    Where is the negative star option?  I ordered to pick up food while my girlfriend was getting a facial and massage. When I went down to pick up the food no one said a word to me. I had to get someones attention after sitting in this place for like 10 minutes.  I ordered the artichoke dip and buffalo wings. How is this trash dip? It was more like soup or watered down milk. Raciast ass holes in here can suck a D%^#!!!

    I came here with my buddy for pub trivia. I love trivia and when Danny let me know about this event during the Elite event, I knew that I was going to make it no matter what. We went during Drinks Week so Zombie Dust was $3 bucks. A top 10 beer on Beer Advocate for $3? The answer to that question is yes!

    Danny ordered the Chili Cheese Tots for the table, which were like their nachos but were with Tater Tots and not tortilla chips or waffle fries. They were winner, but unfortunately, Team I'm Going to Zombie Dust in Your Mouth was not.

    Well, there was plenty of beer, some good cocktails, a decent amount of correct answers and a reignited love of trivia, so IGTZDIYM was a winner, after all.

    Awesome place!  Sailing decor is cool, and the waitstaff treats you like you belong to a yacht club.  Good food and specials. Nice location too

    I've been going to WMT for years & there's never been a time that I've had any reason to complain. The service, food, atmosphere & drinks have always been on point.

    During my most recent visit, I stopped in for drinks & a late lunch. There were a few people in the restaurant but it was pretty quiet. The bartender also doubled as the waitress.

    I ordered the pirate punch & the buffalo chicken ceasar wrap with steak fries. It was delicious & very filling. I also had a bowl of beef chili which was fantastic.

    Our waitress was attentive for the most part but she had a friend eating at the bar & seemed slightly distracted by said friend's presence. It was a bit annoying when I needed something but she did check in eventually.

    Can't recall her name but she was one hell of a bartender too. (short, young blond) My friend & I left with a nice buzz after having only 2 drinks each.

    Love this place - nice atmosphere, good drinks, and good food.  The service was good and I love the varied menu.  Everyone at our table loved their burgers, sandwiches, and wraps.  Plus, you have your pick of table types...normal tables, hi boys with chairs, and low couches with tables too.  The nautical theme is understated and fun, not slap you in the face, which I appreciate.  

    This is a great place to have dinner with friends or after work drinks.  I'll definitely be going back.

    I recently reviewed this place for dinner on Chicago Restaurant Examiner. We had such a nice time that night we decided to come back for the New Year's day brunch and bottomless mimosas.

    Since we saw from our previous visit that this is a family-friendly place, we brought our 5-year-old daughter/granddaughter with us. She loved the helium balloon they gave her and the big sidewalk chalk pieces they let her draw on the table with. We got there early and sat on one of the couch lounging areas. Totally chillin' and watching the NY college football game. Food was good--standouts included the chipotle-flavored Hollandaise on the Eggs Benedict and the wonderfully crisp side of bacon. The flank steak with the Steak 'n' Eggs was excellent quality and very nicely cooked--crispy browned edges and medium-rare center.

    We weren't there to get blitzed so the 5:1 OJ/champagne was okay with us--we drank at least 3 carafes of the stuff. Our server was attentive and owner Mark made us feel very welcome.

    If I lived closer I'd definitely come more often, especially for some of the specials mentioned in other reviews. It feels really comfortable. And yeah, I'm way past 30-something... " )

    What a nice little spot for drinks and lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The food was REALLY good, the drinks reasonably priced, and the service was restaurant quality (as was the food). Highly recommend the Almost Stormy and Devil In Blue cocktails, and the Filet of Beef with the most unique preparation of mashed potatoes I've ever seen--deep-fried in a tortilla--taste just like potato skins! Enjoy

    I live in the neighborhood and used to love this place but service has been so horrendous I am bidding it farewell.  Case in point went there today ( New Year's Day) and was seated for fifteen minutes and nobody came up to our table.  The female bartender who has always been somewhat in attentive was completely clueless and their was a bar back that walked right past our table and then started drinking with his friends.  You can assume with a culture like this expect the worst.  A shame really on the service because the food is actually good.  If you are their when the owner is there the staff is wonderful.  If he is not there his staff acts like students in front of a drunk substitute teacher

    This review is for the Sunday bottomless mimosas only. If that is why you are headed here, I very strongly suggest going elsewhere. I should also note that I am a booze hound and do not drink mimosas to get hydrated. They are 95% orange drink (not juice) and 5% cheap champagne. It only cost $13 but even that is too much. I have been here twice on Sundays and been thoroughly disappointed each time to the point that my table ordered a bottle of their cheapest champagne ($20) to supplement. Both times I asked the wait staff if it was possible to increase the ratio of champagne to OD and was denied. Other than that, the bar atmosphere seems alright and service was decent. Just don't go here for the mimosas EVER. Under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

    Can't complain about this gem in the South Loop. I'm not a fan of the typical Chicago bar scene, so that's probably why I feel so at home here. The fact that I sail and therefore dig a sailing themed bar can't hurt either!

