    Great food & event space - only criticism is the relatively staid beer list. Add some smaller breweries on tap & in large format bottles. Put that space to use for some breweries for rare beer nights

    Lounge away on a “secret garden” upstairs patio that’s hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Wicker Park. The space is complemented by a daily rotating selection of frozen cocktails Read more

    Meatballs at the deli are a delicious, old family recipe. Meats @ butcher shop are high quality (often local) & a great value. Dinner menu is served upstairs & downstairs after 5pm. Try the pork chop!

    Everything is outstanding. Get the Parpadelle with the short rib ragu. I could seriously eat that every single day. $5 glasses on wine on Wednesdays

    It's a butcher shop. It's a restaurant. It's a bar. It's an event hall. It's all of these things, it's finally open, and it's huge.

    The deviled eggs and burger were delish. We asked to split it and they basically gave us each full orders of fries as well. Great cocktails, rooftop, and service.

    Treat yourself to the indulgent lobster polenta cake eggs benedict, or dig into a portobello mushroom stuffed with housemade caprese sausage and topped with a runny egg. Read more

    Spicy Italian sub is solid. Add the mild (not spicy) peppers because the spiciness is just right. You can tell them that you want to eat your sandwich at the bar then order a beer.

    In the fall, great football game watching on a huge screen. In the summer, nice outdoor patio space. The burger is exceptionally good all year round.

    The butcher board may be a starter but really it's the main event. A lovely selection of meat and cheeses that pairs very well with the cocktail menu.

    I have never eaten in, I have loved their Italian sausage, chops, and the marinara is the best. If the butchers aren't busy, they are helpful.

    Went here on a Tuesday night and they were out of half a dozen ordinary menu items. Server said it was a "busy weekend." How often do they have fresh ingredients brought in???

    Food was good, but there was only 1 server for lunch, so it took some time to get our order in. The waiter was great once he got to us
