My family and I came here for the first time yesterday and I must say we will definitely come back again and most certainly recommend it. We absolutely loved the service and the food, our waiter was Zachary. He was very attentive and friendly without giving that rushing vibe that you get from some people sometimes. My husband definitely like his beer recommendations and us the dessert. The atmosphere was very chill and relaxed from gentleman that greater us and took us to our table to the place itself. Thank you for such great experience!💜

For Chicago, prices are relatively reasonable. The ribeye was $31. I subbed garlicky mashed potatoes for the fries. They have Mac n cheese but it was a little dry and not too cheesy. If you like creamy cheesy Mac n cheese you might want to skip theirs. Food was very good otherwise. Order your steak slightly less done than you normally do because they did overcook them slightly. Still really tasty though. This place is literally up the steps from the red line train. Reservations can be made but we got in without one in about 20 minutes around 7:30 p.m. I would definitely visit this place again.

Very popular place. Came on a Thursday night and had a 20 minute wait. Had some boneless chicken wings, egg rolls, mac and cheese, be a salad. All the food came relatively quickly, given how busy the place was. Food was pretty tasty.

My favourite place and I go to this place several times when I visit Chicago for the radiology meeting. I know they have many beautiful beers and they are all tasty. But my favourite drink is Bloody Mary there , especially if it is served with celery stalks. Food is also good. Try nachos for starters. Servers and bartenders have been so friendly. A good choice when you are around.

Great location close to Michigan Ave and a variety of stores and hotels. Very clean, good ambience, spacious. The steak and fries were just delicious. Really above what one usually gets in similar places. I would easily give five stars if service was a bit faster when i visited.

The host was very friendly. We had rooftop dining and our waiter was very nice! Everything we ordered was huge! You get what you pay for! My favorite the carrot cake! Delicious! So glad we found this spot! Don’t judge the sloppy pic of the cake. That’s on me not them. We got it to go and it moved while we were walking.

Service was slow but food was really good. Pub burger cooked perfectly. Fish and chips were great. Steak had great flavor. I had chicken tacos and the were under 650 calories and very good and I couldn't even eat it all!

This was our first time at Rock Bottom, although we come to Chicago 1-2 times a year and always stay in the River North area. Took the brewery and beer tasting tour found on Groupon. The tour itself was interesting but the tasting spent with the master brewer, Ray, was really informative. They brew several different styles of beer onsite. I enjoyed their Belgian Wheat and Dark Lager the most. But as an extra treat, we were given samples of a keg aged lager that was fantastic, smooth and complex with infusion of bourbon flavor. We liked the experience so much that we stayed to eat. Burgers were cooked perfectly with a nice grilled flavor with fresh toppings and a grilled bun. Waffle fries were crisp and well seasoned. Tuesdays several of their beers on tap are $2 if you eat there too. We will be back!!!

We had a great time here for our last meal in Chicago! We were sat in a great location with a super friendly and knowledgeable waiter(cant remember his name). And then when there was a large group of Canadian people asking for it, the manager opened up the back room and put the Raptors game on the projector for us! Great food and drinks at more than reasonable prices! Can't wait to return the next time I'm in Chicago and will be sending everyone that goes to Chicago your way!

Amazing food, great service. The guac was so fresh & delicious & the pretzel crusted chicken was to die for. $2 off all wine at happy hour, great beer selection. Growlers to go if wanted. All around, fantastic.

Bison sliders are very filling and flavorful. Candied bacon was just right. Waffle fries are great and their chili nachos are plentiful and well balanced.

Super Friendly bartender on 12/29 at 1pm. I’ve been here before and yes it is a chain but they do a lot of things right. The Kolsch beer is very good though the draft prices are a little expensive. Would and have gone back. The food is pretty good as well.

We went there for lunch on 4th July. This place is huge and had a rooftop. I had Mango Mojito and chicken salad which was delicious. The service was great. This was not on our list of restaurants to visit but I am glad we eventually did.

Brittany our bartender was amazing to chat with. My wife and her friend ran, so my buddy and I came to RB for a beer. We met another gentleman at the bar and the 4 of us had great conversation over beer and food. Manager working chimed in and everyone had a good Sunday! Couldn't ask for a better experience. Congrats to all the runners!!! Chi-town marathon 2021! PS. The stout is sipping beer. Warm you right up!! Dam it was good!
