2 Sparrows

Update to add to the owners comments: 1- we didn't even make it inside enough to read the "clear sign asking to wait to be seated" because as my initial...

This place is a real hidden gem! Although maybe not so hidden because it was pretty busy even on a late weeknight. Great for a small group or a first date...

Looks like a cozy, dim, and elegant bar. Cocktails look delicious and beer selection is decent (mostly Chicago staples). Havana type music that's not too...

First time in Chicago and this was our first stop! Very discreet from the street but when you walk in it's a jazzy laid back vibe. Mike made us some...

Have you ever wanted to try a rum cocktail but have always been scared? At Sparrow, don't be. The wide range of cocktails allows any individual to fall in...

Great drinks and ambiance! My friends and I visited on a Friday night and the place got pretty crowded after 8:30pm. We appreciate how friendly and...

This place really exceeded my expectations! We were seated relatively quickly for a Friday night, and got the Grasshopper, the El Presidente, and the Hotel...

For some reason I've always been drawn to Two Sparrows with their homemade pop tarts, but the mixed reviews have kept me away. I don't think it will be added to my regular brunch rotation but everything was good. The menu seems to change monthly which I am all for, but it makes reviewing a little more irrelevant. I split the Orange marmalade pop tart ($4) with my table of 4 and was a bit disappointed. I had the Salmon BLT 2.0 at ($14) - grilled scottish salmon, bacon, pickled red onion, tomato, remoulade sauce and greens on a pretzel roll. It was quite good. A friend got the Chilaquiles ($10) - tortilla chips, fire roasted tomatillo salsa, 2 sunny side farm fresh eggs, queso-cheddar blend, black beans. Though I haven't had the whole menu I think this is by far the best value, it is literally the largest bowl I have ever seen and seemed to sooth the hungover tummy of my companion. Definitely one the nicest brunch locations around the Diversey Harbor area, hopefully Yolk doesn't take away too much business for them.

What a charming brunch spot. All the food is extremely fresh and unique, the menu rotates out which is great for variety. I would definitely recommend starting with their fresh homemade donuts. What a treat! As for entree's can't go wrong with the chilaquiles.

Great brunch spot! The food is so delicious and all of the ingredients are so fresh most of the dishes come with fresh greens on the side which is such a fun and healthy choice. I would recommend starting with one of the pop-tarts follow by the chilaquiles with a Sparrow Soda to drink!