    We've been coming here for years and have always been treated well by bartenders/waiters/waitresses. The owner will bend over backwards to make sure you are having a great experience. I did enjoy the short-lived karaoke night, however Trivia night on Thursdays has always been a good time. I love their monthly beer specials (Goose Island Green Line is the current special this month, which makes me extremely happy!) and they have a pretty diverse menu to suit whatever you're in the mood for. From a delicious filet and appropriate sides, to tater tots and a burger (or a turkey club, if I'm feeling guilty) I've always been able to find something on the menu to satisfy my craving of the moment!

    It's a great place to take family, even babies, and yet it has the crowded energetic feel of your favorite neighborhood bar when it comes to sporting event viewing. It also is right on the Chicago Marathon path, so it's a fantastic location to view the race!

    Our bartender server was very nice and attentive to us.

    But canned mushrooms is where I draw the line.  Really?  Who does this?  And why?  How could you serve anyone canned mushrooms and feel good about it?  In addition, the skillet didn't come close to anything that I ordered.  But had the mushrooms been fresh, I wouldn't have cared too much.  At least give me the bacon and cheese to cover up the fact that your food either comes out of a can or a frozen bag (the potatoes were pretty awful too).

    We also find it rather odd that another server tending to his tables would walk by us with a fresh pot of coffee and not offer to refill our empty cups.  We weren't his table, so nevermind us.

    If I could stomach the crappy frat boy music, I would come back for the beer and bar nachos.  But I can't, so you'll find me across the street at City Tavern instead.

    Last year a friend and I were wandering the streets of the South Loop when we happened upon the Weather Mark.  There's an odd sailing theme to the place but at the time, it was one of the only drinking establishments in the area (Wabash Tap was the other) and we were stoked!  We were determined to make this our new spot.

    Unfortunately, most friends wouldn't come down to the South Loop and when they did, the food was horrible.  Specifically the mac and cheese balls which had frozen insides and the sauce had too much oregano.  However, since I live in the area I still come around from time to time but with all of the new bars, I hadn't paid a visit until last night.  It wasn't our intention; we actually couldn't find parking near The Scout.

    The place was packed for a Bears game.  Crowd is 35+ and diverse, representative of the neighborhood.  The servers are kind although slow.  I realized how much I like the Weather Mark - the vibe is chill, welcoming and drama free.  I'm definitely going to have to come by more often.  When we left we drove by The Scout and the police were on the sidewalk breaking up a fight.  Guess it's the Weather Mark (or City Tavern) from now on!

    I went to Weathermark Tavern this past Sunday to watch the Bears game. I actually ended up there because Scout was entirely TOO packed, and was surprised that there were open tables @ Weathermark..

    Weathermark seemed to be an okay, but rather basic bar. It's nautical themed with ample seats and tv screens. Only a few tables on the patio (maybe 3) and decent priced food and drinks. Although I didn't order any food, I did see the menu and it seemed like standard bar food. Affordable prices.The beer is also priced well.

    Although there were available seats for the game, it wasn't the most lively environment. Think of this as an older South Loop crowd. Not the 20-mid 30 crowd... like 35-50 lol. Not bad if that's what you're looking for.

    In a sentence: Cute, sailing-themed bar in the South Loop that's never full of d-bags or the like.

    The food is mediocre and the service is fine, but if a cheap beer and bomb sweet potato fries are your thing, then this is the place. They have some games inside to keep you entertained and a bottomless mimosa brunch special to ... keep you entertained.

    Decided to stop in here before the bears game yesterday evening. I read that they have a good beer special for the game but the sailing theme i saw on their website made me think it was going to be a little bourgeois.

