013I wouldn't come back here for the sole reason they let the guys go on there boat, expected me to move, and didn't so much as say sorry.

"Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail"
