Great atmosphere
- Fun bar with cool decor.
- Huge beer selection.
-Always have drink/food specials.
- Plenty of tv's to watch sports.
- Friendly service.
- Big menu so it's sure to please everyone. Lots of options.
- Wild Bill burger is amazing with the arugula, goat cheese, and tomato chutney on a pretzel roll. It's pricey, burgers run about $15, but they're a big delicious mess. Comes with crispy crispy fries.
- Mac and cheese is really good.
- Wings were surprisingly amazing.
Unfortunately, Burger Bar Chicago suffered from opening at the same time as DMK and a few other burger-specializing bars, but it's actually very solid. Â The En Fuego, Gyro and Wild Bill are pretty good, and the Hey Shortay, Belly Up and the Elk Burger are off the charts. Â Not much for anything except burgers though, so go in with someone else and split a 3 lot.
I would like to apologize to the Yelp community for writing a terse and informative review with nary a joke. Â I'm better than that, and it won't happen again.
Not my favorite burger, but decent. I like the fact you can customize your burger with a myriad of different ingredients, including the standards (ketch, mayo, etc.). You can also go with the "stacker" option where there is a predetermined protein layered by another protein and other toppings such as slaws or cheeses such as smoked gouda.
Came with three big guys and my big self, as I was preggos at the time. We didn't have any alcohol. It was a late lunch, and we all ordered stackers. We ordered a belly up, smokehouse and a couple of hey shortays. Sweet potato fries, regular fries and truffle fries were the accompaniments to the burgers. All were good, cooked a little over what we asked for but it was not egregious. Â The shakes here were delicious and plentiful. Prices are about what you would expect a meal would cost 'round here parts.
Environment is sports bars-y and tall. It's a good place for a casual gathering. I would go back.
