Reviews for LUXBAR in Chicago, IL
Old fashion was good…kale salad was fantastic and steak was a little over cooked. Not a bad vibe but too over crowded. Was... expecting something more intimate, not a good date night spot. Instead just a place to hang out and grab drinks and wings. Read more
Spending my birthday weekend in chicago and my husband made reservations here. 1st thing I like is that it was within close... walking distance to the Viceroy. Great atmosphere. Great waiter and food. The manager gave us his personal business card in casewe ran into any issues which we didn't. :) Between my husband and I, our bill was over $100 ( tip included). We ended up gettingthe Moscow mule, lux pretzels, lux Royale burger, BBQ chicken sandwich with a fried egg, Macaroni Gratin, caramel latte and thecookie skillet Read more
I’ve been to LuxBar before and had a great experience. This time was a little less so. My girlfriend and I decided to get... starters, steak and cocktails. Everything was very good and tasty until we got to the steak. We both ordered medium rare butreceived it cooked nearly medium well. We sent the steak back and asked for it to be cooked medium rare instead but the serverreturned with the same steak and told us the person who cooked it thought it was fine, I thought this was unprofessional. Themanager, William, came around to check on us and noticed our table was wobbly and promptly came to the rescue to fix it. Helater came back to the table after the steak fiasco and took one steak off the bill. It was a nice gesture but not really whatwe were looking for. Overall it was a decent experience and William is the sole reason for the 4 stars vs 3. Will be back buthoping for a better experience from the kitchen next time. Read more
We went to LUXBAR for a rehearsal dinner. The service was fantastic. Every few minutes a server was offering an appetizer and... drinks. They were very attentive and the food was delicious. For the sit down part, the steak and cauliflower steak weredelicious. We were given 2 deserts! Granted, this is based on the wedding party's decisions on food/drink choices, but theexecution was great! We were on the second floor which has beautiful windows and views. Read more
Tried to eat next door at The Original Pancake House and the line was out the door. Went next door to Luxbar and was seated... immediately. Ordered an espressos martini and a French omelet with sausage on the side. Delicious! The service was spectacular. Great experience. Read more
My Server Ashia, was fantastic, very professional and attentive, never bothering her guests. I'm a Restaurant Manager myself... back home and I noticed also how she interacted with other tables. I was a solo diner and she made me feel very welcomed. Foodand old fashioned were also great! Keep up with the good work. Well done. Read more
We arrived in Chicago later in the evening, and it was one of a very few places still open, so we decided to visit it. The... overall experience was decent, but not excellent. First of all, it was very loud inside, a lot of talkative groups of peoplehaving loud conversations. Second, everything takes quite a while (waiter to come to the table, for food to be brought, etc). Itcould be due to a large number of people in this spot… Some negatives are: they do not have any draft beers, the menu is quitelimited, and they were out of chili during our visit. The food that we ordered though was pretty good, and the booth that wewere sitting at, was also very comfortable and private. Read more
New to the area and was told to checkout Luxbar. Was able to make it in there the other night and I was not let down. This place... is well kept and the service was excellent. My server Leandra recommended the old fashioned while I perused the menu. The oldfashioned was great and I loved the huge ice cube. Didn’t know what I had a taste for and being in the service industry I knowthe staff knows what’s good so I asked what she recommended. She asked me a few questions and then said I should get the kaleand truffle pizza. It was excellent. Will definitely be coming back. Read more
