Chicken Tortilla Salad is what dreams are made of… seriously. Also the fish tacos are delicious too

Vegetarians rejoice! They have a veggie burger that doesn’t tasty like a sock and sadness. Partner got the basic veggie burger and I got the patty melt with a veggie burger instead. Everything was tasty. Seemed like there were some good cocktails but didn’t indulge. Service was adequate. Nice atmosphere.

I went here yesterday for Taco Tuesday specials. I enjoyed the tacos even though they did not come with any cheese on them. My tequila sunrise and margarita tasted like they were nonalcoholic. The waitress was very friendly and attentive!

I was super impressed by this place! The interior is a great dive bar-y feel but in a beautiful homey feel that you wouldn’t expect out of the area. I went to watch a bulls game with a friend and our server who seemed shy at first lightened up and was super sweet! The food was really tasty and their burger list exceeds any neighborhood bar standards anywhere. I’ll be returning just to try them! Really great for a date or just a fun weekday hang out. There’s w few cozy seats(the fireplace is perfect for a chilly Chicago night!) 4 stars purely because the wing sauces don’t taste house made which was a disappointment!

I love this bar! The food is pretty great, you should come for brunch when Lizzie is working and order the fabulous bloody and the Huevos Benedict.

I live right down the street from this place and I have to admit that I didn’t like it as much as I do now. It’s a great neighborhood bar because it’s spacious and the drinks are affordable. Not all of the food is great, but I do recommend the sliders with all of the fixings and waffle fries. The tacos are meh and you can find better authentic tacos at different places in the neighborhood. There’s a pool table if you want to play and a wrap around patio. It’s cool for a quick lunch or brunch to get out! Lastly, one thing that I wasn’t a fan of was when they told me that I had to tie my dog on the outside of the gate if we wanted to eat on the patio. I’m sorry but I’ve never been told that before in a restaurant and so we opted to not eat here because our puppy needed to be closer to us.

Great service & drinks. Food is pretty good. What ruined it for me, but not for others in the bar was all the kids, toddlers, infants… when I go to a real bar I prefer it to be adults only.

The food is ok but the service is continually an issue. Half full drinks, terrible servers that are self important and slow service. I wish that this neighborhood place was great but it is bad each time I patron this place.

Eh, I didn’t actually get to eat or drink here. The hubs and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner, were seated promptly on the patio, and then were left alone for 20 minutes before we left. The menu looked decent, but we needed to get a drink order in sooner! Simply make sure your servers stop by every 5 – 10 minutes or so, especially after they personally seated the guest. We might try to stop by again, just to see if it was a staffing fluke that day.

This was my go-to neighborhood bar until… I ordered a spinach beet salad for take-out and it had a huge, dead fly in it! I immediately called the bartender who took my name and address down and«promised» that I’d get a gift certificate in the mail as reimbursement. It’s been a month now and of course, no gift-certificate, and I’m still grossed out.

The Beetle is your friendly neighborhood bar and grill, but way cooler. The servers are friendly and will get to know and welcome you. The food is also among the best for bar food that I’ve encountered. Try the Southeast Nachos or the Steak Salad; they’re awesome!

I am so happy that The Beetle is my neighborhood bar! First of all the food is great and it is a comfortable place to brunch, dine, or simply drink. Also– they rent their space for small occasions and get togethers and they absolutely go out of their way to help out and accommodate no matter the occasion. I recently had a babyshower there and they bent over backwards to help me plan it and make sure everything was smooth sailing. It was so stress free and convenient and I can’t thank them enough. I worked with Colleen on the organization part of it and Kristen and Jessica the day of. All of them were so nice and helpful. They had great response time and made sure that everything happened according to plan. Their pricing was great as well and they are more than willing to work with you. I would definitely suggest them for small get togethers!!!

Didn’t have to work late last Friday so I was super excited to go meet up with some friends for dinner and drinks. The excitement went up a notch when I saw this place had an $ 8 fish fry. The fish was decent. I enjoyed their coleslaw and waffle fries. My beverage of choice was Central Water’s Mississippi Mud Porter. Delicious. Overall, a fun evening in a casual, divey bar that I would definitely return to.

I was here recently for a short study session in the afternoon and I loved the place & the staff was very friendly. Their cheeseburger was decent, I’ll try their waffle fries next time.

Delicious food. Well made cocktails. Friendly bartender. Nicely decorated, but still lived in space. If I lived in Chicago, I’d come here often, I think. The waffle fries were the best(generally have no opinion on waffle fries). I loaded my waffle fries with hot sauce(Cajun Chef — super delicious hot sauce) and blissed out in hot sauce and fried potato heaven. Really great burger too.

Food: Average Food Recommendation: Mushroom pizza, burger and waffle fries. Do not get the(strange) artichoke dip or(dry) hummus. Drinks: A nice beer selection, wine, liquor. Allagash white is consistently on tap. Price: Average. There are no $ 4 – 6 appetizer options. Atmosphere: Good Parking: Street– kind of tough sometimes. Wait staff: Uncomfortably bad. It often feels like I am imposing on their evening. Receiving water or a check is a monumental task– be prepared to wait. I would give a 3-star if it were not for the wait staff. Its an OK place, but probably not worth a special trip. If you’re in the neighborhood, there are many other phenomenal places to eat and drink. UPDATED to a 3 star– Haven’t been since but I received a nice message from the owner who said they changed things up. Cheers to you. I hope its better!

This place is a local neighborhood spot, which I am all for, but I also think that a local neighborhood spot should have good service too… and well… we had to work a little hard to get a drink and put in a food order here. Granted it was during a game, so clearly there were more people in here than usual, BUT we were ordering lots of food and drinks for dinner… But the beer selection is pretty good here, it is like a nicer, bigger dive bar, where you can tell if people don’t know you there, it is because you are visiting from somewhere else which I think is nice actually – although I was one of those people visiting from somewhere else! ha ha The food was okay – large salads actually! Who would have thought that this dimly lit bar actually made a decent salad? I felt weird ordering it, but wanted some vegetables if I could with all of the beer I was having… Plus Matt J. got a giant sandwich which was so so but it came with pretty tasty waffle fries. Those things are addicting for sure. So had the food been a little better, and had the service been a little better, I would have rounded up from my 3.5 rating, but rounded down for now.

Came in for a quick Monday night drink and surprise it was trivia night! I’m shocked by the 1 start reviews, I loved the atmosphere. I thought the place was decorated really great with a Damask painted wall and an amazing crystal chandelier in the front room. Our server was really nice and chatted with us for a bit which is rare these days. Beer menu was great, I ordered the first one on the list $ 5 for a bottle of Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager, brought out with a rocks glass, but that’s cool. The menu looked really good, classic bar appetizers hummus, wings, cheese curds, nachos. They also server brunch, which looks low key but nice. They offer 6 pizzas all for $ 10, 9 burgers, 6 sandwiches and some salads that can be turned in to wraps. They have a sidewalk patio and a pool table, I will definitely be back to check it out again!

Stopped by here for a quick drink after dinner across the street at Kai Zan. There was a check in offer for buy one get one drinks, but they said that meant one person had to drink both drinks. Lame. The bar itself was a bit drab and service was slow. Not really a place I would go out of my way to drink at. $ 5 mimosa special on Saturdays!
