(Clockwise from upper-left) The John Shaft cocktail, King Crab Gnocchi, Three Aces Old Fashioned cocktail and the Pork Belly Pizzetta were all amazing. Highly recommend!

Matt Troost's refined bar menu in a rock 'n' roll-vibed neighborhood spot with a killer beer list and fantastic parking lot patio is a great reason to hit Taylor Street. [Eater 38 Member]

Three Aces is a big space with an even bigger brunch menu. Did you know breakfast poutine is a thing? And it comes with bacon Sriracha? Sign us up. Read more

The tongue is poached with spices, and it picks up all those flavors and brings it to the potato hash, which is topped with bone-marrow hollandaise, fried and pickled shallots, and a fried egg. Read more

Chef Matt Troost puts out food that ranges from popcorn with housemade hot sauce and thin pizzas to giant, made-for-two bowls of the Tuscan stew ribollita, his version topped with milk-braised pork. Read more

Upscale food at great prices. Solid beer and cocktail list, too. Get a seat on the patio in the summer -- one of the best in the city.

Get the chicken raviolo (it's one big ravioli), it is beyond good. Also, their garlic seeds are yummy as well. For drinks get the lavender lemonade.

The restaurant's wide-ranging American menu is available until 11 p.m., at which point the late-night menu takes over (11 p.m. to 1 a.m.), offering bar bites, burgers and pizzas. Read more

With plenty of picnic seating and umbrellas providing shade during the hot months, guests gravitate toward the patio before they try to find seating inside. Read more

Good for a whiskey drinker. Food menu is limited. Very dark atmosphere. Very cool place. Check it out! Good for dates and friends.

Again "College bar" in a "college town" in the summer they have an outdoor patio you can chill on and they serve food pretty late so get there by 9ish and you'll be fine ;)

Came here for the first time last night and everything we ordered was delicious. We ended dinner with the donuts topped with caramel bacon. Beer and donuts...mmm. Looking forward to coming back.

1/2 pizza every Monday. Short rib pizza with roasted garlic cream sauce will make your taste buds weep with joy (salivate). Try them all, they are 1/2 off.

This is arguably the best bar on Taylor Street, Amazing beer list, pool, pinball, photobooth, interesting menu choices, quiet enough for a conversation in the back, NICE staff, NICE owner. I'm happy!

I still don't really understand what double dough means, but the pizzettas are very good. Great patio area too on a nice day.
Phillip SoloriaMay 27, 2013
The breakfast poutine was superb. The service was great. All while watching replay of WWF Survivor Series. I will definitely be back.

Beer menu is great and the arugula pesto pizza and ace burger were outstanding.
Crain's Chicago BusinessNovember 15, 2010
Executive chef Matt Troost is all about meat at the moment. Braised oxtail in the arancini (fried stuffed rice balls, $7). Luscious bar snacks like chips in duck fat, dusted with fennel pollen ($5). Read more

The rail of ten beer taps features all local brews, including Goose Island, Metropolitan and Two Brothers. Even the vodka is American-made—try a martini with Tito’s, straight from Austin, Texas.

The burger is amazing! Indulge by upgrading to Bolognese fries!

Try the chicken-thigh pizza from our 100 Best list: Everybody knows that, at the end of the day, there’s really nothing more satisfying than a well-made pizza.
Elizabeth GospodinovFebruary 21, 2017
I'm so sad that this place closed, if it ever reappears in a different location try the Ace burger and the sausage pizza!
Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011
Ask for the “ghost face killah” and you’ll get a pizza (pictured) loaded with insanely hot ghost peppers, which, unlike the pizza itself, have no qualms about making their presence known. Read more

Try the hand cut fries, and do not dilute with ketchup, lemon zest is just perfect