    Any way, we walked in and grabbed spots at the bar and were immediately asked what we would like. got our beers and ordered nachos and the tater tots (best tater tots i've had in a long time). Our food was brought out before i was even half way done with my beer, so very prompt. we exchange small talk with some of the bartenders and they all seemed very nice. after a few more beers and shots we closed out and the bartender bought us one more shot. i know alot of places do this to keep people coming back, but it worked cuz i plan on coming back next time i near the area,

    As i said the decor is a sailing theme but i guess its not too distracting. there are couch seating all along the south wall and i believe i saw a patio area up front.

    on our way out the manager or owner, i assumed he was, was there to say good-bye. which is nice. overall great spot

    Been here a few times recently but never got around to writing my review. So here goes. I'm definitely a fan. Was there with a group of 8/10 coworkers (many of which were from out of town) back in June and had such a good experience, we went back two more times during the week we were all together. Across the board we thought the food was terrific. Service was great and the beer and rum selections were excellent. Any place that has Ron Zacapa 23 and XO is my kind of place.

    Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice chill atmosphere and great food and drink.

    The South Loop doesn't have many places to catch a quick drink, so the Weather Mark is awesome in that respect. Daily drink specials, friendly service, and a small outdoor seating area make this my go to place for a beer!

    Went for brunch. Worst French Toast I've ever had in my entire life. And French Toast is the only breakfast item I order from restaurants, so my palate has been around the block. I was part of a large brunch party and it took forever to get out food. Forever. Like, I thought the were kneading my bread in the back.

    2 stars for the unlimited drinks and so-so service.

    Alright, if you're in a bind and really need to get a drink ASAP, then Weather Mark Tavern will be fine. They have a few sidewalk seats if you arrive on a nice day, and your dog can hang out too while you're outside.  The food works, the beer list is average, and the service is about average too.

    Drink/atmosphere only review:

    As many have mentioned, the nautical theme is jammed into your psyche the second you walk into the joint.  Proximity to the lake calls for this, but it may be a bit too much.  There were times in between bloody marys I thought I was at a child's birthday party or an early 80's Love Boat themed gala.

    The service was well above board (yup, I did that).  Super friendly people kept the glasses full and met our small talk with smiles and sincerity.  A++

    Given the saturation of watering holes in this area I understand how important it is for a business to stand apart so I will give them the benefit of the doubt on the overdone theme.  Hell, for all I know there are scores of boatmen (and boatwomen) out there who regularly stroll in here, ascot and all.

    Let me start by saying this place really is like a 3.5, but I can't round it up, so it must go down.

    Thursdays are a great day to go. They have trivia that starts at 7:30 and 1/2 all appetizers. Their wings, nachos, and a few other goodies are quite tasty. They have a good selection of beer on tap. ALTHOUGH I was quite disappointed when they were out of Daisy Cutter. WHO DOES THAT?

    Anywho, this place blows when it comes to service all around. And this has been on two separate occasions. It's like you order and they wait by the window or bar until the order is ready AS OPPOSED to checking the tables to see if anyone needs anything. You gotztabe patient in this place. The other thing that kinda irked me was that we were in there watching the playoffs. Now I understand that this is Bulls territory, but there are other games on TV worth watching. After the 7pm game, we slowly noticed that they clicked the tvs from the 2nd game.. and then boom, NO TVS had the game on. WTH? So I walked over to the bar, smiled and asked can we get at least 1 tv with the basketball game? After he finished chatting with what I assumed was a regular patron, he happily obliged.. but at the end of the day WHO DOES THAT?

    All in all.. I'd go back to take advantage of the 1/2 apps, but not for much more!

    The Weather Mark is a pretty decent south loop bar with all of your bar food standards. Decorated in a nautical theme they have a regular bar, table top seating, comfy leather seating along a wall (separated by sailboat sails) and TVs for your sports fix.

    I went on a Thursday and was pleasantly surprised with their 1/2 off appetizers. Me and a friend ordered buffalo wings, quesadillas, potato skins and a few drinks. We were greeted immediately by the manager to take our orders since a waitress wasn't available at the moment. The staff was friendly and are food came out pretty quickly (it was piping hot and slightly overlooked).

    Overall nothing special about this bar but I would go back and catch a few games and get a few drinks if I was in the area. Definitely think it is a plus that they have the weekly specials!

    You probably wouldn't think that a place that is mainly a bar would be a great place to go for breakfast - but you would be mistaken my friend.

    Best eggs benedict anywhere, I swear! I'm pretty sure they put crack in the Hollandaise sauce. Why not 5 stars you ask? Because everything else I've had here has been pretty so-so. Not bad, not great, just food.

    Be sure to get there early on Bears home game days because there is usually a line of people waiting outside for them to open the doors!

