Reviews for 80 Proof in Chicago, IL
Nice location parking on the street or near by lot. Food started out good but then seemed to rushed so it lost some flavor.... Mimosa were good. Read more
Best Brunch social ive ever had. This was more than brunch, it was a whole vibe!!! The the drinks are absolutely delicious, the... mac n cheese was an absolute hit and the choices were abundant. You really have to try this for yourself! The dj was wonderfuland set the mood for the whole party. I honestly didnt want to leave. Now the only reason they dont get 5 stars is because thefood needs to be kept fresh better but what a well deserving place of 5 stars!!! Read more
Went there for a themed party and there was a long line before entering. We were waiting for half an hour before going in, and... it was moving slow because they check you on a paper list. It would have been a lot faster if they actually send you a bar codethey are electronically scan. The inside is great though. Loved the old stereo display walls. Drinks are awesome. Food was superdelicious for a bar. They have at least 3 levels. I enjoyed the music the DJs played, for this night in particular was 90s RnB.Sounds system is great all around. On the 3rd level there is an open balcony. There is seating, bar and dance area on eachlevel. The crowd in the area is on the younger side though, very early 20s, so beware. I know they have karaoke night eachThursday so would highly recommend this place. It has a vibe! Read more
Can't go wrong for mimosas and a buffet for a set price. Food isn't bad. Plays good music which helps the summer outings. Has... options for those that have dietary restrictions which was a nice surprise to see. Read more
We ended up here for Saturday brunch, not realizing that was the only option. Fortunately, they had a whole section of vegan... food to choose from, most of which was very tasty. The atmosphere was like a nightclub, but on a Saturday afternoon. Ourbartender was very friendly and attentive, but unfortunately there weren’t any other vegan options besides the ones at thebuffet upstairs. Would like to go back to try the regular menu. My biggest issue was the $30 price tag for the brunch buffet.$15-20 would have seemed more reasonable to me for what was offered. Read more
We were a group of 4 and came here for brunch on a Saturday morning. It was completely empty other than perhaps 4 other people,... which was surprising. And this was around 12noon .There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. There’s an egg station,and there’s also separate stations for vegan food, charcuterie, sliders and appetizers, desserts, crepes and waffles, andseafood. Food was good, could be much better though but 30 USD is a fair price, I think. The vegan egg sandwich tasted weird,wasn’t a big fan and the Buffalo cauliflower wasn’t very crispy or fresh. Liked the tacos, yucca fries and quesadilla a lot.Some of the desserts were good but others kind of just fell flat. The muffins were pretty dry. Service could have been better.The staff weren’t too concerned about service, and since there were hardly any people, they were just busy chatting up amongthemselves and even water took a long time to come to the table. The staff at the egg station didn’t appear until we were justabout to leave. And that’s not the best way to advertise your brunch to people. The ambience would definitely be much betteroff with a some hustle-bustle and more people. Regardless, it would be good to see this place picking up on the taste andservice front. Although we had a decent time here, I am not entirely sure if I’d recommend people to go here yet. Maybe downthe line once there’s some improvements in food and service. I am rounding down to 3. I would have ideally given this place a3.5. Read more

We had a surprise engagement party for my sister. Everything was so great. The staff there was freaking amazing especially the... General manager-Josh. He was so awesome and very helpful. The food was good and the drinks was flowing all night. I woulddefinitely do another event here. Thanks so much 80 proof for making my sister engagement so memorable. Read more
