Zella

Bar / Beer Garden / Club / Restaurant

Zella - Bar | Beer Garden | Club | Restaurant in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews

Party Earth Review Part upscale bar, part restaurant, part club, and part bountiful beer garden, Zella is either the greatest thing since sliced bread or is suffering from multiple-personality disorder – either way, patrons come in droves to drink, flirt, and drink some more. A deceivingly small entrance in the simple brick façade leads ... more

O'Donovan's - Historic Bar | Irish Pub | Restaurant in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews (2)

Party Earth Review In business since 1886 (it was called Schulien’s back then), O’Donovan’s is among the city’s oldest, continuously running taverns. And though it looks as lived in as it does well loved, that doesn’t dampen the energy of the young Cubs fans and friendly yuppies that make up the regular crowd. The space features a narrow ... more

Girl & the Goat - Restaurant in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews (4)

Party Earth Review Tantalizing plates of veggies, fish, and, yes, plenty of takes on goat give Girl & the Goat wide appeal among everyone from hardcore foodies to adventurous groups of trendy friends. Opened in 2010, Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard’s West Loop hotspot still sees reservations booked far in advance, but the cavernous loft ... more

Lottie's Pub - Pub | Sports Bar in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews (3)

Party Earth Review Having gone through multiple owners, names, and clientele over the course of its long history, Lottie’s Pub opened in its current incarnation in 2002, bringing a sporty but casual hangout to this mostly residential neighborhood. Named for a six-foot transvestite who allegedly ran the joint in the thirties, the venue’s ... more

Small Bar - Bar | Restaurant in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews

Party Earth Review When this location opened in 2010 there were already two other Small Bars in Chicago, and the third incarnation doesn’t buck the focus of its predecessors: craft beer, handmade comfort food, and soccer. Tucked inside a rustic building – formerly a pool hall where scenes from the Newman/Cruise film The Color of Money were ... more

  • review
  • user reviews

Party Earth Review A strange planet where tiki life meets retro drinking den, The Orbit Room attracts artsy hipsters and blue-collar locals alike looking for updated American pub fare paired with specialty drinks. Mature college students entering the single room lounge head to the leather-padded bar to sip one of the few craft beers on hand ... more

Schaller's Pump - Historic Bar | Restaurant | Sports Bar in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews

Party Earth Review A sports bar, a politician’s hangout, a place for home-cooked grub, and a friendly neighborhood dive all coexist at Schaller’s Pump, and have for longer than at any other watering hole in town. Established in 1881, the joint survived prohibition as a speakeasy, was the favored drinking den of five Chicago mayors (and counting ... more

Beat Kitchen - Bar | Live Music Venue | Pizza Place in Chicago.
  • review
  • user reviews (4)

Party Earth Review If the name doesn’t give it away, the muffled sounds of live music mixed with the smell of pizza should clue first-time visitors in to Beat Kitchen’s double identity as a restaurant and live music venue. Serving up fresh pies and lots of sandwiches and large salads, the place is a magnet for folks who aren’t even there ... more

Party Earth Review The Midwest is miles from the salty ocean shores, so the hungriest sailors rely on Fish Bar, Lakeview’s interpretation of the New England crab shack. Sky blue exterior walls with a giant fish painted over the brick lure in many inquisitive seafoodies, while the ever-rotating selection of freshly caught grub keeps regulars ... more

Party Earth Review With a list of alums that includes everyone from Bill Murray and Jon Belushi to Steve Carell and Tina Fey, Second City is undeniably one of the most influential comedy theaters in the country.

With thousands of restaurants in Chicago, the Windy City easily earns its reputation for being a great restaurant town. The city’s professional types and lawyers flood eating establishments for business lunches in the Loop during the day, while high-class couples and first daters take to fine-dining bistros and brasseries all over the city at night.

Chicago may be most well-known though for its out-of-this-world deep dish pizza, Chicago style hot dogs, and burger joints that populate the skyscrapers and corner buildings all over town. And whenever the Cubs are playing, every sports bar in town is packed, serving up greasy bar food for sports fans of every ilk.

Whether people are looking for great café brunches, power lunches, swanky dinners, late night nibbles, or everything in between, there are enough Chicago restaurants to provide for any taste or style.