    So a few of us had some grand plans to make the trek up to Evanston to hit up Buffalo Joe's.  We're kind of chicken wing connoisseurs and haven't been up there yet.

    Our plans fall through, but we still have a taste for chicken wings. Being in the sloop area already, we find that this place has $.50 wings (since when was that such a good deal?) on Tuesday nights. Perfect, it's Tuesday.

    We walk over and it's a nice looking place, comfy looking couch/loungy setup to the right, and standard pub tables and stools to the left. There were some weird fabric sails that separated the groups of couches, reminded me of the interior of a Great Clips, which probably isn't a good thing?

    We seat ourselves and are given menus. We order a round of beers and decide to get a bunch of wings and some sides/appetizers. That was when things turned bad. I don't think any one thing came out _good_. I can't say that the food wasn't good, I imagine the wings would have been significantly better if they weren't cold, even though the sauces were all a little saltier than I would have liked. Somewhere in there, my friend convinced us to reconsider the amount we plan to tip at the end of the meal. Leaving a tiny tip is hard for some of us to do, but we managed.

    He had a good point, almost all the issues were service related, slow/cold food, forgotten drinks, forgotten dipping sauces. I understand that the kitchen may have made a special order food incorrectly, but the server should notice those things as they're running the food.

    The food is ok at best, while the service is sub par.

    1. Turkey Burger- awesome! Fresh lettuce & tomato w/ cheddar cheese only added to delicious flavor of the well seasoned patty. The soft bun was simply divine! I enjoyed every ounce of that poor turkey's arse.

    2. Steak fries were spot on! Lightly seasoned and fresh out of the grease just like I like em! The portion was heaping, and took up over 2/3 of my plate. Loved em!

    3. I had the "5'o clock somewhere" cocktail.  Malibu Rum, margaritaville mango, grenadine & oj. Something like a vacation in a glass.... Minus the baggage fees. I had downed 2 of em before I knew it. Moderately sweet, so if you don't like borderline diabetic drinks it may not be your thing.

    4. Service was a 4 star. Moderately friendly, but I HATE having to flag a waiter down for water refills and wiping turkey burger juice on my sleeve (no napkins) just doesn't fair well with my soul.

    I will be back. When I find a place with great turkey burgers and great drinks, im in love!

    This local place is cleaner looking with its nautical theme than say the Wabash Tap. The food is reliable bar food; no surprises here.

    Reasonable wines by glass. Cocktails are basic, no mixology here.

    Crowd is local and friendly, and there's a fun jukebox. Barmaids are experienced and efficient, they leave you alone or chat with you as your mood takes. I'd rather go here than a 'joint'.

    Outside space is small and really on the street.

    Downgraded to ONE star.  It's a sad day, Yelpers.  I REALLY thought this would become a favorite after-work spot of mine.  

    Let's discuss...

    Thumbs Up:

    *Monday's special - $6 for burger (two toppings) and pint

    *Easy street parking

    Thumbs Down:

    *Took the bartender approximately 5 minutes to even notice me (even though there were ONLY 4 other people sitting at the bar with me)

    *Took the bartender 10 minutes to take my order (even though I made eye contact with her twice and smiled as a way to motion I was ready)  

    *Spinach and artichoke dip was TRAGIC.  A lukewarm, liquid, soupy mess.  It also tasted nothing like spinach, artichoke OR cheese.  And...inedible.  The menu listed this as $9.  (Hello, highway robbery.)

    *Bartender basically threw the plate of dip at me.  Never bothered to check in on me after that.  Awesome.

    Thumbs WAAAY Down:

    *Bartender #1's shift was over, so Bartender #2 might have been able to save this experience for us.  (Ha, who am I kidding?!)

    *Bartender #2 basically ignored me while I tried to get her attention to ask for the bill.  We made eye contact....and she looked away and continued her convo with the gentlemen at the end of the bar.

    *FINALLY asked her for our bill, but she basically looked annoyed and surprised because she didn't know if Bartender #1 ever charged us.  (She hadn't, of course.)

    *Took my bill and the card, but decided to stand and talk to the couple at the OTHER end of the bar.  (Ummm, helllo?  We wanted to get out of that place ASAP!  Just run my charges!)

    We never even got so far as to order the burger special 'cuz we didn't want to stay here any longer than we had to.  I don't like pulling the race card, but I'll do it when I feel it's applicable.  This is one of those times.  It's funny that every other patron in here was Caucasian and they all seemed to be receiving great service.  However, throw two Asian girls in here and we're free to be ignored and treated like sh*t?  I don't think so.  

