DeLux Bar & Grill

BAR REVIEW: DeLux Bar & Grill in the River West neighborhood of Chicago, IL

From the mastermind behind the infamous (and former) Lincoln Park bar known as Parkway, comes a local city bar with the friendly atmosphere of suburban bar: DeLux Bar & Grill. Situated in the up and coming neighborhood of River West on Milwaukee Avenue, DeLux Bar & Grill offers plenty of incentives for you to keep coming back for more. The food menu is one of the main reasons why this local River West bar has found a special place in my heart. From the finger-licking good Chicken Wings to the Sloppy Joes to the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, DeLux offers you the typical bar food, but adds an important ingredient: flavor. All the food items at DeLux taste good sober or wasted.

Now as for the beer menu, DeLux offers mainly bottled beers. The only draft beers DeLux offers (currently) are Guinness, Newcastle and Blue Moon. Having only 3 draft beers may cause a problem if you want fresh tasting beer. Fortunately, the 3 beers they do have on tap are fan favorites.

When I visited DeLux on a Sunday, I noticed how there was more than 1 NFL fan base present. Of course you had your Chicago Bears fans, but you also had Cleveland Browns fans, Dallas Cowboys fans and New York Jets fans. This melting pot of fans creates a unique football environment at DeLux. Each fan base stakes its claim in one area of the bar and they proceed to cheer their team and jeer your team.

DeLux Bar & Grill is located at 669 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Phone: (312) 850-4008. Website: www.deluxchicago.com

WestEnd Bar & Grill

October 28th, 2007

BAR REVIEW: WestEnd Bar & Grill in the West Loop Gate area of Chicago, IL

As one of the newest drinking establishments in the up and coming West Loop and West Loop Gate areas, WestEnd Bar & Grill goes out of its way to make sure they get everything right. The inviting atmosphere, the neighborhood feel, non-smoking environment, the numerous wide screen plasma TVs and ample seating make this bar a great place to meet and mingle. What really matters to me though, is the beer selection.

WestEnd Bar and Grille has a strong draft beer selection (Hacker-Pschorr, Goose Island Matilda, and Peroni Nastro Azzurro, to name a few) and a fantastic bottle selection (La Fin du Monde, Delirium Tremens and Great Lakes Elliott Ness, to name a few). You are faced with a tough decision when it comes to selecting the next round of beers. It does help how the friendly staff makes you feel special no matter what beer you choose. The beer list is not as expansive or as impressive as say THE BEER BISTRO (which happens to be down the street), but the selected beers they have make it a terrific destination for drinks.

WestEnd Bar & Grill is located at 1326 West Madison Street in Chicago, IL. Phone: (312) 981-7100.

Rockit Bar & Grill

May 3rd, 2007

BAR REVIEW: Rockit Bar & Grill in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, IL
www.rockitbarandgrill.com

No other Downtown Chicago bar mixes the hip factor of a new nightclub with the trendy factor of a new restaurant like “Rockit Bar & Grill” on Hubbard Street. This bar and grill brings everything that makes going out fun and exciting into a cool warehouse-type space in the River North neighborhood. You go to Rockit to see and be seen. The 2 floors that make up Rockit are filled with young professionals, trendsetters, established professionals and drinkers. Each floor has its own bar and vibe. The 1st floor has the restaurant vibe since you can sit down and enjoy a fantastic meal. The 2nd floor has the lounge vibe since you can play pool or crowd around the lounge seats. As far as the beer selection goes, it has your standard favorites accompanied with some unique selections. My suggestion: order a glass of Honker’s Ale and the Rockit Burger off the Entree Menu. Yes, the Rockit Burger comes with a steep price of $19, but if you had to pay around twenty dollars for a burger, the Rockit Burger gets my vote. The combination of Goose Island Honker’s Ale and a Rockit Burger makes you crave more even after you are done!

A great destination if you are in the River North area of Downtown Chicago, Rockit Bar & Grill does what a Chicago drinking establishment should do: provide you with a good time!

Rockit Bar & Grill is located at 22 West Hubbard Street in Chicago, IL. Phone: (312) 645-6000. Website: www.rockitbarandgrill.com
