Been coming here close to 10 years. That alone should mean something...lol. Some of the best drinks ever at a reasonable price. They will fill the brim of your glass with all top shelf drinks.
- Redeye ChicagoMarch 18, 2015The stiff drinks cost less than the average cocktail shaken up by your ubiquitous vested River North micologist. Paired with the free popcorn in the early, Ceres offers some of the best value in town. Read more
CheapismNovember 12, 2013If you don't feel like pancakes, try the Friday special, Deep Fried Halibut, for less than $10. Read more: http://www.cheapism.com/p/cheap-downtown-chicago-restaurants.mhtml#ixzz2kQcYsQXg
Max MossSeptember 26, 2015Have one drink and you'll be good. Have two and you'll be great. Have three and your pals are carrying you home. Would do it again though.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Order a rum and Diet Coke and you'll get just that: a glass of rum with a can of Diet Coke on the side. Read more
Brad SaxonAugust 7, 2014Most value added drinks in the loop. Ask for a whiskey coke and you'll get a glass of whiskey and a can of coke all for around $7.- Oh yeah...if you can't finish your drink, go into the kitchen and grab a coffee cup, pour it in the cup and they will allow you to leave discreetly of course. ;)
Melanie YoustraMarch 5, 2013you get a vodka and coke and they pretty much fill the glass with vodka then add a splash of coke...for $5...probably the best deal in the loop!- Jon B.September 10, 2022An institution in the loop for happy hour. A little scratch goes a long way with the basic cocktails.
The buffalo chicken wraps are to die for and the have a mean amaretto sour very inexpensive
Bill PeelerAugust 11, 2017This place is an institution for a reason. Just go and get your drink on ----
Terence ChanDecember 18, 2014Good drinks. Calamari and fresh chips with guac and salsa were quite good
XMNDA CHEEKSDecember 11, 2014Tilapia Tacos are AMAZING! (Oh and the drinks are ridiculously cheap for what is given.)
Jillian BurnickasFebruary 5, 2015When you order a cocktail, you get a glass of alcohol. It's awesome.
There's a reason why this place has last call at 8. And it is because it will turn your life into a shit-show with one drink.
Great for grabbing some drinks after work with a group!
Angie KOctober 28, 2011Order a Jack & coke and they'll bring you a glass filled to the brim w/ Jack $ a can of coke. Joy!
You have already been warned. Drink carefully and have a blast. It's Friday!!! (It's not? Why are u here😒)
When you go to Ceres you go for the "mixed" drinks. Beer? Go elsewhere. Straight alcohol is where it's at!
ShernFebruary 23, 2013Strong drinks during happy hour. The food takes too long to come but was good. Would be better if they played music.
- Food and service are good Drinks are STRONG BUT THE Cell service sucks and Ceres wifi sucks