    I'll take my business to more welcoming South Loop businesses from now on.  Boycott on.

    Aye' matey, shiver me timbers, no scalleywags here, just me jacks and lasses ready to be loaded to the Gunwales.

    What am I trying to say you might ask?  Well, I really enjoyed the place!  The atmosphere was laid back and yet sophisticated in a piratey ship type of way.  As a bonus, the food was good and the drinks were strong.  

    Yea, I will be coming back to see my fellow wenches take the helm.  I'm shovin' off til next time!

    Weather Mark had us riiiiiiiight up until the end when we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. More on that later.

    We went there for eats one night and the Vikings game a few nights later. Plenty of televisions, places to sit, clean bathrooms, etc. Nice servers and bartenders. Oh, and free WiFi.

    The wings are delicious, it's true, but they're not very big n' meaty (10 per order). Buffalo aren't too terribly spicy, the honey BBQ the better of the two (and I don't even really like sweet wings). Beer specials are things like $4 bottles, $15 buckets of domestics, the usual. The spinach and artichoke dip however, I'm going with a solid
    "not again" on that. Runny and reminiscent of Kraft white cheddar mac n' cheese in flavor. Luckily we were there on a half-priced appetizer night and that was about the only way we were ok with having ordered and eaten it.

    Also, heads up, Thursday night is Team Trivia night and if you're trying to watch a game just know that the trivia emcee will be talking louder than anything and the sound will be off until they're done.

    Dear Weather Mark, we love you.

    It's the quintessential neighborhood bar, but with a nice, calming atmosphere and above-average bar food. Love the sailing inspired decor of the place... there are giant sails separating the booths and a giant action shot of some competitive sailing above the bar. As we saw the owner, Mark, on a sailing club boat last year on the Fourth of July for the fireworks, that's no doubt where the inspiration for the bar comes from.

    The bartenders and waitstaff are all incredibly friendly and the service is great... Mark is also around constantly and always stays to chat with the regulars on a first-name basis.

    Now, a double plus are the food/drinks. The beer on tap is the most crisp and clean tasting that we've had in the city... we've seen the lines for the beers on tap being cleaned twice already the past year. We remarked something to that effect to one of the bartenders, and he informed us that even the beer vendors tell them that they're lines are the cleanest they've seen. That's always a good sign!

    We love love love the buffalo wings Weather Mark has (our favorite wings anywhere!), and the sweet potato fries are a must also. Definitely go on Tuesdays where they have 50 cent wings. Have never tried their entrees, but they look to be delicious and a cut above regular bar food.

    Perfect neighborhood bar for a relaxed evening with friends or family. Definitely not the your typical loud and bustling bar scene though, so don't go there if you're expecting a hell-raising night!

    Can't really think of anything that was a positive about Weather Mark Tavern except they will reserve tables for you if you have a large group.  Came here for a social function and the food and service were both lackluster.

    Ordered a variety of appetizers - the wings and buffalo shrimp were fine but orders were very small.  Someone ordered the spinach and cheese dip, which was an absolute joke.  It looked like someone had opened a can of condensed cream of broccoli soup and put it in a bowl.  The dip was thin, lumpy, and lacking in flavor.  And they served it with bagged tortilla chips - seriously?

    Drinks seemed pretty normal, except they were out of their monthly beer special (312) a few hours before a Bears game.  Great way to plan ahead.  When I asked if they were substituting another beer, the waitress said "Miller LIte."  Since those are both on the same level, okay.

    Service was very poor.  My friend gave our waitress money and needed change.  She waited at least 30 minutes to get that change.  At this point the bar was getting pretty busy, but all bars should be ready for Chicago football season.

    I'm interested in checking out more of the neighborhood, but don't expect to ever find me going back here.

    "The foods here is very poor and the service is indifferent or bad. Perhaps if you have low expectations and live close, it's worth it, but other wise avoid it."

    Unknown K, I couldn't agree more, but I can add more. This place, in a word, sucks. Sucks rotten eggs and bad fruit. We went there once and will never ever set foot in Weathermark again. Aside from the service being poor and slow, my husband and I were the victim of the "bill switch." We were there on a sleepy (and I do mean sleepy) Saturday night, the night before Easter, to have a few drinks. Aside from the 7 or 8 other scattered patrons the only other bodies belonged to a private party of about 10. We had 2 drinks each and decided to leave because the waitress behind the bar was overly preoccupied with the middle-aged Eurotrash sitting next to us. She made us start a tab and leave our credit card with her even though the place was virtually empty. We paid for our 4 drinks, which came to about $30, took our card and receipt, and left. What a surprise we had the next day.

