Great Brunch Place

Love Wicker Park especially their Sunday Funday Brunch special! Their accommodating to all and its a random, fun place to watch football. The bartenders are great and I've gotten to know a few of them through time. Would definitely recommend this place to friends looking for a cheap, sunday brunch especially during football season

Great for Sunday Fun Day!

by kristyr

Wicker Park has the best bloody mary's I have ever tasted! The salt/pepper rim is the best part and it sure is a generous size. My favorite time to come here is whenever the weather is nice enough to sit outside and people watch. They also have great specials practically every night of the week. My friends and I just started going at night on Weekends for open bar specials and the DJ plays great music!

Pros: Best Bloody Mary's!

UES HOT SPOT

by RLJ74

I dont know how I've missed this place in the past; I had a great time about 2 weeks ago. I went for a late dinner and few drinks. The skirt steak was just right and the bartender was smoking, who could ask for more. The place really got going about 11pm and didnt stop to about 3am; that few drinks turned into a few more then expected.

Terrible service, terrible crowd

by LauraM658

When I went, the bartender was serving a group of men that seemed to be his friends, and a few of them (including the bartender) were very rude. They were confrontational and insulting. The bar didn't have a good vibe, and honestly the group there seemed kind of threatening. I would not recommend this place for anyone - there are plenty of other great bars within a block of Wicker Park.

Pros: none
Cons: service, vibe, clientele

Great bar scene and food thats a little classier than your standard bar fare. Filet sliders are insane. Has a good balance of a good restaurant during the day and a fun(and yes, at times a little wild) bar scene at night. secret: can usually find groups of cute girls hanging out there on a week night for dinner/drinks...
