Union Park Lounge

Such a fun atmosphere! My cousin and I had a great time at their Seinfeld trivia night. Crowd was competitive but still super friendly. I look forward to...

Okay, so this is a nice little spot for a fun night out. There is a music venue on site. However, there are also lots of tvs and pinball machines in the...

Bottom Lounge is a solid music venue in the far-West Loop that checks all the boxes one could ask for when seeing a concert. To begin, I'm a big fan of the...

Decent bar food and drinks, but where it comes through is the open windows and tables right inside. Great summer breezes while looking outside yet still close enough to follow a ball game. Some of the seating in the back area away from the windows is a bit grimy and it's poorly lit.

I typically frequent this restaurant during lunch time. The wait staff are attentive and friendly. I order the steak quesadilla every time and I have no regrets. The cheese blended with the tender steak makes this quesadilla an experience. It looks like a great place to do happy hour or watch a game as well. I will have to add that to my to do list.

Great local bar. Good food - the lodge burger is a personal favorite. The only knock on the place is the service. It can be really uneven based upon who is serving you. Sometimes it's superb, other times the server will disappear for 30 minutes.

Just found this spot a few months ago for pre-Blackhawks food and drinks and love it. The huge parking lot is a big plus as is the free shuttle. It makes it very convenient to get to and from games and the crowd/shuttle ride is full of cheery Blackhawks fans which makes it fun as well. Oh, you can bring your drinks on the shuttle if you haven't finished them as well. They have a good amount of beers on tap even though I typically stick the to bud light buckets when I know I'll be throwing them back all night. At $15, they're very reasonable for the West Loop area. I can only speak on the steak nachos when it comes to food. They were fantastic, however, and came completely loaded (almost to the point where there was too much steak if there is such a thing) with perfectly cooked and seasoned, sliced steak. I'm used to bar nachos that come with ground steak that is gone after a third of the chips are eaten. I kid you not, these nachos are buried in meat. With that being said I have had others in my party get burgers, wings, etc. and said those were good as well but I have yet to convince myself to stray from the steak nachos. The service is typically very good although they do get busy an hour or so before the game (people taking advantage of the shuttle) so it helps to order your drink when you have a few sips left to give the waitress some time. I thought this was common knowledge when at a busy bar. The food on the other hand comes out 10 minutes after ordering which is really nice if your trying to sneak in a quick bite before leaving for the game. Lastly, I can't speak to the management before a few months ago, but I have seen the owner every time I've been in there and he always recognizes me and takes a few minutes to make sure my party and I are enjoying ourselves and encourages us to keep coming back. you can tell he really appreciates repeat customers and wants to keep them coming back.

Great sweet potato fries. Tons of Flat Screens, good bar food and just a great place to go to watch a game. Good spot for getting drinks after work and they also serve Sunday Brunch, which is nice.

A surprising amount of parking available, considering the location. Outdoor seating and bags games in the summer. Plenty of TVs and seating to watch the games. The food is pretty good, but the service can be quite slow when it's busy.

Good deals and tons of TVs, so it's a great place to catch the game. The food is hit or miss. Burgers are just OK, wings are good, flatbread is good... Note the outdoor area and bags set. And they run a bus shuttle to the United Center during Bulls / Hawks games!