    Long story short: they charged US for the party of 10, and switched the bill. I suppose it was an accident, although I'm not sure how it happened with only a handful of patrons, but suffice to say we weren't happy to have a $600+ charge on our credit card. We immediately called WM and were told that the manager wasn't in because it was Sunday, so we'd have to call back on Monday...huh? I told them that was absolutely not going to happen, and they were going to correct their mistake immediately. We walked over and they removed the charge, and barely muttered an apology. The manager did call us 2 days later, and basically had an "eh, it happens" attitude.

    Eh, your place sucks.

    As a "youngin" who's been in the working world for a year now, this place is fun, but only when I'm with the age-appropriate group. My coworkers range from 23-mid 30's and I'd say the crowd here hits the older end of that demographic. The first time I ended up here was at the very end of the night of my 21st birthday celebration with coworkers and I met some great characters.

    But on the weekends with my girlfriends, I'd say it'd be one of the last places we'd end up. One night, I walked in with a friend and not a single person in there was under the age of 30. We stuck out like sore thumbs and left after a few minutes of awkward staring. Not to be age-ist in any sort of way, but let's be honest, it's always more comfortable to be in a sea of people that aren't staring at you.

    Other than that, it seems to be your better-than-average locals bar, the decor is nice and the room is a really nice, open loft-like space with some decent deals on burgers and drinks and a sweet bartender who makes you wonderful grapefruit shots upon request - or your 21st birthday. But like I said before...it's a place I'd end up, not to start out.

    Deducting one star because they don't offer a vegan breakfast option
    (a tofu scramble would be nice...they carry all of the ingredients to make it)
    I'd LOVE to be able to go here for b-fast!

    My bf and I just stumbled upon this place today...it rocks! They have several vegan & vegetarian options and a great beer selection.
    I guess they make their own vegan dressing too, nice!
    There is outdoor seating and really cool large couches/chairs along the wall. Overall: Nice atmosphere, really good food, outdoor seating and good beer, need I say more?
    There are a lot of flat screen TV's, juke box and I saw a couple dining outdoors with their dog so it's pet friendly too!
    I'm really glad we found this place and are able to walk here.
    Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

    The Weather Mark is still a somewhat unknown South Loop treasure.  First off, and this is a big point...the kitchen is open to midnight, every night!  On top of that, the food is both interesting and quite good.

    Second, they have great specials throughout the week, such as Monday's $5 burger and a pint ('domestic' only, I'm afraid), and Tuesday's $0.25 wings.  Otherwise, they have a friendly atmosphere, a nautical theme, with a huge selection of rums, and a friendly staff.

    On the downside the service can be a bit slow, but let's face it...if you find yourself in the South Loop after 10pm...you haven't got a lot of food options, and this is a terrific neighborhood option all day long anyway.

    Food? Pretty good. The striking thing about this place is the confusion in decor. It is supposed to be sailing themed but there are no real "relics" that you would expect to find in a bar called "Weathermark Tavern". There are a few model boats shoved on top of the food prep area-they could have done marvelous things with old ship's bells, navigation lights, netting. Even if they wanted to do the sail-racer theme, they could've done kevlar covered chairs and alot of stainless cable. It is just mind-bogglingly thematically confused. The entrance looks like an office building. Very sterile and cold.
             The best thing? The servers and bartenders and cooks. They were all charming and extremely sweet and helpful. They just need a decorator to come in and really give it a personality. Or, take away the theme altogether.

    After becoming a "regular" at Weathermark, I had to come back and update my review.
    Perfect spot to frequent to watch sports, chat with the amazing staff (seriously, they make this place so welcoming), and hang out with friends.  They have great drink deals, really solid food, and a super comfy atmosphere.  I can't leave the south loop because I would absolutely miss this spot too much.  If you are in the area, stop by and meet the bartenders and the owner and probably me.

    The place looks nice, but very difficult to find. The signage is difficult to see from the outside. The nautical theme is done very well, and there's plenty of seating/lounging. It would be great if the decor played through in their menu and bar selection. It's very new so hopefully they tie up the loose ends and fix the kinks soon.

    If they are going to use a nautical knot, I would suggest the cleat hitch.

    -well done (+2 stars)
